I don't even really remember Kick-Ass 2, let alone that fight scene. But I always remember that moment where Comedian goes out the window... so I chose that.

None of the above?
Watchmen, I guess.

Hit Girl v Mother Russia
Less sure of why I prefer it, but certain that I do.
Maybe I thought throughout the film, Mother Russia became Hit Girl's best opponent. The confrontation was looming.
No disrespect to Comedian and Ozymandius. That was a satisfying brawl, but it was made even better by events revealed later while Hit Girl/Mother Russia had some build up. I didn't know why Comedian and at that point, mystery man, were fighting, but it was a nice beat down still. I'm also a sucker for people being thrown out the window.
I definitely wanted Hit Girl to win her fight. If I'd known more about the Comedian before the opening brawl, I might have felt a less sorry for him. Barefoot and bath-robed nonetheless, some of the skeletons in his closet are real monsters.
I go back and forth on Watchmen all the time. There's little doubt in my mind it's better than both Kick-Asses, but it has a bunch of issues of its own.

I'm actually surprised the kickass fight scene won. Was thinking Watchmen had this. Oh well, Hit Girl moves on to the next round.

I think in my head Hit Girl beating Mother Russia was a David v Goliath kind of fight. A lot of the fight in The Watchmen hinged in details later revealed, when they it was revealed who killed him I thought that's it? Him? Looking back, I think I was more invested in the premise of a child (albeit a dangerous one) taking down a really dangerous adult. As a person (not a character or actor) the Comedian just kept going downhill. I almost sympathized until it just keeps getting revealed that he'd a monster, he doesn't care about civilian casualties, raped a teammate. Delightfully more complicated than I thought, but accompanied by the realization he probably got what he deserved. At the hands of another villain...
I didn't read the graphic novel before the movie so when they revealed the villain...maybe I was a little underwhelmed. He revealed his plans and I just thought whatever man, you do you. Maybe it's the actor, I dunno. Supposedly, the book is where it's really at, even though I liked a lot of things about the movie.

The graphic novel is amazing, but if you want to sloth through it, you can always watch the motion comic, which is excellently produced.

I personally would have all 3 Hit Girl fight scenes in the first Kick Ass over the Mother Russia fight, but it's still a good 'un. Shame it's "Superhero" fights being voted for and not "Comic Book" ones....Colin Firth's rampage in Kingsman (another Millar/Goldman/Vaughn film) I think would be a major contender in one of the categories
