Cfp3157's "The Battle Begins, EA-son" edges:

Close Two-Handed: The reach of the Zweilhander is better than the Katana, but the Katana is faster. Edge: Even

Close Short blades: The reach is better with the Wakizashi. Edge: Samurai

Mid: The Pike has a lot of reach, but it's basically a one-shot killer. It's slow and clumsy compared to the Yari. The Yari is faster and long enough to get the job done. Edge: Samurai

Long: The only edge the Tanegashima has is that it has a front sight. This allows better accuracy. Edge: Samurai

Armor: The design of the Kabuto helmut allows heavy weapons like the Zweilhander to glance off the head of the wearer. Edge: Samurai

Overall Edge: Samurai. He has every edge except the Close two-handed, and that's a tie. mixed with his excellent training, there will be Glory to Japan.
