User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Rena Ryuguu (Higurashi) vs Norman Bates (Psycho)/@comment-3189283-20120322064605

Lets see shall we

Melee: The nata is longer and is actually desgined to be used as a combat weapons as opposed to the kitchen knife which is desgined to cut up vegatables not sice through flesh and bone. Edge Rena

Secondary Melee: The glass shard has much more killing potentional than the needles which require bates to get up close and personal with his enemies and into the range of Rena's nata. Edge Rena

Special weapon: The car wins this because of it's mobility, power and unexpectedness as a weapon. The bomb will hardley do anything in this battle as it requires bates to be near to the bomb (which is stationary) and if bates doesn't go near it then rena can't use it as a weapon. Edge Norman Bates

X Factors: Rena has an average of 68.86 and Bates has an average of 65.71. Edge Rena

Despite what my edges show this is actually a really really close matchup. While rena has the better melee weapons and is more sane than bates, bates has the power and speed of the car, his higher intelligence and his bigger size and strength (being a full grown man as opposed to a teenage girl). However I don't know if bates would be able to kill a teenage girl even if he snaps unless she attacks first but in which case she will already have an advantage. Still i'm gonna give this one to bates just because of his size and strength which means he will be able to hold Rena off and prevent her from being able to use her vastly supierior melee weapon effectivly. He is also very intimidating even before he starts attacking you and with his mother disguise he could look just like a defeneless old lady and may be able to land the first strike. What really clinches this for him however is the car which is so simple it's brilliant when it comes to running down and killing a person.

Norman Bates: 2,518

Rena Ryuguu: 2,482
