JackytheJack's "Death by Snuff Snuff" Edges:

Close Range: Yeah really this first matchup doesn't seem to be that fair. The hidden blade may get one good hit in if Cash doesn't know it's there, but that's about it. It seems clunky and weird to maneuver it in combat and probably less effective than a hunting knife, which can more easily slash and stab if need be. So, this edge goes to Cash.

Medium Range: For someone like Connor, seeing someone with a roaring metal weapon charging at you would be god damn terrifying. i'm sure he would falter at least slightly. Enough for Cash to try and get a few blows in, but at the same time I do feel like the Chainsaw would have difficulties moving around and trying to move someone who can be nimble like Connor. That being said the tomahawks aren't any better. The best thing that Connor can do is throw them or try to hit Cash when he's trying to maneuver his chainsaw around, which I find slightly more likely. The initial shock of it will definitely screw Connor up, though, which is why this is EVEN

Long Range: While I do agree that the close quarters areas of dracula's castle would be more beneficial to Cash here, I doubt that it's going to help much against something that actually supposed to be used as a ranged weapon. Connor could easily outrange Cash with that weapon if they were on the opposite sides of the corridor. Cash wouldn't be able to get in range at all before he gets an arrow between the eyes. Because of this, my edge is going to '''Connor. '''

Special: Really not fair here. The shotgun does more damage and it's more accurate as well as having better range, and a quicker reload. Edge goes to Cash.

X-Factors: Okay, time to super analyze here. Connor, being an actual trained assassin, should be better at stealth that Cash here, who I doubt has the same amount of training as Connor does. That being said, the element of stealth can only last so long in a fight, considering how deadly a single encounter with Cash could be with the weaponry that he's packing. It could be deadly to either opponents, to be perfectly honest. With that being said I also think Connor takes this in physicality, once again due to his basic training as an assassin and his ability to overpower other trained officials. That and Connor can take one hell of a hit and still keep going, and he can react to gunfire, so I think it's pretty clear that he's at least a little more physically fit than Cash here, if at least by a little bit. Experience here is arguable for both sides. Cash has more experience with gunfights but as far as I know he hasn't really fought anyone like Connor before, so he could struggle trying to find out the tactics for this guy, though with that being said I will give him the experience factor for the sake of argument.

With that being said I think the Winner is Connor in this battle of the deadliest. If only because Connor has a lot of experience killing quickly, and he might be able to deal the killing blow quicker than Cash, especially since he seems to have faster reaction time and is arguably better with stealth, so even if he doesn't kill in that first encounter and manages to get away, he can try again. Of course, he isn't getting out unscathed. Hell no, that modern weaponry would provide quite the shock to the assassin, I'd assume (which would actually be really intriguing to see in action) but in the end I think he can overcome his shock and take down the murderer.

Oh also Connor definitely has the better armor. painkillers can barely be called armor in the first place, so...yeah.
