Talk:Jaune Arc Vs The Scout/@comment-31067519-20170210015906

This is shockingly close and a smart matchup. While neither are considered the runts of their universes, they would be a major threat in real life. Case in point, Scout kills bears in a single swing and Jaune easily survives thrashing from Grimm like the Geist recently, and his swordarm is probably no joke. I'd say Scout barely steaks by. Jaune has been seen chopping an Ursa's head to the point that it was a blur, and I'm pretty sure Scout is well above 17-22 mph (though nowhere near hypersonic). While Scout has survived three missiles hitting him at once (even if they weren't direct hits, it was still enough force to launch him all the way to Medic's office, a distance that took Demoman quite a while to reach while speeding downhill on a wheelchair), Jaune has much better defense/durability with his Aura and shield. However, his taunting will more than likely mess with Jaune to the point that he loses focus, even if he isn't in his... current mindset (curse you Cinder!). It's blatantly obvious that no more than three good swings from Crocea Mors will do him in, but that will only work if Jaune can even catch Scout. Both have good reflexes, but Scout has much more experience dodging bullets and missiles "like they ain't even there", while Jaune struggles evading big rocks coming his way (though he can easily withstand taking one to the face with no injury whatsoever). Not sure about physical strength, though Scout probably takes it, as though Jaune was able to easily block a hit from an Ursa with Pyrrha's help, and has been seen swinging Crocea Mors so hard that the slice easily cuts through the air Zoro/Erza style with all of his might, Scout can send Heavies and their 150 kg weapons +60 feet away without even trying that hard. Regardless of who wins in the end, though, this is undoubtedly an incredibly close match.

Overall, thinking Scout is taking this, though only by a hair. If Scout wins, then great. If Jaune wins... then the guy finally wins for a change, and gets some good karma for once in his life. :)
