ILB's Edges

Close Range: The Ninja takes this one by a landslide. if it came down to these two weapons then I would definetly go with the Tanto. It's longer, more versatile, and can actually block a strike.

Edge: Ninja

Mid Range: This is an interesting comparison. The Ninjato is the shorter weapon, but at the same time it also is more versatile than the sabre. I'm gonna call this one even, because both weapons have very different purposes and it's hard to compare the two

Edge: Even

Long(ish) Range: I'm going to go with the throwing knife. The shuriuken definetley is a great weapon, bu sometimes it will fail to kill the enemy. And the throwing knife, even if it doesn't kill, will leave a fancy 6 inch blade stuck in the opponent. As with the shuriuken, you can just pull it out quickly because it usually doesn't get in that far.

Edge: Assassin

Special Weapons: Ugh. I absoloutley HATE the Kusarigama. If they could remove that lubering ball and chain it would have a fighting chance, but the obvious edge goes to thw warhammer for versatility and killing potential.

Edge: Assassin

Final Thoughts: The Assassins take this one. This is an interesting battle because one is fictional and another was real at one point. But due to the Assassin's slight edge in weaponry and even slighter edge in X-Factors, this is a victory for Ezio and friends.
