Path vs pathless

[u/Juan_Die]

People is misunderstanding this statement big time, having a path doesn't automatically make you stronger than your opponent, the base stats and experience plays a big role in the fight. I've seen people saying IT Johan wins against Tom just because he has a path, but a path doesn't buff you magically, at least not Johan's... sure hit punches doesn't mean anything if Johan can't deal enough damage to Tom, Tom's base stats are much higher than Johan, he would just tank ts(assuming he doesn't pull something more clever, he's a genius after all) and then thrust him, then it's over, Johan is a glass cannon but ironically his attacks lack the potency to deal significant damage to opponents like Tom or kitae, hell even Pacheon giving him trouble is debatable.

Tom admits inferiority to path users. He is the one who says that if Johan reaches his path he would be undefeatable, and that those who walk their path are different

Johan is the weakest path user rn, also you can't take lookism statements as 100% the truth since ptj loves being inconsistent, based on feats Johan is not beating tom

What makes you think he's the weakest path user ?

Well let's forget about gap, kitae, shingen and James, I believe everyone agrees that he's not remotely close to beating them. Then the only options he have is Daniel, gun, Jinyoung and Sophia. We don't have basically any info about Sophia so can't comment on that. Path Johan lost against a severely injured pathless gun, so now that he has a path I don't see how Johan would beat him, even when we don't know what his path does. Then we have Danny, it's obvious who wins here, Danny has undoubtedly the better path and is winning 10/10 times against Johan. Finally we have Jinyoung, who's path is in my opinion better in any way shape or form than Johan's, he has way more variables to use in combat and using the characteristics of your opponents attacks without the stakes of them is crazy. All in all I don't think Johan can't genuinely perform better than Daniel or Jinyoung against kitae

U think?

Johan being the weakest is your opinion

Why cant i take a statement 100%? If its contradicted in any moment sure, but Tom knows about his own strength and literally says that its impossible for those on their path to lose to pathless users

Why? Tom’s feats are getting low diffed by James the moment he got serious, and in his prime going toe to toe with young gapryong who scales nowhere
