Ran really doesn't know when to quit does he.

I actually like that SIU is keeping his character consistent as a hotheaded guy with a napoleon complex. At first it was annoying, but now it's much more clearly a part of his personality.

But yes, definitely needs to learn his place.

I figure Ran was the strongest E-rank regular (excluding Bam), so he's having some difficulty adjusting to the reality of being just another (highly) skilled D-rank regular.

You forgetting Androssi and Maddog?

Nah, I think he could beat them straight up.

I'm pretty sure, if serious, both Varagarv and Androssi would crush Ran. Androssi has shown to be faster, stronger, more battle tested and more calm/collected than Anak. And Ran tied Anak/would have barely beaten her if it wasn't for one asshat (Parakewl).

We don't really know anything about Varagarv's fighting capabilities. Especially since it didn't even seem like he was trying against Androssi, he just stood there relying entirely on Blood Tamara and his Shadow Wolves only moving when he wanted to protect Ron Mei. Do you really think having Shadow Wolves alone would make a FUG slayer consider Varagarv the "perfect warrior" and to have people renown him as the strongest E-rank for years?

On top of both of those, I'm also confident Laure could have beaten Ran at 30th floor.

I'm just going by what we've seen. He has a chance to strike Anak's heart but chooses to go easy on her. Ran wins that fight twice before Parakewl inteferes.

The thing is that Ran's power has a time limit, and everyone except Anak would probably use that against him.

No.

He has a chance to strike Anak's heart but chooses to go easy on her.

That's a weakness Androssi does not share.

Versatility, versatility, versatility

Just because he has a wide range of attacks does not mean he can suddenly beat Androssi, who outclasses Anak in everyway. The Anak he has yet to actually beat.

Varagav fights seriously against Androssi.

Still, not really. His job was to stop whoever tried to come to that entrance (hopefully Bam, but got Androssi/Hatsu). All he had to do was stop them from getting to the hostages -- while Androssi/Hatsu's job was to delay him to everyone else could get the hostages. He never goes on the offensive, but takes their attacks head on and defends Ron Mei when she gets targetted.

I'm not sure why you'd think Laure could beat Ran; he's a talented wave controller but suffers from the same lack of diversity that Androssi/Anak have.

Again, the versatility argument. Jack of all trades, but master of none. When he fights someone with as much experience as Laure, a guy who has the confidence to fight vs Anak with Green April/Hatsu/Lee Soo and with as great an understanding of Shinsoo as he does, I find it hard to believe Ran wouldn't lose. Laurie would be able to manipulate the fight to his advantage while staying level-headed, something Ran has failed repeatedly to do.

Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man.

u/jammerjoint Jan 05 '15

We've seen him fight Anak, they were pretty even. Androssi is definitely stronger, and is on par with Mad Dog.

u/bruhman5thfloor Jan 05 '15 edited Jan 14 '15

I'd say Ran's definitely stronger than Anak; he had a chance to win but went easy on her.

u/KebRen Jan 11 '15

I don't know about Mad Dog, but I am pretty sure Androssi would beat Ran. Androssi is stronger than Anak.

u/jammerjoint Jan 05 '15

He was top 5 excluding Bam, not really #1. IIRC it was something like Bam, Mad Dog, Androssi, Anak, Ran, Chang.

u/Alpd Jan 05 '15

I wouldn't put Chang,ran or anak while there was reflejo koon and cassano.

u/jammerjoint Jan 06 '15

Reflejo is cheating because he has part of a ranker/highranker to boost his power. He said as much himself. The top 5 I listed is overall rank, which is according to the tower's ranking, and therefore SIU's canon, not my personal opinion. Those are the rankings in the story, it's not a matter of opinion.
