Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close Range- Even. Char's claws don't have the range or a wielder as skilled in melee as Optimus' Energon Blades, but they're also more reliable and durable than the Blades. Optimus loses those blades INREDIBLY fast in a fight, quickly leaving himself disarmed, which puts Char at an advantage. Even when he's much faster, Optimus' inability to keep his weapons for very long will give Z'Gok more long-term edge here, though he's devestating enough with his speed that he can still do some serious damage to Char before losing the blades.


 * Mid-Range- Char. Seriously? An axe against a missile launcher? The missiles will tear Prime apart with ease since he's so damn fragile, and his Axe will only be marginally more helpful than the Energon Blades in melee.


 * Long Range- Char. The Z'Gok's Particle Cannon has greater range and does more damage, which can combine with numerous of Z'Gok's other X-Factors and Prime's next-to-no durability tp completely destroy Optimus. The Barrage Cannon is fairly ineffective for the most part, and won't pack nearly enough punch to do any real damage.


 * Special- Char. The ability to fly will allow Z'Gok to spam Optimus with ranged attacks he can't counter, and the Knuckle Duster won't do much notable damage, espicially since he wouldn't likely use it unless he has lost all other melee weapons, in which case- he's already lost the battle.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Z'Gok / Char. The Gundam Suit is stronger and has better ranged weapons, while Prime can barely take a punch without losing pieces- his lack of durability and no ranged abilities will damn him before he can begin to get his badass on.
