Anonymus user's vote.

I know you said that we must either have a lengthy vote listing the edges, or a large paragraph describing all the reasons a warrior can win. However, I will present a vote similar to the edge list vote, but says something about one team, and then whats better or superior about the other. I believe John Marston will defeat Niko Bellic, and here are my reasons:

Sure, Niko has automatic weapons, but thats not that big of an advantage; anyone on John Marstons team can fire nearly as fast or equally as fast by firing his handguns. In Red dead redemption, you can fire a revolver as fast as you can pull the trigger, and that can be pretty similar to firing a machine gun. Niko's pistols, however, have a much smaller rate of fire.

Sure, Niko is using assault rifles, which have long range, but they are not high powered rifles. The leveraction rifles that John's team uses fire very high velocity hollow point are lead point bullets. This allows them to have longer ranges, too. In a scenario where John and his gang be aiming at Niko and his gang, and Nikos gang is moving closer because they are out of range, JOhns gang could all score headshots before Nikos team can even get close enough to shoot them.

Sure, Niko has had army training, and is therefore very skilled, he is the only fighter on his team with this advantage. Meanwhile, everyone on John's team are gunslingers, and therefore all skilled, because they fought, trained or hunted with guns from an early age. Most fighters on Niko's team are street gangsters, and had no method of recieving professional training. Plus, Niko needs to hold a handgun with two hands to get a good aim, whereas John only needs to hold it with one. As you mentioned before, John Jack and Uncle, who are three of the fighters on Johns team, killed a whole army regiment of 50+ soldiers. Fighting six gangsters with less firepower than 50+ soldiers just might be like practice in comparison. Just to top of his extreme skill, John has dead-eye.

Finally, it is true that Niko has been on many successful missions, but he only ever does whatever his boss tells him. That means he isn't used to coming up with his own plans. In Red dead redemption, after Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham dumped John in the New Austin wilderness, he managed to find his own way around and worked out who to recruit and what to do to catch Williamsom. He managed to get both bill and Javier killed by thinking on his own. Besides, it's not like Nikos boss would tell him that there was a gang of gunmen waiting to kill them.

I hope my vote is acceptable. Anyway, that is the reason that John would win.
