User blog comment:GSFB/Kurgan vs Ash Williams/@comment-5232784-20130607054009

Okay sportsfans lets get this on

1. Short

The Chainsaw Ash uses is a very powerul one, capable of cutting through flesh and bone with ease. It is a very powerful weapon.

Yet the Kurgan wears Knight's armor, made of steel: this will pose a problem for Ash's chainsaw attacks. He'll have to hit him in either a small greave or opening in his armor, or hit him in the face (the only open spot on his body). Yet Kurgan is a big, very powerful man with a helmet useful for headbutting attacks and gauntlets backed by peak human strength. In the film, he kicks like he is trained in the martial arts (either he was himself trained or he took the skill from another immortal when he took his or her head). Ash does not show martial arts ability in the films. So Kurgan had peak strength, armor, a head bashing helmet and guantlets, while Ash only has the Chainsaw, which won't do much good against his armor.

If it was not for the savage power of the hand saw, I would give this to Kurgan

EDGE: Dead Even

2. Mid range

The Woodaxe is useful for slaying mortals and deadites, and could be utilized as a beheading weapon.

However, the Kurgan broadsword is almost solid steel, the steel blade more than capable of cutting through the wooden handle of the wood axe. If the sword gets entangled in the axe head and handle, the Kurgan will use his incredible power to whirl Ash around or throw him to the side, taking away Ash's weapon in the process.

Bigger steel blade, smaller handle, more killing power, nuff said...

EDGE: Kurgan

3. Long range

This is where Ash begins to shine. While the Kurgan's quickening sword blast is powerful, it does not have the range or blunt trauma power of the dreaded Boomstick. The gun is so freakishly powerful that it can blow a man's head off with one shot.

Remember: to slay an immortal, you need to remove his or her head from the body...

EDGE: Ash Williams

4. special

The Kurgan can heal fast, and cannot be killed unless you take his head. Regular shots from a Winchester will not cut the mustard, especially since Kurgan is wearing Knight's armor. He'll have to get in close and hit him right in the face, and close quarters is what the mighty Kurgan is all about.

Still, the winchester packs a mighty wallop, and I think could decapitate or bust the head of a human being if shot into the face at close range. Also, after the Kurgan is downed momenarily by the Winchester, Ash could get his chainsaw going for a decapitating strike. I think Ash has the advantage here.

5. X Factors

Ash has the advantage in long range here: the boomstick and winchester rounds will go farther than anything the Kurgan can dream of in this battle,

However, the Kurgan has countless centuries of combat experience on his side, and like Ash has fought inhuman beings (In Kurgan's case other immortals). Kurgan also wins in Physicality: he is bigger, much stronger than Ash, and can rapidly heal from any physical punch or kick that good old Ash could give.

Training wise, Ash loses again: The Kurgan was well trained by both humans and Immortals (including one known as "The Bedouin"), and with every beheading he gains the knowledge of those he kills. So though he is three millenia old, if you combine the knolwedge that he has attained from other immortals, you have in the Kurgan someone with countless millenia of experience, a literal army of one! Ash has nowhere near that level or training: indeed, there is no evidence that he has been in the military (though he knows how to fight with medieval spears, indicating that he likely studied medieval fighting techniques in college).

Though Ash has the long range capability, training, physicality and experience goes to the Kurgan.

EDGE: Kurgan

Though Ash has the better long range weapons, I give this to the Kurgan: his experience, training, armor and physicality guatantees him survival in this match. Ash is a good fighter, but the Kurgan is a conqueror, fighting for far, far far, far longer and slaying far, far, far, far, far, far far far more than Ash could dream of.

The Moment Ash brings him low with gunshots, the Kurgan will ressurect and suprise him. It will end up the same way as the fight with the gun toting marine vigilante in teh first Highlander film: after seeing the Kurgan behead the immortal Qastigir, the vigilante pumped him full of lead. He went to check on the body, only to find nothing...then he turned around and found the Kurgan, and a broadsword in the belly.

This time, however, the Kurgan will not let the hero live...
