The same strength that rocked one of Erion's castles, sent Samus sky-high, and knocked the chip off a giant's shoulder cannoned into James' helmet uncontested.  Rather than attempt to intercept the blow, the soldier threw out an elbow as a repartee, but the speed and reach of Slayer's arm meant that he'd more than likely connect first.  The full force of Slayer's Pile Bunker -powered by strength more than twice as great as the Nightstalker's defense- would almost certainly connect during James' attempted counterattack, resulting in a Counter Hit while preventing the shorter-ranged attack from reaching, and lead into a wallbounce against the arena fence.  That is, if the gentleman's memory served.  Still, a nagging suspicion throbbed in the backmost reaches of his mind.  Under normal circumstances, Slayer was in absolute control of situations like these, making confidence a complete non-issue.  Since leaving his own world, however, the vampire had come to grips with things being rather different.  This exchange would be over in but an instant, and in his moment of lucidity following his strike, Slayer felt more curious than anything.
