First off: People seriously need to drop Deathstroke's tactical mastermind thing. His strength when it comes to one on one tactics, (and tactics in general although he has a very large aray of tactics for other situations) is to study his opponent, figure out when, where, and how they will do what. Then figure out how to counter it. But, G.I Joe is something that no sole on Earth who is not part of it knows about other then Cobra. I mean really people, really. So how will Deathstroke use that tactical genius? You are right that he will be able to adapt VERY quickly. Any tactician at his level could take in everything extremely quickly and figure out just what to do. Normally I would say this is still enough to give Deathstroke the win, but I feel that Snake Eyes can overcome it. He's highly unpredictable and a master of many martial arts. See, a tactician at Deathstroke's level can even overcome unpredictability, just makes it a lot harder. But let's talk about predicting and countering hand-to-hand combat. Snake Eyes is a master of all kinds of martial arts. Ranging from Ninjitsu, to various styles of Chinese Martial arts, probably Krav Maga, CQD since he was in Delta Force and that's the hand-to-hand style they train, and tons and tons. When you are a master of various styles with different strengths and weaknesses, you can't just say "okay this one's weak to that" because then he can just switch. This fight'll probably come down to sword on sword, so......Deathstroke will in the end have enough to almost beat him, but not end up obvercoming him. Yes Deathstroke does outdue Snake Eyes in most physical ways, however Snake Eyes still dominates in agility. What "enhanced" senses? Deathstroke's skills won't let him counter Snake Eyes when he sneaks up behind him. Maybe if he predicted this happening.....But when Snake Eyes doesn.......He won't even know who the f*ck he is or that anyone's after him. Next of, Promethium is not "near indestructable". Deathstroke has actually been injured while wearing it numerous times by CONVENTINAL WEAPONRY.
