Jaune vs Wash by SilverJenkins

Silver: You know, regardless of how wimpy you might be, you can always improve yourself. Especially when you have a female red-haired friend who just so happens to be among the best of the best.

Grif: Jaune Arc, the leader of Team JNPR.

Vega: And Freelancer Agent Washington, the current leader of the Blues. I'm Vega and they're Silver and Grif.

Silver: And it's our job to analyse both combatants to find out who would win this Rooster Teeth DEATH BATTLE!

("All I want is for you to leave. I've already been responsible for enough of their problems in the past, and I'll be damned before I let you cause any more.")
Another fierce Rooster Teeth rivalry is about to be settled! Can Jaune overcome the firepower of the former Freelancer? Does Wash still have a head after this is over? Time to find it out!

Washington takes this easily. Not only is he more durable, way more skilled and experienced, his gear should blow right through Jaune's aura, this is Halo weaponry we're talking about. He has fought on even terms with both Tex and Meta, and later defeats Locus and Felix. Mind you, all 4 of the characters I mentioned would have little to no trouble handing Jaune his ass. Wash has greatly improved over the course of the series and even as his time as the supposed "buttmonkey" of the freelancers he was still extremely skilled. Personality=/=skill.

"but wash was the worst of the freelancers!!!111" This is not a valid argument. Hell, it's not even true. Washington was only the worst out of one single squad, not literally all of the Freelancers. The worst were Ohio, Idaho, and Iowa. Just because York said "you're easily the worst" doesn't mean he automatically /is/ actually the worst. For all we know, York could've just been joking around due to being the nice guy he is.

Washington is also much smarter and has a more tactical mindset. This might not seem like much but intelligence can be surprisingly important in a fight.

Wash has much superior weaponry. I know that having a better arsenal doesn't always guarantee a character a victory, but in this case it certainly does. Hydra missile launcher that can blow Jaune's shield to pieces, battle rifle can shoot his sword right out of his hands, etc. 

Jaune's only advantage here is his superior strength but that won't mean much when they have equal speed and Jaune is outclassed in every other category.
