Hey, apart from the eternal Goku v.s. Superman v.s. One Punch Man, what are Holla Forums's thoughts on other good matchups between comic and manga characters?
And how would you rate various characters? I'd rate Hanma Yujiro at about Beast's strength, compared to Biscuit Oliva, who I'd rate Kingpin level, maybe more. Like Kingpin on Super Soldier serum. But Yujiro, with his mutant freak ogre back muscles would be like The Beast with Shang Chi's fighting ability. And Dr. Doom's temperament.
Baki could probably keep up with Spider-Man in a fight. I've remarked before that Spidey is pure ability and no training, and that only his speed and strength and reflexes make up for his horrid form. Observe what a hard time he has with Daredevil and Kingpin.
Kenshiro is hard to quantify. I know we were given rough stats for his strength and stamina, but he can basically kill anyone if he can reach their pressure points, maybe even puppet-walk them or take control of their powers, if their biology is human. In one story we even saw that he doesn't need to touch you, firing mini-hadoukens from his fingertips to hit the same dim mak points.
I've got no idea on mid-range monsters like Pickle or Riki-Oh. Does anyone recall their greatest feats, strength-wise? Pickle also seems to have a Taskmaster-like ability to mimic martial arts.
I'd love to see write-ups for Devil-Man, Guyver, Sailor Moon, Guts, Alita, Naruto etc, like the Marvel & D.C. rpg's, just to see how they'd measure up against Thor, Conan, She-Hulk, Thing, Hulk, Iron Fist, etc.

I guess one big difference is often superheroes are gifted with power, while animu heroes have to train for it. So they often have greater control of their abilities, and more power feats, but have to actually concentrate for them to work.
Alita's abilities vary wildly from body to body. Her original body wasn't designed for combat, but I think she could at least fight Ghost Rider to a standstill just from sheer martial ability. God help her if she gets a taste of the Penance Stare, though, she is literally the worst person in the Solar System, even if she doesn't remember. The Imaginos body from the first draft of the end was ridonk OP, though, she was like a human railgun bullet, like Wally West in Mary Sue mode.
Stand users are a strange one. Aren't stands invisible to normal humans? I guess you'd have to be Doctor Strange, or Rom to see them. The Hulk could probably see them just fine, it's been established that he can see ghosts.
