Perhaps it's simply a matter of semantics-- what I define as "hate", what others do... etc. The shaq/ kobe analogy is truly inspired by the way. :)
"Griffith No More!" said:"I was thinking I'd like to kill you."
Anyway, I think Serpico is realistic enough to know that Guts isn't the type of guy you just wound and he limps off. Griffith came to the same conclusion just before their final duel. Oh, and I think Serpico does hate Guts too, and it's mutual.
I don't think either care so much about "the children moral safety" not to kill each other in front of them. That certainly would not be the first killing that they see.Serpico said:While I think you are right about not stopping at a mere wound under normal circumstances, I don't think either intends to kill the other in front of the children. They have certainly had "killer intent" with each other in the past, but Guts is forgiving when things turn out ok, particularly to Serpico and Farnese who were sever pains in the ass to him for a good while.
SlimJ87D said:What I think would be smart of Guts is to smash like 10 or so pillars and stay withing that area. That way he'll be able to swing his sword freely. I dont know why, but I feel that Guts could beat him with just his fist alone...

I feel that the present Guts is twice as fast then he was here.
Serpico said:As for winning with just his fist, I think Serpico is too skilled and too clever to lose against that alone. He is quite agile and evasive as we saw on the ledge battle
Serpico said:Griffith vs Serpico would still be awesome provided Serpico at least has use of the wind cloak to bring his movement up to speed with griffith.
Serpico said:The full extent of Serpicos swordsmanship remains to be seen. I'd like to see Serpico fight Silat (thats his name right) now that you bring that up. Although its not his style we know Serpico has dead-eye aim for ranged weapons as well (thinks when he nailed and brought down a moving Guts with a twig) Hopefully he will go a couple rounds with Guts so we can really see what he's got. I think he will do better than Griffith becuase he recognizes Guts sword as the unstoppable force that it is, where Griffith made the mistake to try to parry it off. In Griffiths favor it was an honest mistake as that was pre-dragonslayer.
Serpico said:Twice as fast is probably pushing it unless you mean activating the berserker armor, cause he was already faster than Griffith at that point and he still has human limitations As for winning with just his fist, I think Serpico is too skilled and too clever to lose against that alone. He is quite agile and evasive as we saw on the ledge battle when Guts tossed a bomb at him. In the case of the circus fighter he was actually using short blades on his hands and feet and not a sword where he could keep his body away from Guts range.

(unrelated rambling)
Griffith vs Serpico would still be awesome provided Serpico at least has use of the wind cloak to bring his movement up to speed with griffith. I dont know his current vulnerability although i assume any human body is subject to harm, but he seems to have demonic speed at the very least when he saved Casca. He might need both swords though if Griffiths fencing has improved.
Aazealh said:We also saw that he lost to Guts with just his fists. ;) Moreover, I'm not sure that Serpico would be out of the Dragon Slayer's range, even using a sword such as his.
Griffith is in a totally different league, remember the Kushans shooting arrows at him? He could probably kill Serpico just by looking at him.
SlimJ87D said:Well the reason why I'm saying Gut's is twice as fast is because look at how large the dragon slayer is, I'm serious, compare it to his sword in my above post, his old sword is about 3 times larger then a normal sword and the dragonslayer is like 3 times larger then that.
Imagine how fast Guts can move without his Dragonslayer on his back or in one of his arms, He'd be able to run in while dodging the sword strikes and punch Serprico in the face with his metal arm that has a spring to smash his face in.
Griffith probably could have parried Gut's sword if Gut's wasn't as skilled as he was, but the reason why he couldn't is because Guts skill and swing was just too good, but to mention that the sword Guts was using wasn't like his other sword he killed 100 men with, maybe a Lil cheaper even.
And finally, don't forget this battle...

You think Serprico can cross blades with Zodd? And move that fast? I truly Believe that Guts is twice as fast as he was before the eclipse. If you're talking about human limitations, Gut's has passed them about lets say 29 mangas ago.
The arrows miss. Yes, it's actually that simple.Serpico said:For Griffith and the arrow thing, i dunno what he does there, either dodges them so fast no one can see or does some kinda phasing in and out of the astral realm so that it passes through him, which is my personal guess.

SlimJ87D said:I'm not bashing him, he's a good swordsman, really he is. But in this Manga, we're suppose to see Guts as the ultimate bad ass, and I'm keeping that in mind because I feel that Serprico is outta his league.
