I am siding more with River, because she would
likely know what Buffy would be planning to do
before she does it. What do ya'll think?

Well she did seem to know what direction every single attack that both a bar full of people made (although they mainly just got beaten) as well as room full of angsty reavers, none of which provided any kind of issue at all. Hell, i'm of the belief that if the Operative hadn't told the alliance troops to stand down, they would of gotten their asses handed to them as well. It'd still be an interesting fight mind.

I think your right...but to play the devils advocate I think its Buffy.

Buffy should be able to handle anything River would throw at her, and with River knowing that Buffy would never back down and never stop no matter how beaten up she was, River would know there was no way for her to beat Buffy and therefore would let Buffy win.

Did we do this topic once before? I'm having big time deja-vu

We have gone over this a few times but threads get lost and newbies come aboard. Also the last one got wierd I think Chuck Norris was mentioned.(Oh wait that was the great ninjas vs pirates debate) I think Joss said they'd beat each other good but Buffy would come out on top cause of the super powers.

I have to go with Buffy for the measurable reasons. As a slayer (and now I've only seen maybe 3 episodes of Buffy total), but it's pretty apparent that she has supernatural abilities... things like jumping over fences, nearly flying, superhuman strength. River is just a person that is incredibly trained and conditioned. Beyond her psychic ability, she has no distinct advantage than a well-trained Navy SEAL. Even knowing Buffy's moves before hand would only give a meager advantage at best. For example, if Buffy were to plan out her moves and tell them before a fight, she would still be disadvantaged because of the constraints of human movement.

Jack Bauer would win, seriously though, River Tam hands down no contest.

It's not even close. River is a trained killer with psychic powers. Remember she warned Jayne, I can kill you with my brain. She has powers we haven't even seen yet.

It's a tough call. I'll say that if river is in her right mind she'd win.

If she's off picking up sticks that are shaped like guns and saying crazy stuff, Buffy will mince her.

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

But would she even know how to kill a slayer? I mean while she might be able to take out the human part of the equation she shouldn't have any idea how to deal with or defeat slayer powers. Plus the slayer powers should be able to stop River from doing to many mind tricks - remember what happened to Count Dracula when he tried his powers vs. slayer powers?

Yeah, NOTHING!!
she was completely under his thrall, and in the end she couldn;t even kill him!
after she "dusted" him, he just reformed from the smokey stuff...
