Well, Blazblue is nearly ending, yet Guilty Gear is pretty much far from ending, and they still used them. MK and SF are possibly far from ending, and yet they already used a few fighters from there.

Luffy will prolly win. While both combatants have similar fighting experience, Luffy is much more stronger and faster than Reed. Reed is more of a scientist and a scholar, so he somehow fights similarily to Batman. While Fantastic needs some prior knowledge, Luffy figures out his opponents in the heat of battle; he fights the strongest opponents almost all the time without a second thought.

And despite their elasticity being similar, Luffy's strength is added on to his attacks, making him effectively more powerful. Also, Luffy has abilities beyond his elasticity: Haki. He has Kenbunshoku Haki which grants him great sense, which makes Luffy even dodge a volley of bullets while simply walking. Busoshoku Haki, which makes his attacks stronger, and if opponents use it against him, can even harm him while stretched. And finally, he has Conqueror's Haki, which is strong enough to knock out a huge group of people.

Yes, Reed is smart, but I don't think he might have enough time to realize Luffy's weakness to water. If he uses his inventions, maybe, though I'm not entirely sure.
