Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Ruthless Justice"

Close Range Edge: The Punisher

We have no definitive make for Cha Tae-Sik's knife, but it's clear that the Punisher has one that appears to have a larger reach, and was made for professional close quarters combat. It isn't that large of a gap, since people at the Punisher's and Cha's skill level could use a shard of glass with nearly the same efficiancy, but sometimes that little extra reach and ease of handle will nail the Punisher some hits.

Long Range Edge: Cha Tae-Sik

My go-to when comparing pistols is ammo, and the Glock carries a substantial amount more than the M1911. While the stronger round will certainly come in handy, especailly considering the Punisher has a bulletproof jacket, I put the larger ammo pool above that in terms of usefullness. Cha will be able to get out more use of his weapon, while the Punisher will find himself having tor re-load far more often than he should be comfortable in a battle against someone with razor sharp reflexes and speed.

Unarmed Edge: Tie

Alamein's correct in that the Punisher looks more blunt, and even sluggish compared to the near superhuman skill Cha's martial arts. However, I have to say that Frank Castle as much more power behind his punches, and he was able to keep up with superhumans such as Daredevil in his track record. So, while Frank might not be able to land many hits, if he does it will be devastating for Cha, possibly enough to cripple him. That said, I see Frank getting very few hits in, and will take a crap ton of punishment (no pun intended) before he can really do some damage.

X- Factors and Verdict

This is very close, but I'm handing this to Cha Tae-Sik. The Punisher is a tough bastard, and IMO he is stronger and more durable than his opponent by leaps and bounds. However, Cha is just to fast and experianced in CQC and ranged combat for Frank to really capatilize on this. Sure, he can take more bullets than Cha, but that won't help when he's getting an entire clip unloaded at him. Even if Frank closes distance, which I think is his running chance, he still has to deal with the monster Cha is in hand-to-hand, although if he can land a hit it might be all over.
