And there you go dancing around The Goblin Slayer actually having fighting skill and just saying why Homebrew isn't skilled.

Mocvol is a Goliath Barbarian who constantly uses Berserk Moding to do massive damage. He doesn't do his stuff with skill, he just beats stuff to death.

Having spells does not make you good hand to hand.

Ael has actually shown the most skill by virtue of fighting a general 1v1, but the notion of him being likely to fight a big opponent is bravery, not actual fighting skill.

It's definitely more Sembalence of skill then a guy who does not get as many kills in quick succession when being flooded with opponents and rather just faces at Max 5 at a time.

The Goblin Slayer is a veteran... But, the show presents him as more of a hunter then just a straight up fighter. He uses tricks to 1 up the opposition, he uses the bodies of slain enemies to clear out a downhill hallway, he uses fire to burn an entire settlement from extremely far away. All of these are skill, but not in fighting. He avoids massive scale fights in favor of taking a few at a time and deliberately avoiding ambuses. He's not like some John Wick sort of fellow who can walk in, shoot a ton of people and walk out just fine, he works smarter, not harder.

Meanwhile, he's in a straight up fight where he hasn't shown nearly as many capabilities. Trying to light the joint on fire doesn't work nearly as well in a fight where you're only a few meters away from the person you're trying to kill. Or... I guess in this case, Gobby's range stretches quite a bit into the distance, though he inevability wouldn't be able to see Bayhard due to him not having Type 2 Large Size.

And when they get enough to see each other, Bayhard has shown to be able to deal with subsonic projectiles just fine, so it'll have to ultimately come down to them hand to hand.

Both equally don't have that impressive showings, but one has 2 weapons to use in conjunction and an AP advantage.
