Okay, but doesn't being able to see various possible futures give Garnet a big advantage though? It is possible that Peridot has either a similar ability or another unknown power that could counter future vision. Possibly, Garnet's future vision can be countered with keen deductive and inductive reasoning, observational skills, and high intellect.

Imagine if you will, Garnet seeing a possible future with a very high chance of occuring, then it is a really huge advatage for her, as she knows what to do and what not to do. But if Peridot is as intellectually great as everyone assumes her to be, then it would be easy for her to infer which outcome is the most viable to occur with the data and observations given. That's just a battle of who guessed the right path, in terms of battle of physical strength, then Garnet has a high chance of winning against Peri.

If MMOs and RPGs have taught me anything, its that there are always power trade-offs. Take Sugilite for example, she has high defences and an even higher attack but suffers slightly in speed and gravely in intellect. She was brought down by Pearl, who is very intelligent, agile, fast, and accurate at the cost of physical strength and good defences.
