Cissie King-Jones of Young Justice (Let's just say that she went out of retirement for this fight) vs. Mia Dearden, the new Speedy.

I don't know about cissie's fighting skills, but I do no that she was the top gymnast in her school, and that the tournaments she was winning was funding her school. So she's probably more agile than mia. But I believe mia's the better shot between the two.

Arrowette stomp. 
 
She won the olympic gold metal before Mia had ever picked up a bow, beating Artemis Crock aka Tigress (daughter of Huntress and Sportsmaster) and Turk (Merlyn's sidekick) with ease.    
 

 
 


 
 


 
 
She could shoot six arrows at the same time and hit bullseyes with all of them, again, before Mia had ever picked up a bow.  Anyone saying Speedy is a better archer than Arrowette has no clue what they're talking about. 
 

 
 

   
 
 

   
 
Arrowette is also quite the gymnast.  Mia was stated to have trained in hand to hand but her only feat was getting beat on by Drakon. 
 
Mia would never get close to Cissie and even if she did, I'm not so sure she could take her up close. 
 
  

 
 


 
 


And then there's the fact that Cissie has damn near metahuman vision and was more accurate at three years old with weapons she had never used before than Mia is with a bow now. 
 

 
 

 
 
Like I said.  Arrowette.  Stomp.

Lol, nice scans. I admit I don't know much about arrowette, (I got most of my info from her from tt comics), I didn't even know she had meta like abilities. I still think Mia has better training, and is overall a much better character, but I guess ill concede defeat, and admit that cissie wins. 
 
(P.S Arrowette is still a stupid name :) )

She hasn't and she's not.  (I own all appearances of both characters and Mark Waid and Peter David are far better writers than Judd Winnick.)
 
Stop talking about things you don't know about.  It makes you look like a moron.

I kinda want to make a serious arguement for Arrowette being a better character. 
 
 
I kinda want to provide scans of Arrowette's defining moments and show why she was an awesome and unique character. 
 
Then I want to try to do the same for Speedy and show that the only things she's got going for her are her joke that Oliver Queen is obviously Green Arrow and being a token aids awareness platform.

When I saw this thread I thought they were referring to Roy Harper, then I was surprised when you were defending Arrowette.  
I've only read about her in Young Justice so my knowledge of the character is limited.

I think since Cissie is coming out of retirement for this that Mia takes it,because of the fact that she is fresh and ready and has been out there doing this while Cissie is sitting at home doing nothing and not training.(Most likely.).Though i think if Cissie hasnt been retired and she has been fighting crime during this time she takes it.But out of retirement Cissie Vs. Mia,Mia wins.

So? Chronologically, she quit being a superhero like...a year ago and has had several adventures since.

Ridiculous.  Arrowette was more accurate at age 3 with zero training than Mia is now. 
 
And what training exactly has Mia had?  A bit of off panel training with Green Arrow?  Psh.  It's a plot point that Arrowette trains all the freaking time.  She's an olympic gold medalist.  She didn't just forget her skills because she isn't wearing a mask anymore.
