I'm trying to gauge just how good Gamora and Nebula are in a melee fight. How far do you think they'll get in this gauntlet?

Fight takes place in Grandmaster's arena. Assume all weapons are indestructible. The sisters get fully healed after every fight. Both of them are armed with twin swords. Their opponents will be:


1. Black Widow and Okoye - BW has her twin electric batons and Okoye has her spear. No energy blasts for Okoye, pure melee only.

2. Daredevil and Black Sky - twin batons for DD, twin sais for Black Sky

3. Captain America and Killmonger - twin vibranium claw shields for Cap like he had in IW, machete and short spear for Killmonger. Killmonger has taken the purple flower but doesn't have a nanite suit.

4. Ironman and Loki - Ironman has his sword and is allowed to use his combat AI but isn't allowed any other weaponry. His flight is limited to short 20 meter bursts. Loki has his twin long knives but isn't allowed any illusions.

5. Thor and Gladiator Hulk - Thor has Stormbreaker but isn't allowed to use any other powers. Hulk is armed with the hammer and axe he had in Ragnarok.




How well do the sisters do?

IMO, they would make it to round 3 at least (becomes iffy with Cap and Killmonger after that). But them getting that far is more to do with their superior overall stats to the first 2 teams as opposed to superior skill. Black Sky Elektra is the only one of the first bunch with strength/durability somewhere in their range. As skilled as Matt is, for example, his billy clubs aren't going to do any kind of lasting damage to Nebula whatsoever, who has healing/regeneration on top of her other stats, which seem comparable to Gamora.

Yeah well, I wanted to give the sisters a few giveaway fights to boost their confidence before slamming them with stiffer competition.

Well, if nothing else, Nebula seemed able to pressure Thanos (at least in terms of speed and skill, if not strength or durability) when she arrived on Titan, IIRC. And Gamora > Nebula in skill. Thanos also mentioned that she "nearly succeeded" in assassinating him before being captured, during another scene. Unfortunately, we never see it happen, so have no idea how she managed to do this. Obviously, if she did it via some kind of sneak attack (which, quite frankly, seems the likely case IMO), it won't apply to a straight fight.

argh.. they stop at three
