Everyone:
Except that the manga, and your source(which draws on the manga), have his attack and manevering speed at much higher than simply 3x human:
That is the speed of his fist attacks. Not his body movement. Some of you keep doing the same mistake to argue that as it would be the same speed he would have to move from point A to B. It is not. Drunkard Kid for example had to the care to notice the difference.
What he way trying to say was that for Ranma, a hit from a Lightsaber would likely not be a one-hit fatality, assuming that Anakin could hit him.
It still no evidence that Ranma can resist the cutting or lightsaber. And if the saber hits him for example, where Kunou did, it would be a one-hit victory, yeah.
In short, by the time Anakin tries to swing his sword to avoid a punch from his left, Ranma can hit him in his Right shoulder, knee, crack a rib, and finish it off by sweeping his leg out from under him....
So ? There is no argument. Ranma win with one punch. The argument I had is about the possibility of Him being hit when he moves inside the threat area of the lightsaber, which is bigger than the threat area of punching, and something he does with less speed that punching.
Funny, then why is the one thing that is likely to trigger Anakin's fall to the Dark Side the one thing that makes Ranma Stronger?
Because how would Ranma take advantage of that ? Ranma have no mental powers to use against Anakin.
Why is Anakin hampered by the challenges in his life, while Ranma finds ways to improve on them?
Uh ? Anakin dealt with that very well, He will became the second most powerful being in the Galaxy and so on. He dealt in a evil way, but he dealt and he was successful, been dark side, does not mean being weaker of failure.
Yeah right, that's why he turned to the dark side, and lets his rage dominate him all the time and Palpatine manipulates him so easily that he doesn't pay attention to his master's
Uh, Being manipulated by Palpatine is not demerit. Everyone in the entire Galaxy was. And Anakin will is not weaker because he turns to the dark side. It was weaker than Palpatine’s that made him turn, that is all. Darth Vader had a extremely strong will, dark side with him.
You mean like Kuno, Mousse, Herb, Kirin, Touma, and Saffon?
Not in the scenario with Ranma having to use the saber. Unlike those examples.
There's a difference between will and insanity.
I will repeat, People used the cat-fu as a example of strong will, when it is not. I DID NOT used it as example of anything.
Jabba's resistance is becaue of his alien physiology, like Watto. Unless you want to claim that he's super-willed.
Mind Tricks work on the weak-willed. Ranma can project his will into an energy blast. Figure it out.
Exactly, The Force does not worked only on those like Jabba or Watto (Which was not because of the will power) and over those better users of the force , with stronger will (it works even over Yoda, After all Palpatine hides himself from Yoda).
Ranma is neither. He have a good willpower as an fighter, but there is no evidence he would be in any of those groups. So, the force works.
Rijk's the originator of RanmaFAQ, right? He made another error later when he assumed that the speed of one of Ranma's normal punches was about the same as that of a normal, untrained human being's.
I think it is arguable if the Gravity power would have the normal value as C.R uses in his calcs. But that would be all, and its acceptable, even if open to arguments then.
If I ignore the calcs ( I suppose you accept them, as done correctly, as you contest them as bad because the example used) to them assume Ranma is faster, lets say 6,7 times, then fine, He will break the threat area without much danger of a hit.
If I keep the calcs, then I assume Anakin can hit him when he come inside the threat area, before Ranma was able to come in close combat.
For know then, I will let this open to one future someone prove or not which is better, but for now, Your point is understood and accepted, and any extra argument here will have not to do with this topic, ok ? (For example, no need to argue with you about the block blaster stuff, as it would be only useful if the calcs are accepted fully]
He's a lot more skilled at making his opponents go into berserker rages just by talking to them, and Anakin tends to go into berserker charges when people seem to be casually beating him.
So does Ranma, they are actually very much similar, both very skilled, natural born martial artists, with a big ego, stubbornness…
But I think people are unfair with Anakin, we do not see that number of battles t osee him going in that rage, but with Dooku, as more skilled swordsman, not beating him casually, but because he was best.
Susceptible to things that Anakin can't possibly bring into the ring, especially not without foreknowledge.
There is no saying that he would know about cats and would pretend to make Ranma hear meows. The tricks can work other way , Just like Obi-wan’s “I do not want to fight, lets look the other side, etc”
Anakin's life was a lot less physically and emotionally demanding than the kind of crap that Ranma's been through, up until the death of his mother.
wait, he was a slave in planet of ruthless beings that even the empire avoided. His mother, his so loving one as you claim was abandoned there, died in his arms.
Ranma have not even been within this situation, he never had Nokoda or Akane death for real in his arms and his act when he thought she (akane) did was similar reaction to Anakin’s : He wanted to kill. They are very similar indeed.
Anakin was a very high strung padawan. If you even blinked "Padme" in morse code near him, he'd start tripping over his feet and spouting the lamest come on lines since Dante's "You remind me of my mother."
Wait, Ranma is no success around girls either, he is not even able to express the love, we all know, he feels.
But that is not the point, His mind is so powerful that he , even without training can already manipulate the force to have the big reflexes.
If he's close enough that he can get that swing off, he's too busy dodging Ranma's attacks or keeping his defense strong to even consider using the JMT cause he can have his face caved in the moment he starts concentrating on it.
no, the Mind trick would be used only if Ranma wanted to won by HSH for example, far away, Those attacks, to summon those energies are as fast as jedi tricks in my opinion.
Ranma *is* extremely good with his weapon.
Anakin is also. The difference is basically, Anakin is better. He will be better, the better will won.
then Anakin leaves about 50 holes in his defense whenever he fights.
That is very unfair, the fight with Dooku he does that, but against a superior foe in the same skill. Not what Ranma is.
He attacked both first and frenetically, this shows that he doesn't really care if it is useless or not and that Anakin likes also to atack first, he's reckless and arrogant, remember?
So, it is Ranma. Ranma is faster, he will attack first.
Muffin is food. Food is good. I am a Muffin. I am good.
