Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: Both warrior's are precise in their weapons, both excelling at their primary options; thrusting for the naval officer's sword and the slashing power of the cutlass. However, my edge goes to Nelson, his sword is great for parrying blades like that of Blackbeard's. Edge: Horatio Nelson

Medium: Another tough decision considering they do have equal length. However, my edge goes to Nelson's bayonet. It can be placed upon the barrel of the musket or be taken off if things get too close. Once Nelson slips past the pike, it's over for Teach. Edge: Horatio Nelson

Long Range: While the musket does have that range advantage, this is taking place on a ship. One ship The musket is great when a firefight breaks out between two different ships, but when once pirates or sailors are able to board an enemy ship they switch out to pistols, swords, axes, and pikes. Ultimately, considering how and where the battle is taking place, the pistols take the edge. Edge: Blackbeard

The Deadliest Warrior: Blackbeard, considering the environment, Edward Teach has the better arsenal. His pistols will gain him the majority of the kills since Nelson's primarily long range weapons will keep him off balance since this is easily a close quarters fight. 590-410
