For me, it seems to be more interesting if we start at the bottom. This doesn't include husbandos, so if someone wants to start that thread, go right ahead. Here goes:
Allers vs. Anyone. Civilian with no known combat training or skills. Plus you can punt her off the ship at anytime. With a rollover attitude like that, how could she win anything?
Kelly vs. Traynor: Really just an amateur match. After Allers is out of the way, this would be a pretty even match. I'm going to go with Traynor, though, on account of Kelly is pretty stupid. Of course, the victory wouldn't last long,...
Traynor vs. Tali: Tali could easily handle Traynor. After all, Tali can be taken on combat missions and is one of your squaddies. Unfortunately, the quarian has a lot of weaknesses, not to mention she's an engineer, not a soldier, so....
Tali vs. Anyone still standing: Combat drones can only carry you so far before your suit gets punctured and she's looking worse than Kal Reegar. We didn't like Tali for her brawn anyway, so don't feel bad, Talimancers. Moving on.
Miranda vs. Jack: This fight was bound to happen. It probably was going on while we were paying attention to the amateurs. The interesting thing about this battle is we don't really have to pick a winner. Because both are crazy biotic strong, whoever gets beaten is still going to make the victor look like they got washed in a river with an old time grater. That's a problem because there's still some badasses left.
Miranda/Jack vs. the next whoever: Neither the asari or Ashley would really have to put too much strain into finishing off the victor of this fight. The only question being do they win with bullets or by crushing you with biotics. There's only a few left now....
The Three Way Fight: That's Ashley, Samara and Liara. There's no pairing off anymore and all are smart enough to not let someone sit out the fight and polish off the victor, so lets say that it is ON. Grenades can be bad news for all sorts of reasons and have the possible benefit of hitting multiple targets. That plus the spray and pray abilities of the soldier would mean Ashley has the opening shots. Being the second human Spectre, and having a past dislike for aliens, you've got to think she means it when she shoots. Probably one on one, you could make a case that she could be beaten, yet all the evidence is there that she would more likely edge out her opponent.
But that's the issue right there. You've got two asari and they aren't that dumb. Neither was probably thrilled about the grenades either. So, in temporary mutual interest, Samara and Liara would probably team biotic explode all over poor Ashley. Breaking through her armor and new makeup, they'd send her right back down to Eden prime looking like, well, like she did in ME1. Ashley is out.
Liara vs. Samara: For all the ice cream and the priviledge of being Shepard's waifu from here until the run at the beam, neither would hold anything back. Now, we all know Liara shows up in each of the 3 Mass Effects, and Samara just doesn't have the same commitment to Shepard that Liara has. Stalking traits aside, however, Samara, let's face it, is one nasty Momma who'd kill her own kids, and even herself, if it broke her code. Hell, she was killing stuff in the monastery alone. Shepard needed two team members. In murder, she is far beyond Liara.
But then, let's look at that a bit further. She's a killer when she needs to, but she's completely shackled by her code. Which, while is insane and leaves plenty of legal room to put most opponents in the category of, 'Needin' a good killin'," it falls woefully short in dealing with those who don't. Liara's never done anything that would have Samara feel the need to kill her, at least as far as Samara knows. Achilles heal! Samara would probably have Liara right up until the nearly dead part, and then she'd have some moment of conflict, leaving the opening for the younger biotic to close the door on the Justicar. Oh, and while Liara is nice and all, we KNOW how she gets when it comes to Commander Shep. Downright scary, in fact. How about that recording of Shep's life in the hope that some crazy civilization in the future will find it? That's what we call indoctrinati....um, devotion! Push comes to shove and Liara does what she has to do. Sorry Samara, but its okay. You were kind of married to your job, anyway.
Victor: LIARA
We knew she was a waifu from day one. Really, who's kidding here?
Anyway, I am sure others would disagree with this outcome, and I look forward to any redacting of this result, with appropriately light hearted text.
