Alright, here's my "good" vote:

Edward Elric has a slight advantage carrying material weapons but it might not matter. The one thing that I don't like about Etrigan is that he's too impatient to cast spells. He's gonna rob himself of a valuable asset that he could carry into combat. Sure, he might use 'em, but what are the odds? Based on what info I have, very slim odds. Edward will use his spells and they're a lot more simple, requiring just a clasp of his hands to perform his deadly magic. His genius IQ is gonna help him adapt to combat and think up his own spur-of-the-moment battle tactics, especially when he discovers Etrigan's weakness - and given his intelligence, I think it likely he'd figure it out. Etrigan is big and blustering, and I can imagine him furiously wasting attack after attack on his nimble and smaller opponent, who can dash in and out with small but devastating attacks that will take their toll over time. Etrigan is a very emotional warrior and I bet you that his failures will stack up and he'll get pissed, frustrated, and confused, which will only make him blunder even more. He's like Ares, the Greek god of war - if you're just a regular person, watch out, but any half-skilled opponent with calm nerves and decent strength and combat capabilities can time their powers and put him down.

Winner: Edward Elric
