'El Alamein's "Is it a Chicken or is it a Duck?" Edges: '

 Close Range: Diamond Sword vs. Rune Scimitar: The Diamond Sword is the most powerful material you can use for a weapon on Minecraft, and it very rarely breaks. The Rune Scimitar is also very powerful (Rune being the equivalent to Diamond in Runescape), but it has a disadvantage of being shorter, since the Minecraft sword is modeled after a longsword. The Runescape Wiki actually says that the Scimitar deals out less damage than a longsword, but it does have the advantage of being able to deal slashing weapons which do have an advantage over thrusting weapons. Both of these close-ranged combat weapons have a unique fighting style and it all depends on which warrior can overpower the other.

Edge: Even

 Mid Range: Iron Pickaxe vs. Adamant Two-Handed Sword: Now here we have a comparison of Iron and Adamant, which I would call equivalents of each other because Iron is usually considered the second-strongest material in Minecraft after Diamond (because Gold is crap) and Adamant is second only to Rune. However, a pickaxe isn't your best choice for a combat weapon and it's big and clumsy, and it's heavy. A missed swing is going to require a big recovery time that leaves you open for attack. The Two-Handed Sword has a longer reach, and it can chop downward as well as slash in a horizontal arc, so you can expect more damage to be dealt with the 2h Sword.

Edge: Runescape Guy

 Long Range: Bow and Arrow vs. Willow Longbow and Iron Arrows: Both the arrows fired from these bows aren't very powerful in their respective games - the Iron Arrows are actually called Runescape's second-weakest arrow, while Minecraft's arrows do more damage the longer you hold back the bowstring. Looking at the bows firing the arrows, there's nothing special about either of them. I'm going to give Steve the edge here because he can pull back the bowstring for inceased damage while the Runescape player simply can't.

Edge:Steve

 Special Weapons: TNT vs. Fire Staff: The TNT is a highly situational weapon but it is also highly damaging (much like the Medellin Cartel's car bomb on Deadliest Warrior). What you can do with your imagination is what you can do with TNT - and with a small redstone fuse and a little bit of luck, the resulting blast will likely blow the Runescape guy out of his armor. However, the Fire Staff is able to shoot out fire missile spells, and could probably be used as a melee weapon (although not very effective, it's better than nothing). The TNT is so much more showy and instantly lethal, but the Fire Staff brings greater combat versatility to the battle, because it can be used over and over again. Plus, you're not in danger of killing yourself with it. Still, this is a very slight edge.

Edge: Runescape Guy

 Armor: Diamond Chestplate vs. Rune Chestplate: Diamond armor, is of course, Minecraft's best armor available, and with Steve wearing it on his chest it means he's going to be able to absorb a lot of hits, both physical and magical. The Rune armor is best against slashing, stabbing, and ranged attacks but does have a weakness for crushing weapons, meaning Steve's pickaxe might have some worth against the armor, if he can close the distance. Both of these armors do their job very well but I think the Diamond Armor will hold up to everything the Runescape guy can throw at it until it wears out, but the Rune Chestplate won't be effective against TNT (of course) or the Pickaxe.

Edge: Steve

WINNER: STEVE 

I'm a Minecraft fan, I'll admit, and I know next to nothing about Runescape (thank you Runescape Wiki) but I came into this battle unbiased and left that way. Steve's armor saves him from a crushing defeat. The Runescape guy has magic to back him up with that fire staff, and at close range his scimitar and two-handed sword are going to be a problem for Steve to deal with. However, Steve's still bringing a hard-hitting close-range game and that TNT is going to be something the Runescape guy won't see coming until it's too late. I know how situational the TNT is, but believe me, it'll do its damage. Long range is going to be pointless in this battle as both warriors have crappy bows and superb armor to back them up, but because the Runescape guy's armor has faults against crushing weapons, it simply won't last as long as Steve's Diamond armor, and this is why Steve wins.
