Pygmy Hippo's "Natas Are Good Weapons Against Clowns" Edges

In this vote I will use one paragraph for comparing arsenals and abilities before I give my final verdict.

Poster Boy:In melee weapons, The Joker's clearly outclassed by Chris Walker despite having more variety, the crowbar and blades are going to be practically useless and while the joy buzzers might save him once at this range, it's unlikely to put the big fucking guy down especially since he has a huge reach advantage with the iron pole and can possibly block attacks with his chains, also this is a man who can kill people with his bare hands so going toe-to-toe with him is almost always going to be a terrible idea. In ranged weapons however, Joker has the clear edge with two handguns to thrown dead bodies which while powerful isn't the fastest or greatest ranged projectile and picking up new bodies each time is more of a pain for Chris than just squeezing the USP's trigger repeatedly and the Taurus is quite powerful itself. In special weapons, Smilex or Joker Toxin is clearly superior to the snare traps, if it can work, Walker might be resistant to tranquilizers but considering chemical restraints were still used at MMA, it might work but since it's not as powerful as it's comic counterpart and the strongest Variant is going against it, he might have a chance at fighting it off.

In physicality, The Joker's quicker but Chris Walker is stronger but while both are incredibly tough, the Clown Prince of Crime doesn't regularly punch himself full force in the face which most likely sends this category in the MMA Patient's favor. In intelligence, Chris can be smart at times but his mental instability can screw him over at times with unnecessary blows while Joker's just appears to make him a deadly and unpredictable fighter. In other skills, Walker's probably the superior hand-to-hand as he has actual training and taking down veterans>thugs and civilians plus his enhanced senses can help him find Joker if he hides while his possible mind hax resistance won't help him here, it will help against a certain Dr. Crane.

Overall, I'm actually siding with my boy, Chris Walker over The Joker due to the fact that the latter's best chance of taking him down is debatable at best. Granted gunshots aren't going to be good for Chris either but once he closes the distance and this is a guy who presumably snuck up on PMC soldiers so a clown shouldn't be that big of a problem once he realizes how big a threat he is. From there, Joker's agility and intellect aren't going to save him from the fact that one hit practically spells his doom. Edge:Mount Massive Asylum Patients

Mad Doctor:These two weapon sets can't really be compared in categories but Richard Trager's arsenal is clearly worse than Scarecrow's here. The "medical" shears and other variety of nasty tools plus a probably useless wheelchair can't really beat the Fear Gas. Scarecrow's claws aren't very useful but he can practically cripple Rick with just one weapon due to the latter's lack of mind hax resistance and tranquilizers being far less effective than it.

In physicality, Crane loses due to his broken body courtesy of Killer Croc while Trager is surprisingly strong for his size and quite tough. In intelligence, Scarecrow takes the edge as he's a master of examining opponent’s psychological weaknesses and led his team even better than The Joker while Rick's more rational than most of his comrades, he basically just relies on basic trickery and self-taught anatomy. In other skills, Crane is unchallenged with his stealth mastery while Trager has to open his big mouth whenever he sees someone.

Overall, I'm going with the group and saying that Scarecrow takes this category over Richard Trager due to his overwhelming fear gas, greater intellect, stealth, and somewhat better experience even if it isn't in hand-to-hand neither is his opponent’s in all likelihood. Rick could probably overpower and kill Scarecrow without the fear gas but his tough body is only going to hold out for so long against his foe before he dies. Given his stealth capabilities, Crane is almost guaranteed the first strike and Trager can't fight off his fears and his foe at the same time. Edge:Arkham Asylum Patients

The Serial Killer:Victor Zsaz has an incredibly basic arsenal for a murderer including the overused knives and a weapon used by the girl who got killed by Chris. Eddie Gluskin has some situational weapons like the table saw and noose but his knife is tougher due to being all-metal although he only has one and the game-ending sleeping gas. The moment Eddie uses that, Victor is most certainly screwed because he'll likely put himself at the prime distance to use it willingly.

In physicality, Zsaz can fight Batman evenly which has to say something for his physical prowess and should make him at least more agile and as tough as Gluskin. In intelligence, Eddie's smart at times but he's also the most insane member of his group while Victor's surprisingly clever and can put Batman in mind games and escape from prison with ease. In other skills, do I even have to say why Zsaz matching Batman in combat is better than Gluskin easily beating up other Variants and some guy with a camcorder?

Overall, I'm actually going with Victor Zsaz in this match despite Eddie Gluskin's OP sleeping gas. Yes, it'll surely lead to his demise but Eddie's so mentally fucked up, he might not even think to use it against Victor. Zsaz is likely to start attacking Gluskin immediately which means it's going to turn into a physical fight and there he should win unless again, sleeping gas is used. Edge:Arkham Asylum Patients

Weirdo:Professor Pyg has less weapons than Frank Manera but does that really put him at a disadvantage? Two of Frank's are as situational as possible and neither is that great at killing people while his handheld electric saw has more reach than dual cleavers, they don't need to be turned on and Pyg can use a different hand to attack in seperate places. Add in that similar tools tend to be horrendously heavy and Valentine should get more hits in and his throwing knives are clearly superior to Manera's sharp teeth.

In physicality, Pyg can match Batman and take down SWAT officers which is more impressive than Frank killing an entire cafeteria of Variants and security guards. In intelligence, both may be messed up in the head but Valentine at least aims for what hurts the most while Manera just smacks people until they fall to their knees so he can saw their heads open. In other skills, enhanced senses is utterly useless as Pyg isn't a sneaker and he's a better fighter than Frank.

Overall, Professor Pyg clearly beats Frank Manera with little difficulty in this battle. Pyg's got better weapons, better fighting skills, smarter, and he's got some head protection in the pig mask while Frank can't really compete in any category. Valentine's arguably more mentally unstable as he's prone to dancing in the middle of combat but Manera's cannibalistic tendencies aren't helping him too much either. Edge:Arkham Asylum Patients

The Duo:Two-Face has two guns, the Twins have three blades, sounds like an easy edge right? But considering that Two-Face requires a coin to flip a certain way to shoot people and he's up against the literal Twins, it's not clear if he'll be able to kill both before they get close enough to be a problem. This is possibly the most important match for abilities due to the "duo's" signature weakness.

In physicality, we've discussed similar situations twice before and Dent is still superior to the Variants due to those reasons. In intelligence, the Twins are more clever than they look and use their numbers and stealth effectively but Two-Face has won a gang war with The Joker and The Penguin partially due to his own great tactics but he's clearly worse off mentally than them. In other skills, yeah, I don't need to explain how much better Dent's fighting skills and training are to the practically an enigma Variants.

Overall, I think Two-Face wins this fight due to the fact that he'll probably kill one of the Twins outright with his Sphinxes. Although it'll be tricky to beat the other Variant up close, it's not like Dent hasn't faced better opponents and should be trained to handle that situation. After incapacitating the other Twin, it's one coin toss to determine whether he dies or gets knocked out, either of which counts as a win in my book. Edge:Arkham Asylum Patients

Goons:Yes, I'm pitting the Dollotrons and Variants against each other as it makes more sense than counting them as part of an arsenal. The Dollotrons are impervious to pain while the Variants feel it but other than that, it's a clear win for MMA. Actual weapons, actually being able to think, greater mobility, and at least equal strength means that the Variants should defeat the Dollotrons even if they lose a man or two. Edge:Mount Massive Asylum Patients

Final Verdict:While the Mount Massive Asylum Patients deserve their reputation as some of the most feared psychos in horror with the Hinamizawa Girls and Manhunt Hunters, they're no match for the Arkham Asylum Patients. Chris Walker is certainly going to be doing most of the work here but even he can't beat four weaker than comics supervillains with the help of some puny unnamed Variants. Scarecrow can at least take out the remaining Variants and Zsaz and Pyg can possibly bring Chris down on their own, provided Two-Face's coin doesn't flip the right way and he ends the face of Outlast himself.
