Cassandra. Domino's abilities are too random and inconsistent.

Domi

Cass trips and breaks her neck once the battle started.

Honestly speaking Cassy to wayyy too fast for Domino to deal with. Look at some of the reflex feats she has performed which puts someone like Batman to shame. Look at her skills, she can paralyze someone with one nerve strike.

I really doubt her luck manipulation would help Domino beat someone far more skilled, a lot faster and hell of a lot cooler.

Cassy FTW every single time.

@Killemall: Love your last reason. lol

The luck manipulation is probably not going to be enough considering the Rulks could just muscle after her with little difficulty.

When has Domino's luck been 'inconsistent'?

Personally, I hate that argument, because Domino has consistently proven she's the luckiest girl on the planet, and I have yet to see her 'luck' run out.

@Outside_85: Didn't she just beat Rulk? (PIS i know) Is this considered canon? I don't even know how to debate against being lucky. lol

Yay a domino thread!!,,this might seem biased but I think with a little "luck" she could win this fight..I'm going with the underdog domino FTW

Against cassandra cain, the only luck that domino will get is Bad Luck.

@chiq: Isn't that from the book where it was suggests the whole AvX story happened because Pixie and Squirrel Girl had been playing with someone's puppets?

Cassandra Cain.

If Domino can keep the fight at distance she'll win with her weapons and luck. At close range it Cass easily. Domino is not untouchable even with her powers working.

Cass beats up Domino to within an inch for her life. She is about to land the killing blow when a tree branch breaks from above and k.o.'s her causing her to drown.

Cass wins w/o pis.

Cass all day every day.

Domino. Her reflexes and agility are near meta and Cassie is not enough above her to be able to overcome the luck.

Domino

I hate overrated WIS cass.

Cass 14 times out of 10.

Could you show me some reaction feats from Domino, that puts her say close to Cassie.

Cassandra win

How is Cass going to get around Domino's luck power, which has enabled Domino to take out people who are at Cass's level or above?

Domino is a nimble little minx.

Especially when the extraordinarily lucky person uses a gun or guns as standard gear and the Cassie is not bulletproof.

You could have replied to me, didnt see the message. The first one's pretty good , rest not so much. But it really pales in comparision to some of Cassy's reflex feats.

Batgirl Volume 1, Issue 13: Dodging multiple bullets with absolute ease

Gallery

Batgirl Volume 1, Issue 17: Dodges bullets fired point blank

Gallery

Batgirl Volume 1, Issue 21: Dodges bullet inches away from her face

Gallery

Batgirl Volume 1, Issue 21: shadow thief attacks her with 4 ninja stars, she manages to catch them on each fingers, to me this look damn impressive.

You gotta admit man, her reflex are pretty damn awesome.

I give this to Domino.

@Killemall: Yep, and the thing that bothers me is they do not belong on a normal human, peak or not.

Why does this give naughty thoughts.....lips and hands....I'm just saying....;)

Anyway, Domino for the win.....her luck power count for a lot here.

Dom wins.

I agree ... domino has used her power to almost always come out on top, she should surely be able to use it to win against a street leveler.

NOTE: before you post scans of her losing to street levelers know the story line .... typically when she loses it ends up being to her benefit.

No luck in the world is gonna save dom from this @ss whooping.a day of prep with standard gear for cassi= domino with a right black circle to match the left

Cass has no answer to Domino's luck power. "Kung fu" is not enough here.

Domino has also never beaten anyone remotely as skilled as Cass Cain via luck.

She has used her luck and fighting ability to defeat Lady Deathstrike and Deadpool who are easily as formidable opponents as Cass if not more so.

There's nothing true about your comparison of Deathstrike and Deadpool to Cassandra, also Deadpool has beaten Domino as well as the other way around.

Why isn't the comparison true? They are A-list martial artists with high-end healing factors. Deadpool is a walking arsenal and Deathstrike has claws that can slice through just about anything. They are easily as formidable as Cass, moreso really.

Cass is a character whose offense is limited to straightforward physical attacks. That plays right into Domino's luck powers. Cass doesn't have any esoteric abilities to get around the luck and doesn't have the stat advantage to overwhelm Domino or tank the fallout from the luck powers. But if you have a plausible strategy for Cassandra to win I'm open to debate.

I love Neena, but Cass would take it.

1.Lady Deathstrike isn't an A-List martial artist. She's not even B-list. 2.Deadpool IS an A-list martial artist but his feats don't match Cassandra Cain's. 3.Deathstrike's healing factor and claws are irrelevant as well as Deadpool's arsenal to any point that I was making. 4.Domino's luck powers aren't a shield or a defense, she can be hit and she has been hit..and Cass doesn't have to draw this out..she's strong enough and skilled enough to one shot Domino and yes she doesn't have a physical stat advantage.

True, Deathstrike may not be A-list in skill but she's knocking at the door. To say she's "not even B-list" is ridiculous. And skill is only one thing to factor into overall formidability in a H2H/CQ fight, and both Deathstrike and Deadpool are more formidable than Cass due to the previously mentioned advantages. Why would these advantages be irrelevant in a CQ fight? Domino can certainly be hit but her luck power IS a defense. She is not sweeping Cass but she is taking a majority because Cass's attack style here matches up horribly against Domino's luck power. If Cass had phasing, like Kitty Pryde... Or telepathy... Or a spider-sense to avoid the fallout of anything cause by the luck power... or the ability to absorb kinetic energy... or AOE attacks like Cyclop's optic blast... or anything other than just "skills" she'd do much better. And the skill difference between Cass and Domino is not enormous. Domino is a fantastic fighter. It's not like Cass is Mantis, or Moondragon, or the like.

You don't have any evidence to back that up. All we know about Deathstrike is that she's trained and has SOME skill. Never once has she defeated anyone who was particularly skilled by way of her own skill. Skill is the only factor in this thread because Domino isn't Deadpool or Lady Deathstrike, if you're going to use them as proof she can beat Cassandra Cain, you might as well had used her defeating Red Hulk. He's far harder to take down then both and ALSO not as skilled as Cassandra and not really even close. Cassandra has the skill and the strength advantage. It's all she needs. She doesn't need a defense for luck powers to beat someone that has them.

Lady Deathstrike routinely gives Wolverine a hell of a fight, and Wolverine is easily more formidable than Cass in a CQ fight. And why do you keep insisting skill is the ONLY FACTOR in this fight? Honestly, I'd like to know. Why do you refuse to acknowledge that Domino A) has luck powers and B) these powers routinely come into play when she in a CQ fight? I did not mention the Red Hulk fight because it happens off panel, is implausible given both of their accepted power levels, and is clearly PIS. So if I'm not bringing it up, why are you?

Why not? What logical reason do you base this statement on?

I don't see how anyone can argue for or against domino...Maybe its because I don't read anything with her in it but its either her bad luck powers make her win or they don't. I mean she can't really control them right?
