TheWetWaffle's "Swords and Shadows" Edges

Swords: The Kodachi is a pretty nice sword when in the hands of Ra's. Coupled with his Gauntlets and hand to hand skills, the sword should hurt Slade with a few injuries. But at the same time though, Slade's sword seems sharper and with his hand to hands skills, they should help him in the end. Personally, I think Ra's gets the edge. He has both an offensive weapons (his Kodachi) and a defensive weapon (his Gauntlets), which is way better than Slade's single sword.

Edge: Ra's al Ghul

Pistols: I'll have to call this even. Dual wielding can decrease accuracy and make it harder to hit the target. The M1911A1 have the stronger caliber, Slade can fire both and hit Ra's with two bullets at the same time, and Sleade seems to use firearms more than Ra's. The M9 though has more ammo, aiming one gun means better accuracy, and the 9mm bullets it's using have a higher muzzle velocity. However, Ra's prefers to use his sword over guns but seems to have some sort of experience with them, as he carries one around in a flashback during the Dark Knight Rises.

Edge: Even

X Factors: Slade slits his way to an average of 77.8 while Ra's grabs an average 82.2. Ra's is better trained, more sane, and more experienced while Slade is more physically fit and more skilled in Hand to Hand combat.

Edge: Ra's al Ghul

Overall: While Ra's is certainly a deadly foe with amazing training from his time in the LoS, he's facing a younger and more fit foe. Slade is skilled with his sword and firearms enough to where it compensates for his X Factors. Add in his enhancements and Slade should win this.

Overall: Slade Wilson

SLADE SLITS RA'S' THROAT
