even simple bandits could hurt him with normal weapons when he was an early Houtian, which makes you question how strong martial artists in Houtian really are. Not to mention it also depends on the talent you choose, since that MC takes such massive damage that sometimes he goes down like paper.
Early-Houtian is the weakest PoMa MC could be?
And even then if you pass the constitution checks, you're unharmed?
Talent doesn't really matter since there is no canonicity but assuming MC pass all the checks that part is not really a problem.
Like if you're comparing current poma MC to his early houtian self there is an exponential difference.
Also MC still continue to fight with multiple internal injuries,with his brains exposed,with multiple ribs crusheds or organs destroyed and he still won.AC MC didn't take that amount of injuries yet and prolly won't because AC's narration is different, that's why it's difficult to compare.

Overall AC MC is more competent, that's why people won't be that bothered despite the fact he's helped in a lot of his fights (Taio the bandit,Taio the Scholar)
fight against injured or non-full power MAs(Tian Fang first fight,Lightbringer) but he does it with more class.Poma MC does it with more difficulty but he wins, sometimes even in unfavorable position (Jumping #1,Jumping#2,poison) but overall he's very passive and not very competent at anything else so people except more in the domain that's he's competent in

Experience is more than just skilled.
PoMa MC had more life and death fight than AC MC had,which is fair since he's older and PoMa has been running for longer.
As for AC MC skills,he's not that skilled yet,his training has flaws he started late and he's quickly catching up but not there yet.
PoMa MC would win imo ergo he's the better fighter.
The advantage that AC MC has is more versatility and he's smarter but that alone doesn't make you a better fighter than someone who is stronger so I don't understand the difference?
If you mean that AC MC is more skilled ,debatable when it comes to fighting prowess,he's more skilled when it comes to non-fighting domains , that's absolutely true.Poma MC is clueless outside of fighting.

Even if you pass all the stat checks, you almost always take damage—against opponents who are supposed to be weaker than you. That’s why I said that MC is like paper. I’ve even died several times despite passing all the stat checks.

The difference is that the POMA MC would only win through brute force. After all, he's been given so many advantages that it would be strange if he didn’t. That’s why I don’t consider him the better fighter—he’s just stronger because the MC in POMA has already spent years in the sect and literal gods have granted him advantages. But if we define the better fighter as simply the one with more brute strength, then yeah, the POMA MC probably is better, that’s if we’re talking about the MC from Mortal Limit or the regular one from AC not the JDF MC and about the death fights—well, it depends. In POMA, the arena fights are skippable, and there are many other battles you can avoid, so I’m not even sure if having more experience really applies in that case.

The MC doesn’t actually learn anything from them besides basic stats. That would at least explain why he keep doing the same thing. I don’t know which Dao path you're using, but the Void one was a complete idiot. At least he improved a bit in the final tournament fight and that's if you even fight and don’t skip the battle as well.

The difference is that the MC from AC fights against opponents stronger than him in those battles, while the one from POMA fights opponents weaker than him. And like I said, most of the life-or-death fights in POMA are skippable, but not in AC.

But maybe I’m being unfair to the POMA MC since I don’t really see him progressing at the pace he should, so I guess I’m not the best person for this debate.
And the one who exposes the MC’s brain (I really don’t remember that character’s name) didn’t tell the MC that he doesn’t have much experience?

The reason why it’s so hard to make a comparison between the two MCs is that the power scaling in POMA is as bad as in Dragon Ball Super. You can see your progress in AC in real time and as far as I understand, AC uses a power system similar to the one from the DBZ Saiyan saga, but in POMA your stats are just for show, so you have to wait for the narrative to decide when to roughly tell you how powerful you are.

You guys know that they're treating shangtians as 1 hit skill right 🧘‍♀️



Imagine even someone like jia beating big daddy Chao 😂
The strongest xiantian alive that's gotta mean sth



Ps where did uncle go?
Thought he said he'll protect us from old monsters ?
Someone with the surname Wu winning? 💀 Lmao, but seriously in lore is very difficult for ma to fight above one realm, starting from xantian even minor stages get difficult to surpass unless someone is a generational genius like wu chao, at the very least he should survive someone like jia.

Uncle tao already come back home, after someone enters the sect all the retainers and bodyguards are dismissed and forbidden to act on sect premises, on the tournament when chao comes to talk with wu heir he mentions that uncle tao didnt come and still resents us for auntie's death and basically crippling chao.

I mean tbf all of those are gameplay situation ,if you play right or on a lower difficulty or even then canonically MC doesn't die from these damage.He does take heavy damage that's true but that never really stop him from eventually winning.

The way Dao are used I agree for a long time has been lackluster but outside of that if we look at the hands and how he fights barehanded MC is a waaaaay better fighter than AC MC .
During tournament his Dao feats are also better, his transfos are for now way above everything AC MC has shown and AC MC has some impressive attacks in ch3 and ch7 but not that level of hax yet.
The difference is that the MC from AC fights against opponents stronger than him in those battles, while the one from POMA fights opponents weaker than him. And like I said, most of the life-or-death fights in POMA are skippable, but not in AC.
PoMa MC fights are all at his level or stronger, that's false to say they're weaker.
Whenever he fight weaker opponents it's either they're weak as hell(Xiao Chun,Ruo fan) or it's a hellish jumping (DES,SES).And the fact that they're skippable I mean sure? But I'm taking everything fight they have,AC MC can skip Daichi and Tian Fang but I'd still count them


And the one who exposes the MC’s brain (I really don’t remember that character’s name) didn’t tell the MC that he doesn’t have much experience?
Blood Hunter tell MC he didn't fight much yes,compared to someone like him who fought thousands of Houtian and in his late 30s,the scale is just off compared to AC MC who didn't fight nowhere that much PoMa MC did yet.

AC powerscaling is linear so easy to follow.The AP points also help.
PoMa is a pure xianxia so there will be xianxia bullshittery regardless.
And I do agree that there is a heavy disconnect between gameplay and story.Regardless doesn't matter much,PoMa won't be as flashy as AC and AC won't be as gore violent or xianxia bullshitty as PoMa,so even when both series will be finished I don't think we'll know for sure who is stronger.
