Elgb's "Soldier vs Entertainer" EDGES!!!

Short: I'm inclined to give this one straight to the sica. The flint knife is made out of stone while the sica is amde out of durable metal. The Sica's length also gives it a huge advantage in range. EDGE: Gladiator

Mid: Sorry Mayan but I have to give this one again to the Gladiator. While the Maquahuitle was praised during its appearance in Deadliest Warrior, I still think its kind of unweildly and impractical. It's a two shot weapon and lacks the range that real swords have. The Trident may be just an improvised fishing tool, but it's got the longer reach and durability to blow that stone sword outta the water. EDGE: Gladiator

Long: No doubt the bow wins. The sling lacks the range, speed, accuracy and lethality of the good ol' bow. EDGE: Mayan Soldier

Special: This is a tough one. The scissor has that menacing slicer as well as acting like a defensive gauntlet, while the sickle has that range and maneuverability. Overall though, I gotta give this one to the latter. It's the easier and faster weapon to use. Not to mention its overwhelming variety in combat (just look at em spikes). EDGE: Mayan Soldier

X-Factors: This I gotta give to the Mayan Soldier. They're a more trained and professional type of soldier than a gladiator. Like what I said in my title, a gladiator is nothing more than an entertainer. Even though there's a cahnce he might have been a soldier himself, the Mayan Soldier just have more experience fighting in a lifetime than him. EDGE: Mayan

Deadliest Warrior?

Initially, I was going to give this fight to the gladiator because they're better trained in a one on one fight and has the advantage in mettalurgy. But the Mayan Soldier has that experience and long range weapon to give him this fight. If an Apache can take on a gladiator and win, surely the more brutal and constantly warring Mayan can as well.
