Pygmy Hippo's "Penance for Ruining Jack's Career" Edges

Signature:The Sword-Cane is likely longer and lighter than the Fire Axe along with having a degree of surprise to it. One could argue that the Axe will cause more damage than the Cane or the blade but that doesn't make up for its shortcomings. Edge:Alex

Special:The Overlook Ghosts are definitely going to freak even a delinquent like Alex out and they can seperate the two if Jack starts losing. The Crotch Armor is negligible in this comparison while the Razor is just a worse version of the Sword-Cane and environmental objects will help defeating Torrance. DeLarge's equipment is far mire practical but I won't deny that the Ghosts will have a hugh psychological impact which makes up for that. Edge:Tie

X-Factors:In Physicality, Alex DeLarge gets the edge for being quicker on his feet and arguably stronger without weapons while Jack's more of a tough lunatic. In Experience, Alex DeLarge clearly takes the edge as he regularly fights other people who can put up a fight while Jack killed one guy. Skipping Intelligence and moving to Determination & Brutality, Jack Torrance takes the edge as he won't stop attacking until he dies or Alex does. In Psychological Warfare, Alex DeLarge's twisted humor can't compare to the Overlook Ghosts. Edge:Tie

Final Verdict:I'm sorry but Jack Torrance is literally turning into the horror version of Sun Tzu for me. Yes, two of the edges were even but while his Ghost pals can help him out a little bit, Alex DeLarge's better weapons and fighting style along with a better physical condition and actual experience means that once the shock wears off, Jack's going to have a bad time. Torrance could potentially kill DeLarge if he catches him by surprise but I doubt the delinquent will let that happen and the caretaker will wind up being beat to death.

Winner:Alex DeLarge
