The **Official** HUANG RONG vs. XIAO LONG NU DEBATE
Okay, I have enough of that pointless GJ vs. YG debate. I won't even bother reading that huge thread anymore. We all know that no clear winner will be found and the conversation will drag for ages without any conclusions, at least until Jin Yong himself writes the fourth edition of LOCH or ROCH.
So.. let's discuss about HR vs. XLN
Without any doubts, both are considered the best female fighters in the entire Condor Trilogy (arguable with some speculation if one is to consider Guo Xiang at her peak and LYC at her peak are better than these two women).
Some said XLN's martial arts at her peak is higher than HR by a slight margin, but HR will win the fight because she has the intellegence to help her.
XLN knows the Ancient Tomb Swordplay, QZ Swordplay, L-R technique, The Jade Heart Manual, parts of 9-Yin, unsurpassed lightness of kung fu, jade bee needles technique, and can control her bees.
Her weakness is her intellegence and simple mind
HR knows Peach Blossom Kung Fu, Full 9-Yin, Dog Beating Stick Techniques, Arts of formation and strategy, ursurpassed brain power (second to none in the trilogy), and her special protection body vest.
Her weakness is her complex mind which led to her inability to learn L-R technique.
Okay... let the battle begin !

Yah, the whole Gj vs. YG thread is getting massively long and I don't read it either. Although I would agree that WY would win because she's so intelligent and cunning, XLN's simple mind actually served her quite well. Her best technique is combining QZ and AT swordplay through L/R Hand, which can only be learned by people who have that simple mind. Without L/R Hand and thus the synergy reaped by the swordplay combination, she'd wouldn't have stood a chance against the GWM.

A lot of people think the L/R Hands Technique is just a bunch of tricks designed to fool the opponent so depending on who you talk to, it may not be considered a weakness at all. I'm not sure if this is the case since GJ says there is a great improvement in technique that can be achieved via L/R Hand. I'm don't think WY's inability to learn L/R Hand counts as a weakness. She's unable to learn HL18P so would that count as a weakness also? Nonetheless, you still may be correct because in a close battle L/R Hand may be the decider like when ZBT fought KCY.
I think WY wins by tricking XLN into thinking that WCY and LCY would not approve of her use of QZ and AT swordplay together because of their less than amicable breakup, thereby causing XLN to stop using the two techniques out of shame. Even without mind games, WY could probably confuse XLN with some of those very slippery and tricky 9 Yum techniques. She's also quite handy with Peach Blossom Island kung-fu though I wonder if she could perform the Divine Finger Flick with any great effect.
