Talk:Nightmare VS Guts/@comment-26235492-20150403020555/@comment-73.34.142.98-20150403044702

On Nksjtoa's comment about Nightmare being arrogant and underestimating his opponents. The entity known as Nightmare lacks the personality traits to be considered arrogant. He probably doesn't know what arrogant means. I believe Nightmare learns from his defeats. He defeated Raphael in Soul Calibur II and lost because of Siegfried fighting to reclaim his body and Raphael piercing the eye of Soul Edge that allowed Siegfried to regain control of his body. After which he took Soul Calibur and pierced Soul Edge with it, nullifying both swords but not destroying Soul Edge. We know what happens after that. I believe Nightmare will be the likely winner because he feeds off of strong souls and evil energy which both Guts' Berserker Armor and Hellhound are cursed plus Guts has no defense against magic, something that Soul Edge is. In addition to it, the Berserker Armor frees Guts' muscles and amplifies his strength but at the risk of losing sanity and suffering permanent damage to his body and Hellhound is Guts' darkness personified and an independent being that hates Guts. I think it'd be attracted to the evil power Soul Edge radiates.

The battle would be long and brutal but during the course of it Soul Edge would be feeding off of Guts' negative emotions, namely his rage and bloodlust that he struggles to keep in check. Nightmare may not have the same feats as Guts but he can match or circumvent in his own right. It's funny how most people know about Guts but nothing about the Azure Knight.

He are some of his feats of his own: He nearly restored Soul Edge twice, lived since ancient times as Soul Edge and learned the fighting style of each host and opponent, defeated Raphael in Soul Calibur II and most likely kill him had Siegfried not struggle to reclaim his sanity, possessed Siegfried in his sleep even after being severely weakened after the battle with the spirit sword during the events of Soul Calibur I, destroyed an entire army of normal knights on his own, creates nuke stat explosions in the intro movie of Soul Calibur III and sort of in the game. We'll find out next week. I'm rooting for the underdog, Nightmare because it'd cause people to thing twice about imaging Guts as some invincible human because he's not. His body is human and can only take so much punishment before it breaks.
