I posted this thread on the VS reddit wiki, thinking that Jack might be a bit outmatched compared to Pearl, but was surprised to find it was a curvestomp in Jack's favor. I wanted to know what you guys thought, especially since according to striking stregnth/durability, Pearl should have the advantage.
Here's the thread (except for pictures):
Setting it as casual to be safe, as I realize they may not be exactly on the same power level, but serious discussion is welcome, as I think they might be fairly evenly matched. Even though Jack doesn't have anywhere near as much combat experience as Pearl (I'm assuming he's only trained for around 20 years + his 50 of surviving in the future, as opposed to the 200+ years Pearl fought in the gem war, and the other 5700+ years she's been training on and off), he has shown to fight and outsmart a wide variety of opponents, holding his own against powerful foes.
Anyway, here's how I'd set it up.
Round 1: Both combatants are limited to their main weaponry, but still have their combat experience. Jack has his sword and his experience up till the end of season 5, while pearl can use her spear and swords and has her experience up to present day. This is the first time they have encountered one another.
Round 2: A more "no-holds-barred" type battle, same conditions as before, except now, Jack also has access to his arsenal of weaponry from the beginning of season 5 (including his firearms and armor), and pearl has her holo-clones, energy projection abilities, and can use other notable abilities, such as levitation/walking on water. (Not the pocket dimension though, as that would be too overpowered).
As for the location, I think the strawberry battlefield would be an good place to duel for both rounds, as both combatants could use it to their advantage, and it seems to fit the most.
Let me know what you think.
