@cpt_nice: Strength isn't everything. We know Garnet's strength is one of her trump cards.
It is a factor, nonetheless.
SQ has more versatility and an obvious range advantage with her jojo's.
Range, yes. Versatility? Hard to say, really. Garnet seems to have more powers at her disposal. I agree Smokey's weapon is more versatile, but in overall powers and capabilities, Garnet strikes me as more versatile.
Based on her casually punking Jasper while Garnet still took damage even during their second fight, I would say SQ should be somewhat above her in actual combat.
Well, lets consider the fact that Smokey's fight with Jasper was short. Jasper first got punked by three unexpected attacks, tried bullrushing Smokey, and once that failed she decided: "This clod might beat me, so I'm not risking anything!". She realized Smokey is superior, much like Garnet is, but this time didn't want to let her arrogance get the best of her.
Garnet was similarly dancing around Jasper initially, then Jasper started tagging her. I think Jasper would've done similar to Smokey if the fight continued, even though Smokey would've ultimately prevailed.
She also made short work of the fusion between that corrupted gem and Jasper.
By forming a massive tornade, which granted she can do here, but Garnet is more intelligent than Jasper and has ways of reaching Smokey that Jasper lacks.
