'Kazanshin's: SEKAI ICHI! vote'

So, since this is different front he classical "close, mid, long and special" format, I'll straight up go and compare the two in terms of abilities and physical stats:

First, Stroheim has a range advantage, which is obvious. The guy is made of guns. However, the Cleaver has a melee weapon. So this will indeed be a close vs long range battle.

Next, strength. I'm not sure what kind of "heavy objects" the Cleaver can lift, but Stroheim is kind of inexact. We know he's as strong or stronger than Santana, but how strong is that? To find that out, I went through my memory about vampires and pillar men to determine how strong Santana (and Stroheim) would be. First off, Pillar Men are the highest ranking species in Jojo when going by physical stats, which makes them superior to zombies and vampires. However, since Santana was the weakest of the Aztec gods of flex. So instead, I scaled him to vampires and zombies, and holy Amaterasu did I find feats. First off, the very first vampire we see in the series was capable to send Dio, a 190cm tall man, go torpedo through a wall, which shattered into pieces. Tarkus, a mere zombie, smashed a large stone column. Then, there is Wang Chen, another zombie, who was strong enough to stop a ship's turbine. Finally, skipping to part 3, Dio lifts a steamroller to smash Jotaro with it (although it's difficult to judge if this is an actual feat of Dio or if it was Za Warudo). Stroheim was able to mow down waves of vampires who would all at least be comparable to the first vampire, and being as strong as Santana, should also be stronger than Tarkus.

Next, for speed, the Cleaver may be as fast as an Olympic athlete, but Stroheim, yet again scaling to Santana scaling to Dio this time, would be "as fast as a cheetah". We know this is true since Speedwagon said it, and nobody doubts Speedweed.

Finally, durability, which will be the main advantage of the Cleaver thanks to his regeneration. While Stroheim Is very tough to kill, he can't regenerate.

So, who wins in the end? I put my money of Rudol von Stroheim. If decapitation is what's needed to kill the Cleaver, Stroheim Can go one step further and obliterate his face like what happened to the cops killed by Dio. The scythe will be a deadly asset in melee, but Stroheim was able to block a strike from Kars' arm blade before it went buzzsaw mode, so I'd safely say he could do the same, at least for a while. Added to his immense strength, Stroheim can probs hold his own in melee just fine. Him also being faster, as far as I understand, he could keep his distance and spam him with machine guns. In the end, Santana data just makes it easier for Stroheim to be SEKAI ICHI!
