No, well, we all know it made her stronger. But, Buffy had been the Slayer for 7 years, and Willow had been evil for 2 episodes. That doesn't compare. I think Buffy just didn't want to hurt her best friend so she went easy on her.
 
Buffy was probably holding back a little but Willow was strong like she said "Now I get to be the slayer"
 
Yeah. I remember that. Maybe I'm not expressing my thought right.... lol... nevermind.
 
Better Fighter - Buffy
Better Slayer - Buffy

Truth be told, I didn't think Faith fought good at all. Buffy always kicked butt though. Her technique is awesome, and great.
 
Buffy was better in that she UNDERSTOOD her job. She knew what she had to do and got it done. faith was very reckless and was really into the "fun" of slaying. Buffy also really perfected her technique, faith just wanted to go out and fight. they were both good in their own right, but Buffy took it much more seriously
 
I think there is a lot of things that go into being the "perfect" Slayer. ANd I guess how serious you are is one of them too.
 
Which 2 people voted yes to Faith? yeah Faith's a kewl slayer but I would never call her the better slayer. She killed a man and even went evil for a season or 2.
 
Buffy is technically stronger from her "baptism" in "Prophecy Girl." Faith could wear anyone out in a fight, but Buffy doesn't let her get that far when they fight...
 
slayerangel - how do you mean she was stronger after her "baptism" in Prophecy Girl?

After she is revived in "Prophecy Girl," Buffy is suddenly stronger. Watch the ep again and it's evident. In the "Bad Girls" audio commentary, Doug Petrie states that drowning is a form of baptism in BUFFY. That's why after the vamp tries to drown Buffy in "Bad Girls," she comes up more like Faith and drastically changing her behavior. BtVS has a lot of religion in the show, but it's hnot usually noticed. The drowning in "Prophecy Girl" was Joss's form of a baptism and Buffy is revived stronger than she had been and more powerful.

I voted for Faith, but I think Buffy is the better fighter/Slayer.

She killed a man, sure, but as Angel said, she got a taste of what it was like to kill without remorse and to do that is to feel like a god. Faith gave into darkness, which is always pulling at the Slayer, when Buffy chose not to. Faith didn't intentionally kill that man, and I'm not trying to justify murder, either, but Faith went too far and it's not entirely her fault, IMO. Faith and Buffy are very simiar as they were once only two girls isolated from the world, but Buffy grew up with loving family and friends when Faith didn't have a chance to, so she acted out and she felt good having all that power as a Slayer and in her view, could live the life she felt she could be happy in and she had slipped into darkness, but she made up for that. Don't think of dark/evil Faith. She's good now (yet still a bad girl).
 
So, does that mean when Anya, Tara, Xander, and Willow resurrected her, she came back stronger again?
 
Now, I'm confused. So, because she was drowned in a pool of dirty water, she came back stronger. So, does this mean all the newbie Slayers are going to drown themselves so they become stronger. Someone please explain in stupid people terms for me.
 
lmao Parker about the drowning of all the slayers. hehe. That made my day ya little goof. 😛
 
What? LoL. It's a valid question... maybe that's why Kendra died.. she hadn't showered yet that day...
