Laq's "Electric Boogaloo" Edges

Nata vs. Pickaxe: In addition to making Tybalt feel uncomfortable, the pick has the greater reach and power of the two weapons, but it's not meant to be used as a weapon, and it shows with how heavy it is, along with its swings being easy to see coming and have a tiny killing surface. The nata is smaller, but it doesn't have any of those other disadvantages, and Rena is naturally fast enough for the length to not be too much of a problem. Edge: Rena Ryuguu

Improvised Firebomb vs. Nailgun: This one is interesting. If Rena can lure Harry into her trap and she gets the chance to set it off, then he's dead, no two ways about it. The nailgun is only useful at point-blank range, but if Harry lands a hit, even if it doesn't kill her, it'll leave a wound that will seriously hamper her ability to escape or fight back. I think there's a better chance of the former happening, mostly because of Rena's experience with luring victims into traps and the fact that Harry's putting himself at a lot of risk by going in close with the nailgun. Edge: Rena Ryuguu

Hacksaw vs. Bowie Knife: Things are finally in Harry's favor here. The hacksaw makes for a shitty weapon; it's meant to saw, not to slice, and it's going to get stuck in Harry's body if Rena lands a swing with it, while also doing minimal damage. The knife is short, but it's much more conventional, and it gets the job done. Edge: Harry Warden

X-Factors and Conclusion: Big surprise, this ends the same way it did last time. Weapons aside, Harry's strong, but that's all that he's got going for him. He's not even that tough, and a few good hits with the nata will surely put him down. Rena is faster, and she's plenty strong as well, so Harry's strength is hardly an advantage at all. Rena's more experience, having to fight her victims a lot more than Harry did. Harry's decent at using his environment, but it's rudimentary stuff, and the fact that he gets his pickaxe stuck is a testament to his terrible taste in weaponry and his incompetence. Harry's best chance is to use that nailgun, but will he be able to get close enough to land a good shot without getting carved up by the nata or lured into a room rigged to explode? Probably not. Congrats, Pygmy, your waifu wins again. Winner: Rena Ryuguu!
