User blog comment:GSFB/Kurgan vs Ash Williams/@comment-5795750-20130611023300

BG1's "Name's Ash. Housewares." Edges:

Short: While the chainsaw hand is pretty deadly, it will tend to suffer from kickback plus I doubt it'll saw through the steel armour Kurgan has. As Skull points out, the chainsaw is connected to Ash's arm which means tha to get rid of it is to remove the limb - and for something with superhuman strength like Kurgan, that shouldn't be a problem.

EDGE: Kurgan

Medium: Broadsword is definitely bigger and it is designed as a weapon. It might be heavier than the woodaxe but Kurgan can handle the broadsword at the same speed as Ash can wield the axe.

EDGE: Kurgan

Long: I dunno what the sword burst does but I'm guess from the other votes it doesn't have the same range as the Boomstick nor the precision of it (even if the boomstick hasn't got good accuracy). Also, why else do you think steel armour became abandoned once bullets and guns got onto the battlefield?

EDGE: Ash

Special: Winchester is a great shotgun and has the potential to blow Kurgan's head off with a few well rounded shots (especially when you consider how fast Ash can pump the shotguns re: end of Army of Darkness). However, one must not forgo the rapid healing power of Kurgan (immortality does not make you indestructible) meaning that if Ash runs out of ammo before he can get the kill in, Kurgan will come back fast.

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Kurgan does indeed take experience given your description although I doubt he will have faced off against the undead in his millenia. Ash of course gets the edge in long range weaponry coz of his guns. For physicality, this is in fact dead even because although Kurgan is big and strong, Ash is small and agile compared to him which allows for Ash to get away from Kurgan before the latter can bring the hammer (or sword or fist) down.

Overall Winner: I actually see this as a battle that Ash Williams will win since he has armour-piercing guns that should effectively knock Kurgan down and out long enough for Ash to get a few more shots or a bladed weapon into Kurgan's head. Also because Ash is smaller and as smart and unpredictable as any human being (maybe even more so), he can (on-the-fly) create traps and distractions that Kurgan might not have seen before and thus is unused to.
