Sabata is one of those guys that you don’t want to underestimate. With a good slash he can do some major damage. Of course Protoman has the big edge in speed. He’s much faster than Mach 5 and has been shown to keep up with guys like Megaman! Now that’s pretty impressive. Protoman wins.

I don’t think Sabata ever did any slashing with a sword. I think that’s just the artist’s idea.
Play Boktai, and then re-evaluate him.
Ah well. Swords are ftw. I plan to play them at some point, but I never see them at Gamestop. If I have too, there’s amazon, but gamestop is preferable since it’s only about a dollar
I was lucky to find Boktai. I could never find Boktai 2, but I did put it on a wish list, and it was given to me for my 16-18th birthday. I found a Boktai 3 rom in english, and was able to run it just well enough so that I could enjoy it.
Anyway, Sabata’s Weapon of choice is the Dark Gun, the Gun Del Hell. It’s Eerily Similar to the Solar Gun, the Gun Del Sol. In all the games, I think the Dark Gun was stronger. It can shoot large spheres of what must be Dark Matter, and can be charged to perform a spinning and moving spread. It’s also a grenade launcher in the first one, and can shoot nightmare grenades. Sabata only had amazing elemental abilities when you were unable to play as him in the first and third game.
I still don’t think that the Protomen’s speeds are greater than Sabata’s. In Boktai, when you fought Sabata, he constantly used Zero Shift, and was untouchable unless you could surprise him. The only time He ran regularly was when he created several copies of himself that exploded on contact, and ran around randomly with them(You could only tell them apart if there was sun on the solar sensor).
Plus Gamestop has a permanant 75% off all Gameboy Games sale. I just need to find it!
Well, remember. Sabata may have been around = to Proto Man, but Protoman is far faster than Proto Man. Protoman was over Mach 5 when he first appeared

After he got immeasureable power ups. I could explain in more detail in another post if you want, but by the end of the series his speed is off the charts. Here are some scans from the end of the series.

Personally, I’d say he’s DBZ level in terms of speed.
Sabata is still a very powerful fighter and you should help him increase his record with more fights. I’ll probably help him once I get the games.
How come Shademan had to become physically manifest in the real world with the power of dark matter before he could fight Django, but all the other Navi’s can fight as if they are in cyberspace?
If Lan or Django fought Megaman.exe , couldn’t they just smash the PErsonal Terminal and destroy him?
Well, for beings in the cyberworld I just let them appear in the real world. It wouldn’t really be fair if Dora the Explorer could beat guys like Megaman and Protoman just because they couldn’t access the real world.
I don’t think it’s fair to assume that the laws that govern cyberspace are the same as in the “real” world.
Also, they CAN access the real world, just not directly. They can access machines connected to the net. So maybe they could like, make solar stations and piledrivers malfunction and hurt Sabata with sunlight, or force Django’s account into debt so that Dark loans would punish him all the time. That’s a funny thought. It made me smile.
Well, it’s like how living people can’t see guys like Ichigo because their soul reapers. That’s really not fair for them. How can they win if they can’t see them? So I take away limitations like those. In effect I want these battles to be complete battles.
Of course, they could wreck his account a lot and force him to sell all of his weapons 😎 Cool idea
