2 of the most badass Martial artist in their respective universe.
Shiva gets standard gear: shuriken, daggers, katana.
Storm Shadow get standard Ninja gear: shuriken, 2 katana
I think Lady Shiva takes it. Wasn't she regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, martial artists in DC? Her ability to read body language would help immensely in this fight.
Pretty sure there are comic versions of SS beyond Shiva. Like f*cking up Decepticons and other transformers with ease.
There was also I think a version of Snake Eyes(and they're pretty much peers) who cut through several enemy ninja so fast that their bodies didn't realize they were dead and they still tried to move.
I don't see many scans floating around of the older GI Joe or even Transformer comics.. Mind you I see alot more transformer than the other but nothing of much relevance (for me anyway)
Well I'm not the *most* familiar with Storm Shadow, I am under the impression that he and Snake Eyes are usually portrayed as rather superhuman.
I think it'd be a fight, I mean Shiva's not exactly portrayed as within normal human limits most of the time either, but I can buy what the others are saying.
its more the fact that the joes and cobra tend to go out in decked out gear and shadow and snake tend to go through them like confetti wielding a butter knife and a lot of joes and cobra elites are no slouches when it comes to hand to hand.
As for the lack of Scans, I think it's due to the different publishing companies of the many different versions of GI Joe books being so different themselves. It's not all one company like Marvel or DC or Image, and isn't as popular on the whole as a result.
Storm Shadow's actually the one with the bullet time feats, even though Snake Eyes usually schools him.
I think Shiva (And Cassandra Cain, for that matter) would be a good match for either of them.

As much as I loved Devils Due GI Joe vs the Transformers comics, I think the fact the main writers worked on GI Joe before the crossover comic implies more of a Joe bias then not..
I mean, Snake Eyes casually beat up Starscream, which was hilarious, but still.. A small group of Joes took down MONSTRUCTOR.
Unicron actually felt threatened by Cobra La, for crying out loud.
They're great fun otherwise, but power levels are pretty wonky, even among Transformers on Transformer combat. (Devastator was tackled and torn apart by rank and file Autobots, for example.)

Going to go with SS. Comic Book GiJoe ninjas practically have mystical Ninja powers. Shiva is good but only human. In the first Marv GiJoe run. SS practically has SPIDEY SENSE....no I take that back...HE DID HAVE SPIDEY SENSE!
