can Pressure points work on those with Planet Buster strength levels

can Pressure Points works on those with Planet Buster physical Strength Levels?

if so, who're the weakest martial artists that can pressure points Planet Busters(must be in the physical sense of the term)

[Nik Hasta]

Kenshiro has stuff which is "pressure points," that completely bypasses durability. That particular stuff in his arsenal involves phasing through solid objects and chi manipulation so it's a very loose form of "pressure points,".

Now, could scale this to someone in the planet busting category? Unclear and would kind of depend on how the durability of the target works. Superman has an energy field that augments his natural durability as a result of his exposure to yellow sun rays, I don't think Kenshiro could bypass that for example.

Wonder Woman? Feels a lot more possible.

Also, Mantis did pressure points on... I want to say Thanos if memory serves...? I seem to recall he might have been faking but it's been a long time since that came up.

Wolverine using Strontian pressure points to drop Kid Gladiator feels like its a few dozen bridges too far, especially since he wasn't channeling the Phoenix Force, or wearing a specialized Iron Man suit, or standing in some sort of anti-Strontian radiation field, etc... at the time. Especially since Wolverine's normal modus operendi is to make his own pressure points via his claws, so it doesn't seem like it fits the general portrayal of his specialties.

The Toriko cast's Knocking technique is technically explained as being based around paralytic pressure points and they can use it on high end Class 100s like one another just fine, though I still don't really understand how that fits in with how the premier knocking specialist managed to use Knocking on their entire Jupiter-sized planet with one punch, to the point where waves also froze in place for a short period.

I mean, Jiro also stopped time with a pressure point.

I would say yes, but it really, really depends on the relative oomphed out wackiness of the martial artist/martial arts involved.

Mantis (in the past)



Against Wonder Man



Thor and Vision

[Beadle]

Normally I’d point out that neither Simon or Vision have planet-busting strength, but both are kinda more durable than their strength, so... bleh.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Would Vision really have pressure points, seeing as he's a very advanced robot an all?

He has cried in the past so I guess it's possible. Still a bit weird.

[Beadle]

Remember when Marvel used to keep correcting that statement. “No, Vision’s not a robot. He’s a synthezoid.”?

Good times.

[Shellhead]

I like Steve Englehart's writing, but he often trampled power levels for the sake of story. Most of the members of the original Zodiac Cartel were non-superhuman criminals using a bit of technology to simulate some powers, but kept recovering surprisingly quickly from hits by Iron Man, Thor, and Vision. Any one of those three heroes should have been able to solo the Zodiac in a straight fight.

[Pendaran]

To be fair, the particular school of martial arts Mantis is using has let its other practitioners do things like travel through time or hit the ground and make magma come up. The idea that she's channeling some martial arts nonsense is not exactly out there.
