Elgb's "Classic Slashers Who Don't Need Teenagers to Become Scary" EDGES!!!

Signature: The Kitchen knife easy. Although both weapons aren't designed for killing, the kitchen kinfe still comes close. It's a more effective and efficient weapon, capable of both slashing and thrusting. The cutthroat razor can only do one motion, and it shorter and very nimble too. If these weapons calsh, the kitchen knife can parry, while the razor will shatter at first or second contact. EDGE: Bates

Improvised: The kettle is purely a clumsy blunt weapon. It uses more energy and there's a possibility that the thin metal may crumble if used too much. The needles are longer and is more lethal. You don't need to put much effort and if one doesn't work at first, you have an extra if needed. EDGE: Bates

X-Factors: I'm not really inversed with Todd's play or movie, but he is one psychopathic intellectual. Bates is smart too, but his mental health and psyche tends to get him caught (twice if I remember). But one thing that he does have that Todd don't is brutality and strength. Todd is purely a prepster killer. He uses stealth too often in many of his skills and seldomly engage in an actual fight. But Bates use stealth too, but he has the advantage of being stronger and more experienced in a close quarters fight. EDGE: Even

Deadliest Warrior?

In this battle of classic killers who don't need teens to make them famous, I think the more insane Norman Bates woul win. While he's not as smart, he does take the edge in physicality and experience. Todd always has to set up a trap in order to kill someone, and while it sounds good on script, it won't do him no good if he's not prepared. Bates just murder people outright, but he can also use tactics when needed. If this was a prep battle, Todd would have tricked Bates and killed him. But in a straight-up brawl to the death, the more brutal Normat Bates would win.
