Okay lets get it started in here, lets get it started in here, lets...

Uno: Bite vs bite

Unlike the werewolf's mouth, the Vampire's mouth is filled with nothing but fangs, making for a savage, serrated mouth, and the fangs are backed by jaws that can dislocate, allowing for a much large bite.

Yet the Werewolf's mouth will be larger, longer, having more reach, and the jaws, having the same type of teeth that a wolf's does, but larger, will prove a powerful crushing weapon as well as slashing one.

Due to the greater range of the wolf bite, I give this to the werewolf

EDGE: Werewolf!

2: Claws

The claws of werewolves and vampires should be about the same: long, sharp, mighty melee weapons. It would be difficulrt to determine if the werewolf's claws will be a strong as the steel strong Vampire claws, but considering that large numbers of werewolves prove larger than Vampires, it seems reasonable that werewolf claws will be larger and longer. Still, a Bowie knife can cut through a wooden sword far larger than itself, and the steel strong Vamp claw should do the same to the larger werewolf claw, if it indeed proves the stronger weapon.

Also to be considered is, if indeed the werewolf is larger (lot of assumptions here), they will have longer arms, adding to the range of their slashes.

I give this to the werwolf, due to having larger, longer claws backed by a larger, heavier build.

EDGE: Werewolf

3: X-Factors

Though not listed, strength will probably go to the werewolf, due to larger size and the other X factor showing that they are tougher than Vampires.

Yet Vampires score faster, smarter, and have slightly better senses. While werewolves become a bit dumber when in monsterous form, Vampires retain their intelligence, which may prove incredible after centuries of existence, if not millennia so. Vampires score as Kings on the X-factor category.

EDGE: Vampires

4: Weaknesses

While Vampires cannot stand sunlight, all werewolves eventuallyt return to human form, at least after nightfall (such as in the movie 'Bad Moon"). This means that, while Vampires keep their full power during the day, despite their reluctance to go out due to sunlight, werewolves are human, weak, very vulnerable.

Yet Werewolves don't sleep during the day, while Vampires do, and the human mind of the werewolf may prove quick witted enough to hunt down where Vampires sleep and stake them through the heart, decapitate them, or set off an explosive where their coffins lie.

Which is better: a superhuman in a super slumber, or a mere mortal that is wide awake, ready to ponder a means to slay a sleeping giant? Considering that some werewolves might not either attempt to slay sleeping vampires, or for that matter know how to slay them, it may seem the Vamps have the advantage. Yet both at this time would not fight each other, for the sunlight/human form weakness of both would keep this from a reality. Yet still, a smart awae mortal is more dangerous than a sleeping fanged superman.

EDGE: Werewolves

The main strength of Vampires here is superior speed, senses, and ultimately intelligence. Its one thing to be as big and as powerful as a beast, another to be both as strong as a beast yet as smart as a man. Speed, intelligence, senses will trump the brawn and ferocity of the werewolves

VAMPIRES VANQUISH THE WEREWOLVES
