Drayco90's Edgy Edges of AMERICA!


 * Close Range- Skywalker. The Lightsaber has a lot of edges on the Omniblade, being more precise, a more permenant weapon (As the Omniblade dissapates after a few seconds) and with a more effective cutting edge. Still, the Omniblade is hardly outclassed in every way- the surprise factor of it can easily turn the tide of a fight, and it burns with greater heat than a Lightsaber does, which while not nearly as effective as a Lightsaber, are both still traits that will allow Shepard to use the weapon to devestating effect, making this edge a very close one.?


 * Mid-Range- Shepard. The Predator is a quicker firing weapon that puts much more effective rounds in to Luke, while the kinetic barriers in Shepard's armor will stop the slower blaster fire. The Predator's range is also seemingly longer than the heavy blaster, and Shepard is much more effective and trained in the use of firearms. Experience, deadly ammo, protection and range add up to equal a hell of a lot more than ammo number and raw power.?


 * Long Range- Shepard. Luke's rifle will be clumsy in his hands, and he won't even really want to use it. The Avenger is quick, it's reliable and it's devestating, allowing Shepard to tear Skywalker apart with ease at range, for the same reasons as before Kinetic Barriers weakening Luke's weaponry plus Shepards far superior training and experience lock this edge for the Commander.?


 * Powers- Shepard. Biotics are basically military produced force powers, and as a result are far more dangerous and effective in combat than light side users of the Force with their natural talents. Luke may be skilled in the Force beyond most anyone in his own universe, but he is still a natural born peaceful individual who never uses his powers to their full martial extent. Shepard's Biotic Powers kill with ease, rip apart the environment, make him more mobile, increase his power and he can do all of this with quickness and comboing his powers together. Shepard will use his more deadly powers to kill long before Luke will start using his more powerful powers to slow down, and that's what really gives Shepard the edge. If Luke were a powerful Sith, this wouldn't be a contest, but a Light Side force user is more than likely not up to par with the military Biotics.?


 * Armor- Shepard. Luke isn't wearing any armor to speak of, while Shepard's armor will make laser weaponry at a range near impossible, and if Luke trys to get up close without dropping the sheilds, while the Lightsaber is working through both shields and armor, Shepard has an easy one-shot kill with the Omniblade. Shepard's armor is a fantastic asset in any scenario, but against an opponent without armor, it /really/ tips the scales in his favor in a lot of potential match-ups.?


 * Deadliest Warrior- Commander Shepard. Shepard has better weapons, better training, better tactics, more willingness to take a life, better range, better accuracy, better powers and while Luke Skywalker may be one of the most potentially powerful beings in the Star Wars universe, he is so rare to tap into the full extent of his powers that his personality is a hinderance to him.
