Your Seals aren't that great. A friend of mine was in the British army, though he's retired now. There was a training exercise that he was involved in (Observing, not combat). One of the fights was between a US Navy Seals unit and a TA unit*. Guess who wiped out the other side, with only two 'casualties'?
Yeah, it wasn't the Yankee Doodles.
*TA = Territorial Army. Basically, the British version of the National Guard.
Ahahha, the Seals are pretty bad ass but in the official ranking world wide they're tier 3, not tier 1. Not as good as everyone thinks, it's got lots to do with movie hype and the stories of the hardcore insanely bad ass Seals that are turned into books.

I absolutely despise this show. When comparing one SOME of the weapons are of the same caliber, the experts on said warriors and their weapons tend to be of varying skill levels and knowledge. The forced weapon categories are simply idiotic. Look at any warrior and you can see at least one weapon on each side that was rarely used, possibly in only a handful of instances but put in because it the only weapon they had for that category. The tactics/strategies of the warriors are completely ignored and make any battle, simulated or not largely based on opinion and barely based on fact.
That all being said I like to sit down with friends who have basic knowledge of the warriors battling, have some beers and rip apart the shows idealism as we go into comparison and decide for ourselves. It's great fun in that manner.

(Shiren) The Underground Stream Village, last floor I lost nearly half my inventory due to being cornered by two Super Gaze's. Hypnosis = You screwed. No turning back, and I'm ready to die.
And Spider-Man 2, still love just swinging around the skyscrapers.
Best part of that whole game. If more games had super fun travel powers like that with super actiony, insane fun like a damn good brawler ( I like The Warriors set up) nobody would give a damn about plot!
