@i_like_swords: morals off tho.. And no prep time. Morals off Deadpool is a serious one I suppose so this is sorta even.
Deadpool serious or not is just as skilled as Slade and Wolverine. What affects the fight is the fact that Slade has that insanely durable armor, and Wolverine is adamantium. Deadpool has a skin tight suit, steel katanas and guns...
No he isn't. Show me when Deadpol has shown the raw technique to incapacitate/kill every single thing that "walks, flies, slithers", knows every martial art on the planet, has been trained by people like the level 7/7 faster Ogun, Kung Fu master Ogun, the Hand Leader Stick, Silver Samurai, Shang Chi, and more. Wade isn't as skilled as James.
He is underrated as a fighter though.
People say Cap isn't as skilled as Batman because he hasn't "mastered every martial art" like Batman. Then there are others (including you, I think) who say that it doesn't matter about training/experience/knowledge - it's about on panel feats and how characters actually perform in a fight.
So having said that, I think it's fair enough to apply the same logic to Deadpool. He's given Wolverine great fights on numerous occasions as well as others like Taskmaster and Batroc the Leaper.
Captain America's skill feats aren't even as impressive as Batman's to begin with so it isn't even very consequential to trying to make it an argument that Steve is as skilled as Batman. Training, showings of raw technical skill, and overall martial art knowledge are just as important to determining skill. You need to have a good mix of all to when trying to prove your skill. And when you factor all those things, Deadpool isn't as skilled as Wolverine just like Captain America isn't as skilled as Batman.
Even looking at on panel feats supports the idea that Wolverine is superior in skill to Deadpool. Whereas Wade has never beaten Wolverine in a straight up fight without Wolverine being hindered in some fashion or Deadpool coming in with prep, Wolverine has a legit one on one win against Deadpool when he walked up on him in a Hydra Base and dropped him after a short exchange. Then when you compare feats against other top tier fighters, Wade isn't as good as James.
Wow i remember having a huge argument with you on this subject.
