Power with Girl is better.
I was thinking that too. Even if you gave Johnny and Daniel their youth combined with later skills, it still doesn't make any difference.
I'm now picturing some campy scenario where the Kingpin, for no particular reason, wants to take over Cobra Kai only to have the new blind student walk in for lessons.
Power with Girl is better.
That then begs the question of who's the best dancer in the show, doesn't it?
Edit: Nevermind, it's Nathaniel. Much to Kingpin's relief, he isn't in this fight.

Not knowledgeable about Karate Kid and Cobra Kai, but given the consensus in this thread, what about early-S3 Matt? (let's say the first two episodes, with his partial deafness and lowered ability to take punishment. Maybe up to episode 3. By episode 4, he had recovered just enough to handle the traditional hallway fight, so by then he should be able to win as usual)
Result would still be the same. Even during the flashback when he beat up on the guy who was molesting his kid, he would still trounce every single last person who has ever been to both schools on at the same time and win.
Never liked her tbh, found her extremely boring.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ Know them. Follow them. Love them.
The closest approximation to a regular Daredevil fight against hardened-criminals would be the end fight from Karate Kid Part II, where Daniel was forced into an actual fight to the death, which, while dramatic and actually very nice and gritty to watch, was still slower, sloppier, and portrayed as much more draining for both combatants than what Matt usually does.
I think Daniel and Johnny in their primes, with a game plan, might have a chance, but only in a very quick blitz and if they get lucky - the second the fight would go longer than a few traded blows, they’re screwed. Older Johnny and Daniel might get entertained by Matt, but they’ll never get in a good enough blow to really sway the momentum of he fight, while Matt would probably expend more energy trying to restrain the kids without hurting them.
I still really like the level of skill Cobra Kai uses, as I think “good enough it’s stupid to fight them” is a decent area for more realistic fight scenes to be portrayed at... but it needs to be acknowledged that the most brutal bit of violence in the show thus far is a result of a decent kick accidentally sending someone over a forgotten-about ledge. Matt shakes off deliberate blows trying to emulate that and responds in kind in a regular basis.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
Either Murakami or Bakuto can solo the entire KKU and Matt held his own against both at the same time.
