User blog comment:Jackythejack/Metal Gear Musume: Zombina vs. Raiden/@comment-3189283-20190701105753

Let’s see shall we

You couldn’t have a more different approach when it comes to the weaponry choices. Zombina has gone with the heavy duty firearms and her decision to dual wield them means she can put down a lot of fire very rapidly at the cost of a lack of accuracy. This however isn’t that much of a problem considering Raiden will be trying to close to distance to use his melee based arsenal so the chances of her hitting him go up considerably and seeing as how this isn’t the fully cyborg version of Raiden from Revengence he’s not going to be able to just block the bullets.

Raiden as mentioned before is putting all his eggs in one basket by using the High Frequency Blades but then he has good reason to as they will easily slice through Zombina if he can get close enough to use them. terms of straight physicality he also has a big advantage, sure Zombina can soak up a load up a load of damage but she isn’t super strong or super quick which is just more reason why in a close quarters melee battle Raiden is going to come out on top.

The main crux of this fight as you can probably guess is if Raiden can close the distance and get within range of his blades at which point the battle is basically won for him. Zombina will have to constantly be laying down fire to stop him from getting close and her undisciplined and wasteful style means she’s going to run out of bullets sooner rather than later. This is also based on the idea of a straight up fight; Raiden could simply decide to sneak up on Zombina once he sees how much firepower she is packing and assassinate her before she realises, he’s there.

I do wish a battle with this much hype would turn out to be a close run affair but sadly I can’t really see anything but a Raiden win here. Closing the distance shouldn’t be too much of a problem for him with his stealth skills and even without them his cyborg suit gives him the agility to give Zombina a difficult target to aim at and the durability where if he does get hit, he’ll be able to shrug it off. The only thing Zombina really has going in her favour is that she is essentially unkillable but there’s nothing stopping Raiden just chopping her up into pieces so she just can’t fight back.

Raiden: 4,000

Zombina: 1,000
