Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: Overall edge goes to Oda for both weapons, capable of piercing through the chainmail with a good stab. Richard will have to aim for the samurai armor's weak points in the armpit regions and the pelvic area. Edge: Oda Nobunaga

Mid Range: The Yari spear definitely gets the edge. The skinny blade will easily pierce through the rings of the armor worn by Richard. Plus it has greater length and is lighter. Edge: Oda Nobunaga

Long Range: The crossbow is definitely a good weapon, capable of piercing Oda's armor; however, depending on the bolt used, it won't go very far through the armor to kill. Overall, edge to the yumi since it has that greater rate of fire and accuracy. Edge: Oda Nobunaga

Special: Well I wouldn't be so quick to judge the mace and shield combo against the musket. Overall, I will have to give my edge to Rich on that one. Yeah the musket has that ranged power, but the bullet won't go very far when that shield is up. Plus its a very early generation musket, so it lacks accuracy and out of 10 shots, maybe two will make their mark. Edge: Richard the Lionheart

The Deadliest Warrior: Oda Nobunaga, he is just bringing in greater piercing weapons, especially the yari spear. Richard won't be able to do much against Oda's armor and he may have to aim for weakly armored spots which will cause him to waste time and open up his stance, allowing Oda to deliver quick slashes and stabs. 595-405
