Ip Man (Film Series)

==Summary==
The Ip Man Tetralogy is a series of Hong Kong biographical martial arts films starting with Ip Man in 2008 and followed by three sequels – Ip Man 2 (2010) and Ip Man 3 (2015) and Ip Man 4 (2019). All four films are directed by Wilson Yip, written by Edmond Wong, produced by Raymond Wong and star Donnie Yen. Mandarin Films released the first two films in Hong Kong, which earned more than $37 million with a budget of around $24.6 million. The films are based on the life events of the Wing Chun master of the same name. Donnie Yen has mentioned each film has a unique theme, that the first Ip Man film was about "Survival", Ip Man 2 focuses on "Making a Living and Adaptation", while Ip Man 3 focuses on "Life" itself.
==Power of the Verse==
The Ip Man Tetralogy is very much like the real world, with most of their main characters shining as comparable if not superior to the strongest humans in real life in combat. Most characters sit comparably at Street level, while Ip Man and those of similar power are at least well into Street level+. As for speed and strength, most prevalent characters are Peak Human, with most characters being able to react and attack at speeds possibly even reaching out to Superhuman. The verse especially with its top tiers demonstrate most impressively in skill, with IP Man himself being able to take on tens of armed men and martial artists while holding back. Many characters are able to pose a more impressive challenge than those said men which would make them comparable to IP Man's skill.
==Calculations==
===Attack Potency===
====Master Z====
*Master Z Cheung sends Owen Davidson flying through a large glass panel - 14,218.67203 to 27,839.96647 Joules, (Street level+ to possibly Wall level)
====IP Man====
*Cheung Tin Chi carves through granite with a staff - 14221.204845834 Joules, (Street level+)Ip Man 3 (film)
*IP Man sends a man flying into a thin wooden wall - 9078.30 J Joules, (Street level+)
*Jin Shan Zhou destroys a portion of a table - 6810.452266 Joules, (Street level)
*Cheung Tin Chi cracks a table - 6482.947699 Joules, (Street level)Ip Man 3 (film)
*A karate champion chopped large pieces of concrete to dust - 4428.07377 Joules, (Street level)Ip Man 4 (film)
*IP can casually break a chair - 2680.6788 Joules, (Street level)
===Combat Speed and Reactions===
*Ip Man hyakuretsuken - 11.176 to 14.30528 m/s, (Peak Human, possibly to Superhuman)
Top tiers (Twister, Frank, IP Man, Geddes, Wong, and Hung) of the four IP Man movies who fought and were extremely relative to IP Man scale to Cheung Tin Chi who carve through granite with a staff, and IP Man's normal strikes that send those flying through wooden wall which are Street level+. They should also extend to Cheung Tin Chi's lower end Master Z feat which he executed in a powerful kick.
Mid Tiers like Colin, Jin, and General Miura (although much closer to IP Man than the former two) backscale but are comparable to the feat above, but sit far more comfortably at Street level with Jin being able to break a portion of a table.
Master Z with Cheung should previously scale to his previous self but now accounts for possibly in the Wall level range for kicking Owen Davidson through a glass panel, with Owen Davidson being physically superior to Cheung who did this.
Most of the characters who have fought IP Man have his combat and reactions speeds from Hyakuretsuken, being comparable in some light. Ranging from Hung matching his combat speed, to Jin only narrowly being able to dodge and parry strikes from IP Man.
