Alright, I'm gonna keep my part of the deal Las. Hope you stay true to yours.

Regular Weapons: The Violator gets the edge. Either way you look at it, a knife and a gun beat teeth and claws, and so do huge demon teeth and enormous demon claws. Guns and knives are simply more damning because of their engineering based on killing. Plus, they have that psychological factor, that "damn, this guy can kill me no problem," while all you have are your fists. If you go into demon form that "Oh SH** factor is increased a thousand fold, because now you're against some crazy enormous beast that has even bigger claws and teeth than you do.

I'm gonna call it even for powers. While Etrigan has powerful spells if he's too impatient to cast them, I'd worry that he'd be throwing away a valuable asset in his arsenal. Enhanced senses and healing powers easily compensate for that because it doesn't seem like they are spells themselves. However, the Violator's Telepathy, Teleportation, and Manipulation are excellent situational tools that can be used offensively or defenseively. Since they both have SH strength and all the basics of any superhuman demon thing, I'm calling it even.

Winner: The Violator. He's got better weapons, as I stated, and his powers definitely back him up, but the fact that he has higher intelligence and better training honestly makes me thing that Etrigan's experience advantage is pointless. Violator can think and make a new situation and use his training to, well, "cook up" new tactics that suit each individual battle.
