Pygmy Hippo's "I Don't Forget Either" Vote

Equipment:Now this is interesting as it's an impenetrable defense against a variable offense. Nothing is getting through the Vibranium Shield and the Avengers Uniform Mark III provides some nice additional protection but Big Boss explosives enable for indirect ways around this defense by rolling around or being placed in a spot that'll come in handy later. The SV Sneaking Suit isn't as durable as the other I'd reckon but it got reduced sound and reducedes bleeding so it's still useful in this fight. Boss' knife and firearms though are practically useless in this fight as Cap's faced more than a couple gun-wielders with the shield and not only blocker their strikes but also defeat them.

Overall, I'm going with Appel and giving this category to Captain America as his defense is also a pretty good offense which can be thrown as well as his suit being more protective. Big Boss may have the means to win out in a prolonged battle where he can put his stealthier equipment to use but he's going to have to survive the initial clash if he wants to do that. Edge:America

Abilities:Both are clearly superhuman in physicality but as others have mentioned, Cap has a healing factor, Boss doesn't so without going more into their feats which I believe Cap's feats to be superior anyways, let's go into fighting styles. CQC as others have stated meets its match against the shield-based Martial Arts because if Boss can't get around that thing with his arsenal, it's not a smart plan to get into melee combat with the guy who not only specializes in it but has an unbreakable primary weapon. Marksmanship won't help against the shield either so let's get into how stealth is countered by Cap's enhanced mind which should tell him something is up before he gets hit and even so I believe this will be a head-on fight at first which means stealth will only come into play after the first attack and that could be the end in all honesty. Edge:America

X-Factors:In Brutality, Captain America surprisingly takes this as he kills a lot more often than Big Boss. In Experience, both have faced a variety of foes but Big Boss hasn't been frozen for most of his life while Captain America was and is only now getting back into combat. In Training, Big Boss takes the edge again for simply having more of it than Captain America. Edge:Big Boss

Final Verdict:Sorry Appel but I'm probably stealing your thunder by voting for Captain America here. Big Boss is a great soldier but his main problem is getting around that Vibranium Shield which I doubt he's seen anything like it even in his extensive career and he's facing a physically superior foe. America may have lost out in X-Factors but he's not far behind in Experience and I can only see him losing this fight if Boss manages to get away to prepare a quieter counter-attack but I see Cap taking him down in the first confrontation most of the time.

Winner:Captain America
