So...

Melee Weaponry: Corvo gets this one quite handily. He simply has displayed more skill with his weapon than Kiritsugu has; Kerry's big melee prowess moment was his fight with Kirei. This was done with the advantage of high-level Time Alter and Avalon backing him up, meaning he's not able to do that normally. Corvo routinely takes on multiple opponents and wins handily, so he's got an advantage there.

Ranged Weaponry: Corvo gets this again. The Conetender is a nice weapon, but it's got the same punch and range as Corvo's pistol. This leaves the ranged weapon edge between the Crossbow and the Origin Bullets. The crossbow is versatile and silent, perfect for a stealthier assassination or just plain lighting Kerry on fire. The Origin Bullets are going to be hard to use here; in order to take effect, the shot must hit while magic is happening. This means that Kiristugu's going to need to hit Corvo while he's aiming Blink or while he's moving, both of which are very short time intervals. If he hits, it'll be devastating, but the ease of use of the crossbow takes the edge.

Teh Majickz: Kiristugu gets this edge. Time Alter simply has more tactical possibilities than Blink does due to its highly versatile nature. Furthermore, while much ado is made in the exposition about the cost of using Time Alter, it never seems to actually affect Kiritsugu's combative strength. Blink is ridiculously useful and synergizes well with Corvo's skillset, but the sheer simplicity of Time Alter's effect makes it more useful.

Overall: Overall, I think Corvo might actually win this one. His skills and magic complement each other well, and his weaponry will likely be more effective than Kiristugu's. The final nail in the coffin is that Kiritsugu's trump card is going to be very difficult to utilize in this match. It may happen in the sim anyway, because awseomeness, but it's not likely to happen in any actual combat.
