Kriller99’s “Assassin Hunt” edges:

Close range: James Earl Cash. I know that a lot of people like the hidden knife, but in complete honesty, it’s more of a covert weapon meant for discreet killings rather than a practical fighting knife. The issue I suspect could be a problem is that if it doesn’t kill Cash right away, then Cash could counterattack and the hunting knife would be able to slash and stab faster due to not being attached to the wielder’s wrist.

Mid Range: Even (slight edge towards tomahawks). This is a particularly odd matchup because they’re such polar opposites. The tomahawks are lighter, you have two of them, they can be thrown, and they’re considerably quieter to attack with. On the other hand, the chainsaw is an absolute BEAST, and Cash would have a huge psychological edge due to the noice and because Connor hasn’t encountered anything like the chainsaw before. It ultimately depends on the scenario, but I would personally pick the tomahawks because they seem more practical due to weighing less, and you could kill Cash by throwing one at his head while he was charging at you.

Long Range: I haven’t played Manhunt, so I have no idea what the range is like with the nail gun, but I’m gonna guess not as much as Connor’s bow. Edge, Connor

Special: Cash. The multiple pellets and the faster reload time are the deciding factors here.

Armor: Painkillers will only prolong the fight, and won’t actually prevent any injuries. Edge goes to Connor

X-factors:

For stealth I give it to Connor. His eagle vision will be able to counter anything Cash has. Experience is a toughie, but I ultimately gotta give the edge to Cash because he’s fighting the more modern enemy. Lastly, physicality easily goes to Connor, as Cash seems like he’s around peak human, and Connor appears to be somewhat superhuman in abilities (not overly so, but he’s definitely tougher than Cash).

Winner: Connor Kenway. While James has great weaponry and comes from a modern time period, Connor has better physique,the better ranged weapons, and is better at stealth. Also, Connor will easily be able to spot Cash in the fight, nullifying one of his biggest tactics
