Tybaltcapulet's "JoJo's Castlevania Adventure Edges:

Equipment: Both of these loadouts are designed for entirely different purposes. Richter's loadout is designed to specifically be used against the undead, fitting a more practical role. Joseph's loadout on the other hand is designed for shock and awe and asspulling, extremely befitting of his character.And in the end, I think the shock and awe of Joseph will be more useful than Richter's pretty straightforward kit. His entire loadout is madr up of throwing weapon except for the Vampire Killer. Joseph can easily avoid all of this and hit back much harder.Richter has never even seen a grenade or any type of gun, let alone a fucking Tommy. I honestly doubt Richter is fast enough to block bullets with the Vampire Killer. Richter has never dealt with such an advanced loadout before, while Joseph can undoubtedly deal with such a simple loadout from Richter. Edge:Joseph Joestar

Powers/Abilities: I could go through the multitude of powers these two have, and that would be all well and good, but it really comes down to one thing. Can Richter's Item Crashes compete with Joseph's asspulls. Because at the end of the day, Joseph is so good with his powers because he is such a quick thinker. And honestly, no I don't think Richter has enough overwhelming power to counter the power of Joseph fucking Joestar's powers and mind. This is the guy who defeated three OP AF Pillar Men, who had ridiculous powers, physicality, and intelligence, with mostly his mind.

I fail to see how Item Crashes, and Superhuman Physicality can defeat him. He is literally an inferior version of the Pillar Men, with much more predictable powers and weapons. Joseph can outthink, and outmanuver anything Richter throws at him no problem.

Overall/X-factors: Let's be honest, you knew I was going to vote for Joseph Joestar from the beginning, not because his equipment or powers are superior, but because it's Joseph fucking Joestar. He is the king of fighting circles around technically stronger foes and taking them down with pure mental prowess, and Richter is no different here.

Richter has zero counters to Joseph, and a pretty simple loadout and ability set to boot.It shouldn't be hard for him to adapt to Richter's straightforward attacks, which are only useful because they can body the undead.Now Joseph's Hamon attacks are only really deadly against the undead too, but Joseph is smart and strategic enough to not base his entire fighting style on it, instead frequently using it simply for his famous asspull.

Now for the warriors themselves, Joseph once again comes out on top. Besides the fact that Joseph is an absolute thinking beast, Richter isn't exactly the most calm individual, and is prone to just bum rushing his opponent. Now Richter normally could just overpower an opponent fast enough for it to be a non-issue, but we've already established that won't be nearly as easy with someone like Joseph fighting you.

And yes Richter has the far superior training and is much more experienced, but Joseph has fought opponents that fit this description perfectly(for the third time, the Pillar Men) and has always come out on top. Richter doesn't have anything to counter Joseph, and will be fought in circles until his inevitable defeat.

Joseph Joestar:3500

Richter Belmont:1500
