Let's see shall we

Short Range

While both of these weapons are roughly the same length it's a no brainer which is the better weapon and that's the dagger. It's much sturdier than the frail and easily snapped needles and it has greater lethality due to it's usage as both a stabbing and slashing weapon and it's fatter blade. The Needles can only be used in a limited stabbing motion and their intentionally thin composition means they won't do that much damage anyway.

Edge: Alex Delarge

Mid Range

Obviously the Kitchen Knife is more lethal as it's a bladed weapon against a blunt instrument but the Cane cannot be underestimated. It has by some way the longest reach of any weapon in this fight and can be used by Alex with great effect, stopping Norman from getting in close and using his blades and can incapacitate him with the correct strikes.

Edge: Alex Delarge

X Factors

Alex Delarge has an average of 64.7 whereas Norman Bates has an average of 73.5.

Edge: Norman Bates

Final Verdict

Alex Delarge should win this battle of the psychos comfortably. His weaponry is much more battle durable and useful than Norman's improvised arsenal and when combined with Alex's youthful exuberance and brutal fighting style to boot are effective in controlling the battle in close quarters. Norman really isn't a head on fighter and prefers to stalk and surprise his victims and moreover despite being significantly taller than Alex, Norman isn't as physically strong nor quick as Alex. This really hurts him in a brawl whereas Alex actively seeks out fights with other gangs as well as preying on the weak and vulnerable which makes him more used to combat and greater physical fitness to boot.

Alex Delarge: 4,000

Norman Bates: 1,000
