User blog comment:Appelmonkey/Anime Season, Episode 3 Actoin/Revy (Black Lagoon) vs. The Crusader (Hatered)/@comment-5795750-20151004125313

BG1's "The History of Violence, Part 2: Battle of the Sexes" Edges:

Melee: Revy certainly can fight but unless you have a fighting style that involves CQC-style disarming and stuff like that, then you certainly have no chance at counterattacking against someone with a knife

EDGE: Crusader

Pistol: 2 guns are better than 1. 'Nuff said.

EDGE: Revy

SMG: Higher ROF, bigger magazine, greater range... I can see why the MP5 then beats out the PM-63

EDGE: Crusader

Rifle: Sure the AK may be the more durable of the two guns as well as the one with the bigger magazine but the G3 gets the edge for me since it has the deadlier round (with a deadly muzzle velocity of 800m/s), can fire further away and is more accurate

EDGE: Revy

Rocket Launcher: This is perhaps an occasion where the RPG-7 is outclassed, in this case by the SMAW with a deadlier rocket-head (with a muzzle velocity higher than the RPG) and a greater range

EDGE: Crusader

Special: Flamethrower may have that psychological edge in allowing for a more devastating kill but in all honesty, it is vulnerable since it can be shot at to deadly effect; the grenade launcher on the other hand is safer to use, has a much greater range than the flamethrower and can definitely do more damage

EDGE: Revy

X-Factors: Qualitative over quantitative, eh? Well alright then... I will say that Revy definitely gets edges in terms of marksmanship and agility and the Crusader definitely has the edge in brutality; what I will contest is the experience X-Factor - after all, Revy has been in the criminal business ever since her late teens (as a thief and serial killer) and thus she will have run in with some heavily-armed thugs of her own and besides, most of the Black Lagoon series has seen her run in with the Triad, ex-soldiers from Russia, Colombian drug-runners and even an ex-FARC guerrilla; the Crusader has only ever dealt with local police, SWAT and national military which can be said to be of a far lesser degree of foes than Revy has ever faced

Overall Winner: I may have to go against Elgb's grain here and say that Revy takes this, though it won't be an easy run. Sure she may lose out on some of the weapons edges but her near-superhuman agility and marksmanship should be more than enough compensation to ensure she outguns the Crusader. Furthermore, Revy's experience as a criminal and fighter should alert her to the fact that the Crusader is nothing more than a dangerous loony with a very bloodthirsty appetite quite unlike Roberta; furthermore, as far as I can see, the Crusader is merely all about that "spray and pray" type of killing and thus merely goes after his targets in a way to ensure there is collateral damage - in a one-on-one, the Crusader is just helpless and he will most likely underestimate Revy as just an average Chinese-American criminal hitman or something that can easily be taken care of (which Revy is simply more than).
