Sergeant South vs. Raijin

 * Equipment  - South. I have to favour South will regards to equipment. Sergeant South's custom alloy shield is extremely durable and should protect him well against Raijin's electrical attacks. Even lightning. In addition to this, South's sabre will also out perform Raijin's Ninjato and Tanto as the material the sword is made from is lig
 * weight and durable and it's protection from electricity will cancel out the electrical damage Raijin's sword could of done to any other normal metallic material. The only real danger to South is Raijin's Luger but South's shield should protect well.
 * Powers  - Raijin. Raijin's powers is something South will really struggle to match with and it's argueably the most dangerous thing about Raijin. Raijin's ability to summon up to level 5 hurricanes and storms to match this level will both reshape the enviroment and make it a danger to South whom unlike Raijin, cannot fly. Raijin can also control the lightning from these storms as a lethal ranged weapon and one hit could potentially end South if he's not protected by his shield. Raijin's flight will also keep South in a hard position, in particular if South risks throwing his shield at Raijin when Raijin is flying. Raijin really can dictate the fighting ground between these two warriors with his powers and that makes him extremely lethal against South.
 * Training  - South. I feel as though this will really play into South's equipment edge also. South has fantastic training, and his knowledge of almost every martial art known to man means he is extremely skilled in fighting, reacting and moving. South has also had some military training as a special operative and that should help him cope with and perform well in combat. While Raijin does boast impressive experience as a  Yakuza member, it can't match South's martial art and military training.
 * X-Factors  - South. Looking at the x-factors, South has clearly got both the physical edge and the mental edge. South is stronger, being able to lift a tree, and faster, thanks to mix of the super-soldier serum he recieved and his lightweight suit. South also has better reflexes thanks to his ruthless martial arts training and super-soldier improvements plus his training and experience play into eachother's favour, making his X-factor ability superior.
 * Conclusion - Sergeant South get's my edge. This is something South will not walk away from without bad injury. Raijin's power is deadly with lightning and electricity and Raijin's power can transform the enviroment and make South struggle, but at the end of the day, I think it will be an obstacle South can get over if he's smart. He got the protection for ranged attacks, the physical and weapon superiority for close quarters combat and the body strength to get over the damage to the enviroment Raijin dish out. Raijin will be a ruthless foe, but I think in the end South, will make it out on top.
