BG1's "Wind Fighters" Edges:

Weapon 1: The Thompson Contender is a one-shot weapon meaning that if Kirigitsu misses, then basically he is screwed unless he places himself under cover where he will be able to reload and fire again. Corvo with his switchblade sword has that element of surprise plus if he is close to Kirigitsu and the latter misses his shot then Corvo can just slash his way to victory

EDGE: Corvo

Weapon 2: The Calico is ultimately the superior firearm here since it has a bigger mag, higher RoF and well... primarily it is more technologically advanced. Sure Corvo's pistol can fire explosive rounds but as is mentioned there is a constant reloading of the pistol which is basically the Weapon 1 reasoning but the other way round - if Corvo misses with his explosive rounds, he is basically screwed since Kirigitsu would get the opportunity here

EDGE: Kirigitsu

Weapon 3: The crossbow might not be as powerful or have as much range as the technologically superior sniper rifle but it does pack versatility on its side being able to fire different crossbow bolt types and unlike the pistol (with its similar reloading mechanics with the explosive rounds) it can be shot from at least a further distance

EDGE: Even

Grenades: Corvo's grenades need to be lit rather than have a pin pulled meaning that the M67 grenades are easier to deploy; as for explosive capabilities, well the M67 is deadly enough with its Composition B filling and shrapnel but when you say that Corvo's grenades have a more volatile substance in it and that the grenade is effective against the toughest enemies then essentially I'm scared to think that Corvo's whale-oil grenades are more lethal in their explosiveness; however the lack of an important piece of info - the blast radius of the grenades - makes me call this match-up even

EDGE: Even

Other Explosives: The claymore mines needs to be set up, the sticky grenades don't but the sticky grenades essentially are 'sticky' meaning that if Corvo misses Kirigitsu and the grenade lands on the floor then basically Kirigitsu may be lucky enough to escape the blast; I actually think that the C4 for Kirigitsu can be thrown and detonated soon after not giving Corvo time to escape

EDGE: Kirigitsu (just)

Powers: Corvo packs more than Kirigitsu and some that are actually useful here rendering some of the weaponry here useless; also, Night Vision does not work as effectively as Blink

EDGE: Corvo

X-Factors: 89.3 for Corvo, 92.7 for Kirigitsu

EDGE: Kirigitsu

Overall Winner: Despite Kirigitsu's more modern arsenal and combat experience, I have to give this to Corvo Attano - his ranged weapons might not get him far but his sword and powers will as Kirigitsu has nothing to counter the sword and his powers are not as strong or as effective as Corvo's - besides, Blink will render the claymores and c4 useless and if the battle takes place at night in the forest or something then Night Vision will make things harder for Kirigitsu if Corvo knows where to hide; also Corvo is physically stronger and faster than Kirigitsu so... yeah if this battle comes down to a melee brawl, I don't think Kirigitsu is going to make it out alive
