RS's Southern Edges!


 * Close Range!: The Katana is extremely overrated, the Zweihander is basically a Claymore on steriods, however, both won't do jack shit against the other's armor. Then on to the other swords no one cares about, I'll give it to the Wakizashi for it's pure slashing power. The edge goes to the Samurai!


 * Medium Range!: The Pike may be longer, but it's designed for Army-Vs.-Army combat, and is near useless in one-on-one. The Yari, while shorter, is much more versatile and more suited for single combat The edge goes to the Samurai!


 * Long Range: The Arquebus gets this, it's made to take down heavily armored foes, and can get the edge in accuracy The edge goes to the Landsknecht!


 * Armor: The Landsknecht gets this edge as well, it may not be as protective as the Samurai's, but it alows for much more mobility, which is extremely vital when firearms come into play, most firearms really negate armor, so the Landsknecht gets this The edge goes to the Landsknecht!

And the Deadliest Warrior is...... The Landsknecht! Like I said in armor, mobility is everything when firearms come into play, the Landsknecht were literally designed to take down armored foes such as the Samurai, this shouldn't even be close.
