Talk:Vergil vs. Sesshōmaru/@comment-25182985-20150616232232/@comment-5035900-20150617094104

You ever stop to think claims like "Vergil is Mach 300" could be greatly exaggerated?

First, let's look at a Death Battle combatant with a top speed of Mach 5: Metal Sonic. So Vergil is 60 times faster than Metal Sonic?

And even if the argument was made that "well of course he's slower in gameplay", what speed feats has Vergil shown that put him anywhere near Mach 300? Did he go from the tower to the other side of the globe in mere minutes? Did he move so fast after Lady blocked one of his swings that he emerged from behind her and slew her? Heck, have even his teleporting capablities shown him as going from ground level to the top of his tower in an instant?

Even with all looking over Devil May Cry 3 so many times, I never once found a single piece of evidence that put Vergil anywhere near Mach 300. He's fast on his blade work, he can run at a pretty decent speed, and his teleporting covers ground quickly and makes it difficult for foes to catch him, but how does that translate to Mach 300... let alone sub-sonic?

But now I'll wrap this up before I sound like I'm saying "you're wrong, I'm right" because I'm not; I'm just stating the observations on Vergil's speed that I made and which I had to make a call on. For me, at least, I found these Mach 300 claims to be great exaggerations of his actual speed and funny enough, I didn't actually see this battle coming down to speed; it came down to one-shots.

So let's all just agree to disagree, preferably respectfully.
