User blog comment:Geekboy27/All-out Mythical Tourney: Rayne (Beastman) vs Black Death (Geekboy27)/@comment-5232784-20130601174515

1: Weapons/Magic

Black death has the advantage in having a greater variety of weapons: While Rayne has fangs and claws, Black Death has daggers, Crossbow that fires incendiaries and sleeping darts, a small sword, and non-lethal throwing knives. Black death also has the long range capability due to the Crossbow and his power to conjure crows, rats and bettles to swarm his prey (Rayne can heal himself but needs to concentrate to do this: It would be impossible to do so when being attacked by swarms of little critters like this. Still, his flesh being so tough he could withstand the bites and pokes of the critters, but he'd stil be distracted long enough for Mr. Blac Death to deliver a deathblow, i.e. a decapitation (this also assumes Rayne's flesh is not tough enough to withstand such a blow, but vampires could be killed by simple decapitation).

One thing we have to remember: Rayne's teeth and claws can cut through metal, perhaps even steel blades: this will give him a marked superiority in close quarter combat.

Still, Black Death's arsenal is both more numerous and has superior range. You cannot beat that...

EDGE: Black Death

2. Physicality

Rayne has superhuman strength, agility and speed. The speed will be the crucial factor here, for though Black Death is quick, he has probably never fought someone faster than he was (You are in grave danger in a melee battle if your opponent is markedly faster than you are!). Rayne can run super fast, move his clawed hands with blinding speed: Black Death might lose this in a few seconds...
