What's the motivation for the fight? What's at stake? Are my clone and I fighting for the same reason? If there's nothing at stake, then there's no point. Call it a draw and go have fun. If the clone has more at stake for a victory, then he would be more aggressive. If there's nothing, then we'll be either very defensive or not fight at all.

I agree, and I would add that the state of mind can change comething top. Like if I'm feeling a bit happier than my clone, I may find myselft trying less to win than him who would be feeling anger.

You can't occupy the same space, so your space would be different than his. Thus you and your clone would experience different things and differentiate.

Clearly, hot sex (masturbation?) is the only answer.

Ok, seriously, the slightest differences in scenery behind the opponent and the fact that usually when fighting you tend to take an opposite drum beat rhythm against your opponent would cause enough causal difference that I really really doubt you would see very many mirror image moves.

We'd figure out how to clone jessica alba the same way.

The ultimate fight of clones.

If I had to fight my own clone, it would be interesting, because I am a very defensive fighter, waiting for my opponent(clone) to make a mistake.

I would argue that unless you are an expertly trained fighter that it would not be perfectly symmetrical. Just like when I play mutliple games of starcraft every one is slightly different. If I go to throw a punch it will be slightly different every time since I have no idea how to punch, meaning my punch and my clones punch would be timed slightly differently with different angles of approach. Once things are no longer symmetrical everything becomes dynamic.

But honestly, I wouldn't fight myself. We'd be the best of friends!

I'd strike up a conversation with myself. When I talk, I've got a very vocal bodylanguage, so I'd simply wait for his position to be different then mine, then launch whatever attack felt opportune. Since we'd be positioned differently due to the differing body languag based on the talk at hand, we'd not fight identically, but rather more dynamically.

After a short fight though, we'd realise so many other people deserve our scorn and wrath, and instead turn into the perfect serial killer, with one of me killing while the other me giving me alibi for the time of the murder.

I can throw a punch and hit slightly different a thousand times in the same spot. Anyone who assumes fighting your clone would make it identical is just an idiot lol.

If you were to do the exact same motions and actions, you would have to be standing in the same place facing the same direction. If you assume a mirrored room, you would hit eachother in the fist and probably back off and perpetually waited for the next move, if you are the type of person to give the first punch. If you are defensive I would guess you would just forever circle each other rolling your fists like boxers.

Personally I wouldn't fight myself, I'm too hot.... hmmm... wierd half-gay (maybe?) thoughts came into my head.

Female clone and I would have a good time. Does not bother me who ends up on top >_>

@thesideshow: Completly agree on the cloning Jessica Alba idea, must add that to my agenda.

First of all, this is all hypothetical, does being right in this situation make you a better person?
Second, YOU would be throwing the same punch at YOU at the same TIME. What you described is successively different punches at different times.... aiming for the same spot.

Considering humans constantly learn and adapt, the only time a clone would be "identical" was the instant of its creation, and after that both the clone and the original would begin to stray apart.

Someone might had said this already, but if you were fighting a clone of yourself, it isn't an exact replica in which you would even have the same thought processes.
The way we can clone animals is by taking their DNA and creating an embryo in vitro (in a test tube). So lets say you are 20 years old now and you use your DNA to clone yourself. Your clone would reach the age of 20 when you are now 40.
Plus, although you may look the same, there may be physical differences. Maybe your clone worked out more than you.
The thing I don't like about your arguments are the "exact same thought processes".
But, to answer the question (which is the purpose of the thread)...I would win, since I would be older than my clone and have more experience with life in general. ^^
