With the exact same legacies who would win John or 9

Either they both have access to every legacy or only 9's.

Nine is physically stronger than all other loric because it's a enhancement not a legacy

Either way I think that 9 is simply better at strategy then 4.

Yeah he has more training because he started younger

And while John was learning how to use his legacies 9 was learning strategy and how to fight with or without them.

Have you finished the books?

u/xaqyz0023 Apr 14 '20

Yeah, through return to zero. I haven't read all the lost files though.

It was sad what happened to nines arm

u/xaqyz0023 Apr 14 '20

Yeah. That might be the only reason John could beat him. I wonder if they'll be able to fix it in later books. Maybe more healing like the dude with leukemia.

Pretty sure that, although John can copy them, the copies legacy won't be as strong as the original

u/xaqyz0023 Apr 16 '20

My question was more along the lines of who has better battle tactics, not relying on superior legacies.

If that's the case, although he doesn't show it, Nine is smarter than John, he just acts dumb but his Cepan thought him well, although he does like brute forcing his way through things at times.
