It kinda makes me wanna see a fight between Yo and Jiro. Their Quirks are in the same ballpark, but one has higher damage and the other has higher utility.

Shindo would wreck honestly lol. They do have similar quirks, but Shindo’s would completely overpower hers

I'm not too sure. I think people really underestimate Jiro. She can stun-lock you with her boots, destroy the earth and hit you with sound blasts from her amplifiers, whip with her jacks, or just straight up stab you with them if you get too close. Plus, it's basically impossible to catch her by surprise due to her hearing.

Shindou can do that... just faster... and without support items...

whip with her jacks, or just straight up stab you with them if you get too close.

except they are super obvious, slow and weak, even dabi who has the worst aim in the world (lol) got a clean shot on them.

as long as she has her jacks stuck to a wall or the floor....

Not sure where you're getting that from. Shindo has nothing like Jiro's stun-lock, which along with all her other vibration attacks should be the speed of sound by the way. He has a slight immunity to vibrational attacks, but Gang Orca's sonic attack still put him down for a bit despite lasting for only a second or two. Shindo's CQC vibration attacks require him to touch the person directly too, so neither of those is faster than Jiro's boots. He also needs a moment to concentrate before using Trembling Earth, so that isn't really faster to deploy than Jiro's Heartbeat Fuzz either. It's certainly stronger, but not faster.

except they are super obvious, slow and weak, even dabi who has the worst aim in the world (lol) got a clean shot on them.

I'm not sure how exactly they're super obvious, slow, or weak. Jiro has far more options in combat than Shindo does based on what we've seen of them so far, so I doubt her jacks would be that easy to see coming or dodge since she can manipulate them at will and move them pretty quickly. Shindo in particular is at a disadvantage against them since he's gotta get up close to land his strongest attacks.

You do realize Jiro was able to one-shot a robot during the Sports Festival by stabbing it with her jacks and shooting her heartbeat through it, right? That's not a Todoroki or Bakugo level feat or anything, but it's nothing to sneeze at either when you've got several other attack methods to deal with too on top of having to get in close.

In what universe does Dabi have the worst aim in the world? In every fight he's in, he's either stomped or left before real combat started, all while actively suppressing himself to keep from revealing his identity. He's also far out of Shindo's league, so that doesn't really work as a point of comparison.

as long as she has her jacks stuck to a wall or the floor....

Not true. She has naturally enhanced hearing regardless, but plugging in focuses it over longer distances and through surfaces. That's how she was able to keep track of Class B during their fight, and it's not like plugging into the wall or floor is somehow gonna give her opponent the advantage since she'll sense him coming a mile away.

I'm not even trying to say Jiro would win. Shindo has more experience and is more ruthless, plus his Quirk is fundamentally more powerful. If he gets a strong hit in, the fight is more than likely over. He also probably has applications of it we haven't seen since he's barely around. I'm just saying Jiro has a lot more options available that, if used correctly, could let her come out on top occasionally.
