 God of Godzilla's "Sun Tzu's Umpteenth Death" Edges 

'''Swords-William. '''The Jian may be lighter, the Broadsword has a longer reach and the little extra weight allows more power with each cut, the Broad sword also has a bigger cross guard which gives William allot of ways to parry.

'''Axes-Sun Tzu. '''Though the Dane axe is useful weapon, the Dagger-Axe is basically a Chinese halberd minus an axe blade but with a dagger instead, the Dagger-Axe brings reach and variety to the mix.

'''Bows-Sun Tzu. '''Though the Self bow is a decent bow, it doesn't have much power compared to the Long bow which on average is 1.8 meters, the Reflex bow on the other hand can match the Long bow's performance with only a third of its length and these ones are 1.2-1.5 meters.

'''Crossbows-William. '''The Repeating only advantage is a high rate of fire and a magazine but the composite crossbow has more power, range and accuracy to this fight. Also if i remember correctly in Deadliest Warrior, the Crossbow was shot almost at a point blank range and the chainmail used was butted chainmail, not riveted chainmail that the Normans would be using.

'''Calvary-Even. '''William's troops will have a major mobility disadvantage as they only have three horses carrying 3 person, Sun Tzu's war chariots may be able to carry all of its troops but 5 people with full gear will greatly strain the horses and when the chariot is disabled, you will have 5 men possibly disoriented and vulnerable to enemy fire compared to one per horse.

'''Siege-Even. '''The Torsion Catapult gives William a major advantage as it allows you to hit targets behind cover and possibly have a variety of ammunition but it isn't mobile, the Fire Arrows are more mobile and allows you to set fire on certain areas to possibly make choke points but it has little use against infantry.

'''Armor-William. Yet again Steel beats Bronze, while the Bronze Shield of would be stronger and has a blade compared to the Kite Shield however the Kite Shield '''provides a bigger area of protection, both the cHAINMAIL and the Lamellar armor are weak to stabbing but the Chainmail protects the thigh and the arms and the Steel Helmet has a nasal to protect the face while the Bronze Helmet lacks a nasal.

'''Winner-William. '''Again and again, Sun Tzu loses due to William's superior metallurgy and more protective armor. If X-Factors were taken into account then William would be more experienced, maybe more physically fit and more training then Sun Tzu who possibly only had better tactics.
