1. Wallace and Ryu

No contest. Not only will Ryu have far better hand to hand combat skills than Wallace, but he will also be toting a cannon, which is way more advanced than what Wallace has. Plus Ryu seems to be a Ninja, which are noted as masters of stealth, Medieval Japan's special forces: Wallace won't know what hit him until he was walking towards St. Peter and the Pearly gates

EDGE: Oshbosh

2. Uncle Iroh/Samurai Jack

Uncle Iroh relies more on magic attacks than Samurai Jack, and with his advanced age can come better experience and knolwege about sorcery and hand to hand fighting skills. Samurai Jack may be a powerful hombre, but he looses out to the Uncle

EDGE: Military Brat

3. Heavy vs Marcus Luttrel

Heavy looks like a big dumb goon, perhaps with the IQ of 9. He must be three generations since his ancestral stock started getting around to bipedal walking. Luttrel on the other hand is a high polished soldier, no doubt having a far, far, far, far, far better head and brains on his shoulders. Heavy is clumsy, and will most likely rely on his minigun mostly. Plus, Heavy will use his fists most of the time in hand to hand encounters, while Luttrell will use his military hand to hand training to topple his opponents: Using your bare fists against a well trained soldier is a good way to take a quick and flawless dirt nap.

4. Carlos vs Snake Eyes

Snake Eyes takes this battle due to stealth and far better hand to hand combat training. Carlos is used to normal soldiers, not the cream of the crop that is GI Joe, and the latter are picked from the best of the best of the best of the best of the world. Nah, Snake Eyes downs him from behind

Edge: Oshbosh

5. Ellen Ripley vs Judge Dredd

Judge Dredd has the edge in physicality: his punches can shock even Batman (yes they have fought once). Ellen has fought Xenomorph aliens, while Judge Dredd has fought supervillians, and has served as a street judge for years, racking up a whole lot of combat experience. I Think Judge Dredd gets experience here also, as well as better armor. And for someone to hold his own against the Batman, perhaps the best hand to hand combat expert in the DC Universe, one with peak human strength (can lift 1000 lbs above his head, regularly bench 1000 lbs, having a punching power described by some as superhuman, etc) and other physical capabilities, means that not only is Dredd pretty tough, he is a master hand to hand combattant as well, something that cannot be said for Ellen Ripley, even though she is one tough broad! Dredd gets this for experience, hand to hand combat training, body armor, and pure physicality

EDGE:Oshbosh

6. Qui Gon Jinn vs Zero

Zero's speed will prove key: if, like other violent cartoon characters of his type, he can move at far greater speeds than normal physical human beings, he could pull off a quick upset. Qui Gon can move fast as well, but not super fast during combat. His force should be able to aide him well, But Zero has a boomerang shield, buster shot, better armor to back him up, while Qui-Gon has but regular cloth clothing, no armor. Their blades are both made of energy so they should be fairly equal, but overall I say that Qui-Gon will fall to Zero, due to better speed, agility, as well as having armor

Edge: OshBosh

Overall, Military Brat is in serious trouble: Oshbosh brings to battle far more lethal opponents, and they will have a significant win advantage to MB's men and women

OSHBOSH IS THE VICTOR
