Idk why this is controversial, james is sweating on a one handed tom and prime tom still lost to gap.
Tom says it himself that he doesnt fight the way he used to. we keep scaling the man past his own words
Half of you are weighing a man at his literal peak against a version of tom that stopped existing years ago
You cant call this peak james either, the story isnt close to finished
1He said he's at his ceiling right now. but sure, wait for the surprise upgrade everyone else gets
5Old tom has the experience and the rage, sure, but he's down a hand and half his toolkit. gen 0 tom was trading with god tiers, this one got teen gun and goo.
He's still throwing hands in manager kim though
2staying active just makes the decline slower, it was never a power up
3Someone bring up shingen to this man real quick
Shingen is a whole different chain though. the claim here is gap scaling through tom, thats it
12and the chain still dead ends with gap getting humbled, so
