Elgb's '"Hell Yeah It's Time For A Horror Battle!" 'EDGES!!!

Melee: This is a tough one for me. The axe is obviously the lighter, more maneuverable and overall practical weapon. Humanity's been developing the axe as a weapon since the stone age, so it's got that tried-and-tested feel to it. The chainsaw is just the heavier, unweildly and overall noisy weapon. The fumes its release will also affect the warriot using it. However, Ash William seems to be able to use his chainsaw without these advantages. Hell, he only uses it while it's strapped to his one hand. Count also the fact that Ash seems to be the better close quarters fighter between the two, being able to cleave through Deadites like they're cardboard. That would give him a big advantage against MacReady who more dependent on his guns than actually fighting up close. Overall, it's tough to choose, but I'm giving both the edges here. EDGE: Even

Primary: I have to give this one to the Ithaca. It's got a 2, or maybe 5-round advantage over the obsolete double-barrel shotgun. EDGE: RJ

Secondary: Easy edge to the Winchester 1895. It's a rifle compared to the puny Colt Trooper which is a revolver. Granted a revolver has the advantage of being able to fire semi-auto, but the Winchester is still packing the bigger punch and the longer range. No contest. EDGE: Ash

(BTW Battlefan... the Winchester 1895 only has 5 rounds, not 15.)

Special: Again, this is a tough one for me. The dynamite can act as a grenade of some sort, and it can also be used while Ash is hiding behind cover. The only problem is, is that the flamethrower was amde to counter cover. It will burn Ash even is he's behind one. The flamethrower is arguable the heavier weapon, and it's very difficult to use behind cover. But what gives MacReady's flamethrower the advantage is that it's the more reliable weapon. It can be used even in the most harshest of desert to even the jungles of South America (in The Thing comics). A homemade peipe bomb has a small chance of not blowing up as its supposed to do. It also doesn't help that a flamethrower will be able to ignite someone carrying a bunch of dynamites, blowing them up. EDGE: RJ

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm gonna give the edge to Ash Williams here. Ash just has the more balanced weapon since he's got both a shotgun for close range and a rfile for long range, so he'll be able to dominate RJ in every range they're at. He's fought through armies of Deadites before and won, giving him a winning edge in experience. Hell, he can even lead an army of Medieval knights against the Deadite himself. MacReady did fought the Thing in the Antartic, the Amazon and some parts in the The Thing EU, but his experience fighting them is few and far between.
