El Alamein's "We Have the Gods on Our Side" Edges:

 Close Range: Twin Hooks vs. Maquahuitl:  Unlike what Leolab said, the cotton armor plus wooden shield are enough to knock aside the very focused point of the twin hooks. Sure, it's steel, but because it's a narrow, slashing weapon, I doubt it has very great penetrating power. The Maquahuitl isn't a better weapon than the Twin Hooks, but against an unarmored Monk it's going to rip through him like a knife through butter.

Edge: Aztec Jaguar Warrior

 Mid Range: Ji vs. Tepoztopilli:  Eh, the Ji has a spear-point and an axe, the Tepoztopilli just has a spear point, and it's flaky obsidian, not steel.

Edge: Shaolin Monk

Long Range: Sleeve Arrows vs. Atlatl: I'm inclined to agree with Leolab, but the Aztec's armor will make the arrows that much more useless. This is a very slight and insignificant edge, but the Jaguar Warrior still takes it.

Edge: Aztec Jaguar Warrior

 Special Weapons: Whip Chain vs. Huitzauhqui:  Sure, it's apples to oranges but Leolab doesn't even make sense in saying that the Whip Chain has killing potential - so does the Huitzauhqui! Heavy tip, rotational momentum, disarming potential, yeah, that's all nice, and I'm going to agree, but the Huitzauhqui is still gonna carry its own weight in this match.

Edge: Shaolin Monk

WINNER: AZTEC JAGUAR WARRIOR

Are you kidding? It's a pacifist monk against a trained soldier. A man who fights for defense against a professional military man. Armor and agility against no armor and agility. The monk is swift and trained in martial arts but the Jaguar Warrior is just as fast and is skilled in combat, but he has armor. His weapons may be a little worse off, but this isn't a one-sided Maori vs. Monk fight because the Monk won't be able to use his agility to his advantage. The Jaguar Warrior wins because he's a professional warrior against a defensive fighter, and because his armor may be what it takes to allow him to close in and get the kill.
