User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/The "pro" season battle 5 Apache vs Ninja/@comment-122.57.202.252-20121227225008

Edges

Short Range: For this I am going to have to go with the apache as not only are his knives good for up close and personal combat but are also throwable. On top of that the apache will be carrying several.

Edge: Apache

Mid Range: This one goes to the Ninja as while the tomahawks are throwable if the apache throws one and misses he has just lost a valuable weapon. sure he is going to have a backup but i have heard tha apaches NEVER throw their last tomahawk and when the Ninja closes the gap with his Ninjato he is almost guaranteed victory with his longer and more versatile weapon.

Edge: Ninja

Long Range: Again im going with the Ninja as the blowgun does not need to hit a vital spot to kill. The deadly pufferfish poison that the darts have been coated with guarentee death within seconds. The bow and arrow is goob but you still need to hit a vital spot to kill. I think the only reason the blowgun didi poorly against the Spartan was because of his strong armour and shield.

Edge: Ninja

Special Weapon: This goes to the apache as specialised arrows are designed to kill while Shuriken are more of a distraction tactic. That being said however if the ninja is able to successfuly use his shuriken it could allow him to close the gap and kill the wounded Apache. Still the arrows are better

Edge: Apache

X Factor The war cry is not going to be very effective against the Ninja because as the Ninja are used to battling something as intimidating as a samurai i dont think an apache is really going to scare him. The Apache on the other hand will be killed silently and quickly when the Ninja employs his skills in stealth and then skwers him with his Ninjato

Edge: Ninja

Overall the Ninja will emerge victorious. Im not suer why the Ninja gets such bad press on this wiki because people seem to forget that while yes the Ninjas main tactic is to strike from stealth and kill their opponent witha single blow. they are also trained in a variety of martial arts and are INCREDIBLY quick (if you don't believe me look up the 18 skills of ninjutsu). bottom line a combinaton of martial arts, stealth and good weapons will spell victory for the Ninja and silent death for the Apache.

WINNER: NINJA
