Kirb vs Tad

Kirb R1

Yuta vs Etrigan

* Yuta's strength is visually better than Etrigan's

* Yuta scales above bullet timers

Kokushibu vs Kurono

* Kokushibu has good bullet timing feats along with scaling above other fast characters

* The speed scaling used for Kurono is suspect

* Kurono relies on his smoke sensing vibrations to dodge a possibly supersonic attack, spmething that won't work against Kokushibu

***

Kirb R2

Yuta vs Etrigan

* Cursed users have good heat and piercing resist

* Yuta's stats just outclass Etrigan

* Yuta can freeze Etrigan, bend his fire away, and regen

* Etrigan can't stop these as you can't just assume these are equivalent to DC magic

* If it did, Yuta could copy Etrigan's magic

Ryu vs Saxton

* The given scaling feats for Hale's strength aren't as good as described

* Nemesis was already the victim of tons of damage before Hale's feat against him

* Nemesis' skull was already damaged and was hit against its weakest point

* None of these feats are comparable to Ryu's durability feats

* Ryu scales above fast people

* Cursed energy increasing also increases speed

* The minigun feat is a huge antifeat

* Ryu's blasts are hard to avoid and Hale is hard pressed to close the distance while dodging them

Kokushibu vs Kurono

* Rengoku's speed feats are good and Rengoku<=Akaza<Kokushibu

* Guns during the time period that Demon Slayer takes place were supersonic and even if they were slightly slower, Kokushibu's speed feats are still good

* Koku's speed is demonstrably better than Kurono and Kurono's feat required forewarning

* Kurono can't cut Koku

* Koku would simply not breathe the smoke and can dispel it with his slashes

* Tad conceded that enhanced vision makes the smoke less effective and Koku has great vision

* Koku's vortex cannot be avoided by Kurono and are strong and plenty

* Etrigan can BFR

* Etrigan has good piercing resist and piercing

* Fire hurt and AOE

Ryu vs Saxton

* Hale is strong

* Hale's scaling is fine

* Hale can BFR

* Hale wins a grapple

* Hale is durable and skilled

Kokushibu vs Kurono

* Shinra fast

* Tanjiro scaling isn't applicable

Judgements

Yuta vs Etrigan

Yuta wins. Tad fails to prove if Jujutsu Kaisen's Cursed Energy is equivalent to DC's magic, which leaves him vulnerable to Yuta's techniques. Tad mostly relies on scaling feats for Etrigan's physicals but as Kirbin shows, in the actual scans where he performs the feats, the collateral just isn't good. Yuta's physicals on the other hand is clearly good for the tier and he his most casual feats are still better than Etrigan. I also buy Kirbin's arguments for how Cursed Energy output works in improving resilience and speed. The Yuta feat is demonstrably good and even using rubber bullet speed, the Maki feat is still good considering the distance. Yuta operates at a higher speed than Etrigan while boasting greater physicals. Although, Tad does make a good point that Rika can't restrain Etrigan and would be torn apart, Yuta alone is enough to defeat him, considering his superior stats, regen, and Cursed Techniques.

Also, the rhyme scheme thing is cool, but the formatting is not worth it.

Ryu vs Saxton

Saxton wins. Saxton overall possesses numerous advantages over from his better skill and mobility along with his strong physical stats. I think Hale can close the gap fast enough while avoiding the blasts and as Tad shows, Ryu is willing to fist fight if called to one. I don't think a lot of the Hale scaling arguments were necessary, as they're more of a waste of space when he already has his own objective feats that are good enough. I think Kirb brings a good point on the minigun feat actually being an antifeat for Hale as he's unable to relevantly move out of the way in between the intervals of each bullet, but this is helped at least by how fast his singular punches are, which are a definite issue for Ryu in a fist fight. In a close quarter fight, Hale is advantaged from his endurance and techniques.

Kokushibu vs Kurono

Kokushibu wins. Kokushibu's bullet timing feat is demonstrably good, and his speed scaling is icing on the cake. Kokushibu possesses strong piercing, range, durability, and regen. I think the Tanjiro scaling Kirb provides is fine. While Tad makes a valiant effort, Kirb shows that Kokushibu is clearly above the level of the Hashira and he shows it's not a stretch for the piercing of the strongest characters to be above the first feat in the enitre series. Ignoring the piercing resist, Tad doesn't really argue a way to get past the regen and his reliance to feel out strikes through his smokes leaves him heavily vulnerable to Kokushibu's vortex. Kurono's lack of relevant piercing resist means he'd be instantly bisected by these attacks.
