User blog comment:Samurai Santa Claus/Shadow Duel: Lo Wang vs Shadow the Hedgehog/@comment-25253035-20200125152117

Swords: Jesus that tamahagane is really long. Normally I think that having any sword beyond the length of 3-4 feet is already an unweildy POS, but Shadow is no ordinary man and he can handle that blade like one handles a pencil. Basically speaking, Shadow's blade is loner than Lo.

Edge: Shadow

Sideblades: Lo Wang may have the inferior scalping knife than Shadow's actual military knife, but Lo Wang is carrying two weapons that can do thriple the fun: slash, stab and chop. He's got a knife and an axe which he can duel weild efficiently hence he wins.

Edge: Lo Wang

Rifles: The AR-53 has the longer range, the faster rate of fire and twice the magazine. The SIG SG looks like a toy compared to the more futuristic rifle.

Edge: Lo Wang

Handgun: Like the rifles, the obviously-not Desert Eagle has the larger amgazine, the more pwoerful round and far longer range. The USP tactical is screwed here.

Edge: Lo Wang

SMG: Ah yeah, the not-MP7 destroys the MP5 by being more advanced, more compact, having a larger magazine and longer range. Its got a sweet foregrip too.

Edge: Lo Wang

MG: Now this a great comparison. The M1919 has the longer range and the more reliable air-cooled barrel that won't give you much problems. The MG-Triple 6 on the other hand has the larger amgazine and faster rate of fire. In the end, in machine guns having the longer magazine is better, and belt-feds have practically replaced magazine feds anyways.

Edge: Lo Wang

Rocket Launcher: The last kiss goddby has a very slight advantage in range but its too small to make a difference. Lo Wn can carry more rockets but in rate of fire, it is still slower. The AT-4 is clearly the better weapon.

Edge: Shadow

Winner: Lo Wang

Miniguns: Both models are almost the same, except for the fact that the Raven has a larger belt-fed magazine. And in machine guns, having the largest magazine is more important.

Edge: Lo Wang

Special: i like that Lo Wang's laser weapon can damage as well as heal and make Wang stronger etc, but these are nothing compared to being able to stop time and teleport. Chaos magic seems to also deal more versatile and powerful attacks than the simple chi magic.

Edge: Shadow

Final Verdict: Initially I was going for Lo Wang because of his tremendous advantage when it comes to weapons. But while having better and more futuristic weapons are nice, Shadow can literally stop time, damage and teleport. Shadow doesn't need to even shoot his guns, and even if Lo Wang can dodge and take cover, that's pretty useless if you are facing a guy who can teleport behind you or stop time to basically put a rifle slug into your face.

Winner: Shadow the Hedgehog
