Drayco90's Edgy Edges of AMURICA!


 * Melee- Duke Nukem. The Mighty Boot is a superhuman weapon of death that has decent range for a melee weapon and can easily shatter bones, disarm weaponry and it has an added surprise factor. Rambo's never seen a man who can decapitate with their kicks like it was nothing before. The knife may be a good melee weapon, but it's nothing the Duke's never seen before and while it might have cutting and stabbing power, it doesn't deal near as much damage to Duke as the Boot will to Rambo, and wielding it makes Rambo open to a Mighty Boot attack that could easily cripple him for the rest of the match. In a battle with the Duke, going melee is high risk, low reward. Rambo will find nothing but pain here.


 * Close Range- Duke Nukem. The Shotgun is a devestating weapon that has a lot more punch, a lot more damage and a lot more death per shot. The M1911 is more versatile and has better range, but it's not going to compare to a devestating weapon so powerful that people will ragequit because they didn't spawn close enough to one. Also, the Duke Nukem Shotgun is not the traditional video game shotgun with less range than the reach of your arm- it can still nail an enemy from across the room, even if it's not quite as effective, so it's not helpless at longer ranges.


 * Mid-Range- Duke Nukem. At first I though a pistol vs. a shotgun was pretty off, but a decent reliable SMG compared to a three barreled, surprisingly accurate chaingun of death? The Ripper isn't as inaccurate as one might believe, and has MUCH more firepower, damage, more ammo and longer range. This isn't even a close competition.


 * Long Range- Even. The Laser is a deadly weapon that will deal MUCH more damage if the Duke can hit Rambo with it, and the Laser is also incredibly accurate- it's just that Rambo's bow has a lot of really good things going for it. It's easy to use, quick to fire, ammo can be recovered or made/improvised by someone as crafty as Rambo and is slightly more accurate with the warrior's overall marksmanship in mind. The thing keeping this from being Rambo's edge, in my opinion, is that the Arrows won't be dealing a whole lot of damage to Duke Nukem, we're talking about a man who eats lasers and bullets for breakfeast every morning after all. The arrows will eventually cripple and take down Nukem, but it'll be a long, uphill struggle for Rambo to deal with him this way, and I don't see him dealing the damage necessary to negate the laser weapon in the fight.


 * Explosive- Rambo. Frags are easier to use and are harder to avoid. The Pipebombs are deadly, but they aren't exactly subtle, and I'm sure Rambo will be able to avoid them easily enough. Rambo's frags however, will be much more dangerous to Duke- plus someone as crafty as Rambo could turn them into a terror with the right traps and some time.


 * Special- Duke. The Devestator is like an RPG on steroids. It will do more damage and do it faster while overwhelming Rambo and obliterating everything around them. The RPG won't be anywwhere near as effective.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Duke Nukem. He's stronger, he's got MUCH more advanced weapons and he's more experienced. His hard hitting arsenal made of sci-fi weaponry will overpower the traditional weapons of John Rambo with ease.
