[Classic Fight]Slow/Stong vs. Quick/Weak

[Biohazzard56]

This is a classic fight, discuss.

[Incompetent]

Strong/Slow will typically win when skill is equal imho, luck favors them, but quick/weak will put up a damn good fight most of the time.

[Ouroboros]

Are we talking just throwing punches, or do either have any martial arts or unarmed combat training?

[Incompetent]

I think we're talking about the concept in general.

[Derfud]

I personally prefer Faster, but weaker, because 1 shot kills snipers piss me off. Plus more attacks can sometimes completely interrupt a strong and heavy attack.

[Zenny]

I prefer quick soft attacks easily.

With big slow attacks, if you miss you reap the consequences. But with slow and fast strikes its more of a barrage that can make up for a strong's miss. I mean sure these fast attacks it opens up for misses which avoidable with skill.

Take it like this.
For every attack (A) gets (B) gets two in.
(A) hits twice the damage over (B).
Both (A) and (B) will miss once.

(A) hits 10... 10... Miss... 10... = 30
(B) hits 5... 5... 5... Miss... 5... 5... 5... 5... = 35

I'm kind of very analytical and like to take it down to efficency and thats why I always go with the swift weak guys. Besides the big slow ones are a noobs #1 choice. OMGZ I 1 SHOTZERD YUZ!1!!!

You forget one thing- hit points. If I hit you twice for 10, that's 20, to your lesser amount. If you're weak, then you can't take that much damage (theoretically). You won't have staying power, you'll begin to be worn down. You assume that your weaker person can stand/survive that long.

This is why TR's weapons are the shittiest. Damage over time only works when you can make constant shots and wear them down- whereas up close where fighting is done, the heavy hitters will kick your ass.

[I Hate Pants]

Were you taking a shit or something when you thought up this poll?

I mean.... come on!

EDIT: I actually I didn't see the poll about "which would hurt more".

I have a feeling people are gonna vote quick/ weak just to stick up for the little guy.

Big&Slow

[worldvengence]

Slow/Strong...works well...heavy punch to the sternum...that fucker aint going anywhere... Tested and proven by me!

[Dharkbayne]

Fuck fistfighting. Real men stab.

[MilitantB0B]

In video games? Quick/weak, do to the miss/hit thing mentioned prviously.

In real life? Strong/slow, cause the more damage you do upfront (ie the first punch) possibly taking the oppenent out, or hampering their ability to fight right off the bat.

This is assuming equal skill though.

[scarpas]

ok, my view is that you dont need to be either, as long as you have a bigger gun than the other guy
