Guren

strenghts: skilled in close combat and several longrange techniques, crystal release allows her to crystalize/neutralize most, if not all, Water release techniques. can convert life force into chakra. fast and agile. Has proven strong enough to battle the Three-tails and temporarily defeat it, therefore has experience with tailed beasts and large scale opponents.

Weaknesses: not the same chakra levels as her opponent, converting her life force can help her for a short while though.

Utakate

Strenghts: long range figther, Water release, soap bubble ninjutsu, nimble and agile, kinda has Sensor abilities, vast chakra reserves. jinchuriki of the Six-tails which he seems to be able to control to a certain extent. Six-tails abilities includes the usual tailed beast stuff combined with Water release and corrosive gas/liquid and is capable of absorbing very powerful techniques.

Weaknesses: not skilled in close combat, and seems overtly dependent on his bubble blower for the majority of his techniques. tailed beast transformation takes time.

conclusion:

pre transformation, these two are a very close match, though I think Guren would have a slight upperhand due to her versatility in both longrange and close combat. Utakata's bubbles allows him to both attack and defend, but even if his bubbles didn't stay solid long enough for Gurens Crystals to deal with them, I fail to see the bubbles having any effect on Crystal release. and when Guren Captures Utakata and Begins to crystalize him, he'll have the perfect opportunity to slip into tailed beast form.

Post tranformation: While Guren could battle The three-tails to a stand still, The six-tails is a completely different type of challenge. Six-tails corrosive abilities which can harm another, stronger tailed beast (Eight-tails) comes in a gas variety, dominating the entire battlefield. If Guren could defend against that, she'd be locked in position by her own defensive tech and thus become a sitting duck for a Beast ball.

Utakata ultimately wins.

Sorry for the Loooong post
