Dana Vs River Tam

[white avenger]

Joss' two mentally challenged ladies, both, in their own universes, superb fighters, one capable of facing down vampires and demons, the other able to single handedly defeat a room full of insane, adrenalin charged, cannibalistic zombies.

In a head to head fight, no weapons, no back up, who takes the prize?

My money's on River. Dana might be stronger, almost certainly is, in fact, but physical strength isn't always the deciding factor in this kind of fight. River is fast and seems to be more than able to hold her own against a more powerful opponent, We never actually saw Dana do anything, and I almost never bet on unknown factors. Or fighters.

River was made to fight, rather than just being amped up with aggression, so I'll choose her 🙂

 

[Marisa]

My money is on River. Actually my money is usually on River she is super strong and smart and seems to pick up things before we even see her do it.

 

[Washburne]

In this fight I'd easily chose River. Dana might be stronger but as you pointed out, in a fight there's so much more that's important.

Actually my money is usually on River she is super strong

Is she? Or do she use her body and strenght in the best (or close to) possible way?

So embarrassing that I need to ask. :blush:

Do they get tools? Because if Dana is drugging folks... well that shakes my confidence in River a bit. I like this... sort of cavemen vs spacemen for feminists... but yeah... if tools are out River's cunning wins hands down (no pun intended).

 

[Taake]

My money's on River too... I mean she's like made to fight, effortlessly, every move nearly becomes deadly. Dana is very strong and has an innate fighting capability but judging by "Damage" she seems to rely more on brute force. I think River would fight circles around Dana, slightly nutty though they both may be 🙂

I would go with Dana, as she has super powers, River was awesome, but still just a human at the end of the day.
