User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Collab with Wass: Joestar Group (JoJo's Bizare Adventure) vs. Dead Men (Skulduggery Pleasant)/@comment-422690-20160416211431

I don't have much knowledge of Skulduggery Pleasant or the third arc of JoJo, so I apologize if I get things wrong.

So...

Leader:

Overall, I think Skulduggery takes this. Joseph is a powerful combatant, yes. However, Skullduggery is simply more versatile. Hamon is too focused on rhythmic breathing to be of much use against someone who can control air, and on top of that Skullduggerys can use magic, which will harm Joseph's Stand. The link between the Stand and its user is a fatal flaw here, especially since Skullduggery can use his abilities without drawback. While Joseph's trolling might give him an emotional edge, Skullduggery's very skilled in reading facial expressions and can likely use this to figure out what or if Joseph is planning something.

On top of this, he has been leading his team for centuries, getting them out of dangerous situations time and again. Joseph has only been leading his group for a short while, meaning that Skulduggery's got the edge in keeping his team focused and together.

Second-In-Command:

Ghastly Bespoke takes this, too. Avdol's Stand relies too much on a manipulation of flame - that's not going to work very well against someone who can create a vacuum to deprive said fire of oxygen. That leaves physical skill and combat experience, both of which Ghastly has en edge in. Furthermore, Ghastly can use magic to harm Avdol's Stand, harming Avdol himself. Again, this link is a fatal weakness against mages.
