Pygmy Hippo's "Metal Gear vs. Marvel Fight 2" Edges

Short Range 1:The M4X Combat Knife is longer and has more versatility than the lighter Combat Knife. Both have serrated blades but only the M4X can inflict blunt trauma as well. Edge:Punisher

Short Range 2:The Ka-Bar Combat Knife is an additional weapon but CQC is not only hand-to-hand combat training but training with most of the weapons in this scenario with an emphasis on speed. That provides a lot more advantages than another knife that's not even as good as the first one. Edge:Boss

Mid Range 1:The Mk 22 Mod 0 Hush Puppy is stealthier and has a faster muzzle velocity but the M1911A1 Handgun has the deadlier rounds and likely longer range. Both have the same capacity but the Colt is going to be better in a firefight for lethal hits across a greater distance. Edge:Punisher

Mid Range 2:The Customized Silenced M1911A1 has the deadlier round and is stealthier but the Beretta M9 Handgun has a faster muzzle velocity, larger magazine, and longer range. The Beretta can keep firing for longer and and still kill from farther away than the M1911A1. Edge:Punisher

Long Range 1:The M4A1 Assault Rifle has the faster muzzle velocity, faster rate of fire, and longer range while the AK47 has the deadlier rounds. Both have the same magazine capacity so the M4A1 takes this category with it's consistent damage output. Edge:Punisher

Long Range 2:The M60 Machine Gun has the deadlier rounds and longer range but the Stoner 63 Machine Gun has the faster muzzle velocity and rate of fire. Both have equal capacity so it comes down to which advantages are better and for a machine gun, overwhelming fire rate with a round that is still deadly is better than being slightly more long range. Edge:Boss

Explosive:The RPG-7 has a deadlier round but the M203 Grenade Launcher has a faster muzzle velocity, longer range, and is already attached to another weapon. This makes it easier to use than the RPG-7 which needs to be pulled out on its own. Edge:Punisher

X-Factors:The Punisher takes Brutality, Marksmanship, and ties in Experience while Big Boss takes Intelligence, Hand to Hand, and Mental Health. Brutality is useless as usual but Marksmanship is more important than Hand to Hand in a fight with as many firearms as this one. However Intelligence and Mental Health can't be downplayed and there's a good chance Boss could catch the Punisher off guard and kill him that way. Edge:Boss

Final Verdict:I have to give this to The Punisher for his largely superior arsenal and the marksmanship to get more kills with it. Big Boss' CQC and hand to hand make a melee fight a losing battle however and the machine gun is a deadly weapon that is only barely outmatched by the assault rifle with grenade launcher combo. Boss is the more tactical man who can come up with a better plan but he's not used to having to deal with civilians as well and that's where the Punisher's better guns and accuracy claim victory.

Winner:The Punisher
