His main abilities are is he has moderately superhuman stats (he's fast, strong, etc., though not so much a human can't keep up) and the 'ultimate eye,' which lets him see all of an opponent's movements and uses that to tell when to attack and what opponents are going to do before they do them.

Laura, fts.

Pinned.

Wrath is, first of all, superhuman.

Able to easily dodge bullets after they are fired, even without the use of the Ultimate Eye.

Physically, he possessed the strength to cut through a tank with his sword, can easily bisect normal humans, and stuff.

His Ultimate Eye essentially lets him see the future, allowing him to predict the actions his opponent is going to take, making him a force in melee combat.

He is a skilled fighter, preferring to dual wield two thin sabers, but often keeping as much as eight swords on hand.

Also, nah, normal humans cannot keep up with Wrath physically... Not that it matters, in FMA, there are humans who can punch with greater force than artillery shells from tanks.

Here's a video of Wrath vs a regenerator (and the backup the regenerator gets at one point are mildly superhuman beast people).

I guess I should say "highly trained ninja can keep up with Wrath physically," at least to a limited extent.

When he doesn't utilise alchemy isn't Scar technically a normal human?

Wrath sounds quite beastly, but the video doesn't put him out of X-23's league. I don't know much about FMA, so here are some questions I think are quite important here.

Does he have any extra abilities? How good is his damage soak? Does he have a healing factor? Has anyone ever outmaneuvered his Ultimate Eye? If yes, how was the eye outmaneuvered? Does he have any CIS style limitations?

He'll be dead before that eye patch gets removed.

The eye patch doesn't have to be removed for the ultimate eye to work.

ahhh, you're right.

Still, he can't put her down, their speed/agility is probably equal, I'd give her the edge in MA ability and she has a HF which would ultimately give her the win because even if he stabs/cuts her, she'll get him too and he won't be able to heal.

I will note his preference for severing limbs in a single blow.

Also, here's a running speed example of his rush, 1:50 in until 4 min or so.

The fighters he faces are pretty badass.

Also in the video I just link it has a fighter staying on his blind side as much as possible (while the eyepatch is on, the Ultimate Eye doesn't serve as a normal eye too well, though he still gets it's benefits from the normal eye. Ditch the patch and then that's not as much of an issue).

If someone's out of sight, the eye power is, obviously, less helpful.

Are we talking about wrath from brotherhood or the
original anime?

Brotherhood/manga Wrath (aka original anime Pride) seemed to be the one the nominator was talking about, not the alchemist Wrath.

Hmm I haven't kept up to well with the manga but
if he is anything like is pride counterpart he shoul win this
but either way his speed should get him more hits
as long as he slashes and retraets very fast and repetitivy
but if he gets an occasional swipe or stab he will
eventually go down due to not enough
damage being done

Wrath anal probes her vastly more skilled and experienced though technically he is only "human" he's too much for X-23 in 1 on 1.

Honestly I'm leaning to X. She has speed like Wolverine's, is super agile, and the adamantium is a nice edge. I could see her losing a limb in the process but I'd still bet on Laura.

His reflex feats are better than hers imo if we use Wolverines feats i would agree

I dunno, when they fought against each other (in which he said he got serious), or side-by-side, they seem pretty even by me.

Also her training included literally copying him move-for-move at some points.

At the least, they're very close.
