User blog comment:Leolab/User Siege Tourney, Round 18 of 75: ShaolinTiger86 (Yao) v Redkite (Markus)/@comment-422690-20130701235725

So, I'll lead off with the voting:

Attacker:

Overrun Castle: Not likely. Not only does Yao have no siege weaponry, he's also got no armor. At all.

Force Surrender: Pfft. You're joking, right?

Single Combat: Lose. See below.

Defender:

Annihilate Attacker: Likely. Kite's got trebuchets flinging rocks and Archers forcing them to fight in the shade, and Yao's forces have no armor.

Force Surrender: Likely. He's going to either wipe them out or force Yao to surrender.

Survive: Likely. He's got the arms to hold out.

Single Combat: Win. See below.

Tie:

One dies, but succeeds: Kite's not going anywhere, and the only place Yao's army can go is retreating.

Both die: BAHAHAHAHA no.

Single Combat:

Long Range: Markus has the advantage here. The Flying Guillotine looks cool but is completely impractical and may never have even existed.

Polearm: Even. They're pretty much the same thing.

Main/Offhand: The shortsword and Tower Shield combo is far better than a Hook Sword and a Dao. As I've mentioned in Yao's other fights, you need two Hook Swords to use them effectively and a free hand to use the Dao effectively.

Markus easily wins single combat.

Overall

Attacker: 0

Defender: 4

Tie: 0

Markus Thaowan wins, and holds out.
