User blog comment:So-Pro Warrior/Mass Effect Tournament Round 1 Battle 6: Saren Arterius vs. Mael Radec/@comment-26074921-20120614213433

This is a close match but (as much as I don't want to give another vote to a Mass Effect character) I give my vote to Saren Arterius. Saren takes this fight for several reasons. The first is rather simple, better tech. Saren's weapons utilize mass accelerator technology, and given even more power via mass effect fields. this means that his weapons hit much harder and with greater velocity than Radec's. Saren also has better defenses, while his amour is for the most part inferior to Radec's, Saren has Kinetic barriers as well as his biotic's for additional defenses. Technology superiority isn't enough though, as any skilled fighter should know, and Radec is a skill fighter. Saren may not take most of the X-factors, but he takes the important ones, Training, Combat Experience, and Intelligence. (it also seems Saren loses points in some X-factors for very little reason). Saren's biotics also give him another layer of combat that should give him the edge.Saren may not be have as high "generalship" as Radec, but he is still a very talented fighter and special forces operative.
