Wonder Woman vs. Psylocke

Diana doesn't get super speed or her lasso.

That is, assume, for the thread's sake, that they have equal speed.

Diana.

Ka-stomp, WW's favor.

Strength, telepathy resistance, toughness to ignore her physical attacks, skill to outfight her.

Stomp? Nein.

She's not the more skilled, and the telepathy is unimportant. Her toughness would also fall short versus the psychic katana.

Diana has done fairly well with psychic attacks before, even more powerful than bettsy.

Like I said, telepathy is unimportant, so that's irrelevant.

The katana is telekinetic in nature.

I'd think she's the more skilled.

And Psylocke's toughness would fall short vs anything she has.

But she still gets her bracers, right? So she could (and probably would) block Psylocke's psi-blade with the bracers, given that they have equal speed.

Um, you kind of forgot to take away WW's HUGE strength advantage. Diana can KO her with a blow. And the katana will meet the aegis bracers.

This IS a stomp.

Yes, I gathered that, but it's incorrect. Psylocke was among the top (though probably Di's inferior) prior to recently receiving mystically a lifetime's worth of training from Ogun in the span of a few hours, to the point where she was capable of besting him. So, no, she's very much as skilled.

Psylocke's also been shown to be capable of parrying and glancing blows or amping her speed and strength with her telekinesis. IF Betsy makes this a hand to hand confrontation, she has been shown to be capable of dodging opponents who could end her in one strike via clever TK use. Thanks to her katana, she only needs one strike that Diana can't block, and Psylocke can ALSO use all of the environment to her advantage (a tactic which she has utilized in the past, again through clever TK use).

So, once again, not a stomp.

How many years does diana have for trainig? Thousands or whatever. I'd say Diana is a little more skilled, because of that experience, but not by much.

Is it just speed or reflexes too?

I'd say it should make her more skilled, but, based on feats, that is not the case.

Diana's more powerful, Psylocke's more versatile, and it seems that they could both realistically end this in one strike.

I'm not even giving an opinion, just saying it's not a stomp.

Though we have not seen to much of her since, from what I have seen and what that training means I wager she more skilled now.

Reflexes too. All equalized.

I want to say Psylocke.

Hm, what about flight? She's been known to use that to her tactical edge.

Ok, maybe not a stomp, but I still give Diana the edge. With the bracers, her defense is hard to beat, and she can use her strength to her advantage in a variety of ways.

WW stomps

Psylocke can stay at range and use TK bullets if she has too. Negating Wonder Woman's speed puts her at a disadvantage, Betsy is too versatile.
