Discussion: A Vamp-Off in the making? TB slams Twilight in the news, throws glove

"Let's take a less-obvious one on one. Alice versus Pam. Since Alice can see the outcome of decisions including those of vampires, would she be able to predict Pam's moves in advance and win? "

"Hmmm, wow, this is a 'double-cute' match-up! My two favorite femme fatales from each series!

Alice is a scary little thing, and if I recall she was able to get the upper hand on Jasper, the best Cullen fighter, in their sparring match, yes? She danced around and dodged him (thanks to her precog) until she had an opening, then she went for his throat. Gotcha! She can defend herself effectively, and defend with a capital 'D'! (like the '76 Pittsburg Steelers. And I dating myself?)

Pam is an altogether different sort. She took out a bunch of vamps single handed during the Nevada takeover (Go, Pam!) She may twirl un-self-consciously on the floor at Fangtasia, but in a fight she doesn't dance around, she just goes in for the win. She believes the best defense is a good offense. Just ask Hallow and her coven. Oh wait....

NOW, if we go all Dr.Phil on these chicks, we could say that Alice, thanks to her chosen vegetarian lifestyle and/or the influence of the kind Dr. Cullen, she has a good amount of respect for life that might possibly give her pause in a fight. She is not a killer at heart, she rarely has to fight, and this might cause her to hesitate at the moment if truth.
Pam, made and trained by a certain Viking with, ahem, a questionable respect for life, has shown absolutely no hesitation to kill when necessary. She never claims to be a main-streaming, bottled blood kinda gal. She enjoys the hunt, she enjoys the fight.

Alice would give Pam a hard go of things, no doubt about it. She would wiggle away again and again, but Pam is nothing if not persistent, and her experience in a brawl would serve her well.
Dance off winner: Pam! (don't get blood in your hair, girlfriend)"
