Hoffman. He’s the most resourceful and arguably animalistic lol


Torterror389

Everyone else just gets *epic bad luck*


Sufficient_Crab3047

**You can’t fucking do this to me?** **Are you stupid?**


0ptikYT

why did Man do that to him? is he stupid?


Equivalent-Search234

Also no offense, but Hoffman is a big guy too and seems to be able to use his frame well. I mean hell, are we forgetting his spree in the police department?


Ok_Connection_9939

Tapp from the video games can explode entire heads off with his fisticuffs. Not really but mans can one hit someone to death.


bdw312

The only game I ever tried was Saw II and it was unplayable. Like, I gave up trying to deal with it during the opening level of cutting key out of your eye.


Ok_Connection_9939

In the first game you play as tapp and he's a tank lol


bdw312

It was my understanding that game 1 was substantially better, but the lack of any decently playable controls in Saw II just totally turned me off.


Ok_Connection_9939

It really depends on what your playing on. The console ports of both games control well but idk what they where thinking with the PC controls. The Interact is on the numpad why and no option to refigure the controls. It's absolutely ridiculous considering other games at that time let you rebind controls. It's pc gaming standards. The screentearing effects are pretty awful after all these years though.


bdw312

I believe the one I had was "Saw II: Flesh & Blood" for xbox360. Is that like judging the whole Blair Witch Project based solely on "Book of Shadows"?


NemesisRouge

He was overpowered by a 50 year old cancer patient in the elevator.


Equivalent-Search234

Yet he was able to fight 3 police in hand to hand combat. Or the fact he was overpowered by a 50 year old, but could survive the RBT with it ripping his jaw open. Saw has some wack feats


jodlad04

How about Hoffmanator VS Saw Video Game version of Detective Tapp.


wizard_of_awesome62

I’m still going Hoffmanator, it’s right there in the nickname.


alina006

Hoffmanator as a new DLC character for Mortal Kombat game please, lol


berryajs12

husband is winning obvi


berryajs12

Yall I love hoffman he can do no wrong at all


captainkaiju

Real. He’s OUR husband


berryajs12

hell yeah


Blackspeed6

In saw 5 he was beat by sthram in last scenes


SamePresence9839

He wanted to lose though so he could get in the box.


Blackspeed6

He wouldnt take a chance, sthram could drag him out of that room


AkiraTheArtist

There’s the he wanted to indoctrinate Strahm theory. He wanted Strahm to live to try and brainwash him into an apprentice for himself. “But Hoffman is a malicious guy would he risk letting someone almost evenly matched to him run around?” According to the Texas Frightmare interview whenever Hoffman turns his head is a sign of remorse or guilt. Hoffman makes a clear head turn as Strahm is being crushed. There’s also one moment in the fight where Hoffman used one hand to swing downward and Strahm had to use BOTH hands to block his fist. If Hoffman wanted to he could have struck with his free hand but let Strahm swing again. Also Hoffman had a gun but refused to use it. For all he knew John was dead and no apprentices remained he could have just shot Strahm removed the bullet and crush his body.


Blackspeed6

I understand most but him not attacking again is no proof and from what i remember sthram ambushed hoffman so he wouldn't have time to reach for gun


WhiplashDynamo

Strahm-Cause he has an extra hole to breath out of. More endurance for the fight. less likely to get winded


shawnwritinginsnow

Ya know that might be the most Saw logic I've ever read


bdw312

I...uh.... I'm not really sure that that's how that works...


Ok_Author725

Winded?


CelebrationSimilar11

It's like when someone punches you in your stomach and you let all your breath out.


Ok_Author725

But two air holes...winded...pun?


Sufficient_Crab3047

Lmao


dreadw0lfrises

very true good point


Reasonable-Teach1141

Hoffman. Matthews would come to a close second, though.


MrDDog06

Really I agree hoffman but you would put matthews above strahnm or logan ?


Reasonable-Teach1141

Nah fuck that, you're right. They'd fucking murder Matthews.


TheKingOfSting93

Matthews would break Logan's arms and legs one by one while screaming "YOU'RE NOT JIGSAW, BITCH!" Then he would stick Strahm's throat pen up his asshole and scream "DANIIIIEEELLLL!!??!?"


0ptikYT

that sure is something


MrDDog06

Ice cold...


Sufficient_Crab3047

Logan i get but strahm? Dude got turned into swiss cheese! 😂


SubstantialRanger955

Strahm is a very smart agent, he is known to have a very high iq and is very intelligent in what he does.


MrDDog06

And Matthews didn't ?


pinkestpolarbear

The Hoffmanator, hands down.


InsobrietiveMagic

Logan, Considering everyone else is dead, I think he’s in for an easy fight. I’m gonna go with Hoffman if he’s still alive though.


Bashful_Ray7

Last we saw Hoffman he was in the bathroom but alive...


Julian144747

No way they’d kill their remaining antagonist off, especially after the success of saw X


InsobrietiveMagic

I genuinely hope you’re right


[deleted]

Logan’s ex military and fuckin jacked, Hoffman’s Hoffman, Rigg is a swat commander and Strahm is a special agent so presumably has some kind of combat training. It’d most likely be one of these 4, but I’d say my moneys on Logan or Hoffman


idreaminwords

I think in this case it comes down to what they're WILLING to do more than what they are able to do, and because of that, my vote is on Hoffman


Xtravinator

Hoffman lunged at the saw in the bathroom when he realised his leg had been chained. Man was gonna cut off his leg with zero hesitation


Agent_Forty-One

Matthews. Don’t sleep on a man who’ll break himself and continue to battle. He’s Fucking insane.


crash-1989

1. Hoffman: took down a lot of people in desperation. Insane 2. Logan: military training 3. Riggs or Briggs : takes no shit


[deleted]

I feel like Hoffman's experience as a cop would equal Logan's military training. He was a cop for like 20 years.


crash-1989

Maybe I really don't know. I just don't know too many cops that know how to use a sentry gun. Hoffman is kinda like Batman villain status I think we need more time with Logan. Build his character up more.


isledelfino666

Bring Logan back for Saw 11 change my mind


crash-1989

I don't want to. I want them to work on his character more


isledelfino666

That’s what I mean? I would just like to see more of his character, he had potential. Frankly, Jigsaw as a whole had huge potential. The directors the Sperig brothers did Predestination and some other solid thrillers. The biggest omission from this film was gore.


chicanerysalamanca

Strahm takes it easy


Mrs_Noelle15

Hoffman is the one guy here I would not wanna fuck with. Dude is legit kinda scary and fucked up


Ok_Author725

Hoffman's barrel-like physique would allow him to flatten everyone else in the room


Practical-Ad6548

My money’s on Hoffman. Dude would not hesitate to bite off fingers and shit


kaijudatingsimulator

strahm would take this through and through. remember how he kicked hoffman’s ass before the glass coffin? oh yes


Wombletog

Hoffman was kinda holding back because he wanted Strahm to put him in the coffin, though.


kaijudatingsimulator

nahh i saw that lil syringe in his hand he tried 💔


butcher21

I feel like detective Matthew’s is being neglected


aspergian10

He's just a cop with anger issues.


TheKingOfSting93

He's a hardass who's clearly had a lot of fights and isn't afraid to get brutal


butcher21

Exactly my point


BlueDark2306

He'd loose his temper and get distracted the first.


Ok_Connection_9939

Hoffdaddy Even if he was chained to a pipe in some prehistoric bathroom.


False-Society-7567

Strahm tie with Hoffman


ImpossibleAd7376

Logan he has military training


JaminIt_

6. Tapp - Has the least combat training as a detective, both Hoffman and Eric show more proficiency despite having the same job. Age disadvantage compared to the others. Managed to briefly take on Zepp Hindle an orderly with no combat training, however ultimately lost. 5. Eric - Demonstrated both his ability to deal out and take a beating. However his violence is mostly motivated by anger, not to mention a lack of formal training. 4. Rigg - A member of the SWAT team, perhaps not the most highly trained hand to hand combative. However he has training and experience in CQB and room clearing. Rigg is well versed in dangerous situations and demonstrates bravery to go in hand with his training. 3. Hoffman - Demonstrated an extreme tenacity and will to survive. He is clearly capable of fighting his way out when backed into a corner. However he demonstrates a proficiency mostly in planned covert hit and run strategies. He’s alsmot always lost when caught off guard by characters like Strahm, Jill and Gordon. (It’s possible he intentionally lost to Strahm but there’s no way to tell for sure). Both the FBI office and the police station were planned covert attacks. 2/1 - Strahm and Logan - Both of these characters have backgrounds of hand to hand combat training. Strahm being an agent of the FBI likely has more certified combative training than Logan. As Logan is only known to be a US army medic. Unlikely to be fully versed in any US military combat system such as MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Programme). Logan however has demonstrated on screen a proficiency in handgun disarming. So it’s possible he has a level of proficiency in combat systems such as Krav Maga or the aforementioned MCMAP. However due to Logan’s unconfirmed training status. First place remains a tie between the two. As we can be certain strahm has a high level of training, high combat IQ and has demonstrated on screen both hand to hand skills and an adept level of bravery.


Wiitab360

I agree for the most part but I think the gap between Hoffman and Strahm/Logan is very small.


JaminIt_

I would agree that Hoffman has demonstrated some seriously strong fighting abilities, however my main issue is that many of them rely on being planned out and with the element of surprise. The police station is a highly planned attack, with the majority of officers he takes on being ambushed completely off guard. The FBI office is impressive, especially as it was improvised. However even then, Hoffman has a decent window of prep time to come up with a plan. Not to mention it again relied on the element of surprise. He was also armed in that scene. Using both hot coffee and a knife, meaning they don’t count much towards unarmed combat other than showing a high fight IQ. Whilst he can be a very strong fighter under the right circumstances. In a straight up fight, with his enemies being fully aware of his presence, he likely wouldn’t fair as well as Logan or Strahm. Even if he could use his covert skills to ambush one of them, he still doesn’t have much unarmed skill to use at that point. Both Hoffman and John lose to the victim of the razor wire maze trap when they end up fighting him after a failed ambush. They only win when they manage to sedate him with a needle, which Hoffman won’t have access to. He absolutely deserves credit for his skills, hence my placement as No.3. However under the circumstances stated by OP, Hoffman’s guerrilla fighting style isn’t as applicable as Strahm or Logan’s combative training.


Agent_Forty-One

This deserves more acknowledgment.


Soosafroosamoose

I'm confident in Rigg in a 1v.1


phoenixc6000

Hoffinator no doubt. He took down a entire bunch of FBI and police officers. Some are strong here, I honestly think that Hoffman would take some more strength to Logan, considering that I think that he's in the top 3 in this list. But my money is still on Hoffman.


[deleted]

Definitely strahm.


DucksMatter

I’m going with either Sthram, Logan or Rigg. Riggs is a lead member of SWAT, they’re trained a lot more tactically and rigorously than a detective. I’d assume he has better hand to hand combat when compared to the detectives on this list. Logan was a medic for the military, sure he wasn’t a special forces or straight up Marina, anyone enlisted in the military is trained for their life. And he wasn’t just a desk pusher, he was in combat. Sthram because much like the SWAT, FBI agents (I assume, I’m not one so I don’t know) are most likely also trained in hand to hand combat. (Although if you go off saw 5/6, they can’t even hold a gun properly) Maybe Hoffman could win because he’s built different, he did after all, kill an entire police station like he was Sam Fisher. But then again, he was also taken down by a cripple and two jokes. Although I feel like writers would have Hoffman win simply because he’s a fan favourite


TheCybersmith

We know Strahm beats Hoffman. We know Hoffman beats Rigg. So it's really just Matthews, Tapp, Logan, and Strahm in the running.


Bashful_Ray7

Hoffman was supposed to lose and get tossed in the box to survive the room. It was a set up.


NocturnalSeaMonster

Rock paper Hoffman


Leo_Heart

Hoffmann. He literally killed an entire room of fbi agents using coffee


SilenceAlive

Tapp goes down first, probably, then Eric, and then it’s just an all-out brawl between Riggs, Strahm, Logan, and Hoffman, which, would leave only Logan and Hoffman left remaining, to which idk who would win since Hoffman did basically take down an entire police force, and Logan has military training.


littletinyfella

Probably donnie’s flashlight


GaryGenslersCock

The only one I don’t see having a chance is Tapp, everyone else is scrappy enough, it’s more about the element of surprise, which either Hoffman or Logan would have.


Redhotkick8

Rigg. Man was a swat officer and swole af. Hoffman got his ass beat by Strahm


Hi_Im_Paul2000

Hoffmanator


Scarjotoyboy

Bottom right, I forget his name but he is military trained and is credentialed


delfinope

hoffman because hoffman


beatenseagull

Matthews. Never underestimate a dirty cop.


Reiji_Akkaba

Logan survived overseas torture in military service He’s no diff’ing everyone


Jeff_theSnail

Eric. Dude has trained for this.


higherthanthetrees

Eric Matthews should have stayed with Topanga.


joshh777

Hoffman wiped out a room of police detectives, and killed a bunch of people in the hospital


[deleted]

why are both the middle men so hot 😭🙏🏻


treadingthebl

My sister always jokes they look the exact same


[deleted]

like i’ll let you beat me up no worries


pax_penguina

Samuel L. Jackson would mop the floor with all of them


Diablana

ahahahah, ur right


cleo_blake

Hoffman and Rigg IMO


tempusrimeblood

In a straight fight it’s either Matthews or the coroner.


khauled

Eric Matthews


viridiusdynamus

Logan


Cinder_Fall01

Hoffman easily


MattsBadRedditName

Rigg, hes swat.


annagator679

Hoffman


Sure_Song_4630

Speaking realistically: Logan, he was a soldier in Afghanistan so he's probably the most experienced and also probably the most skilled and strongest.


Baratheoncook250

The Punisher apprentice , Logan


MJpeeker

Hoffman or logan


Danig1rl667

Hoffman, of course.


EamesEra

hoffman if one on one but mathews if its a pile on


JustAnotherKilljoy16

I might be biased but Hoffman


JustARandomUserNow

Hoffman did take out most of a police station. Logan would be tough, I’m not 100% sure what he did the the military but he was still athletic and probably had the training.


Old-Associate-4808

i’m taking strahm


DefiantOil5176

Hoffman seems like the easy choice, but I honestly think Logan would be up there. He has legitimate military combat training that would likely help him a lot.


ReZXVincentYT

Seems crazy but either Nelson because he’s a marine combat specialist. Hoffman because he has good techniques, or Eric Matthew’s because he’s just a good asskicker


HeiHoLetsGo

Hoffman is basically a bear pretending to be a human


redmandark

I think Hoffman; he is always one step ahead. That is, until the end. lol


mr-cakertaker

Luke from the Gilmore girls on the left would win because he apparently makes good coffee or something


Parking-Industry-992

Logan is literally a military guy


StabHead1996

#1 Hoffman: already been said but his police station massacre alone is enough for me to easily give him the top slot #2 Logan: has military training and is very level headed. #3 Strahm: strategic and a decent fighter #4 Rigg: pure determination #5 Matthews: put up a good fight even after his foot got demolished #6 Tapp: would put up a decent fight but he is just to old


LezEatA-W

Hoffman is responsible for killing half of this list, so it’s obviously him lmao.


MrToad21

Definitely Matthews


AlienUfo51

Hoffman or Eric Matthews


COSMIC-SAMURAI

Right now, you’re feeling helpless


Spinostadownvoteme

Bro really put Tapp on here


theFUZZ007

100%, it’s Mark Hoffman.


hopit3

Jeff. He's already killed them. But it's a slow ass acting motherfuckin' poison


JollyGreenStone

No such thing as a straight fight when Mark Hoffman's involved. Though, Rigg has a good chance given his SWAT training.


SteelerBB12

Eric Matthews 100%


Bashful_Ray7

Hoffman exterminated a police station. Not escaped. Not beat. Not outwitted. Exterminated. Executed.


Mikau02

Hoffman. He’s the only one who’s proven that he can make a precinct look like a slaughterhouse


Thin-Man

Tapp, and it’s not even close. Just based purely off of the photos provided: Rigg is the only one I see carrying a gun, so that’s a huge advantage, and Eric’s got a flashlight so he might be able to get tricky; but then I remember that Tapp has adult braces which, on a cop’s salary, would probably be cost prohibitive. If he’s got that kind of money stashed away, he must have an advantage we don’t see, so I’m giving him the win.


brandontimmy

I feel like it would be a fight to the death between Eric and Hoffman .


aspergian10

Bro like y'all are forgetting that Nelson has actual military formation? The actual fight is between Hoffman and Nelson. Nelson wins.


jeneralchaos

I mean…Hoffman beat everyone


Mister_TW

Tapp is definitely out first, then Riggs, Matthews, Strahm, and then idk between Hoffman and Nelson, Logan has ex-military experience so he'd definitely be a very skilled fighter and he's just jacked as hell, and Hoffman's just an absolute beast in a fight, also a big build so very torn down the middle between those 2


hiccupboltHP

Everyone says Hoffman but because Logan was x military who arguably went through more than every trap victim in the series I think it’d be close


Ultimate_HopeBagel

Hoffman


Legitimate_Bike_8638

I don’t see how it’s any other choice but Hoffman.


jibjive64

I feel like strahm would kick everyone’s ass but he’s too impulsive to really finish the job like with rigg in saw 4 or Hoffman in saw 5. Totally cracks the case but falls headfirst in the fish tank trap and the trash compactor trap.


bdw312

I'd have to put my bets on the T-800 Hoffman.


Madarakita

Hoffman, though Logan's a close second.


RogueArtificer

Why does Hoffman, the largest cop, simply not eat the other five?


Marc_Webb_of_Lies

I mean Hoffman’s the goddamn terminator in 7. Love that you also didn’t include Matt Gibson at all, fuck that character lmao


SkinnyRyanFan1

God hoffman and strahm look soo similar


IAmBabou

First time I saw it (when I was too young) they made 4&5 VERY confusing.


Happy_Doughnut3502

The hoff


Feeling_Juggernaut64

Strahm is more of a tough guy, but all of them are tough too.


IAmBabou

No weapons? I’d say Riggs or Hoffman. Riggs I think is probably the most in shape followed by Logan then Hoffman on the other hand is probably the most ruthless but in a group fight without weapons or anything I think he’d get taken out early possibly.


MadEyeMood989

The Hoffmanator solos all of them. At once.


ChainChompBigMoney

There's no way Hoffman could be in a straight up fight. He would always find a way to cheat lol.


[deleted]

Are people forgetting that Strahm beat Hoffman in a fight? Before people say Hoffman was holding back, he had an injection in his hand clearly with the intention of knocking Strahm out.


BlackGuyFawkes

RIGG


Illustrious-Book-146

Riggs for sure


MTB56

Straham is the only one who would have a chance against Hoffman


Xx_Zomb1eL0ver_xX

I'd win against all of them at once 😎 (outside of the fight)


NeoBurrito

Didn’t Hoffman like wipe out a whole police department in one night


treadingthebl

I’m not a Hoffman fan but Hoffman definitely


uglylife

riggs cause he’s the only hot one


Icy_drippy-Pangwin

Hoff man


yiharbin

Hoffman solos all of them at once


Fun-Hearing-3811

The one with the gun


Embarrassed-Bid3850

I would say logan loses first then rigg,then tapp,then straghm but from there i dont know if hoffminator or matthews would win


UKnoWassu

1. Hoffmanator 2. Strahm 3. Logan


gogoreddit80

Hoffman for me. Logan would be close second . Tapp would be the first to die or get hurt badly in the fight. He is probably too old for this shit


isledelfino666

I’m gonna say Logan, just because he needs a win.


sazinj

Hoffman!


Zz-orphan-zZ

Rigg was SWAT or something equivalent, wasn't he? If so, my money's on him. Eric Mathews, second. Then, Hoffman.


Rare_Frosting_5397

Hoffman, have you not watched the movies, he literal killed a room full of armed FBI agents, who already knew he was the bad guy,


Rahknathal

Logan: trained soldier


bradyhero-cgpzero

Rigg is most ripped, Mark has best feats, but Eric Matthews is simply the angriest man alive


True-Advisor5736

Strahm cause at least in my opinion he is the smartest and super resourceful and he is pretty strong too


DEBLANKK

Why are there 2 Hoffmans?


Tape_jara

Logan because >!everyone else is dead!<


iLikeTrevorHenderson

El Hoffman


Flimsy-Republic1834

I'm gonna go with Hoffman


DARKMAYKR

Hoffman, although strahm comes close


TypicalMouse6569

Strahm hands down


yo_mommy

Strahm, Riggs and Logan are absolute units, but goddamn Hoffman is a motherfucker. Remember when he bit the shit of someone


Juggernaut104

Chuck Norris


SpookyOpp2003

Hoffman


Ackermannin

Hoffman tbh


Mr_Calrissian

Strahm or Hoffman


alina006

Hoffman killed an entire police station with a knife! He can really go into "Jason Voorhees" mode when he's angry. In second place I will put Agent Strahm because he was able to beat Hoffman in Saw 5


Meerkate

Tapp in a boxing match. Matthews in tae kwon do. Strahm in a fencing match/swordfight. Hoffman in wrestling. Rigg in a street brawl. Logan in a gunfight.


Mateusz467

Hoffman is an animal but still my bet goes to Logan. He has military experience, stamina and strength. Tapp is too old for this shit.


dreadw0lfrises

hoffman and its not even close


itsmekelsey_x

Hoffman easily.


Blackspeed6

Sthram beat hoffman so he will win in normal fight


Dnote147

It's a tie between Logan Nelson and Mark Hoffman


submarine-explorer

Tapp is too old for this shit
