I've noticed you've listed "Good marksman" under Nausicaä's skills - but, I don't see any ranged weapons in her picture. So, which ones does she have, if any?

(And likewise, what about Cassandra? If Nausicaä has ranged weapons and she doesn't, then this fight is likely to be one-sided )

Well, Nausicaä typically carries a gun and sword(also sometimes grenades.) Meanwhile, Cassandra typically just has her sword.

Well, if it's "Gun + Sword vs. Sword only", then I really don't see how Cassandra wins this - especially if they're starting in a Standard Battle Arena 100 metres apart.

Nausicaä will be able to get several shots in (at point-blank range) before Cassandra even gets close enough to trouble her with her sword!

In such a situation, Cassandra would then charge and hope she's fast enough to get in melee range.

That's not a strategy: it's suicide .

I really think that, in order for this to be a fair battle, we have to either get rid of Nausicaä's gun, or give Cassandra some kind of ranged weapon.

Cassandra does have her athleticism and speed so closing the gap is possible.
Also, she has occasionally used a bow before and can even hit perfect bullseyes but she prefers her sword.

Yeah, but speed and athleticism can only get her so far... she can't outrun bullets !

And yes, she might prefer her sword, but if she has a bow, surely she recognises that some situations require that instead ?

Given Cassandra can do flips through an obstacle course with swinging weights, I wouldn't be surprised if she could dodge bullets. 
Although Nausicaä does have her glider.
