User blog comment:Affectos/Hugh de Paynes vs. Oda Nobunaga/@comment-5195329-20120809034717

I was confused by Oda being in two matches.

Close: Both will be able to deal with the other's armor, both have good strength. I think the Epee wins due to the fact that Paynes has a shield. SLIGHT EDGE-PAYNES.

Mid: Yari has a lot more options in battle and is helped by it's more standard design. I don't think the shape will help the fork in this battle. EDGE-NOBUNAGA.

Long: Crossbow has better accuracy but the tanegashima has better pierce and kill ability, I don't see that as giving enough of an edge and so I'll pick the crossbow. The gun should help agaisnt the armored hose though. SLIGHT EDGE-PAYNES.

Special: I dont think either will really stand out, but the horseman's pick will preform better. EDGE-PAYNES.

OVERALL: Winner-umm.. uh.. well the yari and katana will get a lot of the kills, but so will the Epee and the Crosbow. Both have good armor, but the Crusader does have a shield, but the chainmail I actually don't think will be very good. The x-factors and tactis are greatly on Oda's side.

Winner-Oda Nobunaga. The Yari, I think at least, will tip the match to Oda's favor. And the tactic/x-factor advantage will be a big help. So I say Oda pulls out a win 51:49.
