1.)Ok. I read them. You yourself just said it's gameplay mechanics which doesn't always have an affect on the character, but since you want to play it that way, here's a calc on Strider's speed: "In order to better understand Hiryu's speed I've done some calculations based upon Strider and discovered that he can not only dodge a bullet from point blank, He can outrun it. Hiryu traveled a total of rougly 255,798 miles (Kazakhstan to Siberia: 1,549 Miles/Siberia To Balrog flying above Indonesia's Banda Sea: 4,339 miles/Balrog to Amazon (Brazil): 11,010 miles/Amazon to Third Moon Space headquarters: 238,900 miles) and Hiryu completed his mission in a day so 255,798 by 24 hours means he would have to be traveling at 10,658 MPH to accomplish that. The fastest bullet in the world is the .223 which can reach speeds of 4,000 FPS or 2,700 MPH so Hiryu is traveling almost 4 times faster. Note that this is some rough calculating and may not be his exact speed but it helps to better understand his abilities, but it doesn't stop there. At the end of Strider as Hiryu leaves the Third Moon he performs a aberration: [http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViLCtrT8BaQ www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViLCtr… (skip to 0:28) allowing him to move faster than light on his glider at 0.9999999999999994c. Here's a brief explanation on aberrations: ]math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics…"

2.)Can we just agree that they counter each other since they both are known to cut through almost anything? These are pretty much the two main things that affect this fight
