Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-HYPEST SHIT, YO!


 * Swordsmanship- Jetstream Sam. Kai Leng has a much better made and more powerful Blade, but to wield a sword, one must have a great deal of skill with it, and Kai Leng isn't nearly on par as a swordsman as Sam is. For Sam, a sword is as much a part of his body as any other organic portion of it, and he wields the Muramasa with far more skill and technique than Kai Leng wields his sword- in comparison, Kai Leng seems to use only the most elementary of techniques and survives because no one else in the ME universe uses a sword. Hell- he doesn't even really use the sword as his sole weapon- he needs to use a palm-based firearm and fancy technology tricks to keep up with anyone, and gets his ass kicked by a crippled, dying Thane. The only way Kai Leng has a chance is if he corners Jetstream Sam in a cutscene written by way shittier writers than Metal Gear's usual fare.


 * X-Factors- Jetstream Sam. Kai Leng is more devoted to his cause, but devotion to the cause only goes so far when your opponent is just as devoted to the fight- and while Sam cares little for Armstrong's goals, there's also little he cares for more than finding a skilled swordsman to cross blades with. Sam is faster, and much more skilled and experienced- all of which are far more important in a swordfight than having more experience shooting people or having more training to shoot people.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Jetstream Sam. Kai Leng isn't really a skilled swordsman- he's a failure of a marine trying too hard to look badass from a shitty video game. Sam outclasses him in every way that matters for a swordfight, and thus, the Brazilian storm will be the one walking awaywith his head.
