Why would he get the first shot? And even if he did.....Gambit has been shown to throw a card at least fifty feet per second......at LEAST. On top of that.....there are more ways for Gambit to defeat Slade than there are for Slade to defeat Gambit.
Slade is physically superior with a HF and a enhanced mind. Slade is also a far better combat strategist and more skilled martial artist.
Imo Deathstroke would defeat Gambit with little effort. Slade' old armor suit can stand up to a lot of explosive impact as seen in Deathstroke annual vol. 1 #2. His new armor would hold up little better. The damage he sustains can be dealt with via his HF. But Slade won't get caught in many explosive attacks anyway because he's very fast and agile.
Slade will just find a way to use whatever weakness Gambit has against him. And it won't take Slade long to figure out a plan in mid battle. His mind works like a computer when it comes to information processing.

How can his armor hold up to an explosion, when it's his armor that is being blown up? It's not like a grenade is going off nearby; his suit is being turned into the grenade.
That's what I'm referring to. A grenade like explosion or him throwing a few charged cards of course.
But you are saying that Gambit can charge his armor. Well if he's getting that close to do it, whats stopping Slade from gutting him with a knife, snapping his neck or holding on to him? Slade's not some stupid fighter who won't take advantage of a situation like that. Slade will be f#$%ed up after but Gambit will be dead.

Gambit's own speed and skill, it's not like Gambit is some slow and unskilled fighter. I mean it's not like Gambit needs more than a fraction of a second to a few seconds charge things.
Green Arrow, Black Canary, Hawkman, Nightwing, and Cassandra are fast and skilled too. But even in numbers all of that skill still wasn't enough. JLA got lucky. But they went down hard before ganging on Slade. Batman is far more skilled than Gambit and he couldn't out fight Slade neither or get past his physical advantages. I don't see Gambit pulling it off. Deathstroke is his better.

And when they got close, how many of them did Slade gut with a knife, or snap their necks?BTW, Slade had prep with the JLA fight.
Well remember his is a forum battle and not a comic where the hero most likely will not die at the hands of the villain. And Since Slade is willing to kill and has killed in almost ever way seen on panel (including gutting and stabbing through opponents). I think to myself, why not? Slade is faster and stronger. He would overpower Gambit in close quarters combat.

So, who is the weakest person that can beat Deathstroke in a forum battle?
There are physically weaker opponents who could defeat him. But it would take other factors like TP, TK, magic etc. Gambit' powers are good. But that attack you used to me is a desperation move that would f$%^ Slade up. But I'm sure it wouldn't end the fight.
Most fighters like Nightwing try to stick and move. Because of Slade' physical advantages. So just as fast as Gambit can charge, Slade can grab and throw, hold on to or attack Gambit with his staff. Tbh Slade can tag him with the power staff before Gambit even gets close enough.
