#idk i feel like steven would like the spirit of a battle tournament but not be excited about the actually fighting part

Idk there's something very funny to me about "who would win in a fight" posts that use the squishiest, saddest picture to represent Steven Quartz Universe vs whatever evil horrible bastard from a different show that would not listen to his friendship speeches. Bc if we're assuming these characters are supposed to be at their peak for an interesting fight, then yeah, Steven doesn't *like* fighting, but that doesn't mean he won't do it. And at his peak, Steven is a tanky, overpowered half space god who specializes in defense and healing and who very much does know how to utilize his powers. That's not even going into his fucked up mind/dream psychic powers. Like obviously a lot of the matchups are done with the idea that Steven will try to talk no jutsu his way out of the fight and then get immediately curbstomped, but I think it would be way more interesting if someone actually took into account Steven's abilities to see how he would fare in a fight against characters not receptive to talking
