Y'all do realize you have to have anti tank rifle to get past kaneths defenses they even mentioned that in strange fake and I doubt they were talking about mages on the level of kaneth, and I wasn't saying kiristugu could win in a Melee, I was saying he could survive one, and hei hasn't fought someone as willing to do anything to win, as I said the fourth holy grail was not him, in his best mental state, I mean normally he would not have bothered to save all those people before blowing that building, with something as important as the holy grail at stake, in this fight we're assuming is at absolute coldest and best state of mind. It do you kiristugu wouldn't be prepared for any kind of an assault, I'd put kid more at kotomines level, and the boosts were as dangerous as they were because kotomine was already close to Ciels level, the boosts put him over that, so I wouldn't say he's that dangerous normally. Now if it came to Melee, and there was no way for kiristugu to escape then yea he dies, defiantly. However if kiristugu is able to keep his distance and get a feel for hei I feel he could turn the fight around.
however this just my 2 cents on how I'd view that fight.
