VS

Much like a select few pre-crisis heroes before, Shrike has been watching the universe of the new 52 from behind the looking glass. But no more. His extreme hatred for Nightwing has broken down the walls and he crosses the barrier into a new world. However, he isnt the only one gunning for Nightwing and he soon runs into Saiko. With neither wanting to to back down, they inevitably come to blows. FIGHT!!

Rules:
- Fight takes place in Gotham City
- Morals Off
- Standard equipment

Aren't they both basically the same dude..like they have enough feats to prove they have SOME skill but neither have enough feats to say which one is better?

I'm gonna say Saiko, because I think he put up a better fight against Dick than Shrike did.

@CitizenBane: How is Shrike in terms of acrobatics? Just curious.

@Ferro Vida: Never really saw Shrike as acrobatically inclined.

@CitizenBane: So Saiko also has an edge there, since even Nightwing was commenting on his moves in his first appearance.

Anyways, this was Nightwing's fight against Shrike (while injured):

And this was his first fight against Saiko:

And the second:

Not sure what else Shrike has done. I know he beat Lady Vic, Brutale and Tim Drake, and then he was humiliated by Cass. That's about all I remember.

@CitizenBane:
I don't remember Saiko's fights with Nightwing being any more impressive. Dick seemed to have the upper hand in every one of them. But I think I am going to take away that wrist-rocket.

@buttersdaman000: Better than Saiko losing to an injured Dick who had to rescue Black Canary at the same time. Also, he presumably has the healing factor of the Talons, so durability is his game.

True, i'm just trying to spark up some support for Shrike. If you have them can you post the scans for his fights in Nightwing 54 and 55 (I think)

Yup, after beating up on poor Drake, Cass put a beating on him. He later went to train under Lady Shiva and encountered Cassie a second time. He landed a tag or two and she admitted he has improved, but it still wasn't nearly enough to hope to compete with her. She made short work of him that time as well, but at least he could brag he got a tag or two in that time around. He also had a fairly sweet prison escape. Overall, he never stood a chance against Grayson IMHO.

Anyway, Saiko seems more impressive in both skill and agility. Then there's always the wrist rocket which could factor in an extra win or two.

The only reason he landed those hits was that Cass was exhausted. :P

Damn right I'm not letting you have that.

@Morpheus_: I'm not "having" anything. It's not a selling point for Shrike. He's not good enough to take down most street levelers IMHO. I'm telling him what happened, and frankly, since I just woke up I'm not going to include every detail, such as she wasn't at her best and there was a whole other group of assassins hunting her as well.
