Actually, he took Neo out by shooting him.

-Kira destroyed the Destroy (Stellar) with beam sabers
Before Shinn arrived, he wasn't doing anything or even damaging the Destroy. Heck, Stella managed to block one of Kira's beam saber swing when she went insane after he took down Neo.

It doesn't matter if it's unfair or not, the point is that Shinn wasn't fighting at his fullest yet.

The fact that Kira was distracted by archangel and didn't want to kill a ZAFT pilot is his own problem.
Kira does kill, Rau among others. He also sliced a Federation ship in half with METEOR. Just because He doesn't want to kill doesn't mean he isn't doing everything in his power to protect the Arch Angel or Orb. It would be stupid to claim that he always held back in a situation that could endanger those he cares about or millions of lives.

Kira does melee but he isn't exactly the best, flashy tricks aside.

Joking aside, this is a terrible discussion.

No need for the backhanded remarks. Besides, I'm not here to convince anyone since I know what happened and how they purposely set up Kira as the Ranged champ with melee being his weak point, Athrun as the Melee champ with ranged being his weak point, and Shinn being a heavy jack of all trades guy.

Ranged - Kira > Shinn > Athrun
Melee - Athrun > Shinn > Kira

Ranged - Strike Freedom > Destiny > Infinite Justice
Melee - Infinite Justice > Destiny > Strike Freedom

Which still completely ignores the fact that Kira's done better at melee than both Shinn and Athrun.

Ugh, there's no talking sense with you. I'll just leave it at that than since you're adamant that Kira is a God that's better than everyone at everything.

Nice closure there, Rising Dragon .

I have not once said anything of the like. I have not said Athrun or Shinn were terrible pilots, they are both remarkably good pilots. I am merely asserting that Kira's skills in one particular aspect of combat are not deficient or lower than certain other pilots when the evidence points to the case that he is not, as you are claiming.

While I will respect your desire not to continue the actual debate with me, I will not stand idly by while you make unsupported assertions when everything else suggests otherwise.

I could say the same of you as well. That's why this conversation should end now since we're at an impasse.

Dare I say that the change of tone in the music used as the series progressed didn't help at all?

I noticed how it was all suspense and military-ish at the early stages and when it's just Shinn and the Minerva team then it became all choir-y and heroic when Archangel's team show up.

Well, that's what happens when they change gears from the original goal. They were under a lot of stress after all. Had they been given more time before starting Destiny and let the SEED hype die down to a less zealous level than maybe things would have turned out better.

It's not that he did't want to fight at his fullest, but it's because he couldn't. Shinn would have activated Seed mode much sooner than Kira if he could.. But he can't. That's his inability. And it's not a dual. So Kira dosen't have to wait till Shinn is angry enough to activate Seed mode. (Even in a dual, I'm not sure if that should be a rule)

And even when Shinn was fighting agains Kira at his "best" (+ help from Ray) Didn't he still get kicked in the face or something?..I can't remember.

Rau, METEOR, 'He dosent want to kill', 'He held back'..?? Again, wtf are you talking about? When did I say anything like that? Kira didn't want to kill a ZAFT pilot at that point. This is not my interpretation of that fight, it's what Kira said.. Literally. (though, I can't remember that episode.)

And I alo never said anyting about Kira holding back against Shinn... I sure he was doing everything in his power to beat Shinn. His his arch-nemesis!!

His flashy moves are quite effective. He is overall very efficient with his two beam sabers.. And like so many before me have pointed out, he extremely capable in close combat.

I Understand You disagree. So would you like to point out all those moment where he flopped with a beam saber? And who might be better according to you?

No you can't.. He made point and came up with arguments and evidence to suport that point. You had nothing to say throughout this conversation other then: 'You are wrong, I'm right! Why? Cos I say so!'.

..You talked about Video games, cards and some other s*** for 5 pages long!

You're overreacting, dude.

Quote:

The point is that Kira really hasn't shown the ability to beat Shinn with SEED mode(while he's piloting Destiny). In fact, when Shinn did went SEED mode during their skirmish at Orb, Kira got pushed back. Doesn't matter if it's fair or not.

Quote:

Shinn wasn't in SEED mode during that time. Still, Kira was almost killed anyway if it weren't for Athrun.

I'm not seeing you being specific here.

Quote:

Are you talking about operation angel down or operation fury? If it's the latter, it would be stupid to take what he said seriously. I think it would be stupid if it's the former as well, considering what's at stake.

Quote:

On unsuspecting victims and cannon fodder.
You gotta' love his twirls, though.

Quote:

Didn't seem to help against Shinn when he's swinging around the bulky, easy to avoid, Arondight during their fight at Orb.

Quote:

Especially when there are always two, conveniently placed fodder, standing side by side for Kira to... fodderize.... always.

I expect a full rant from you if I do, so no thanks.

I've been playing Dragon's Dogma for the past week now, and I like it. In fact, I'm playing it and right now.

That's thanks to Rey.

Nonetheless, that is what happened.

Kira in Freedom always makes a scene, you can't say there were any unsuspecting victims. So now let's see, that still leaves at least Stella, Sting, Shinn, Athrun, and Heine.

No need for the beam sabers, Kira just used Strike Freedom's hands.

He didn't even use the hands, he caged the sword with the beam shields.

i remember reading some where that going seed didn't really make the pilot get any stronger and that all it gave the pilot was greater concentration. can anyone clear this up for me?

Often, Kira does some of his best work with SEED, other times, he used it just to make a final blow, like in his last fight against Andrew.

SEED is really just a vague concept at this point.

Armless or not, I was just trying to point out that most of the known pilots he has beaten, he has beaten with Melee weaponry, Kira still took out Rau with his saber.

Kira used SEED while the X didnt? You clearly missed the point I was trying to make, Im well aware that Athrun was not in SEED, I was mentioning the fact that Kira also went for his beam sabers instead of range weaponry to take out Athrun, If Kira would suck at Melee weaponry, He would not choose to pick a saber to take out Saviour.

Yes, He took out Neo by shooting, My bad.

Again, Im not trying to analyze what happened, Just pointing out that Kira DOES indeed use his beam sabers and finishes most of the known pilots with them.

I definetly agree with your points as well but I maybe didnt clarify my point that well anyways... I was just trying to make a point that Kira does use his beam sabers well
