@cerberus369616: Hey buddy, list kenshins absolute best feat and im dead serious that vergils feat of catching dantes bullets with the tip of his sword, holding thr bullets sideways on his blade for a few moments then placing them on the ground perfectly truimps every feat kenshin has.
oh and remember stats equalized means kenshins speed is equal. Do not pull out a speed feat like DeathHero has done.
catching a Sword with nothing but his bare hands.
in the manga it was stated that out of over 500 schools of kenjutsu(the art of swordsmanship, or combat with a sword) there is only 1 single move designed to catch a sword bare handed. and its not even apart of the line of teachings that kenshin was taught and trained with.
not only was ken shin already wounded, not only was going against a opponent with a shortened wakizashi sword, which was basicly faster then a normal katana,not only was he mid Combat, but he used a move he's never used before, that he was never formally taught but he perfectly straight up caught the sword, barehanded, and nearly broke the guys throat with it. and this was an opponent, who up until this moment, has a massive speed and defensive advantage on kenshin.
but thats just one flashy move. mid-battle Kenshin was able to analyze his opponents fighting style(same guy with the shortened wakazashi) and figuring out that the extra reach of his katana, while normally a good thing defensively to keep opponents at a distance, was basicly preventing him from breaking through his enemies defenses(because of the smaller wakazashi, he's able to defend faster at a shorter distance, keeping ken shin from getting past his guard, but allowing him to counter attack easier and quicker)
mid battle, he figured this out, and without betraying his movements, shifted his grip from the handle of the blade, to the actual blade itself, making sure to keep grab on the most blunt section, but still reducing the size enough to close the gap and land a throat hit.
while this doesn't sound like much, keep in mind, with samurai, you were so used to fighting with a balanced blade, the blades are usually always made to have a perfect balance at the handle/hilt, even going up 5-7 inches like he did throws the entire balance of the sword off completely(on top of being a backwards blade as it is). he was able to analyze the battle, Figure out a strategy. implement the strategy
Basicly, by doing this with the blade, he was able to get his body within reach to land a near fatal blow, without his opponent even knowing it, as the tip of his blade never got any closer.
also keep in mind, he did this:
and these are just a few things from literally just a few chapters of a whole series, and these are not even close to the most impressive. these are just a few examples of his skill (with the last being a strength feat showing the skill he has throwing around his power, which again is only peak human)
dante/vergil/ETC are impressive, but messing with bullets is not as impressive when you have the level of speed they do.
its honestly easy to do that type of stuff with bullets when you casual fighting speed is above the high-supersonics-hyper sonic.
thats like saying that it would be impressive that Quicksilver Can line up the bullets, when he can literally move so fast that he can pick the bullets out of the air. doesn't make him more "skilled" but just fast enough to easily react to and maneuver around them.
with that being said, again, i dont see any body in DC or Marvel who can replicate feats that kenshin can do, after removing their speed/strength or bringing it down to peak human/kenshins level. for me, one of the most impressive parts of kenshins skill is, as far s speed goes, a lot of his opponents ARE faster then him to begin with. he's just that skilled, that he finds and uses ways to get around, react to or bypass their speed and use it to his advantage.
