I'd roll with limited pre-cog ala Spiderman or Mr. X. Cain's skill won't do me a damn bit of good if I don't have her training and/or reflexes. Actually come to think of it neither would do me much good without the requisite reflexes to make full use of them

thats y i stated with all things being equal...ieven a baseline human who could body read would be able to simulate super human reflexes by dodging blows from another human before they connected
Limited Precog would be my choice as well. Although Spideys tends to vary, it'd help to sense say, an oncoming traffic collision, an ambush etc. More then just combat applications, but danger to my person overall.
Spider Sense can even detect disease and stuff, so it's pretty useful. But it's also limited by Peter's ability to interpret the signals he's receiving. Cass's skills are much more consistent, as she can basically read someones mind like a telepathic simply by how they move, even up to complex thoughts..
Spider Sense only detects dangers, though. Body reading would be useful for cutting through peoples bs, like reading a used car salesman, a politician, or a tradesman working on your house.. Not to mention finally being able to read a woman, instead of guessing all the time..
Each ability has It's own strengths and drawbacks. In my case, prolly due to my occupation, fear of the unknown -accidental death or dismemberment- is probably what would drive me more then wanting to read a chicks body language. Even if its to an almost preternatural degree. Besides, that's what the "mystery method" is for

Pre-cog trumps it hard. CC can't predict something she can't see. For example, an attack from behind. Also she can't predict something like a programmed mechanical gun firing a laser or other attacks that have nothing to do with body movement.

yes but i was referring to its applications in actual combat, as i stated in my example of Casssie vs Peter...with all things being equal, my argument is wouldnt they potentially cancel each other out? Since both would pretty much know what the other was planning prior to the engagement, the fight would end up being a series of feints, and potentially end in a standstill
