El Alamein's "EPIC TOURNAMENT STYLE BUFFET OF EDGES" Edges!

Since I can't vote on Witch King vs. Achilles (I would have voted for Achilles) and Aragorn vs. Gilan (I would have voted for Aragorn) I'll just go with what's left:

Katniss Everdeen vs. Owain Glyndwr: Close Range: Awl vs. War Hammer: The Awl is a tool for making armor and it is a long pointed spike, so while it can technically kill, it won't get past Owain's armor. The War Hammer is simple, effective, and will tear the unarmored Katniss apart. Edge: Owain Glyndwr

Mid Range: Combat Knife vs. Longsword: Seriously? The combat knife would have been better as a close range weapon, and it's too short and doesn't have enough depth to reach vital organs. The longsword can swing, stab, and keep Katniss at a distance. Edge: Owain Glyndwr

Long Range: Bow and Arrow vs. Welsh Longbow: Katniss survives on archery, and Owain doesn't. So, while Owain is a fine archer, he won't be able to keep up with Katniss' quick and precise shots. Edge: Katniss Everdeen

Special: Handcannon vs. Snares: The Hand Cannon is an insta-kill, while the Snares won't touch Owain, never mind kill him. Edge: Owain Glyndwr

Winner: Owain - He's a grown man with better weapons and training, with actual armor. Katniss is a little girl with weapons that are best used for disarming and stunning. She'll get eaten alive, just like Joan of Arc SHOULD have gotten eaten alive by William the Conqueror.

Legolas vs. Altair Ibn-La'Ahad: Close Range: Long Knives vs. Short Blade: A long knife vs. a short blade? Well, given that the knives are longer, they'll get a distinct advantage in a close ranged fight because they can keep the foe at a distance. Edge: Legolas

Mid Range: Nothing vs. Sword of Altair: A weapon vs. nothing? Edge: Altair Ibn-La'Ahad

Long Range: Bow of Galadhirim vs. Throwing Knives: Legolas is a master archer, but that aside, a bow has greater range and accuracy than a throwing knife - and if you miss you can just fire off a follow-up shot. Edge: Legolas

Special: Multiple Arrows vs. Hidden Blade: That's cute, Altair thinks he can get close enough to Legolas to stab him? The Multiple Arrows will keep Altair at a distance and leave him impaled to the wall. Edge: Legolas

Winner: Legolas - His long-range game is far too much for Altair to try and compete with, and up close his long knives will still keep the assassin at bay. Altair's greatest strength is his stealth, and when he drops the act all is lost.

Yeah, my edges look pretty crappy but look at how obvious these damn matchups are. A warrior-king vs. a girl? Why didn't you put Robert the Bruce vs. Charlemagne, they're both from the same area and time period! Charlemagne will destroy Peter and Robert the Bruce is gonna get eaten alive by Ezio! These matchups need to seriously reconsidered, because some of these don't make sense and are seriously one-sided.
