User blog comment:So-Pro Warrior/Mass Effect Tournament Round 1 Battle 4: Garrus Vakarian vs. Sev/@comment-4555900-20120529003156

Melee- Garrus. The Omni-blade has longer reach, and is just as deadly as the Knuckle Vibroblade.

Close Range- Sev. The DC-15 fires faster, is more accurate, and never runs out of ammo, and as Sev said, that counts for something in a firefight. The Paladin is stronger yes, but it would still take many shots for it to take down Sev's shields, and the same with the DC-15 too.

Long Range- Garrus. The Vindicator is accurate, and has decent power behind it. In the hands of someone like Garrus, this is an extremely good weapon, and will easily take down the DC-17.

Extra Long Range- Garrus. The Mantis sniper rifle is extremely powerful, and in Garrus' hands, is likely to hit the target. While it won't result in a one shot kill, it will be enough to take down shields, and possibly even still cause some damage after that. The DC-17 sniper rifle is much weaker and will more than likely need to be reloaded by the time Garrus's shields are down, and it will take more shots than the Mantis to kill after shields are down.

Special- Even. I tend to stray away from judging explosive weapons. And I know of no real major difference between the two weapons.

Grenade- Garrus. The Mk. 14 grenade only wins because it has more uses than the Thermal Detonator. The Thermal Detonator is also highly unstable, and can blow up at the wrong time.

X-Factors- Sev. He has more training, and is only slightly less than Garrus in experience, they are equal in armor metallurgy and sniper skills, so the only thing Garrus edges him out in is Hand-to-Hand combat, and only slightly at that. Plus, it is unlikely that it will come down to that, considering both of the character's backgrounds, they will want to stay at a distance, and will more likely want to resort to pistols than their melee weapons.
