X-23 vs. Kitty Pryde (X-Men Forever)

Laura vs. Shadowcat from alternate reality with Wolverine's claw.

vs.

(and yes, Thor was bleeding like a virgin after that stab 😛)

Kitty stomps.
616 Kitty stomps too. I just read the Fire and Flame mini and it's definitely been established that she retained her Ogun training.
The other alternate Kitty (trained by Emma) also stomps. She'd phase her claws right out of her arm.

Enhanced senses can give X at least a few wins, imo.

Silver Samurai gave her mad props in that mini. In the Schism event she mentioned her swordsmanship training with Logan, too.

I do think Laura is the more skilled (Kitty's *good*, just not as good), but the phasing is tough to deal with.

True, it is. She needs to be solid if she wants to strike her though and CIS plays an important factor here (meaning she won't go for a kill, at least not from the start).
