Does Cap get a gun?
If Nuada stalks Cap and forces him to throw the shield he is screwed!
I'm giving this to Nuada depending on whether if Cap holds onto his shield.
Cap's feats in Avengers in regards to when he passively blocked laser from the sky and killed two Chitauri atop the cop car comes into effect.
His struggling with the Chitauri trying to bomb the civilians also does.
Nuada showed great speed and skill avoiding sword swipes then proceeding to slide and kill many sentries to eventually kill his target. And Cap will fall to having a sword forced into his heart.
But a shield toss from Cap could really turn things in his favor. He's more than fast/skilled/evasive enough to last against Nuada for the 2-3 seconds it takes for his shield to bounce back. And then Nuada gets cracked in the back of the head. It could also potentially cut him deeply or slice a body part off.

He's too skilled for that. And for arguments sake when did Cap perform a returning shield hit on film?
I'll admit good call if you can show one.
I agree on the return speed of the shield though. He catches that thing hell fast on occasion after launch.
I haven't given up on Cap.
Several times in that fight alone. Pretty good with the ricochet. And as skilled as Nuada is, he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, and his focus would be on Cap. And he's incredibly arrogant in his fighting style, he'd just think Cap missed and press the attack, then get shield whacked.
Here again against Loki, ricocheting it off Loki himself. And the only reason he could knock the shield off course is because his strength outmatched Cap's. I doubt Nuada could do the same.

One feat.
I knew there was at least one feat. Nice one. Though the feat exists within an environment with many angles and the shield hit the HYDRA agent quite quickly, I give you that but took 5 SECONDS to reach Cap again???
This fight takes place in the middle of a road. How far apart they are is unknown.
If Cap's one ricochet feat (that takes 5 seconds) can hit Nuada whilst he burns in to kill him without any resistance. I'll be surprised.
Cap better hold onto that shield.
Cap releasing his sole weapon that Nuada change his momentum in movement as he runs in to deal the death blow?
The reason it took so long seems to be because of the angle it hit the soldier and how it bounced off his armor. But while it took a bit to get back to him, it's the fact that it hit the soldier that counts. Cap will be aiming at Nuada, and when Nuada gets hit, he'll be disoriented in the least, because his durability isn't that great. A clean hit would probably ko him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KFWTL_66Yf0#t=153s - Here's another example of his skill with ricochet shots.
And the "middle of the road" in New York still means cars, light poles, mailboxes, signs, and tons of other things to bounce the shield off of.
And Cap fighting against Loki proves he can hang with opponents of that caliber.
Loki remained stationary during his fight with Cap though.
He had a superiority complex. And wanted to get captured.
He deflected the shield undoubtedly due to the fact that he can tangle with Thor.
Nuada sensed and ducked the sentries assault at 57 seconds into the fight of the OP's video.
He has nothing else to focus on except Cap's shield.
The guy could perceive a drop in the air and cut it in twain.
This is a good fight.
It's easy to say he was better when he was drunk and Nuada had a 5+ foot long spear and Hellboy was unarmed.
However, when he was sober and undistracted, he had the advantage for most of the match, and won. As fo rusing the environment, he did, but so did Nuada.
And Hellboy was the one who damaged Nuada's arm, Ninjak. And that made Abe Sapien realize the link between Nuada and Nuala was physical as well as mental.
The 2nd vid also shows that even when focused on an opponent, he can be taken off guard from behind.
Hellboy beating Nuada was more a case of "Hero always beats the villain" syndrome. This is a common problem whenever we use Villains in vs. matches. I mean, Nuada was fast enough to cut a rain drop in two and yet somehow the lumbering Hellboy was able to match all of his attacks?
Anyway, plot bias aside, I give this match to Nuada. The guy has centuries more experience than Cap, has shown way better combat feats in h2h (taking on those elven swordsmen was a better display than any I remember Cap doing), and IMO his magical spear is a better fighting weapon than the shield.
As for throwing the shield and ricocheting to come back... Nuada was successfully able to beat multiple swordsmen, some of them launching attacks at his back. I don't think it would be that easy to get a trick shot into him.

Hellboy would've been screwed I believe if Hellboy didn't have ground to adapt.

Unfortunately none of those characters are present in this fight. Being Nuala and Sapien.

Not when all that exists in the fight is a street and Cap and his shield. Not an environment full of cogs and pieces rotating around.
Though I must admit, it was BS Hellboy sneaking up on him at that point.
