What I have been doing, is giving you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Auzs speed. Regardless of the end numbers, I have been seceeding that Auz is slightly faster. Any stat that o threw down was in comparison to yours and the equations I was using. When those changed, so did the others. Right now that puts them at an almost undeniably equal point. With Auz being faster but Xavier being stronger. All I'm doing is using that strength to my advantage.

Also, Xavier has only the one life in comparison to Auzs 8. So everything he has and everything he does is just to stay alive in a fight. You knew what you were getting into and chose a character that can be on par with him at his strongest.

As far as strength, Xavier has always been superior to Auz even in his current state. 

That being said, the sword attack at the end would be defended by much more than a "layer" of metal. It would focus at the impact zone in a bulb to force the blade to cut through it before hitting Xavier. Ontop of the metallic sheet that I plan yo have spring from his right pectoral. 

My metal has always been special in that I can put several charges of defense into it to draw on an incredible defense at whim.

I have never argued how you defended or even initiated your attack. You'll remember that my problem was in you writing as though there was no other option. And I came here to put our power levels into perspective. To let you know that while an effective strategy, theres always a chance for it to fail or lose effectiveness.
