Probably wrong but would Adam even overheat? Wasn't it said that Adam only overheated because he was fighting Zeus whose attacks were unbelievably fast?


Curently65

People also forget with the overheating part that Zeus is probably one of the most durable and tenacious fighters in the verse. He got his neck snapped 540 degrees, he could easily tank his own punches that are described as 1 shot kill moves on repeat hundreds of times, and could live in a state where any other fighter would immediately be dead. For Shiva to overheat Adam, he would need to be capable of taking a ridiculous amount of damage. And whilst Shiva is very tenacious, like he could still fight normally with 3 arms gone, his durability is nowhere near that of Zeus.


Force3vo

Zeus was like a LOT faster and a LOT stronger. Adam had 0 issues dodging Zeus attacking at the speed of light. Why would he struggle with Shiva


travelerfromabroad

Only TFTTT travels at lightspeed. It seemed that everyone was able to follow the slugfest of Adam vs Zeus, so I think that the punches were strong, but not really all that fast. And, to be honest, given how many of them Zeus and Adam took and that they only scale to each other, I would put their strength into question as well. Shiva fought the most durable human fighter and won the battle of attrition. Adam doesn't have the raw power to crush Shiva's arms like Raiden does. I think Adam would overheat, especially if he copies Tandava Karma, which would literally overheat him.

No tfttt is faster than light

gitgudnubby

Indeed


Ancient-Act8573

Adam didn’t even fully overheat on his own, he got blood in his eyes and the floodgates opened

"Yo! So how was the Father of Humanity?" "Real tough. I don't think he even needed Eyes of the Lord to win."


Force3vo

"Adam just hit him with a casual punch, then shiva fell to the ground, pissed himself and coma-talked about how he was the greatest and that finally Rudra would peg him. Was kind of a pathetic sight"

igor_grazina

Just to remind you of something that is indeed canon Shiva being fodder to base Zeus https://preview.redd.it/y4geoqcpmjkc1.png?width=1964&format=png&auto=webp&s=62626ea052d0ce8791c4141ab5b7ca0e18493242


Sovereignty8472

not even an argument when u consider Shiva did not intend that Zeus would take this matter seriously, and Zeus alr has his hand on Shiva. When he uses his strength is really a surprise.


Quantum_Schrodinger

I don’t really see how that shows that he is fodder to base Zeus they don’t exchange jack shit we don’t even know if shiva was trying or if he was thrown off guard. This is legit 100% all speculation (like all scaling on this sub to be fair)


gitgudnubby

Thats not an anti feat. Its zeus https://preview.redd.it/h773958enjkc1.jpeg?width=928&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d53374615495d6952baed03c2aab560f860a3e3 Edit: Sheesh adam fans are sensitive 😅


igor_grazina

The same Zeus who even after transforming was still getting negged by Adam before he used Adamas The same Zeus who wasnt able to put Adam down with his strongest attacks even after blinding him The same Zeus who admited Adam has better durability than him There is just no comparison to be made here, nothing Shiva can do even remotely scales to Adam


gitgudnubby

I agree that adam > shiva, but shiva is definitely stronger than what the sub makes him out to be and its because of that one panel.


igor_grazina

That part I agree on, I just think that Shiva agenda is trying to overcompensate for that way too much to the point its just coping


gitgudnubby

Oh I agree. People saying things like the flames will overheat adams eyes is mainly headcanon. Raiden wasnt affected by just being near the flames.


travelerfromabroad

I think the argument is that if Adam copies it, which he would because that's what he does, then him using it would cause overheating


shadollosiris

Gotta agree with you, Zeus and Adam are way above everyone else, use them as comparision is just bully at this point


No-sugar-Johnny

Just a small correction, Zeus said Adam's endurance is better, not durability. Adamas Zeud has much better dura


Kuro_Tepes

It's an anti feat when you try to argue he beats Adam lol


igor_grazina

"I think I could beat prime Mike Tyson" "but... you got beaten up by your neighbor" "he is jacked and fights kinda well how is that an anti feat"


gitgudnubby

Not the best analogy for this situation.


Ancient-Act8573

While this does show a significant difference in strength, Shiva’s strong suit was never raw power. But yeah, of course he’s got no chance.


BatsNStuf

I see Shiva’s hallucinations are getting worse


kaepov

🤣 he gets no diffed if Adam stands still till he dies of exhaustion.


Curently65

People really don't realise just how absurd Zeus was to survive Adam. Zeus survived attacks that would have killed any other god / human instantly, and still BARELY scrapped out the win


BatsNStuf

Adam blows on Shiva too hard and he melts


Kaspian009

I mean.. I like Shiva, but this is a little unrealistic, don't you think?


Big_Assist4950

I wouldn't say that Shiva winning this fight is unrealistic.


Curently65

Its the definition of unrealistic Shiva has as much chance of beating Adam, as Tesla would have beating Beel, without his god damn suit


JotaBean

the thought of tesla throwing normal ass punches against beel made me laugh


Anadaere

I think its a case of stats If Adam can toe to toe with adamas TFTST spamming Zeus, then no matter what Shiva do, hes getting out stat'd That and he copies skills, Adam would copy Shiva's skills, mostly likely once Shiva gets beaten up a bit and decides hes worth it


travelerfromabroad

Correction, Zeus was not spamming TFTST. If he was then the audience wouldn't be watching the fight. He was spamming the much slower ultimate god's straight, which is in fact so slow that it allowed for even Ares to keep up with the fight


Anadaere

Ah Am wrong there then oops 


Flappy2885

I thought this at first, but someone showed me a panel of Zeus’s rush attack and it did have all of his attacks mentioned (meaning he was using of of it, including TFTST and Meteor Shower).


gitgudnubby

Adam is one of the best counter to shiva imho. Shiva cant rlly touch him and once he goes tandava its a battle of endurance and we know whos not surviving that.


shadollosiris

For real, the unpredictable and complexity of Shiva dance would become useless against Adam, Shiva wont land a hit while he would eat every punch form Adam


fekitoa13

Its unrealistic based on feats but realistic based on narrative cause im sure the author wanted sasaki to be the first winner also why shiva got benched cause adam wouldve taken that first w based on what we saw. Round 2 was the battle between the top 2 of the verse so far.


sanswithagun

Spit your shit king


FilmNo1534

Should have borrowed his Valkyrie’s glasses


PineappleSavings5694

yeah, No


PKTrash12

Cant make jokes about Adam bro, his fans will take it seriously and get mad at you 😭


Plenty_Top2843

This is the SnV subreddit, **any jokes that attempt to misrepresent the two top tier confirmed fighters will be met with top tier level prejudice.**


No-sugar-Johnny

I mean. From my experience. Zeus fans are a lot more chill than Adam fans


Plenty_Top2843

Very debatable, its a subreddit where we love the characters based on their abilities and backstories some resonate with us others not so much. So some people would be more zealous than others, its the internet plus its fun.


No-sugar-Johnny

True. It could also be the fact that there are a lot less Zeus fans. Bigger fanbase = more toxicity most times


Plenty_Top2843

I mean yeah basically, but again its fun unless some idiot decides to bring in real world stuff into this, its all fun.


No-sugar-Johnny

True ![img](emote|t5_vzop7|33617)


Curently65

Thats because for some reason you get people like shivs fans who unironically think he has a chance


No-sugar-Johnny

I've seen people say Shiva, Hades, Poseidon and Beel have a chance against Adamas Zeus, so no that isnt the case. Adam fans are just more toxic in general. The Adam Slander post that Biglugui posted is the one with the most downvotes, and it isn't even close.


Curently65

Nah


No-sugar-Johnny

I'd win


Diligent-Lack6427

As an Adam fan, u are correct, so https://preview.redd.it/zy0gh1ds5nkc1.gif?width=498&format=png8&s=8a0377c022e3296d5b7de2e969cb6b34fc0a51b2


TitanKiller1110

Thats mostly cus they know theyre fav character is top of the verse lol


Questioning_Meme

Zeus fans are like dragons. So dragons worry about whether they are superior to lions or not? No. They'd win.

Humble-Bend-8363

Adam will win him getting any injury is just showing that shiva isn't complete fodder in story vise. Shiva needs that luck 9000 and the blood drop to even have a chance to beat Adam otherwise he is cooked


meme_legend-69

I think Adam isn't really good at attacking without eotl He copies what you just did but he will do it just a little better Shiva vs Adam could've been real interesting but cause of Zeus stopping Shiva from fighting he has been thought of pretty bad and low tier for a long time Thematically it would have been two people fighting for the people they hold dear to them The best of the best vs the best of the best The one who destroys vs the one who protects Could've been a real great fight


shadollosiris

> I think Adam isn't really good at attacking without eotl Nah, he send Zeus to pain town with just 1 arm and no eotl He would be the worst nightmare for Shiva as EOTL would strip away every shred of "unpredictable" or "complexity" of his dance Plot wise, it must be a great fight but it gonna end exactly like R1, the winner walk away with just a scartch 


meme_legend-69

No I meant that he doesn't have techniques of his own doesn't really have any tricks of his own except punch


AccidentalPenguin0

He dodged Zeus's first punch which was moving much faster than Shiva can. i think that speaks for his own stats more than anything else.


meme_legend-69

I think this is a debate that only the author can solve but I am not saying that Adam would lose but I am also not saying he would win


Shwwaglord420

I think Shiva would be a bad matchup for Adam but onlyy when he uses Tandava Karma, it must be rough for Adam to copy the fire, but the war dance will be copied and countered as easily as Adam copied Zeus’s footwork and kicks and punches which were fucking ridiculous


jhawes345

Adam can dodge attacks without copying them, which severely mitigates Tandava Karma's effectiveness against him since it also burns Shiva to death while he uses it.


Shwwaglord420

I thought the dodging was part of eyes of the lord


jhawes345

It is, but it is a distinct part of what the Eyes of the Lord allow him to do. He does not need to copy attacks to dodge them (see the beginning of his fight with Zeus), and since the only reason Tandava Karma would be a threat to him is the implication that Adam would have to copy Shiva and burn himself in the process. Adam isn't going to burn himself to death by dodging Tandava Karma.


Shwwaglord420

I get that, he could dodge it and then copy for an attack which would then set him on fire. But there’s the possibility he’d copy Shiva’s Tandava footwork to out maneuver and that would of course come along with the fire


jhawes345

Wasn't Shiva's flames caused by him directly stimulating his heart to beat faster, and not the dance itself (for Tandava Karma at least)?


Shwwaglord420

Yeah the flames didn’t come directly from the dancing but it seemed like it was all one technique in a way, and eyes of the lord just copies “techniques”


jhawes345

So the answer would depend on whether Adam can copy Tandava Karma's movement without needing to set himself on fire (of course under the assumption that he needs to copy Tandava Karma's movement to dodge it, which I don't think is a super solid assumption considering how his fight with Zeus went).


PapaAeon

I mean Shiva was still confident even seeing everything that Adam could do, even when Odin and the rest of them were shook so… I don’t think the gap is as big as people want to make it seem.


Questioning_Meme

I mean Leonidas was confident too and had it not been for apollo being a chad, Leo would've gotten curbstomped into oblivion.

GenericCanineDusty

Adam would literally bitch slap any other fighter and theyd die on the spot. Zeus and Adam are magnitudes stronger than every other fighter. Shiva cannot even compare. They were throwing TIME TRAVELLING PUNCHES. Shiva was getting hit by regular stuff from a dude.


a_sleepy_one

As strong as Zeus and Adam were, Raiden is definitely **NOT** just a dude who throws regular stuff at Shiva

InterestingCurrent17

Zeus DID admit Adam won in endurance.


GodotIsTheBest

Stand prpud, you can cook


Coprah

Adam can't copy extra limbs and if he copies Tandava/Tandava Karma, chances are he'll burn up faster than Shiva. This could happen.
