My initial thoughts too, but look back at Mamba's fighting record. The fights she won, her opponent had no gun, and when she fought Bud, he pwned her with a double barrel shotgun. Copperhead should have had her, but she made the mistake of shooting through the cereal box, throwing off the trajectory of the bullet.
That's idiotic. Those were fights between deadly assassins who had worked together for years and could probably sense or inuit the others' moves.
To get a real reference you need to look at Kill Bill Vol. 1, where she owned approximately 60-70 relatively inexperienced swordsmen (much like Cherry hardly knows what she's doing) and hardly blinking an eye.
Cherry doesn't have a chance.
See, the thing is, they wouldn't. That's not the point. Whether someone in the Crazy 88 might have wielded a gun has nothing to do with anything.
Pit a supremely talented and rigorously trained assassin against a former pole dancer who happens to have a machine gun for a leg, and you get a pretty easy kill for the Bride.

We all saw what happened to Mamba when someone was smart ebough to pull a gun, and what happened with her and Bud, her getting pwned, I could have done that just as easy as he did.
Originally posted by StrangeloveCherry wouldnt have to know she is coming, they are facing off against each other. Unless Mamba gets in close with her sword, or fires before Cherry unleashes with her FAR superior firepower, she stands to lose.
You'd have had to know she was coming, for one thing. Which you wouldn't unless you had worked alongside her for ages.Face it dude, Cherry's impressive and all, but she doesn't have the ovaries to take on Kiddo and prevail.
Remember the hotel room scene in Kill Bill 2? Kiddo is a superior marksman, and two legs are a lot faster than a leg and big hunk of metal (also taking into account Kiddo's cat-like reflexes and agility). Either of the scenarios you describe:
Mamba gets in close with her sword
or fires before Cherry unleashes with her FAR superior firepowerare entirely possible. In fact, more likely that Cherry actually getting off a shot before Kiddo takes her out.
You're arguing the losing side.

Well I wasn't aware that was part of the battle.
Regardless, Cherry doesn't have the wherewithal to counter anything Kiddo can do, no matter how familiar she is with Mamba. If Kiddo gets in close enough where Cherry's machine gun is useless (which she would without breaking a sweat), Cherry could do nothing to stop Kiddo. Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. Cherry's dead. Kiddo wins.
Originally posted by StrangeloveWell, remember the scene in PT when Cherry uses the grenade launcher to propel herself over the wall? All she would have to do is the same, but backwards, firing as she went. I really dont see Mamba winning that easily.

🙄 You really must get a hard on from dragging out shit.
Bottom line - no matter what happens, I believe that Beatrix Kiddo will win in the end. Most people would agree. I've given my reasons, and your reason (singular) is that Cherry has a machine for a leg. She is hopelessly outmatched against a master assassin like Black Mamba.
I'm done.
