Sport's Edges of Edgyness!

Close Range: I was going to put a description, but 119 nailed it. These weapons have different qualities and I am torn between them. Edge: Even

Mid Range: The quarterstaff is easily the weaker weapon. It is simply a wooden stick against a deadly bladed weapon. The Yari is longer and deadlier. Easy edge in my eyes. Edge: Ashigaru

Long Range: Very easy in my opinion. You may think I am giving the edge to the gun in this scenario. But the bow has a faster reload, can give almost as big a punch as the musket ball and the soldiers are more familiar with this technology. Edge: Yeoman

WINNER: Ashigaru

Very easy in my opinion. They have better weapons and while the tangeshima has an awful reload, it will still help them. Their weapons are much better and they also have superior armor. Has to be about 64% - 36%.
