Elgb's "Heh, Gundam Wing is still BEST MECH ANIME EVAH!!!" EDGES!!

Sidearm: I respect the luger for being one of the first known semi-autos ever, but its an antique for me. Gai may be talented in using it to put down some mechs, but it doesn't mean a glock can't do the same here. The Glock has more rounds and even though the Luger has the bigger muzzle velocity the glock still has the faster rate of fire. The luger's reload system is also clumsy and difficult to use. EDGE: Rayet

Rifle: The Ar-18's 5.56 offers the faster rate of fire, faster muzzle velocity and lower recoil. The only advantage the Ak has is its reliability and bigger round. But since it's going to be in an urban setting, it won't really matter. EDGE: Rayet

Launcher: Although in explosive and anti-personnel capability the rocket launchers beat grenade launchers everytime, today I'm making an exception. WanderingSkull is right the Milkor's rate of fire allows it to spam and rain projectiles while Gai reloads. In terms of accuracy, still I give it to the Milkor because of the sights that are attached to it. EDGE: Rayet

Armored Support:

Driver: Physically Ayase seems to be superior. With her void and all, she's not only faster, but she can also hover. But that's the only reach her abilities and won't do much in a mech battle. Kaizuka-kun is smarter and more adept in thinking and executing strategy while Ayase has only been present in only a few battle planning (Like the part where they attacked the GHQ). Kaizuka-san is a prodigy who can outhink and outstrategize his enemy, while Ayase is too busy worrying and blushing about. EDGE: Rayet

Mechs: Kaizuka's Sleipnir has more weapons in his disposal than the endlave. Though the endlave may be faster and more agile, the Sleipnir is more bulky. In terms of close quarters this bulk may even up the odds against the Endlave's speed (knowing both melee weapons are the same). In terms of autocannons, Ayase gets the edge because, if i've read it correcltly, the ammo is proppelled by blue "muzzle flashes" that may indicate the use of electricity, magnetism or another form of energy propellant (just an assumption). Kaizuka however, gets the edge with his highy superior missile launcher that trumps any weapons in this battle. Its ability as a surface-to-surface targetting missle allows it to home in accurately in Kaizuka's sights, and spam explosions which not only are lethal, but also deadly accurate. Overall in the end, I give the edge to Kaizuka. The endlave's agility and cannon may hit some turnovers in the fight, but in the long run the Sleipnir's arsenal and bulk, coupled with Kaizuka's intellect will give it the win. EDGE: Rayet

Deadliest Warrior: Rayet Areash

After looking at their bios and channeling whatever otaku memories I still have left, I end up siding with Rayet on this one. Although it seems Gai has more experience in battle, Rayet on the other hand looks like she's more skilled in a fight, and her last stand against the martians only proves that Rayet is more accustomed in single combat by herself than Gai (whose greatest feats involves the dependance of pawns). Although Gai is no slouch here, his deviousness and the way he tricked most of the characters (stupid plot devicing) is noteworthy, still there won't be no pawns here that he can use (Ayase herself won't be that useful). Gai is just less skilled with firearms and carries the inferior weaponry and mechs. Then there's also Inaho Kaizuka whom I believe has the higher IQ than Gai in this battle, so there's that.
