Captain America vs Taskmaster

vs

Round 1: Pure hand-to-hand combat. No weapons,shield etc.

Round 2: Captain America has his shield. Taskmaster has his shield and his sword.

Round 3: UDON Taskmaster. Captain has his shield and a desert eagle with two clips.

This is Steve Rogers.

Fight in a dojo.

Round 1: Taskmaster

Round 2: Taskmaster

Round 3: Taskmaster

If he's not jobbering, I see no reason for him to lose.

I think Cap can take rounds 1 and 2.

IMO, UDON Taskmaster would take him though.

I can see Taskmaster losing only round 1 in a close because of his limited physicality and win the rest as he has better showings with his gear.

@don_quixote: UDON changes nothing but his gear. Taskmaster has already saved Caps and others moves. He did pretty good while fighting Bucky & Cap at the same time, too.

I don't see him losing, unless he's too cocky, for his own good. Although, he may lose round 1 due to physicals, but I can still see him taking round 1.

Cap with his shield is no joke.

He would definatelly give Taskmaster a bloody fight.

I think Cap can take round 1 too.

Biker Hitler ftw

UDON's a great upgrade to Tony. He can generate any weapons he thinks of.

Bucky stalemated him in the end.Though it's pretty impressive fir him.

I think Cap takes round 1,definatelly and Taskmaster takes round 3 definatelly. About round 2, I am not so sure.

Tony Jobbermaster accidentally bashes his face with Steve's shield.

@don_quixote: UDON was impressive, but even with normal gear, Taskmaster should take Cap down. He has saved data from Daredevil, all the way to Iron Fist. He's much more skilled than Cap, and is going to be extremely hard to counter.

If Taskmaster gets desperate, he can also use double time.

I really think he can take all rounds.

That's not how his jobber works. Tony sits around gloating how he's perfect, then gets humiliated.

Do you think he can copy other characters jobber?

Knowing someone's moves doesn't make you better than them. Because Taskmaster knows Cap's moves doesn't make him as skilled as him. Knowing more moves than the other doesn't always make you a better fighter.That didn't help him in his fight with Elektra. Quality over Quantity always.

I am definatelly sure he loses round 1 and beats round 3.

@don_quixote: I'm don't think I'll be changing my mind.

That still doesn't change the fact that Taskmaster will be able to predict almost everything he does next.

I'm still confident he'll take all 3 rounds.

Why Cap isn't in that outfit in his current look is beyond. I remember reading mini series thinking that.

I honestly think Cap wins all 3 rounds giving his better battle intellect. Now if all 3 rounds were cap first meeting taskmaster than tasky would take some of those rounds

@wolverine08: In other words.. SHIELD, TO THA FACE!

YESSIR!

I think you are overestimating Taskmaster.

Since when does Taskmaster have precog?

This outfit is from Captain America: Living Legend series.

@don_quixote: He's always been able to predict other peoples moves. Nothing new there.

UDON Taskmaster is just Taskmaster with better gear you're aware? It's not like an alternate version or anything.

You mean copy their moves. Learning their styles. Analyzing their fighting ability,

But not predicting.

@teerack: It's not just better gear.

He can generate any gear he wants.

@don_quixote: He's been able to understand and predict others, just by watching them walk. He's done this before. Not to mention Taskmaster has always known Captain America's style.

Yeah I know that. I wasn't being specific about it, but it is still better gear. I wish they didn't backslide him out of his UDON design.

Scans of Taskmaster displaying precog?

As I said, knowing someone's moves doesn't make Taskmaster equally skilled to him.

The UDON suit is just so much cooler than the silly pirate boots and cape sh!t.

@don_quixote:

He's mastered Iron Fist's style, uses Daredevil's, Spider-man's, and Captain America's styles frequently. Just by sparing with the person, he understands how they fight, and has been able to predict what they do next. He's done this to Spiderman a few times, though I don't have the scans. He's also been shown to be able to mix fighting styles together.

That scan doesn't show precog. He just knows TM's style.

And even if you are right, then why does he lose frequently to people who knows their style?

Cap is more skilled IMO and has better feats. Taskmaster has a tendency to get cocky and lazy in most of his fights.

@don_quixote: He's a massive jobber, that's why.

You're still acting like Taskmaster is a bad fighter, even though he's held his own against Cap & Bucky at the same time.

Taskmaster will be predicting Cap's skills in no time.

Also, I found the Spider-Man scan, showing how he can anticipate his opponents moves.

On a sidenote, I don't the the creator of the battle is allowed to have a winner in mind.

@don_quixote: Taskmaster literally said,

It doesn't need to be precog, it shows he can anticipate others attacks, once he hass read them. Taskmaster could also use double time if he gets in a tight situation.

I'm still backing Tony for all 3.

Anticipation <> Precog. I 'm sure that's not what he meant.

The double time thing has only been used once against Mister Isley who is pretty much featless. Anyway, he can't do this for long. Cap's enhanced durability gives him the edge over it, I think.

@don_quixote: He literally said, "whatever I can't duplicate, I can anticipate!"

Also, the feat was pretty good, since he blitzed Isley, who was able to easily catch a bullet.

I'm still backing Taskmaster.

Never said it was unimpressive.

Mr. Isley is still nowhere near Cap in terms of skill.

@don_quixote: I wasn't talking about skill, I was talking about speed. Skill doesn't change the fact that Isley easily caught a bullet, and then got blitzed by Taskmaster.

You've done nothing to change my mind; I'm starting to sound like a broken record player, now.

Taskmaster all 3.

Ultimate Shang-Chi also caught a bullet. Still not faster than Cap.

And you've done nothing to change mine.

I don't think he takes all 3.

I can see this happening.

Taskmaster all three.

@don_quixote: I was never looking to change your mind.

I still think Cap's better in h2h.

Round 1 cap has a chance do to him being better than taskmaster physicaly, but the last two rounds taskmaster takes it

Bump for round 1...

Come on guys..... Some opinions please? I wanna create a list of martial artists.

Who's better in h2h? Cap or Taskmaster?

Tony

Definently taskmaster. Caps main edge here is physicals.

@highaccuser: Are you completely sure?

Why do you say that?

For one thing Tony already fought evenly with Cap and Bucky at the same time. His skill feats frankly outclass Caps for the most part(fighting Spider-Man, beating elektra with his eyes closed, beating agent venom, holding off Iron Man, one-shotting giants,etc.) I find judging Caps actual skill hard due to his physicals backing them up.

I don't recall him fighting them evenly.He only stalemated Bucky. The team was dominating him. I recall Cap hitting him with the knee in the stomach. He could have finished him there.

Cap has also stalemated Spider-Man before. He even got the upper hand against him in Civil War.

He even had the Iron Spider suit.

Cap would have also beaten Elektra even easier.Not to mention Elektra beat Taskmaster the second time.

Cap has stalemated Iron Man before.

Beating Venom is a good feat, but we have to mention that Venom was a mindless dumb in this fight.

And what do you mean by PHYSICALS? Cap is peak human. He is not enhanced or something. So is Taskmaster, Daredevil etc. He might be stronger than Tasky, but not by much.

@don_quixote: I'm gonna gloss over most of that because I don't know a lot here.

And what do you mean by PHYSICALS? Cap is peak human. He is not enhanced or something. So is Taskmaster, Daredevil etc. He might be stronger than Tasky, but not by much.

No, it's been outright stated Cap is above peak human by multiple writers. The comics have identified him as enhanced and he's noted his superhuman reflexes before, not to mention he's matched Black Panther who's much more clearly Superhuman.

Cap round 1 purely through his physical advantage. Tasky is only Olympic level in most stats even though he has peak human feats. Cap is still vastly stronger than him, has better durability, and better endurance. Taskmaster has the skill set and versatility to win rounds 2 and 3.
