User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Oliver Cromwell vs. Takeda Shingen/@comment-28716800-20190407114719

Battlefan237's 'FurinKazan ! 'edges :

Swords:I'm actually with Tybalt on this and giving this edge to Oliver Cromwell . Why ? While the Nodachi has better base stats in terms of range, its weight hinders its convenience in usage, especially in cavalry combat. In addition, both swords are roughly tied in functions therefore making the asset in weight even more noticeable.

Spear:While both spears are roughly even in terms of length, Yari's unique crossguard adds versatility to it and snatches this edge. Edge：Takeda Shingen 

Firearm:Yeah I remember this issue being discussed thoroughly for a couple of times. Edge goes straight to Takeda Shingen due to him having the 2.0 version of Cromwell's weapon.

Special:Doglock pistols hit harder while yumi can do little harm to Cromwell's armor. Edge:Oliver Cromwell 

Overall:Oliver Cromwell is my bet. While I initially want Takeda to win because he has a more badass profile pic, I find it impossible majorly due to his inferiority in firearms. While he did nail a marginal victory in the musket category, he got owned disastrously in the long range section and armor section. In addition, Takeda relied too much on Yamamoto Kansuke in the initial stages of his reign and many of his later victories (Siege of Musashi-Matsuyama,Mikatagahara no tatakai Battle, etc) were won through superiority in number. On the other hand he got stomped by others even when he had more people (Battle of Uedahara,Battles of Kawanakajima - I consider this battle a defeat for Takeda because losing most of your most trusted allies and warriors was far from victory)  on several occassions. With all that said Cromwell might be an asshole but my vote goes to him.
