Alright Morph, on the matter of Daken VS Gambit.
***SPOILERS****
I think it's clear Daken just wanted to stall Gambit while Colcord had the chance to inject X-23, but the real question is....Why the need to stall? Why couldn't Daken logically gut Gambit if he wanted to then take on a distracted X-23? We know he's more skilled and has the pheromones to help best her. I think the writers were just giving Gambit a lot of credit, TBH. I'm glad they've been giving Gambit's speed/reflexes more credit, though. He was reduced quite a bit in that aspect during Legacy. So regarding this fight, I don't see why Daken would just LET himself get smacked around, especially since he is capable of pulling a stalemate without the use of his claws. In conclusion, I think they gave Gambit a lot of credit, but made it clear Daken was also just trying to keep him distracted as Colcord found a moment to inject X-23.
***END SPOILERS***

@ K4tz - Daken could have chopped Gambit's head off at the end, instead of punching him, but I figure he may have thought he would be far more useful to him alive. Likely for experimentation, something he was talking to Colcord earlier on. A small bonus along with X-23.
Other than that, I agree with your estimation. Gambit was given great credit, but Daken didn't seem to have his head in the game.

Daken was holding back and stalling but other than that it was great.

I think Daken was stalling too but Gambit showed some serious skill.
