I absolutely agree we don't have enough data (I wonder if we'll ever have, since the manga is on hiatus again), but it was just to speculate.

1. Says Netero was in his youth, but it is unknown afterward, I believe. Anyway, Ging did show a fragment of his might in the manga, but only against small fries, so it was over pretty quickly.

2. I agree Hisoka would win if they were to fight, only I think they wouldn't. Not to mention Hisoka is the perfect embodiment of Morel's commandment.

3. Crystal clear, and I am glad you are one of those who agree that Feitan is not invincible.

5. I think you are mistaken, it's Ginta who scored 90 in HIsoka's evaluation. Though he does seem the most capable of the Zodiacs.

6. I am a little too convinced of Machi's strength, being one of the people that turn our judge (hisoka) on, reacting when Feitan failed, and claiming she would kill a persona capable of murdering Chrollo, but I also reckon that Cheadle did not reply simply because she deemed Pariston's lie obvious to some and fruitless, since she predicted Leorio was going to win. Moreover, she does not look like someone who would interrupt a speech only to say "that's not true, I'm stronger than that". Even Pariston keeps stating how weak he is, but in the manga you get the impression he really isn't (off-topic: I think he falls in the Specialization category: this way he could have an ability that, why apparently useless for combat, could actually make him lethal when used properly).

7. That's true, but I am not sure he can attack someone who is trapped. But yes, if he actually stays and fight, he would likely win.

8. A competent swordsman could block the sword, though, and Saccho looks too experienced not to notice Nobunaga's En. Unless they fight in the dark, it seems to me Saccho has the advantage. Then again, if we only know more about their abilities...

12. His (Kalluto was confirmed to be male) paper attack is also slow, but I am sure he has more serious techniques. Anyway, I can't envision him standing a chance against a pro Hunter like Piyon.

A plus for me or you? Kidding, I got it. Thank you a lot for going through all the trouble of replying!
