Lady shiva vs. Blade
Fight takes place in a UFC style arenra only 4 times bigger. Along the caged walls are weapons to be used. Weapons include a broadsword, battle axe, spear, sai, throwing knives, katanas, setsukon (3-sectional staff), and (shuriken) throwing stars.
Note: Blade's standard equipment are not permitted. Only the weapons listed above are permitted.
So who takes it?

You don't understand the arguments being put forth by the Blade side. You are misrepresenting their arguments.

This is exactly the kind of thing Shiva does. She's a warrior. She would love to test her skills against Blade's.
Blade is an expert in edged weapons.

Isn't Shiva considered a top-tier weapons expert in DC?
Yes, she is "considered" a top-tier weapons expert in DC, but does she have any feats that would validate that opinion? Not really. As it stands her proficiency with weaponry is largely hearsay.
That being said Shiva has never been humiliated in sword play by a random nobody vampire and had her skills called weak faltout.

Iirc she fought Katana with swords once for the purpose of trying to take Katana's sword, and it was mentioned the reason why Shiva didn't use weapons normally is almost none would be worthy to be wielded by her but Katana's would be an exception to that.
Also in her big Batgirl matchup, they actually started out with swords but they were shattered early in the fight, so not too helpful. I think Cass has been seen using swords a bit more often (even having them as standard gear during her time on the JL Elite), but there have been a few times when Shiva's used a blade or other weapon.

A nobody vampire who failed to take over a city with a virtually non existence superhero presence. Blade got punked and then cheap shotted him while he was distracted.

you can say it over and over again, that doesn't make it right. We know he was over 300 years old and vampires get more powerful with age.
I love how
dr. voodoo
black panther
monica rambeau
luke cage
and blade
all count for zero superhero presence.
even this guys minions almost took out luke cage and t'challa before blade showed up to help. But lets use this one instance to determine Blade's swordsmanship. Talk about lowballing.
