Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close- The Arbiter. His dual energy swords are fast, and can do some serious damage to Samus' armor if they can hit her. They have longer range than normal Hand-to-Hand, and while Arbiter might not be as fast as Samus, her own lack of weapons won't allow her to win this range.


 * Mid- Samus. The Missile Launcher is much faster to fire and can be spammed all crazy as hell, while the Fuel Rod Cannon is extremley slow, clumsy, inaccurate and easy to dodge, espicially for Samus.


 * Long- Samus. Samus' suit can take the plasma repeater easily enough while charging up a Power Beam shot that, when maxed out, would send the Arbiter on his little Great Journey faster than activating the Halo Rings. The Power Beam is easily the most versatile and dangerous weapon in this fight, being deadly at any range, not worrying about ammo and being able to charge it.


 * Special- Samus. The Energy Garrote is useless unless you can use it while sneaking, which won't be an option here, and even if it could get around Samus' neck, I highly doubt it will do any damage before Samus puts a couple deadly shots into the Arbiter's vital areas. The Whip has much longer range, deals much more damage and is more useful overall.


 * Explosive- Arbiter. The Plasma Grenades stick and are impossible to remove, and are incredibly powerful, dispite a pretty tiny blast radius.


 * Abilities- Samus. Samus is faster, stronger and trained just as well if not better. Her morph ball will allow her to spam explosives and dodge around the slower Arbiter, who's invisiblessed mode will be completly useless against her.


 * Armor- Samus. Her armor is FAR stronger, faster and more dangerous. From built-in ammo-less weapons, to more powerful shields, to simply better made armor. Ripa's armor was shit, even by the standards of outdated Arbiter armors, and will be next to useless by comparison.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Samus Aran. She wins out in nearly every category, and is simply the better warrior.
