As good as Spike is I just don't think he could beat Takashi. The only way he could win would be to shoot Takashi and I doubt he would.

Let's see.. martial artist versus gun-toting bounty hunter. While Spike is sure to be up for some hand-to hand combat, and probably unlikely to shoot a kid, he seems likely to live by the Mal Reynolds credo- if somebody ever tries to kill you, try to kill them right back. Of course he might shoot to wound, but I dunno how hat would affect the ever-stoic Mori.

I agree. He wouldn't want to kill a kid if he could get away without it, but if the kid was fighting for blood (and good enough to draw some), well... Mal and Spiegel haven't made it as far as they have by being softies.

...holy zomgies. Who would win, Mal or Spike?

I hate to say it, but Spike would win. I love Mal but he's not the most organized and when he tries to be, things go awry. And while Mal has war combat experience, Spike has gangsta combat experience and given what/where their battle would probably be, the gangsta would count more, I think. Though, it could end up a draw with them both killing each other.

Or they may throw down weapons and have a drink together, you never know.

Ah, you're right with that last option. They'd beat each other up for a while, decide that they had no real reason for it, and go get a drink. ("Damn, you're good. If I weren't in the middle of tryin' to kill ya, I'd have you on my crew any day." "Too bad things worked out this way, hunh? You even seem like you'd make a decent partner." "Why are we fightin, anyway?" *still shooting* "You ain't done no harm nor made any threats to my crew or my livelihood." *stealthily sneaks around to point gun at Spike's head* "You don't seem like you're working for the Alliance, either." "Hunh, I don't really know," *disarms Mal, throws him to the floor* "The bounty on your head doesn't even pay in woolongs... might not even be worth it." *Mal gets up, places hand on other gun* "Hell, I doubt the bounty'd be worth it even if it were payin' in woo-whatever-the-hell-it-was-you-wanted-to-get-paid-in. I ain't pissed off that many people yet." "Hunh." *brief silence, during which both maintain a fighting stance but conspicuously fail to fight ( ... )

Mori-senpai is amazing and would beat most any opponent (as I argued so eloquently in a previous battle), but I'm gonna have to go with Spike on this one. He's got more weapons and more experience in taking someone down. They might be on par as far as technical martial arts prowess goes, but Mori-senpai really is just a (sexy, sexy) kid when compared to (sexy, sexier) Spike Spiegel.

Also, Hughes died in the fight with Honey because it's a better way to die than being shot by a creepy shape-shifting homonculous because it morphed into your wife and you didn't see it coming and you just can't be expected to guard against attacks like that.
