User blog comment:Wassboss/The Extraordinary Human Doughnut!: Koichi Hirose vs Noriaki Kakyoin/@comment-17814994-20161227150100

Elgb's "Strands huh? Man How I Miss the Good Ol Days of Hamon :(" EDGES!!!

Ability #1: Although a sonic attack is unblockable and has more power to stun and make your opponents submit, Hirose's act can only go 50 meters while Kakyoin can go as far as 100 meters. The latter's coil abilities also has more uses in battle such as the ability to wrap and immobolize and attack opponents, or act as small detection devices. EDGE: Kakyoin

Ability #2: I was interested in the Echo Act 2's matter manipulation ability, but it seems that it needs to get teally clsoe to be effective. Thankfully Hirose's sonic abilities can assist Hirose perform it. But the Emerald Blast is packing more range and actual no BS power in this fight. And what makes it even more deadly is taht it can fire in a 360 degree radius, making it more difficult to dodge. EDGE: Kakyoin

Ability #3: Echoes Act #3 is sueful to keep pure melee opponents at bay, though I don't think it'll help much against Kakyoi's farther ranged attacks. Marionette is an effective way to finish the battle, especially when up against a puny punk like Hirose, but Kakyoin still needs stealth or misdrection to use it. EDGE: Even

Deadliest Warrior?

A little disclaimer though. I'm only inversed with Joseph's Adventures when JJBA is being talked about, and even in that I'm not that well knowledgeable. So sorry if my vote is not that accurate. But as what I can see in both character's powers and biography, I think that Noriaki Kakyoin has the edge here. He's got better and more powerful range of attacks for his Strand, and he takes the majority of x-factors from experiece, physicality and burality. Sorry Hirose, but your chances of beating Kakyoin is... short.
