BeastMan14's "ALL DIS INFO" edges



Close-Range: Nathan Drake's Beretta wins it here. It brings in the most ammo, advancement, and power to its shots, and Drake is probably the most skilled user with it. He can fire it, hanging from a ledge, under fire from about a dozen men, in freezing temperatures. Yeah, he's just that good. Edge: Nathan Drake



Mid-Range: Vito Scaletta's Remington pulls ahead here. Its got the most range, ammo per clip, and reliability of any of the guns. Edge: Vito Scaletta



<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Long-Range: Nate's M4 is the gun with the most effective range, ammo per clip, and fire rate out of most of these guns. The only guns that match the M4's range don't match it in fire rate, and that drags them down. Edge: Nathan Drake

It's power and ammo were amazing, turning everyone it touched into a bloody pile on the floor, even if its accuracy was crappy at times. As much as I love the gun, not even my extraordinary bias for it allows me to give it the edge over the STG-44. It was the first assault rifle, a powerful, accurate, and reasonably ammo-equipped weapon that ushered in a new age of weaponry. Edge: Sean Devlin

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Training: I would give a solid tie edge between Cole and Vito, as they are the only guys here who have any actual military training. John Marston received some training from his gang and the people he met over the course of his journey, while Nathan Drake was taught everything he knows by Sully. Sean loses by a decent margin, because he has very little in the way of training considering he pretty much picked up a gun and started shooting Nazi's because vengeance. Edge: Cole/Vito, John Marston, Nathan Drake, Sean Devlin

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Combat Experience: Nathan Drake wins this by a large margin. For starters, he's taken on mercenaries, not-zombies, a russian war criminal and his massive army, the damn near unkillable Himalayan defenders of the Chintimani stone, and whatever the villain of Uncharted 3 wanted (need to get around to playing that) alongside countless mercenaries. Sean Devlin gets second, mainly because he's doing highly dangerous missions and fighting large groups of Nazi's, while John Marston and Vito Scaletta tie due to there constant on-the-move criminal activity. Cole Phelps gets last because, well, he really spends more time investigating than he does fighting said perps. Edge: Nathan Drake, Sean Devlin, John/Vito, Cole Phelps

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Intelligence: Nathan Drake wins here by a decent margin as well. This is a guy who can read off ancient languages like its nothing, solve giant puzzles with crucial pieces and hints missing, and deduce complicated riddles with a mere second of guessing. Cole Phelps is second, because he's a bright detective and smart tactician in his own right, while everyone else ties, because there's nothing to imply they have anything beyond average intelligence. Edge: Nathan Drake, Cole Phelps, Vito/John/Sean

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Mental Health: This is a decent sized tie between everyone except Cole for 1st. Cole’s atrocities committed during the war badly scarred him, and it hangs over his head like a ghost. Edge: Nate/Vito/John/Sean, Cole

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cunning: Nathan Drake wins this one too. In combat, he knows full well he'll get torn apart if he isn't careful, and he'll often rely a lot on tricky pragmatic routes to pull ahead. He'll thrown gas cans around at enemy cover points, he'll use other dudes as meatshields,  he'll attack from behind when the other guy doesn't know he's there. This is both a mixture of his tactical intelligence and ruthlessness. Sean Devlin gets second, as he often plans out elaborate attacks alongside the French resistance, while again, everyone else ties. Edge: Nathan Drake, Sean Devlin, Cole/Vito/John

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hand-to-Hand: 4-edge c-c-c-combo! Nathan Drake is the best fighter in this fight. He's agile, strong, and well rounded in up-close combat. He uses both his weight and speed to beat the shit out of dudes, often ending fights in three hits, sometimes even less. Cole Phelps and Vito Scaletta come in second. Because they show some form of fighting skill, capable of making a mockery of any foe unprepared for rushing into a fight with them. Sean Devlin comes in 3rd, he's more of a gunman than a h2h guy, but he can still hold his own, while John Marston comes in last, as he seems to be the least Hand-to-hand ready warrior in the fight, often relying on a Bowie knife in close range encounters. Edge: Nathan Drake, Cole/Vito, Sean, John

Nate is by far the most physical person here. He climbs mountains like its nothing, he can run huge distances like its nothing, and he can lift heavy stone objects around with little effort. Sean comes in second, as he has shown himself capable of working around the city of Paris with little effort. Vito comes in third, as there isn’t anything particulary wrong with his physical health. John and Cole tie for last, as they have been shot in the past, and it leaves an effect on them. Edge: Nathan Drake, Sean Devlin, Vito, John/Cole

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

Cole calmly gives orders, Nate, Vito, and Sean wisecrack, and John lines up shots. Edge: Nate/Cole/Vito/John/Sean

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

Cole comes in third, due to his army training. Vito and Sean come in last, due to the spray-and-pray nature of their guns. Edge: Nathan Drake/John Marston, Cole, Vito/Sean

I get to say who comes in what place now.

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

He brings the least advanced weaponry, the least experience, and he’s one of the least capable combatants up close.

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

He should have beaten John Marston in his fight, but anyway, he brings in automatic weapons, but has the second least advanced guns and worst mental health.

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

Vito brings in powerful weaponry and experience, but still isn’t as agile or advanced as Sean or Drake.

<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-36a4650b-2461-d68b-eca9-45007d23c44f" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

He’s agile, brings in reliable Nazi weaponry, and has a major stealth edge, but Nate has far more advanced weaponry, better experience, and hand-to-hand skill.

He sweeps most of my edges, and theres a reason for that. He wins by a huge margin over everyone else, and it’s entirely a coincidence that he comes from the best game.
