A Battle of Pure Violence: The Crusader (Hatred) vs James Earl Cash
"To me it's the science of violence. You have to understand the chaos of violence in order to fight back against these guys..."

- Geoff Desmoulin, PhD

You're right Geoff, and there is no other form of entertainment that represents the aestheticization of violence more than video games. Highly debated and fought upon, indeed games have created their own culture as well as their own oppositions. Violence in video games is a meritable study, with some scientist theorizing that games do increase a person's aggressiveness. But we must always remember that it's always in the mentality of the person, not the object, of why they would commit such attrocities.

But we're not here to talk about academic bullshit. Y'all know what we came here for; and that's to see two of the most psychopathic video game characters ever fight and take chunks out of each other, in a long and bloody festival of flesh. And I guarantee you, this wiki has never seen violence like this before!

The Crusader: long coat wearing, mass murdering SOB who singlehandedly killed off a whole city in his sick crusade!

vs

James Earl Cash: the silent stealth predator that sneaked his way to decimate unlucky bastards that stood in his way!

Who is Deadliest!?

Who is DEADLIEST?!

Marco Polo
Marco Polo (1254 – January 8–9, 1324) was a Venetian merchant travellerwhose travels are recorded in Livres des merveilles du monde (Book of the Marvels of the World, also known as The Travels of Marco Polo, c. 1300), a book that introduced Europeans to Central Asia and China. Marco Polo was not the first European to reach China, but he was the first to leave a detailed chronicle of his experience. This book inspired Christopher Columbus and many other travellers. There is a substantial literature based on Polo's writings; he also influenced European cartography, leading to the introduction of the Fra Mauro map.

He learned the mercantile trade from his father and uncle, Niccolò and Maffeo, who travelled through Asia, and met Kublai Khan. In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Marco for the first time. The three of them embarked on an epic journey to Asia, He travelled the silk road, fought bandits and other challenges along the way, before being inducted into the Mongolian court. Before returning 24 years later to find Venice at war with Genoa. Marco led an army during the Venetian–Genoese Wars, before he was captured and imprisoned, to which he dictated his story to a fellow prisoner. He was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married, and had three children. He died in 1324 and was buried in the church of San Lorenzo in Venice.

Weapons and Abilities
Short= Knightly Sword The knightly sword is the most common and widespread sword during the High Middle Ages. It is a straight, double-edged weapon with a single-handed cruciform hilt and a blade length of about 70 to 80 centimetres (28 to 31 in). It was popular for knight and men-at-arms in many European Wars of its days, and Marco Polo may have used one during his brief tenure in the Venetian-Genoese wars. In many drawings and depictions of Marco Polo after his death, he is always depicted wearing his colorful Eastern costumes. One of the ornaments that stood with Marco polo in many illustrations is his prized decorated Mongol saber. The Turko-Mongol saber had a long, curved blade with a single cutting edge, and has a blade length of 48.5 inches. Besides his sword, Marco Polo is also depicted carrying a traditional Mongol composite bows. A very deadly weapon that help created the Mongolian Empire, Marco Polo would have no doubt been trained to use one during decades as member of the Mongolian court. The Mongol bow is a recurved composite bow consisting of a wooden core, with horn on the belly (facing the archer) and sinew on the back (away from the archer), all held together with animal glue. It had a maximum range of 500 meters, and contrary to popular belief, also worked well on foot.

Leif Erikson
Leif Erikson (970 – c. 1020) was an Icelandic explorer considered by some as the first European to land in North America (excluding Greenland), before Christopher Columbus. According to the Sagas of Icelanders, he established a Norse settlement at Vinland, tentatively identified with the Norse L'Anse aux Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland in modern-day Canada.

Erikson was described as wise, considerate, and strong man of striking appearance. Leif was the son of Erik the Red, the founder of the first Norse settlement in Greenland and a ruthless chieftain known for his bloody conquest of Green. He was likely born in Iceland, and grew up in the family estate Brattahlíð in the Eastern Settlement in Greenland. Leif had two known sons: Thorgils, born to noblewoman Thorgunna in the Hebrides; and Thorkell, who succeeded him as chieftain of the Greenland settlement.

Weapons and Abilities
Short= Viking Sword The Viking long Sword had a straight blade with two cutting edges and a one-handed hilt with a lobed pommel. The blade had deep fullers running the length of the blade to lighten it. The weapon was about to and a half to three feet long, although later swords were longer. It also has a larnyard to prevent the sword from being disarmed. In many depictions of Leif Erikson in contemporary times, such as his sculptures and the US commemorative stamp, has him carrying an axe by his side. The Dane axe is an early type of battle axe, primarily used during the transition between the European Viking Age and early Middle Ages. Viking battle axes had a wrought iron head and a high carbon steel edge and a wooden pole, making them cheap and, unlike a sword, could be made by a village blacksmith with no special skills. Viking bows were used primarily for hunting but were also used in battles. In mass battles, archers opened fire before the opposing sides closed to fight at close range. Bows were made from the wood of a yew, ash, or elm. Typically, they were 1.6 to 2m (60 to 80 in) long. A complete bow found at Hedeby was made of yew and was 192cm long. But what makes the Viking bow so unique is not its size or its power, but its speed. Vikings were know to chuck away barrage of arrows after arrows in just seconds. In one saga, enemies of the Viking reported that the hail of arrows the vikings released felt like "sleet, hail, and rain."

Vasil Levski
Vasil Levski was born Vasil Ivanov Kunchev(18 July 1837 – 18 February 1873), was a Bulgarian revolutionary and is a national hero of Bulgaria. Dubbed the Apostle of Freedom, Levski ideologised and strategised a revolutionary movement to liberate Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. Founding the Internal Revolutionary Organisation, Levski sought to foment a nationwide uprising through a network of secret regional committees.

Born in the Sub-Balkan town of Karlovo to middle class parents, Levski became an Orthodox monk before emigrating to join the two Bulgarian Legions in Serbia and other Bulgarian revolutionary groups. Abroad, he acquired the nickname Levski, "Lionlike". After working as a teacher in Bulgarian lands, he propagated his views and developed the concept of his Bulgaria-based revolutionary organisation, an innovative idea that superseded the foreign-based detachment strategy of the past. In Romania, Levski helped institute the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee, composed of Bulgarian expatriates. During his tours of Bulgaria, Levski established a wide network of insurrectionary committees. Ottoman authorities, however, captured him at an inn near Lovech and executed him by hanging in Sofia.

Levski looked beyond the act of liberation: he envisioned a "pure and sacred"Bulgarian republic of ethnic and religious equality. His concepts have been described as a struggle for human rights, inspired by the progressive liberalism of the French Revolution and 19th century Western European society. Levski is commemorated with monuments in Bulgaria and Serbia, and numerous national institutions bear his name. In 2007, he topped a nationwide television poll as the all-time greatest Bulgarian.

Davy Crockett
David "Davy" Crockett (August 17, 1786 – March 6, 1836) was a 19th-century American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier, and politician. He is commonly referred to in popular culture by the epithet "King of the Wild Frontier". He represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives and served in the Texas Revolution.

Crockett grew up in East Tennessee, where he gained a reputation for hunting and storytelling. After being made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County, Tennessee, he was elected to the Tennessee state legislature in 1821. During the Creek War (which was part of the War of 1812), Crockett left his family and enlisted as a scout with Francis Jones's Company of Mounted Rifleman, part of the Second Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen. They served under Colonel John Coffee in the war, marching south into present-day Alabama and taking an active part in the fighting. Crockett often hunted wild game for the soldiers, and felt better suited to that role than the killing of Creek warriors and families.

In 1825, Crockett was elected to the U.S. Congress, where he vehemently opposed many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson, most notably the Indian Removal Act. Crockett's opposition to Jackson's policies led to his defeat in the 1831 elections. He won again in 1833, then narrowly lost in 1835, prompting his angry departure to Texas (then the Mexican state of Tejas) shortly thereafter. In early 1836, Crockett took part in the Texas Revolution and was killed at the Battle of the Alamo in March.

Crockett became famous in his own lifetime for larger-than-life exploits popularized by stage plays and almanacs. After his death, he continued to be credited with acts of mythical proportion. These led in the 20th century to television and movie portrayals, and he became one of the best-known American folk heroes.

X-Factors
Physicality

Davy Crockett was a pure frontiersmen. As a scout he can trudge the whole frontier on foot and on horseback with ease. He was also a man with an impressive feat of strength, having hunted wild game, wrestled bears, and even killed said bears by sneaking into their caves.Vasil on the other hand.Levski was no pushover either,he travelled whole Bulgaria,Serbia and Wallachia,he slept in mountains,forests,bushes and abounded houses.He also fought deadly animals like wolves,lynxes and bears.

Experience

Davy Crockett may have been famous for dying in his only battle in Texas Revolution; the Battle of Alamo. But he was already an experienced soldier, scout and officer before that battle. He fought during the Creek War and the War of 1812. He fought in battles such as Talladega, Forth Strotter, and during the infamous Florida Expedition where many Creeks were massacred and killed.For Vasil it is known that he killed a lot of Ottomans but they were mostly skirmishes,but he has a notable victory against the Ottomans in Belgrade between 3-5 June 1862.After all,he might be a good at startegy but he was mostly skirmisher

Strategy

Both were great leaders of men. Davy Crockett was a prominent figure in keeping the Texans' hope alive during the Battle of Alamo. But he was also a gifted tactician before the Revolution. He led soldiers during the Creek Wars in many battles as well as in conducting group or solo reconaiscance missions to enemy territory.Like any other Bulgarian,Levski is creative and smart managed to hide silently and shot the Turks before they even know whats happening,also his victory near Belgrade,gived the Bulgarians more hope for independence and he managed to push the Ottomans to their knees.
