BeastMan14's "Call it, friendo" Edges





Ranged Weapons: Anton Chigurh. Anton's Remington wins on numerous fronts here, the most important of which are stealth and stopping power. Thanks to the silencer, Anton can easily take out both Sirko's guards before they realize what's going on, sacrificing any real prep time Sirko could get, and superior stopping power means Anton will need to land less hits to bring down his foe than Isaak will, which will already be hard to do thanks to Anton's already high pain resistance. Plus, shotguns as a whole tend to be superior to pistols.

Melee Weapons: Isaak Sirko. While Anton's Bolt Pistol is a deadly weapon, and I've actually defended it's usefulness the past, (see Anton vs Salamanca Twins) I just don't see Anton being able to use it quick enough to take down Sirko, who has shown himself to be a skilled melee fighter in the past. More importantly, the bar fight scene shows that he's a skilled improviser, while Anton vastly prefers to rely on actual weapons in combat, meaning Sirko can land a few nasty surprise hits if the fight gets up close.

X-Factors: Anton Chigurh. Anton has an average of 75.25, while Isaak has an average of 73.75. Anton takes the really important X-Factors here like Experience and Physicality, meaning he'll be able to use his experience in being outnumbered to tear through Isaak's men with stealthy precision, and he'll use his Terminator-esque pain resistance to shrug off Isaak's Makarov rounds and take him down.

Deadliest Warrior: Voldemort. Just kidding, Anton Chigurh. This was a close one, in fact, significantly closer than I thought it would be. But ultimately, Anton takes this one, thanks to his superior weapon, and largely superior X-Factors. While Isaak is certainly smarter, backed up by some of his men, and a superior hand-to-hand fighter, Anton's Remington will enable him to eliminate Sirko's backup stealthily, thus ruining any potential prep time he couod have. Even with knowledge that Anton is coming for him, I just don't think Sirko is ready for the superior warrior. Score: 515-485
