Since Adam's short came out, why not make this thread between two skilled swordfighters (I know Adam is usually superior in stats than Bradley, so just to be safe I want this as stats equalized.)

• Bloodlusted


• Basic Knowledge


• Location is on top of a train moving at 150 MPH
  


• Bradley can use his Ultimate Eye, Adam can use his semblance.


• Both have one sword


• Winner by death only.


• Who is the better Swordsman?

The slash attack Adam did in the new RWBY promo looks like it can do serious damage to Bradley if it’s done more than once.

I think Adam is much to used to utilizing his stat advantages rather than upholding his skill advantages when fighting opponents.

Bradley stomps

Adam needs a solid feat beating someone worthy in their prime. I hear alotof people say he first wing against Yang and Black was only due to them being so tired so as of now he hasn't beaten a single noteworthy person while Bradley only lost to scar because of a really lucky break and was implied he could take on both Elric Brothers if it came down to it.

However I beleive Adam has a better chance because of Aura, due to it he can take alot of blows that would be fatal while Bradley can and might be one shotted or at the very least severly damaged and lose alot of blood and or limb.

And how is that? Adam can one shot regardless of stats being equal with his sword, meanwhile Adam's aura would protect him from some of Bradley's attacks.

Don't know how strong Bradley is without his stats tbh.

Same thing with Bradley....

@thewatcherking: Have you actually watched FMA:B?

@thewatcherking: Watch this, Bradley’s first combat showing. He has the Ultimate Eye, which allows him to track his enemies movements and exploit weaknesses. He goes the whole series without being seriously wounded until the finale, and he’s only beaten by pure luck.

If it's true, then Greed has the hardest skin out of the homunculus. Which means he has harder skin than Sloth who takes Tank rounds and shrugs them off.

@faradaysloth: That’s only with the Ultimate Shield

If it weren't for stats being equalised Adam would blitzstomp.

As it is even if Bradley is marginally more skilled Adam can tank plasma cannon blasts. Bradley isn't hurting him.

@jacthripper: Yes, I know.

@jacthripper: while Bradley was massively impressive I don't think that translates to this fight.

Bradley didn't have that many 1v1 fights and those he did were against people like the first greed who underestimated and fought like a idiot. And lings crew who he massively out stats

Your right. He didn't usually fight 1v1. He usually fought more than one person at a time and still didn't even get touched. In his last fight, against Scar (who literally needs to touch him to kill him) despite being previously wounded (shot in the abdomen and cut), he still defeats him, only to be blinded by plot, allowing Scar to finally touch him. Even still, he caught his broken sword blade with his teeth and grievously wounded Scar while his internal organs have been destroyed.

Adam lacks feats to say that he can even tag Bradley.

You mean skill feats or speed feats because again, Bradley was a beast but a huge part of that came from the fact he was faster than anyone else in the show and was clearly depicted as even faster than the like of Ed and Scar, where the speed is equalized so neither has a clear advantage.

Now if you mean skill I can understand that and like I said earlier Adam doesn't have any real skill feats in a 1v1 setting without they're being something plot related and the one he does was kind of lackluster.

I stand by the fact that Adam can beat Bradley due to Aura, His Aura at the very least will save him from any fatal injuries at the start of the fight, an ability Bradley can't fall back on, I'm not saying Bradley isn't impressive but as skilled as he was it was very clear his speed was too much for every single character he fought, an advantage he does not have here.
