User blog comment:The Deadliest Warrior/Eragon vs. Prince Caspian/@comment-422690-20110410022746

First off, Eragon hasn't even fought Gallbatorix in battle. That's probably how the series will end, since Paolini doesn't have the guts to let Gallbatorix win, but I'd still prefer a more accurate description.

So, on to the edges:

Short range: Brisingr wins. Gotta give the advantage to a sword that can spontaneously light itself on fire. Edge: Eragon.

Mid range: Pike wins. Killing tool > Non-killing tool. IIRC, the quarterstaff was originally used by farmers as a deterrent for animals. Edge: Caspian.

Long Range: Even. The Longbow has a far higher firing rate, but when the crosbow gets a shot off, it's devestating. Edge: none.

Special: Pyrokinesis wins. There's so much you can do with controlling fire, including steaming Caspian inside his armor like a lobster. Not as much with a mace. Edge: Eragon.

Overall: Much as I hate giving this to Fantasy's biggest Gary Stu (or Mary Sue if you're more familiar with that term), Eragon takes this. He's got better weapons overall, and if Saphira (or as I like to say, Eragon's B) comes into play, that'll just be unfair.
