[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.

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.

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!!!

Thanks for the doctorial thesis.

Nah, thats more of what I see in my head if anything. I just think too much and see stuff like this as numbers.

If we're talking about a fist fight, between a bigger guy and a smaller guy...then it depends on fighting skill rather than power/speed. I've seen tons of small guys whoop bigger guys' asses just because they were better fighters.

In other things, like games, I prefer speed but more power usually wins. All depends though.

average strength + average speed = best combo

I am assuming this thread is about fighting games, since I doubt too many of us have experiance in watching street brawls and prize fights.

The best example I can think of is in JKII. I played no force power duels all the time and only used the power attack lightsaber setting. I would always wait for just the right moment after a few of their quick attacks cut me up a bit to swing the big sidelong chop of doom. More often then not I would own the quick little bastards like this. So I liked Strong/slow, but that was because I found I could use it more effectively then I cound the other styles, not because it was better. I think that game had very good balance.

The winner will be the one who knows his style best and can use it well against any other style.

Skunk -

Strong = 3
Quick = 3
Slow = 1
Weak = 1
Average = 2

3+1=4
2+2=4
1+3=4

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.
