Cammy White (Street Fighter) vs. Nina Williams (Tekken)

Opening
Pixie: Okay, let’s say you’re the leader of a criminal organization, a paramilitary organization or whatever, and you decide that you need to abduct someone and brain-wash them into being an ultimate assassin. You could take the logical route and choose someone based on their physical abilities. Alternately, you could just point a finger at the hottest blonde in the room and say, “Gimme her!”  That seems to be what happened to Cammy White, Delta Red’s amnesiac special operative.

Spider: And Nina Williams, the Silent Assassin. I’m Spider.

Pixie: And I’m Pixie!

Spider: And it’s our job to analyze their power, abilities and skills to decide who would win a Death Battle.

Nina Williams
Spider: Nina Williams was trained in assassination martial arts by her father, Richard Williams.

Pixie: Uh, why?

Spider: Hmm?

Pixie: Why did Richie teach his little girl assassination techniques? Instead of, you know, ballet, or horse-back riding, or something that doesn’t involve murdering people?

Spider: Eh, families in the Tekken Universe are weird. Frankly, Nina’s lucky her dad didn’t throw her off a cliff. Anyways, Nina was later brainwashed by a mysterious underground organization and sent to assassinate Heihachi Mishima, the sponsor of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament.

Pixie: …Because?

Spider: Because… he’s evil, and threw his son off a cliff? Tekken’s story-telling isn’t very clear to me.

Pixie: What. So, her father trained her in assassination arts, and then she just happened to be abducted and brainwashed into being an assassin. Are we sure dear old Dad didn’t have anything to do with that?

Spider: …Maaaybe? In any case, Nina failed to assassinate Heihachi, as you might guess if you’ve noticed that Heihachi has continued to appear in every Tekken game since.

Pixie: So then she escaped and overcame the brain-washing, right?

Spider: Yes. Eventually. And then she was brain-washed again, this time by Ogre, and sent to kill Jin Kazuma.

Pixie: What.

Spider:  It appears that the only remaining member of Nina’s family is her sister, Anna—

Pixie: Oh, well at least she has her sister to hold onto.

Spider: --who Nina has been in a bitter rivalry with for roughly twenty years.

Pixie: What.

Spider: Well, to be fair, in the Tekken movie’s continuity, Anna is the one who assassinated Nina’s father, Richards, so that would give Nina a pretty good reason to dislike her.

Pixie: …WHAT.

Spider (sighing): I know, I know.

Pixie: If I ever end up in the Tekken universe, remind me to never, EVER start a family. Or go dating. In fact, fuck it, just stay away from people in general.

Spider: Nina was also held as a test subject in cryogenic slumber for 15 years before Ogre began controlling her.

Pixie: You know, you’d think a deadly assassin like her could manage to go more than twenty seconds without getting kidnapped. I swear, this girl gets it worse than Princess Peach. Can we please move on to how much ass she kicks?

Spider: With pleasure. Nina is skilled as both a grappler and a striker. She uses a fast, offensive style, combing straight punches, round kicks, sweep-kicks, knife-hands and double palm-strikes, and excels at deadly combos.

Pixie: She can also perform air-juggles, repeatedly knocking her enemies into the air, which keeps them unable to strike back as long as she keeps up the juggle.

Spider: Nina’s brutal, relentless fighting-style is matched by her cold, dispassionate personality. But though she usually remains extremely stoic and intimidating, Nina’s interactions with her sister reveal a childish streak.

Pixie: She has stolen Anna’s shoes, drawn on her face with lipstick and… blown up the set of a movie that she and her sister were working on after Anna won a scripted sword-fight with her.

Spider: …It’s okay, you can say it.

Pixie: WHAT.

Spider: But despite her childish streak and emotional stunting, Nina remains a deadly assassin and a master hand-to-hand combatant.

Nina: Feel free to sit this one out.
