Q would still have his usual personality, so out-thinking him would be a legitimate way to beat him. Failing that, there is always the "more gun" approach: use powerful enough attacks or reality warping to take him out.
The problem is his usual personality doesn't apply to an actual fight. He doesn't show up to fight Picard, he shows up to test him. We've never really seen Q trying to just eliminate someone without giving them a "fair trial" of sorts, nor do we know what limits he has to his powers.
This isn't a problem because we've had fights where voters decided a character would win for reasons other than overpowering their opponent before anyway. Personality is NOT overriden in a fight. If Q isn't a fighter he will not fight and that is that.
As for undefined powersets, I believe we've seen Q's upper bound, haven't we? IIRC he once or twice showed a much greater extent of his powers off than his usual gimmicks.
