User blog comment:Elgb333/Saber (Fate/stay night) vs Jack Horner (Fables)/@comment-5232784-20150918181815

Jack and Saber went up the hill, to fetch a pail of... SMACKDOWN!

1. Melee 1

Jack definitely has the tech advantage, but being able to fire at super speeds and hit anything at an distance pails next to a blade that can destroy an all powerful Holy Grail. All powerful would, I think, render something well nigh to actually indestructable. This means that Jack, who is "Indestructable", could be felled with one charged blow of excalibur.

EDGE: Saber!

2. Melee 2

Both Mana burst and Bounded Field of the Wind King can each increase Saber's speed. Together, they would render her unearthly quick. Combine that with a charged blade capable of destroying omnipotent objects...she's all but unstoppable. Also, her instinc A gives her the ability to know what her enemy is doing before they do it. Before Jack can use his reality warping powers, or uses a brimstone (which could slay her) she could use her speed and charged blade to rush him like a pack of zerglings.

Both combatants have precog here, so this will pose a conundrum: how can they surprise each other? How can there acutally be an end to this fight. I think that, with Jack's reality warping powers (which does, it seems, have limits. After all, he cant draw as fast as Bigby wolf), he may eventually win out, but if Saber uses her speedy attacks and ultimate killing tehcnique together...even Jack's precog might not be able to help him (remember, he can draw fast, not necessarily otherwise move or run fast). If you knew what the flash was going to do to you before it happened, how could you use your knowledge to stop him? He moves like lightning!

EDGE: SABER!

3. Defense 1

The burlap sack almost makes this match too one sided; a bag that can suck in an omnipotent being (Like God) is something few if any fictional character could counter. However, I doubt, even with the source material, that it is THAT powerful (if it is, why didn't Satan use it to capture God or win the war in heaven? I assume the normal background of Satan is present in the universe where Jack is present), but even nigh omnipotent beings can be sucked in.

Avalon sends Saber into another universe, protecting her from attacks based in this one, so perhaps, if she uses avalon before Jack opens his bag, she could escape it (he has to get in close to use it, and as far as we know, nothing located in another universe (unseen by Jack) that is close by to the sack, gets sucked in with its victim. Saber could go to the fairy realm, sneak around where Jack would be holding the bag, then take him from behind when she appears again.

She'll have instinct A, which will clue her in on the burlap bag before its used

EDGE: SABER!

4: Defense 2

Jack's reality powers will be able to trump Saber's armor, but being only nigh-indestructable, he will be able to fall prey to her powerful sword when fully charged. However, unlike Saber, Jack seems to be immune to pain, which gives him a superior edge

EDGE: JACK!

5: X factors!

Jack has superior intellect, resistance to magic, experience, durability and magical resistance. Saber has more training and better melee capability, but this is not enough to stem Jack's edges

EDGE: JACK!

Jack has the intelligence, which together with his precog may trump Saber's precog, which is paired with lesser intelligence. However, he mostly fights with his sword and guns, and doesn't use his more serious magic powers as much as Saber does, and being cocky and arrogant, he will underestimate her. When she uses her powers to charge her blade and increase her speed, Jack will be in serious danger. Saber could take him out quick. Even with his precog, her speed will be unbelievable, and with her instinct A, she may know how powerful he is before they fight, and thus use her full potential for super speed and charged sword strike.

My verdict:

SABER KICKS JACK HORNER OVER THE CANDLESTICK!!!!!!!
