Weapons: Slender Man wins. Mr. Scratch has more options, sure, but none of them will be effective for the simple reason that he needs to get into melee range to be effective with any of them. The tentacles, while having no given length, appear to be at least as long as his total armspan, on top of actually being part of him; you have a greater degree of control over your hand than a knife. Likewise, Slender Man will have a greater degree of control over his tentacles than Mr. Scratch will have over his melee weaponry.

Powers: Slender Man wins. Mr. Scratch has darkness manipulation and darkness-based teleportation, neither of which should be underestimated in a dark battlefield. However, his powers are restricted to dark areas. Slender Man can also teleport, but he has less if any limitations. Further, he has incredible stealth abilities, as he has both camouflage and the ability to make people selectively ignore his presence. Furthermore, Mr. Scratch is weak to light. Slender Man can control the time of day and the weather, making any outdoor section of the battlefield bright and sunny. Slender Man also has pyrokinesis and pyrogenesis powers. Fire creates light. Slender Man's got a very easy way to exploit Mr. Scratch's weaknesses.

Overall: Slender Man wins. I'm not going to go into the X-factors or other evaluation, 'cause Slender Man's probably going to walk away from this with a fairly easy victory. He can attack at a greater range, he has a wider scope of powers, and he has the ability to create and control Mr. Scratch's weakness. No contest.
