User blog comment:Snigel/Surgeon Smackdown - Dr. Steinman vs The Medic/@comment-5795750-20150913123231

BG1's "Oops. That was not medicine" Edges:

Melee: A tiny knife vs a large saw? Well isn't it obvious which one gets the edge?

EDGE: Medic

Ranged: I've tried using the Syringe Gun in-game and perky as it may sound, the Syringe Gun isn't actually that lethal. Steinman here is carrying an actual gun that with a deadly load of bullets that deal a greater degree of damage.

EDGE: Steinman

Special: Bombs vs crossbow? Well at first it seems like the crossbow gets the edge here owing to the fact that you can fire it from further away than Steinman can launch the bombs and IIRC the further you can launch it, the greater the damage... but its for that reason that I am sorta shying away from giving the crossbow the edge since the explosive bombs can deal (as I say again) a greater degree of damage where it counts (ever hear of splash damage?)

EDGE: Even (leaning towards Bombs)

X-Factors: Average of 70 for Steinman; Average of 56 for the Medic

EDGE: Steinman

Overall Winner: Even though he is batshit crazy, I have to say that Doctor Steinman wins out here over the RED Medic. The reason? Well it's plain and simple, Steinman carries the deadlier arsenal (bullets and explosions definitely hurt more than syringes) which is also more effective given the battlefield of Rapture which is definitely more close-to-medium quarters than say Hydro or 2Fort. And yes I said the Medic may be carrying the greater melee weapon but again, Steinman carries weapons that use bullets and explosions so what are the chances the Medic will be able to get up close to use it on Steinman?
