Clear due to chi. Otherwise stop at WS

CW Arrow is too high. But Duo should clear regardless.

Either 9 or clear I think

Could lose against Bucky

Could lose against Cap

Lose against arrow

Clears

Clear.

Clear

Ollie solos the gauntlet including himself instead of them

Stops at 8 could possibly stop at 7

Yeah, I don't think Shang when not enhanced by Tao Lo is much better than Widow if at all. He's good, but not good enough to rank as high here as he does.

Thank you.

This. Without Chi, they don't have the physicals needed to put Barnes or Rogers down.

@shroudofsorrow:

Shang is most definitely above Widow in pure h2h. And quite frankly, it isn't even close. She would have difficulty with teen Shang, let alone adult.

The majority of her showings involve gear and weapons. If we are to strictly compare her unarmed combat feats against Shang's, she is decisively outmatched -- not only is he better by intent, but also by feats. The ninjas are not better because of choreography either, but because their scaling is superior. We know that the Ninjas were able to match and dominate the villagers of Tao Lo. Going by holistic intent, the villagers are the cream of the crop and were taught a martial arts style developed by the gods. So from that alone they're taught a mystical martial arts form for many years. On top of that, they have wind powers which amplifies their striking and allows them to manipulate their own movements:

Using wind power Shang as a baseline frame of reference for the villagers striking, he was able to knock Wenwu 20 feet into the air - and hard enough to the point where Wenwu had to rip into the ground to slow down his descent. He was able to completely avoid getting hit once in the bus scene against the 10 rings ninjas. Per the director's word, the space in the bus was very tight. So Shang was effectively able to avoid getting tagged in an extremely enclosed space while also strategizing a way to stop the bus. He was also able to creatively use his environment to out maneuver them and block. He also beat them again in the fight club scene under less favourable circumstances - given that they were armed with electrical weapons whereas he had none.

Full gear Ollie would beat these fools. Iron Fist doesn’t even have that great of reaction time, he had to hide from Harold and Davos was pinned down by Mary Walker when confronted by a gun. Same with Matt, he got headshotted by Punisher, and shot in the chest by fodder. Ollie, with full gear, dispatches them with arrows pretty quickly, mainly explosive and net/bola arrows.

They stop at Cap. The only thing they have that can threaten him is the IF, which the shield can turn against them to expedite their defeat.

Prime Matt and Prime/EoS Danny clear

They would make it to round seven and then Shang Chi would stomp..

Ez clear

Clear

@lightyagamigod2: How would he stomp? He doesn't have wind powers, the rings, or his dragon scale armor here. Plus, both of them individually are more skilled, and have better stats than him.

@jaylinfreeman: If they are fighting Shang collectively and at the same time and if Shang Chi doesn't have the rings, I could see them winning. However, individually, from the Shang Chi movie, I believe it is pretty clear that they Shang is superior in terms of skill.

Bump

Stops at 9. Possibly 8.
