User blog comment:Cfp3157/Season Break Battle: Gabriel van Helsing vs. Abraham Lincoln/@comment-5795750-20130827031525

I thought this was the unfair battle you mentioned you deleted from your sandbox or something...

Anyway...

BG1's "Hunters of a Different Name" Edges:

Close: Essentially, the saws are a bit like Shurikens but bigger - deadly when thrown but not that of much use in close combat. As Affectos states, Abe can wield the axe in either hand leaving room for another close-range weapon to be in use whereas Gabe has to drop the saws to use another weapon

EDGE: Lincoln

Medium: I'm actually gonna have to side with the twin revolvers here - they might take a bit of time to reload but they are more accurate and have further range than the throwing knives

EDGE: Van Helsing

Long: Arguably I have to say the Henry Rifle actually gets the edge here since it is capable of laying down rapid fire that could keep Gabe at a distance or possibly kill him; since when did the rifle have a long reload time compared to the gas piston system of the crossbow?

EDGE: Lincoln

Special: One must not forget that Lincoln is partly vampire himself so the Stake will be of some lethal damage to him and the stake can offer some range and arguably options against the brute force of Abe's vampiric strength (it is established in both Van Helsing and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter that vampires are weak to silver so)

EDGE: Van Helsing

Overall: All in all this is a case of a hunter catching its prey and put simply Abraham, while being very tough, is the prey and Gabriel Van Helsing is the hunter who will eventually win. As Affectos implies, Van Helsing just has the skill and experience in dealing with strong vampires (which is what Lincoln partially is).
