Seriously the M-claws negate his healing and a outright win for Daken more often than not.
Give wolvie a M Sword and even the field lol.
Daken has never tagged Wolverine with the M-Claws. Not once. The only time he even unsheathed them against Logan was when Wolverine had the M-Blade, so the writers didn't have to worry about Daken killing Logan. If he'd used the M-Claws in their earlier fights, (he didn't have them in the first one, though), he could have killed Wolvie. Wolverine even says as much after one of their encounters. But Daken doesn't even have them in this fight, so it doesn't matter much.
@nickzambuto:
Daken vs Wolverine is an odd proposition, because both of them are so inconsistent. Daken can probably win if he spams his disappearing trick, but he doesn't use it all that much anymore. Wolverine is immune to his pheromones for some reason, so that's out. And with Wolvie's adamantium, Daken will have a hard time putting him down sans Muramasa Claws.
But at the same time, Daken has taken Logan down on multiple occasions without his M-Claws, and he does have the disappearing trick available for use. Cyber has said that Daken has a better chance to kill him than Wolverine does, and Wolverine has thought that Daken is better than he is. Cyber says Daken is more skilled than he is, and Cyber has been fighting since before World War II.
Wolverine is supposed to have more skill, and he has ridiculous amounts of training and experience. But he's also a lot more prone to brawling than Daken has ever been, so he doesn't show that skill with nearly as much regularity as Daken.
Daken beat Wolverine in their first couple of encounters, but Wolverine has beaten him a couple of times since then, including his recent almost-stomp where he re-killed Daken. My problem with that fight is that Daken was so angry he had gone feral. Logan states this several times during the fight. And as we see repeatedly, Daken is far, far less effective when he's angry. (See Daken vs Deadpool, his first fight with Wolverine, etc.) If Daken had stayed calm, things might have gone differently, seeing as he's been able to keep up with Wolverine in previous encounters when he's remained calm. But on the other hand, Wolverine has won both of their last two fights handily, and he's showed the ability to perform with Marvel's best for decades.
With M-Claws and fighting smart, Daken should be able to take this with a majority by spamming disappearing trick and negating Wolvie's healing factor. Without M-Claws and totally in-character, Daken will probably get angry/frightened and lost a substantial majority. If he's bone claw and stays calm, I would put it as pretty darn close to a stalemate. Logan's adamantium gives him a big advantage, and he has better speed feats. But Daken has not only consistently kept up with Logan in the past, his disappearing trick lets him get a few free hits in. Wolverine probably has a little more skill based on his decades more of experience, but Daken is extraordinary in his own right, and has kept up with/beaten Wolvie and other skilled opponents in the past.
So in conclusion, in the scenario at hand, I would say something like Wolverine 51, Daken 49. Much as I love Daken, Wolverine has too many high-end feats from his ludicrous amount of exposure compared to Daken's relatively few. (Although impressive ones.)
*Disclaimer: I have a tendency to lowball Wolverine a little bit, so this assessment might be a tad skewed.
