You also posted it WAY back before if I remember correctly.that never happened >.>
it's all your imagination. lol
heres a good, but simple question: who has better reach?
That sounds like it.So . . . Ganon's sword has "fencing" abilities that allow Ganon to get in close to fend off Bowser's claws and go in for the kill with a swift thrust?
Or no?
Not important.The reason he can beat the size advantage is this, Bowser's stance is usually slouching, which makes him lose a bit of height, then there is the fact Bowser appears as though he is slightly hunched over. This makes him lose a bit more height.
Good, good.Then comes the fact Ganon can hold his Zwéihander-like sword by the blade, and due to the shape of the forté of the hilt, it can be used thusly as a polearm-type weapon, like a concussive-version of the Halberd lance. When Ganondorf holds that sword of his by the blade close to the tip, when you add together his head plus the overall length of his arms up to the point of his hands, the weapon's total height becomes around 19 feet-20 feet in total. As such, Ganondorf is now outfitted with a longe range, concussive weapon.
Too situational, but on the right track.Because of this, Ganon can accelerate himself from a distance and try to aim for right between Bowser's eyes for a successful strike against Bowser's skull. If he can accelerate up to top speed, the amount of force from the 15-pound mass of the sword, plus the weight Ganondorf puts into running to accelerate, plus the overall acceleration, makes the force focused on the club-like hilt-tip capable of massive physical damage. He could do that or running then throwing the sword hilt-frist or blade first. Like a javelin; the javelin is categorized as a polearm weapon The force produce by this is extreme because of the added momentum from Ganon's aforementioned acceleration.
Crack the skull, definitely, piercing is possible, but that's not necessarily, a more general vulnerability.It would be more than enough to crack or pierce Bowser's skull, or with the blade-end any part of his body.
Bowser will be able to insta-kill Ganondorf too. Ganondorf will just be able to get the strike in first.The sword Ganondorf uses has a double use of, as it says, crudely "stopping a calvary charge". This is also because the sword's design shows it is more effective at stabbing or thrusting due to it's long length. Its like a giant spear. So the sword is really three weapon-types in one. A slashing, thrusting, and concussive weapon in one.
Look at Bowser's Claws again. They are made of bone, not steel, they do not have the hardness nor sharpness to pierce Ganondorf's plate armor. As such, Bowser cannot so much gore him as he can make him reel from the impact.
One of the main points. +1Bowser moves slower than Ganon by longer. Bowser's legs are too short to make long strides, and the rate at which they would be able to cycle would be lower than Ganondorf's. Thus Ganondorf has the higher potential speed.
You're missing one thing, concentrate on concussive force and the nature of turtle evolution.Ganondorf wins because his weapon has multiple uses, and because he can produce the needed force and velocity via acceleration over time to deliver a killing bow to Bowser.
He can (A.) Run then throw the sword like a Javelin, aiming for between the eyes, just above his chest, either arm, either leg, his snout, either eye, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
(B.) He can use the sword as a blunt pole-arm via holding the sword by the blade, the smash it against Bowser's temple, killing him, or cause great pain and concussive damage by striking the ribcage near his heart. If he uses the polearm from behind, he can also use it create concussive damage to Bowser's back and spine.
(C.) He can also charge Bowser and use the sword like a lance, charging at top human foot speed by the time he reaches Bowser, which is 25 MPH. This force plus the sharp blade of the sword can pierce Bowser's skin, his belly, his heart and lung, plus the Koopa version of the carotid artery.
I am sorry to say this but...
GGs Bowser.
well obviously.If he lands on the back of his shell he's ****ed.
what, are my measurements wrong then?"little one their are mistakes in your battle strategy"
JOE your math is wrong, Ganondorf's sword is easily 6+ft
that's 10 ft.
and even if Bowser if is 13 ft the his arm length is not 9ft. which he isn't, he's 9'3"
all wrong, all wrong...
It might come up in later Bowser match-ups, not to this degree though, Ganondorf is particularly adept at using this... Ganondorf match-ups however...Wait, Adumb, will this effect only Ganon vs. Bowser?
Because if it's the size of Ganons sword, then I don't see why you couldn't have said at the Bowser v. Ganon? (I know you're doing it know, but you know what I mean, right?.
When I asked you for the answer you said that I can ask you next time Bowser goes against someone right? So wouldn't this also affect Bowser?
EDIT: Forget it, I read his VM wrong -_-
Stop looking at paper mario.oops, yeah, Ganon's reach is a bit over 9 feet
bowser's is only a smidge longer due to his claws
also, what would happen if bowser smacks teh sword? wouldnt taht impact mess up ganon's hand/arm?
In paper mario,bowser stole mario's weapons by smacking him....paper mario?
where did that come into play?
still wrong, synopsis coming soon.oops, yeah, Ganon's reach is a bit over 9 feet
bowser's is only a smidge longer due to his claws
also, what would happen if bowser smacks teh sword? wouldnt taht impact mess up ganon's hand/arm?
The man speaks the truth.Adumbrodeus said:Mobility and intelligence cause Ganondorf to get the first hit the majority of the time.
The sheath.Still waiting for people to put the final pieces in place.
I said it's inert, it has nothing to do with it.@UncleSam: I haven't finished yet, but isn't the triforce of power....magic >_>
