God Of Godzilla's "I have an ace in my pocket...well 8 to be exact" Edges

8th-The African. Despite 18 years of knowing Africa, The African doesn't have much to boot, the AK while a legendary weapon isn't an ideal weapon for assassinations due to poor range and slow rpm. The RPG suffers the same problems but even more than an AK, in other words The African can't really do anything in all but medium ranges

7th-Shamrock. While mainly bringing close ranged weapons, he is a better shot than The African but having expert marksmanship can only take you so far when revolvers aren't meant for long ranged combat. Shamrock may be a expert shooter but his focus on close ranged combat is what brings him down.

6th-Pelosi Twins. Despite a bigger variety of fire power compared to Shamrock and The African, the Twins lack actual training from professional and were only trained by Toni who I presume is a mafia member. The Twins lack of training is the reason they won't win but a greater diversity of firepower is the reason they aren't in 8th place.

5th-Lullaby. Though Lullaby brings heavy firepower, expert level of skill and military training but his downfall is mainly a lack of protection from bullets and from the looks of it his mentality. With no ballistic protection and his mentality distracting him he can't compete with the top.

4th-Omni-Key. While Omni-Key brings plenty of gadgets, heavily customized weaponry, skills in engineering and his high tech optic having various visons and target finding makes him a deadly assassin but he possibly only has training as a military engineer not a soldier, the dragon skin vest maybe tough as hell but the plastic suit doesn't sound like a durable piece of armor and he doesn't bring any kind of automatic weaponry. Overall high tech firepower and expert engineering but not as much training as a soldier compared to some assassins.

3rd-Salva Volkov. The.The Russian maybe the most durable of all the assassins with dragon skin body armor and kevlar clothing and for someone his size, Volkov is a very stealthy and quick assassin thanks to his Spetnaz training and noise reducing boots however he prefers taking down people in CQC though he still is proficient with firearms. Very stealthy, strong as an ox and lots of armor but focuses to much in close quarter assassinations and his size could make him large target.

2nd-Patton Trask. It was a very close call but Trask takes second place, his sniper is his most powerful arsenal, the revolver and sub machine gun provides heavy fire power and his falcata styled knife can do some damage but he doesn't bring anything stealth wise in range and despite his kevlar suit, he is still susceptible to the impact of a bullet which can cause internal bleeding and death and is prone to go rouge, Heaviest firepower, years of experience but no defense against blunt force trauma and no method to stealthily take out his targets from a distance.

1st-Valkyrie. Like i said it was very close but there is a reason Valkyrie won, his training as an SAS and years as a assassin gives extensive knowledge take down the target, he is adaptive to all ranges, the cloak is strong enough to even withstand bullets, he can use the environment to get as many advantages as possible over other assassins and superhuman like reactions and speed will allow the ex-SAS assassin to bag and tag the kill,superior training, adaptive to all ranges, experience and superhuman like agility, nothing is stopping him from his target whether it be the target, the target's men or the other assassins.

The Ace of Spades and The Circus-Dead.Presuming half of the soldiers have AKs and the other half have Uzis while The Ace has an AK and an Uzi and they all have basic kevlar vests and some kind of knife then they are all dead, the AKs and Uzis are useless against the top assassins, their vests won't hold much against the very heavy firepower they possess and the Aces insanity to kill his own men doesn't help much either.

My Prediction On Each Assassin, The Ace and Circus Members

The African-Dead, A swarm of Circus Members armed with melee surrounded him and attacked, before being butchered alive, the African fires his RPG onto the ground taking some Circus members with him.

Shamrock-Dead, A Circus marksmen shot him from a distance whilst he was distracted.

Pelosi Twins-Both got split up in the chaos, one is ambushed and killed and the other abandons his now dead brother due to him being chased by a swarm of Circus troops and lives but the trauma of witnessing his brothers death causes him to quit and drowns his sorrows in a bar till he dies of alcohol poisoning.

Lullaby-Unknown but there are rumors of him getting to the Ace first however he was captured and turned insane and left alone in a stranded island.

Omni-Key-Alive with grievous wounds, while getting pinned down an explosion occurs in the compound but Omni-Key survives albeit with his right eye gone,his arms are gone and most of his weapons heavily damaged, later in the future Omni-Key returns with a cybernetic right eye to replace the eye he lost and cybernetic arms with built in gadgets to replace his lost arms.

Salva Volkov- Alive with moderate wounds, He gets swarmed similar to The African but in greater numbers however he escapes thanks to his spetnaz training, his iron will and great size, after escaping  with deep wounds he vows to make himself a better assassin.

Patton Trask-Barely Alive, as he gets closer to the target, he manages to make it but he discovers the Ace decapitated with a bomb on the bloody corpse and takes the full force of the explosion, miraculously he survives but almost dead, after discovering who took the kill, he vows for revenge but his revenge lived short as the assassin who killed the Ace murdered Trask in cold blood.

Valkyrie-Alive with 5 million dollars to spend with, after the Ace rumor of dealing with Lullaby, Valkyrie sneaked into the compound and in a long bloody fight Valkyrie killed the Ace and took his head as a trophy and planted a bomb as a message to other assassins. After receiving his payment, he killed any other assassin who plans to kill him and gets contracted to hunt the Circus down to extinction.

The Circus-Leaderless and steadily losing territory and power, after the death of the Ace and one of the key compounds destroyed, no one could rise up as the new Ace of Spades and are losing power by Valkyrie, with no leader and no hope to stop this unstoppable assassin, they are now delaying the inevitable.

I know this is your blog and all and that i have no influence to change outcomes but i think you can implement some of these ideas into the battle.
