Laqy's Edges

Iconic: The chainsaw is honestly a terrible weapon. It relies on fuel, is poorly balanced, and is easily damaged. It also makes a hell of a lot of noise, giving Li plenty of opportunities to use those guerrilla tactics he's so good at. Li's axes are meant to be weapons, and he's been using them to carve up soldiers and bandits for years. Edge: Li Kui

Backup: Usually, having a weapon is better than having no weapon at all, but this is a special case. The cleaver isn't meant to be a weapon, and if Leatherface ends up using it, he'll likely be disarmed or get it broken. Li's knowledge of unarmed combat means he's still a threat with or without a weapon. In the end, I think Li being a skilled unarmed combatant will have more of an effect on the battle than Leatherface having a flimsy kitchen tool with him. Edge: Li Kui

Blunt: This is a very similar situation to the first comparison. Having "crude" and "homemade" in your weapon's description is not a positive thing, so the edge here is even clearer. The gun is made to be a weapon, it's longer, and it's not liable to fall apart in battle. Edge: Li Kui

X-Factors and Conclusion: This one's pretty straightforward. Leatherface has never fought a singled skilled opponent in a real fight, putting him at a major disadvantage experience-wise. Li's weapons are actually intended to be used in combat, and the axes alone are better than Leatherface's entire arsenal. Li uses his weapons to carve up bandits and trained soldiers on a daily basis, while Leatherface uses his "weapons" to carve up defenseless teenagers. Any sort of melee confrontation is going to end very badly for Leatherface. Without the superior equipment and skills, the only way I can see him winning is by outsmarting him, and knowing who this guy is, that's not going to happen. Li will disarm and wound his opponent with little effort, leaving him at the mercy of the Iron Ox. Winner: Li Kui!
