GT25's Edges

Leaders: Negan vs. Joker

- Close Range (Hunting Knife and 'Lucille' vs. Switchblade and Crowbar): In terms of their blades, the Hunting Knife has the longer blade while the Switchblade is concealable. However, I think that 'Lucille' is superior than the Crowbar in this comparison. While the Crowbar is made of iron and could be used to beat someone, the baseball bat can be used better to do the same and the top being covered in barb wire is the cherry on top in terms of damage. While the blades could counter each other in a way, 'Lucille' is what tips the scales here. Edge: Negan

- Sidearms (Desert Eagle Mk. VII vs. Custom M1911): Yeah, no real comparison with this one. The M1911 may have the superior round in terms of size, the Desert Eagle has an extra round and has the higher muzzle velocity. Despite the larger round, I'd rather have the extra round in the magazine. Edge: Negan

- Main Firearms (Custom MAC-10 vs. Custom AK-47): This is rather strange, as its comparing a suppressed submachine gun against an assault rifle. Depending on the situation, either could benefit the user and give an edge for the wielder. Additionally, the added scope on the MAC-10 could be make it more accurate than the standard iron sights on the AK-47. However, without taking the terrain into account, the assault rifle will be more to work with than the suppressed submachine gun. Edge: Joker

Groups: Saviors vs. Joker's Gang

- Close Range (Smith & Wesson M&P vs. Glock 17): While both are modern pistols, the S&W has the larger of the two rounds and both have the same muzzle velocity. However, the Glock 17 has four more rounds in the magazine and, while it's a small edge, it's still an advantage. Edge: Joker's Gang

- Medium Range (Benelli M4 Super 90 vs. H&K UMP45): The old shotgun vs. submachine gun debate. For these kinds of comparisons, it comes down to the ammo and the number of rounds each gun has. This usually means that the shotgun has the superior ammo while the submachine gun has more ammo. However, I'd give the advantage to the shotgun in this case as the saviors are use to fighting zombies and would be going for headshots to ensure quick kills. While the UMP45 has more ammo than the Benelli M4, it won't matter if the user's head is blown off. Edge: Saviors

- Long Range (Customized AR-15 and Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 vs. H&K G36C and FN FAL): Honestly, all four firearms have the same ammo (the 5.56x45mm and the 7.62x51mm respectively) and have the same number of rounds in the magazine (20 rounds and 30 rounds respectively). However, the AR-15 and Springfield M1A have the higher muzzle velocity and can be used to snipe someone very quickly. For this, it really depends on outside factors rather than the weapons, so I'll call this even. Edge: Draw

- Special Weapons (Stryker Crossbow vs. M84 Stun Grenade): No contest. While the grenade can stun someone long enough for a kill, the crossbow can actually kill someone and do so without making much noise. Edge: Saviors

X-Factors: Starting off, it's Negan's 82.4 against Joker's 61.4. Honestly, there's not much to talk about. Negan has a physical and mental edge against the Joker, is much more brutal, and has a group who are more loyal to him. Both are close in tactics, but again Negan has an advantage even if it is slight. To be blunt, Negan has the advantage in all x-factors compared to the Joker. Edge: Negan

Overall: This is probably one of the most lopsided fights I had to judge, as it's clear who is the victor here. Simply put, Negan and the Saviors have the advantage in both weapons and x-factors compared to Joker and his gang. Sure, the Joker's main firearm is superior, but Negan outclasses him in both sidearms and close range weapons especially with 'Lucille' at his side. It's the same when looking at the groups, as the Saviors have superior medium range and special weapons which is more than the close range weapons of Joker's Gang. While no edge was given for long range, I wouldn't be surprised if the Saviors outright dominate against Joker's gang with their weapons.

In addition to having the superior weapons, Negan has the edge in all x-factors which gives him a massive advantage in the fight. I think the biggest thing bringing the Joker down in this fight is his insanity. While it could make him unpredictable, it doesn't help him in the long run against someone who is more mentally stable than him. Simply put, Negan has a majority of the edges in all the categories and has simply what he needs to emerge victorious against the Joker.
