'Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: The Yateghan gets my vote for greater reach overall with greater stabbing and slashing power. Edge: Suleiman the Magnificent

Swords: Katana, I feel, deals greater damage with greater reach since it can basically do what the kilij can do, but more. Also, you have to bring armor into this and Suleiman, based on the images I've seen, doesn't seem to like to wear armor as opposed to Oda who wears thicker steel and leather lamellar. Edge: Oda Nobunaga''

Polearms: The Yari is great against Suleiman's body which lacks protection. However, the halberd grants more options with that hack and the stab which is great against Oda who loves to fight on his horse. Edge: Suleiman

Blunt weapons: Chigiriki may have more options, but it can't deliver that quicker kill. The flanged mace will easily incapacitate Oda with one good blow against his head, even with that helmet. Edge: Suleiman

Bows: Yumi packs a way bigger punch than the recurve bow does. In the hands of a skilled Japanese samurai, the yumi can easily put out more arrows than the recurve can. Edge: Oda Nobunaga

Firearms: Both are matchlock firearms and seem to fire the same round. Edge: Even

Artillery: I'm going against the grain and granting my vote to the 2-pounder. Yeah it's a measly little Japanese thing, but think about it, the Dardanelles Gun will take so many soldiers to get that thing moving and will cost lives. It does pack that psychological factor, but the Japanese soldiers under great leadership are well-disciplined. The Dardanelles was meant to engage in siege warfare, not all out ground war. Edge: Oda Nobunaga

''The Deadliest Warrior:" Oda Nobunaga, his utilization of stronger armor gives him the win. Suleiman didn't wear much armor into warfare compared to Oda. Nobunaga and his men have more discipline overall and as we've seen through his battles, he's unpredictable and uses deception often, especially in the case of the Battle of Okehazama.
