Tybaltcapulet's:"You're Pretty Good Frank" Edges:

CQC:I have to strongly disagree with Pyg here as well. Both of these two are in very good physical shape in general, so any blunt usage of the knives is basically negligible. And Boss should take CQC combat quite easily anyways. Taking down a shit ton of thugs is nothing compared to bodying entire teams of well trained Spetsnaz and CIA agents, and superhuman opponents like Ocelot and Volgin. Frank will not win a close quarters battle the vast majority of the time.Edge:Big Boss

Pistols In terms of whose weapons better supplement their fighting style, Boss takes that with his Custom M1911. It's designed to make everything about his short range game better, while still having its own use. Then there's the Mk22 which really, really sucks for this battle. Frank's not gonna go down easy, and I doubt it'll be able to put him down for long. And if one shot dosen't work out, BB has to manually cock it every time. As for Frank his Beretta and his own M1911 aren't anything terribly special, but they her the job done just as well.Edge:Even

Automatic Weapons: A variant of the old M16 vs Ak47 debate, we have the M4 vs Ak here. And yeah the M4 smashes every stat except power, though I will say that power is quite important and that I'm not underselling the usefulness of that in the AK. And the M4 is equipped with a sweet underslung grenade launcher for its own extra power. As for the LMGs, it's the total opposite. The Stoner is a better weapon in every regard. The M60 is fucked in rate of fire and the Stoner has extra muzzle velocity to compensate for the weaker round. And there's two other things my comrades below me haven't mentioned. First is the easily superior reload speed the Stoner has. Everytime Frank wants to reload with the M60, he has to go through the whole process of a belt-fed machine gun's reload. All BB has to do is take out the magazine, put in a new one, and he's ready to go. Second is the weight differwnce. Even with that 100 round drum magazine, the Stoner is still about half the weight of the M60, making it more manuverable in general. So BB dominates Long Range, and Frank dominates Medium Range.Edge:Even

Explosives: While the RPG definitely will kill Frank if he gets hit, it's quite unwieldy and hard to use in a 1v1 fight like this.In short it's just simply not practical here. The M203 on the other hand, even with its lower power, is easily more versatile, working better at most ranges. It's also much more portable on top of this, making it more effective in general.Edge:The Punisher

Overall/X-Factors: Breaking the tie here I must give this to our favorite single-eyed Metal Gear Protagonist, Big Boss. In weapons, I would say it's about even, with both of them having some weapons that really help them out in certain areas. But once you start looking at the men themselves, it's clear Boss takes this. Boss is stronger(beat the hell out of Volgin), faster(can keep up with people who can dodge fucking bullets) and can take just as much punishment as Frank. I think in general you've undersold Big Boss in marksmanship and experience, and oversold Frank's level of experience. Even without one of his eyes, Boss has consistently proven his high skill as a marksman, who through literal muscle memory alone is able make shots. And I would say Big Boss is just about one of the most experience and well versed soldiers we have here, fighting through super soldiers, Volgin, specs-ops teams etc. The vast majority of Frank's experience is killing thugs and crininals. And let's not forget that Frank is simply put, mentally unstable. Everything he's been through has shaken him heavily, while Boss has still maintained his sanity through all the shit he's been through. Frank is not one of Big Boss's easier opponents though, let's make that clear. Frank is skilled at tactical knowhow, he's built like a tank and has some good weapons to back it up. But Boss simply outclasses him in those ctaegories and more, giving him the victory here.

Big Boss:3000

The Punisher (MAX):2000
