Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edg-AMERICA!


 * Katana vs. Bionic Arm/Knife- Even. Deathstroke's skills with his Katana are easily superhuman- he can deflect bullets with ease, and use his superhuman strength to slash through people and metal effortlessly, and he even throws it with precision, impaling foes from a distance when he chooses to toss it around while Bucky's Metal Arm is immune to pain and other human concepts like fatigue, which will allow him to shield against Deathstroke's swordsmanship. Up close, Bucky's excellent knife-fighting skills and speed will allow him to outmove Slade and deal more damage, but that's going to require him closing the distance, something that will be extremely hard considering Slade's superior strength and longer reach, and with Slade's armor and healing factor, it's unlikely that the damage that could be dealt by the knife will slow him down for very long.


 * Guns- Winter Solider. The Winter Soldier is an excellent marksman and gunfighter, and though he primarily uses his Skorpion to reinforce his melee and as a secondary back-up weapon, it's still a much more effective weapon on its own than Slade's pistol. Ultimately it's still not likely that the Skorpion will deal much damage to Slade with the Mirakuru pumping in his veins, but the mine launcher certainly will- it's packing enough punch to at least knock him backwards and disorient him, and if used enough, it's one of the few tools Winter Soldier has the could potentially kill Wilson.


 * Armor- Deathstroke. Deathstroke's armor is full body, completely covering and shown to take more damage than the Winter Soldier's less protected gear- Slade is shown taking a full clip of point blank pistol ammo directly and shrugging it off like nothing happened, without even a scratch to show for it. Combined with his healing factor, and you've got an incredibly solid defense.


 * Abilities- Deathstroke. Both warriors are masters of hand-to-hand combat, are master marksmen, are master tacticians and are superhumanly strong, but while Winter Soldier is more mobile and agile, Deathstroke is more raw powerful, and he has a healing factor to go along with it.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Deathstroke. The best offense is a good defense, and Deathstroke's defense is difficult to break. His armor and healing factor will let him shrug off the Winter Soldier at range, and his strength and longer reaching melee weapon will help him overpower and eventually bring Bucky Barnes down.
