User blog comment:The Deadliest Warrior/Norman Bates vs. Jack Torrance/@comment-2016768-20110324011259

Since I'm so stoked for this battle I will vote.

My vote goes to Norman Bates. Pacheco's point is valid. Torrance couldn't kill his own little son for crying out loud! Bates killed a detective while he was wearing a dress! Bates has the psychological advantage and the possibility to end the fight before it begins, and his weapons are sharper and easier to kill with in my mind. Even the Needles are wicked little things like the Emei Piercers. Don't underestimate Bates.
