If Dexter manages to get the jump on Sherlock it's basically over via M99 since the M99 would probably put him to sleep instantly and Dexter has much higher lifting strength. Dexters fighting style also inherently utilizes his generally higher strength by pulling people in and snapping their necks or sticking them with M99, so Dexter isn't exactly a slouch in terms of combat and from what I can tell from their profiles they seem to be on a somewhat similar level with Sherlock being a little more skilled.

In terms of strength Sherlock is a whole 4.8x stronger so yeah pretty bad if Dexter fails in grappling with Sherlock and/or sticking him with M99 he would probably just lose given the pretty big ap gap and slight skill advantage. Although from what I'm seeing Sherlock also relies on more close quarters fighting styles like wrestling which against someone like Dexter could backfire pretty badly since like I said he has much higher lifting strength.

Sherlock has a gun though. Dexter can try disarming and using it against him but that would require him to get the drop on the detective which can be difficult due to his enhanced senses.

Question, how did Dexter did his neck snapping? Because if he was doing leverage, then that isn't really that impressive

He just grabs people from behind and twists their neck. He can also do it while one of his hands are broken

Damn, that is good

Yes, Dexter can win if he manages to inject Sherlock with M99, but Sherlock won't let him. Sherlock has better stealth capabilities so Sherlock will get close to Dexter before Dexter can get close to Sherlock. And because Sherlock sneaks up on him, he can disarm Dexter's m99 syringe or he could use the Spray to incapacitate Dexter for a short time. Or he can sneak up and shoot him with gun or sneak up and finish him off with sword. And Sherlock also has the advantage of range with weapons like the Gun and the Whip.

Honestly Dexter is basically impossible to sneak up on given he also has lots of experience in stealth, he has enhanced senses and Harry, Brian, Deborah, etc are able to warn him of stuff he doesn’t see so I doubt Sherlock could sneak up on him.

The gun and spray is pretty harmful yeah but Dexter should be able to sneak up on him and disarm him especially given the lifting strength gap.

Also I wasn’t really taking weapons into account before but now that I am Dexter should also have his knife which he is notoriously good at targeting areas that cause opponents to bleed out.

The gun does throw a bit of a monkey wrench into the fight but Dexter should be able to close the distance fairly quickly especially as he’s done so against people with guns before.

Honestly in my opinion in a hand to hand fight I could see Dexter pulling a win with extreme difficulty because he just has much more tricks up his sleeve, Sherlock may have higher ap and possibly slightly higher skill but Dexter is extremely lethal when armed with a knife as he always targets vital parts of the body, he is also much stronger in terms of lifting strength so if he does what he usually does (pulling the opponent in close and strangling, stabbing, using M99, or just snapping their neck) then Sherlock would probably just lose as he can’t escape, even if he fails at grappling with Sherlock then Sherlock would still need to be extraordinarily careful as to not be stabbed or knocked out while also avoiding attempts at being grabbed again.

If Dexter fails to sneak up on Sherlock or Sherlock is able to maintain enough distance to shoot Dexter safely then yeah he probably wins but otherwise Dexter should take this with extreme difficulty

It's not impossible. Just like Brian snuck up on Dexter, so could Sherlock.

The gun does throw a bit of a monkey wrench into the fight but Dexter should be able to close the distance fairly quickly especially as he’s done so against people with guns before.

I'm sure Sherlock won't allow it. But even if he gets close, Sherlock can take Dexter out with his sword. Sherlock is much deadlier with a sword. He can take out a group of armed terrorists with just a sword.

Sherlock has more tricks. Sherlock is more skilled and deadly with his Sword than Dexter is with his Knife. And like Dexter, Sherlock targets vital areas of the body.

he is also much stronger in terms of lifting strength so if he does what he usually does (pulling the opponent in close and strangling, stabbing, using M99, or just snapping their neck) then Sherlock would probably just lose as he can’t escape, even if he fails at grappling with Sherlock then Sherlock would still need to be extraordinarily careful as to not be stabbed or knocked out while also avoiding attempts at being grabbed again.

Sherlock can escape by hitting Dexter's vital areas. It's Sherlock's job to be careful. He'll figure out the attack before Dexter attacks, and he'll avoid it.

Sherlock also eliminates the possibility of Dexter sneaking up on him with Analytical Prediction and the Mind Palace.

It's not impossible. Just like Brian snuck up on Dexter, so could Sherlock.

First of all his guard was down second he actually did get a warning from his younger self hallucination

I'm sure Sherlock won't allow it. But even if he gets close, Sherlock can take Dexter out with his sword. Sherlock is much deadlier with a sword. He can take out a group of armed terrorists with just a sword.

Even still Dexter has many more tricks up his sleeve and he has a much higher chance of sneaking up on Holmes successfully rather than Holmes sneaking up on Dexter

Sherlock has more tricks. Sherlock is more skilled and deadly with his Sword than Dexter is with his Knife. And like Dexter, Sherlock targets vital areas of the body.

Sure but Dexter could probably sneak up on him so that Sherlock doesn’t even have the chance to react or at least disarm him

Sherlock can escape by hitting Dexter's vital areas. It's Sherlock's job to be careful. He'll figure out the attack before Dexter attacks, and he'll avoid it.

Thing is Dexter can also do that and he does it in a way that paralyzes the person

Sherlock also eliminates the possibility of Dexter sneaking up on him with Analytical Prediction and the Mind Palace.

To my discredit I don’t know how “mind palace” works but it probably requires Sherlock to have some prior knowledge or at least have seen the person and in this context Sherlock would have neither

 

[AThe1412]

I don't know how this fight will go but Brian being able to get the drop on Dexter should be a feat for the former rather than an anti-feat for the latter.

I think that this is pretty much what would happen. Sherlock's stealth feats seem way more impressive. Sneaking into the most secure prison in the world >> Dexter breaking into homes & sneaking out of a monitored area

Because of this, I think Sherlock will likely get the jump on Dexter, which in the end should give him the win

I'm voting for Sherlock

Honestly I'd vote Incon here, Dexter can feasibly close the gap and could win via a syringe jab or LS but there's always the chance Sherlock susses him out and nails him from range. That said I'd reckon Sherlock would find Dexter an amusing foe at least

 

[ByArrow]

First of all his guard was down second he actually did get a warning from his younger self hallucination

Sherlock might say something to Dexter that makes him let his guard down. He was warned, but it didn't work.

And Dexter was kidnapped by Masuka. So Dexter's awareness is not perfect and can be bypassed even by someone like Masuka. And he doesn't always get warned by hallucinations, and even if he does, it's not early enough. So these two are not going to be much help here.

Even still Dexter has many more tricks up his sleeve and he has a much higher chance of sneaking up on Holmes successfully rather than Holmes sneaking up on Dexter

Sherlock was able to infiltrate the most secure prison in the world and infiltrate the most secure cell in the prison. This feat alone surpasses all of Dexter's stealth feats.

Sure but Dexter could probably sneak up on him so that Sherlock doesn’t even have the chance to react or at least disarm him

Sherlock's stealth skills > Dexter's stealth skills.

To my discredit I don’t know how “mind palace” works but it probably requires Sherlock to have some prior knowledge or at least have seen the person and in this context Sherlock would have neither

The Mind Palace does not need prior knowledge or to see the person for it to work. He can visualize every possible scenario in which he could be approached and reduce the likelihood of being caught off guard. And here Sherlock knows about Dexter. He knows who Dexter is, what he does and how he does it.
