Capt. James T. Kirk vs Capt. Jean Luc Picard

In a fight I agree, Kirk kicks Picards ass. But as an all around better captain I gotta give it to my boy Jean Luc.

Kirk shows up, slaps Picard like a lil sissy bitch, fucks Dr. Crusher and leaves. Total time: 27 minutes. 3 seconds of that spent dealing with Picard.

The immortal question.

If we’re talking a straight fight though, no Starships, no complications, and we’re talking both in their prime, Kirk wins. Picard is a competent fighter but Kirk’s brawler skills combined with his insane luck are the stuff of legend.

Picard may be the superior tactical captain overall as well as diplomat, in general just being a better captain but he ain’t beating Kirk in a fight. Even in a starship, Kirks’ tactical ability was renowned along with his crew, although it’s much more equal there. Picard did create the Picard maneuver afterall..

So one on one fight, Kirk. Ship to ship battle…much harder to say, but if they both have ships of equal capability I think while it’d be narrow, Kirk could still win. Picard’s a brilliant tactical captain, but Kirk’s an insane tactical captain. No one pulls last minute Indiana Jones esque escapes and counter attack plans on the spot like Captain Kirk.
