BeastMan14's "FIRST!" Edges

Melee: While Capelli's weapons have better range (the serrated sword isn't incredibly large), the more powerful of the two requires Cappeli to throw all his effort behind it, leaving him totally screwed if he misses, while his more reliable one requires he will be incredibly lucky to get close and do any damage. RAAM's brute strength alone means getting close is a bad idea, while his sword will impale Capelli once he throws himself into a risky position. Edge: RAAM

Sidearm: Sure, they're both revolvers, but the Boltok has abysmally small range and ammo per clip (one shot, if I remember correctly from Gears). Capelli may have not incredibly good range, but his weapon is far more accurate, with more ammo per clip and equal power. Edge: Capelli

Primary: The Troika is incredibly powerful, and Capelli will be screwed if so much as a few shots connect. Capelli's less powerful weapon is also by far the more accurate one due to its ability to home in on the target if its tracker round connects, alongside not slowing its user down considerably, regardless of RAAM!'s strength, it will slow him down. Edge: Capelli

Shield Weapon: While Capelli's should is backed up by a powerful weapon in the form of the Wraith, RAAM can control his shield, guiding it straight past Capelli's sheild and tearing him apart. However, if Capelli stays active and in motion, the Kryll won't be able to catch up, allowing them to slowly die in the sunlight. Ultimately, this is one that will work either way. Edge: Even

Grenade: This is one of the closer edges, mainly due to the similar way of working when it comes to the weapons. The Kryll grenade is devastating against infantry, and Capelli won't last the moment he ends up too close to it. The same could work for RAAM, but he's far more durable, meaning he could shrug off the initial burst of fire if he isn't too close and outlast it long enough for it to wear down. Edge: RAAM

Deadliest Warrior: Capelli. RAAM is gonna be one of the, if not the most, difficult foes he's ever faced, but he's wielding the far more advanced weaponry, greater agility, and most importantly, experience facing a more advanced foe. RAAM went into war against an unadvanced, totally exhausted (they had just defeated the UIR a year or so prior) foe who had pretty much lost the moment the Locust rumbled out of the ground, while Capelli fought against a far more advanced, overwhelming, ruthless, suicidally devoted to their cause enemy that nearly destroyed him, but he ultimately overcame them and succeeded in his cause. RAAM and his horde isn't nearly as deadly as the Chimera, and Capelli will use his skill to pull a narrow win here. Score: 320-280
