Sasaki wins, i don't think there's anything Guts can do against someone who can predict everything he tries to do

Wouldn't Guts Analytical Prediction and Passive Probability Manip make up for the difference in skill?

Sasakis AnaPre is ridiculously above anything Guts could muster. I would have to fish out the feat list for Sasaki, but they were crazy.

Probability manip depends on how potent it is. But unless its "Break Sasaskis ankle whenever he lines up a attack", or "The sun perfectly blinds him whenever he tries to dodge" (And even then, Sasaki is such a skilled character that he could ignore shit like that and still dance on Guts like hes a toddler), its not going to be much of a boon.

Guts inconned with another Sasaki from a weaker verse and less impressive skill feats and given what this Sasaki is capable of... yeah.

Guts' AnaPre is nowhere close, it mostly allows him to stategize to the extent that he can stalemate considerably physically superior people but it is still entirely fallible, such as when he failed to predict that his sword would break mid-battle.

His Probability Manip actually does function in a similar manner, actually. For example, it saved him from an in-flight crossbow bolt at a point prior to his BoS key by having him reach for something that was blown out of his grasp by a chance gust of wind. He's also had multiple instances where he was the sole survivor of skirmishes with massive body counts and his survival was entirely contingent upon luck. There's also the instance where he had damaged Bazuso's axe just barely enough for it to shatter on his helmet instead of the other way around.

All told, maybe not a complete crapshoot of a battle, but Guts is just prolonging the inevitable since SBA means no outside help save for what you can directly summon. It's gonna go similarly to his first fight with Zodd: he'll stand his ground for a good while, but ultimately he's completely out of his depth and would need to be bailed out with reinforcements just to survive, which isn't happening here.
