Tybaltcapulet's "Yet another Crazy Anime Girl Battle" Edges:

Spiked Whip vs Nata: The Spiked whip is meant for terror. It's meant for torture and striking fear into the hearts of her enemies, but both of these two are remorseless murderers with no capacity for empathy or normal emotions. And as and actual weapon, the spiked whip kind of sucks. It has to hit just right to actually do damage, and can hit you if you aren't skilled with it. The Nata is actually inherently able to damage people consistently even with it not being intended as a weapon. Edge: Mai Mashiro

Sledgehammer vs Metal Pipe: I have to agree with Laqy on this one, the pipe is simply the better weapon here because while it is quite irregular and not designed for it's purpose, it can actually be used quickly. The sledgehammer is slow, heavy and short and will be outreached by the pipe quite easily. Not only will Mai be able to get faster blows with her substantial strength, she can do so from a longer range.Edge:Mai Mashiro 

Stun Gun and Syringe vs Baton and Awl: Really most of these weapons aren't amazingly useful to this battle as both Mai and Shion have main weapons that are way better in all categories. I give this to Mai though, because she can more reliably use the Baton and Awl than Shion with the Stun Gun and Syringe. Both of Shion's weapons here rely on each other to be useful. The Syringe is uttterly useless if Mai isn't shocked, and Mai is extremely fast and agile. I believe that Shion will have a tough time even getting close enough to Mai to shock her. The Awl isn't great, but can actually be used as a standalone weapon, and the baton is a reliable blunt weapon, which with Mai's enhanced strength can be quite deadly. The Stun Gun and Syringe are just way too situational to be good weapons. Edge:Mai Mashiro 

Tokarev TT-33 vs Beretta 92: I have said this time and time again, there's a reason that high power, lower capacity pistols were phased out by higher capacity pistols. Because at the end of the day, being able to fire more rounds is much more important than moderately higher stopping power. Neither of these two are wearing armor, so both of these pistols should be able to kill without a problem. But when the Tokarev less than half the rounds of the Beretta, there's a serious possibility Shion will quickly run out of ammo while Mai is still rattling off rounds.Edge:Mai Mashiro

AK-47 vs Uzi: Finally something Shion actually nails. In terms of long range, Shion dominates with the AK-47, having the superior handling and range. The Uzi isn't a terrible weapon, but it isn't great for range. (I would like to say though that most Uzis don't have a 30 round magazine, but a 32 round one is normal. Unless of course the Uzi is modified to fit 30 rounds.)Edge:Shion Sonozaki

Overall/X-factors: This to me is a clear victory for '''Mai Mashiro. '''She sweeps the melee weapons, overall having the superior close range weaponry, and the strength to back it up. Shion's melee weapons seem to be terror and stealth based, with the Stun Gun, Syringe, small sledgehammer, and spiked whip, while Mai's seem to be better designed for outright lethality. And as I said in the Long Range edge, the Uzi isn't even a bad weapon. It's just functionally outlclassed by the AK-47 which is specifically designed as a rifle. And as warrriors Mai also dominates the needed categories. She nails strength,speed, and agility which can balance out her slighly inferior training and experience. This will also allow her to make up for her range disadvantage, by easily closing the gap between them and chopping Shion into pieces. Shion is much more comfortable with her guns, and once those fail against Mai's superior physicality and speed, it's all over for her.

Mai Mashiro (Dead Tube): 3500

Shion Shiozaki (Higurashi): 1500
