Kenshiro destroys his weapon with Nanto Seiken techniques and then taps Chang on the upper lip and puts him into a painless sleep because he's playing with the kid gloves.
KJS being able to choose Val is kind of ridiculous but that's the timeline we're in.
Roshi is very skillful and has a vastly superior range game to his name. Val has... well... all of his Val stuff. The equalisation of stats makes this a lot more contestable though. I'm leaning Val but there's an argument for Roshi here.
This is the hardest one to call for me in this round. Assuming that this is all hand-to-hand, Yeoui, Armour Suit and Gendouwon are off the table, that leaves Mori with just his raw Renewal Taekwon. However, he's also a skill monster so it's not like he can just do the straight fist fight thing. He's also demonstrated terrifying adaptability as well which won't make this fun for Sakaki. Sakaki is... perhaps... the more skilled of the two but the longer the fight goes on, the quicker that gap closes.
Question for Jcogg - where do we stand on Jaebongchim for enhancing stats? Mori is capable of multiplying his stats to achieve absurd levels just by tapping himself on the side of the head. Even if he is brought down to the comparatively weak and fragile Sakaki, he should still be able to amp himself to kick a hole in a city or something if he wants but I fear that might go against the spirit of the matches.
On the same note, for my own, match can Kenshiro use the many techniques at his disposal to augment his massively reduced stats?
Equalised speed and strength and no weapon for Jack leaves him without a great option for getting through Po's fat durability. I would back the Panda despite Jack being more skilled.
