Talk:Jaune Arc Vs The Scout/@comment-31067519-20170210015906/@comment-31067519-20170322034944

Hey, I did say I'd be cool with either outcome. I prefer Scout as a character, but Jaune's pretty okay in my book too, and I don't think it'd necessarily be a stomp for whoever wins. The Nuckelavee Grimm (the Grimm that RNJR faced in the Vol. 4 finale) doesn't seem to be hypersonic in the least, but it's definitely faster than most things Scout has faced. While I'm pretty sure Scout is well above the 17 mph limit ScrewAttack gave him, I admit he's more than likely nowhere above 200 mph... which Jaune more than likely is given his training with people like Pyrrha who dodge lightning on a regular basis.

However, Scout still would have an edge in agility. NOT speed. Remember that, while definitely similar, there's a difference between agility and speed. Speed is being able to move across distances in a period of time like how the Flash  from DC Comics can travel across entire continents in mere seconds, while agility is using reflexes to narrowly dodge attacks, kinda like how Post-Timeskip Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece dodged the lasers of a Pacifista without actually moving his feet via Observation Haki. Scout can fight at long range via his guns and can try to duck and weave through Jaune's sword swings given his double jumping prowess and has been shown to easily dodge bullets from sentries, whereas Jaune struggles to dodge rocks flying his way from about 10 meters away. However, Jaune's Aura will definitely be a large obstacle given how he can tank large boulders to the face as well as hits from people like Pyrrha and Tyrian who match or surpass Scout in strength.

Overall, while I would like to see Scout win for once (he loses almost every single matchup on this wikia that I've seen), I'll bite that Jaune's chances do seem to be slightly better given his far superior durability, movement speed and unwavering attitude, though Jaune would still have a hard time doing so since Scout's agility (i.e. superior reflexes and multi-jumping) would make him incredibly difficult to hit. Key words being "incredibly difficult" to hit, not totally impossible to hit given Scout's unwavering arrogance.
