and i'm not just saying that because i love illyria in a straight out fighting match, illyria would kick her ass even more then glory did but if it got a big epic battle (i doubt it illyria doesn't like to play like glory did) then i'm sure the scoobies would find a way

I just can't help thinking of them fighting over Spike, lol.

I definitely say Buffy post power loss. But before that, Illyria for sure. Now Willow vs. Illyria with old god status, I just don't know.

ha ha ha ha oh that would be so funny spike and angel fighting over buffy, buffy and illyria fighting over spike and for some reason i can just picture cordy in the corner shaking her head

Haha, I can see that, with Cordy I really can. Wouldn't it be funny to imagine Angel's face if he stopped fighting with Spike and saw Buffy and Illyria fighting over the blonde?

ha ha ha ha he'd be like "hey isn't anyone fighting for me?" and then i picture cordy laughing lol

Ok so kinda the same, if it was a season arch kinda thing then I recon Buffy and the Scoobies would find a way to beat her. But then in a one time fight I'm sure Buffy would give her a run for her money but in the end Illyria would win!

hehe visual of these 2 fights and then Angel having a grump coz no-ones fighting over him. Then him and Cordy go off together to let Spike gloat to himself about Buffy and Illyria LOL! :D

ooo brilliant image of a buffy/spike/illyria threesome there lol

That's an interesting image. Don't think Buffy would be that adverse to girl or girl action now, lol.

*fans self*

I'm sure Spike would love it.

im going with Illryia because she's like a stronger vision of Glory and Buffy found fighting Glory very hard :] It has to be Illryia with all her power.

i'm going with nosemuffin on this one.

Technically, probably Illyria...but come on, Buffy always finds a way!

Illyria is a god. And not some lame god like Glory, but a badass, Old One GOD. She proved she could kill the entire Angel team. I say she'd snap Buffy like a twig, eventually. The fight would be fun to watch, though. It'd probably take a while.

buffy would kick illyria's ass!!!!!!i meant is there any person in the world who can beat buffy???

As much as I hate to admit it, Illyria would beat the Buffster pre-having her powers drained. But post having powers drained might be a tie...

depends... on Angel Illyria would beat Buf's ass but on Buffy of course the slayer would triumph.

All the way.

Buffy couldn't even beat Dark Willow, and Glory was a tough one, too. (Actually I'm not sure if Illyria would win against Dark Willow). But I think, with a good plan and the scooby gang and the fang gang they could probably have a chance.
