User blog comment:El Alamein/Venator vs. Giant Short-Faced Bear/@comment-11993014-20130809012121

Apoc's "Ancient bear vs ancient man!" Edges.

Short range: The net and whip will only serve to anger the bear than to kill/incapacitate it while claws will do serious damage. EDGE: SHORT FACED

Mid range: Two spears, two bear claws. The diffrence is that the spears are more versatile and can be used on the front and back of the bear. EDGE: VENNIES

Abilities: Without weapons, we humans are little more than fresh meat. In this case, the armor will do nothing against Short face's jaws. EDGE: SHORT FACED

Psychological warfare: The bear will NOT be scared by the Vennies whereas the Vennies can be. EDGE: SHORT FACED

Combat experience: Both have faced many enemies before. EDGE: EVEN

Intelligence/creativity: The reason we have been succesful is because of our intelligence. EDGE: VENNIES

Weapon use: The Vennies are trained, but the bear KNOWS how to use it's claws and jaws and has been using them ever since it learned to hunt. EDGE SHORT FACED

Brutality: Humans can be as brutal as any animal can be. EDGE: EVEN

OVERALL WINNER: THE VENATORRRRRRSSSSS!

I'm pretty sure the battle will be in a colleseuim, so the bear will be confused at first by the cheering people and may try to attack THEM. The Vennies will take advantage and attack the bear first. If it is not in the stadium then it's the bear's game.
