User blog comment:Leolab/Ancient User Tourney, Round 7: Hirai Norio (Cfp) v Oliver Moreau (Winter)/@comment-17814994-20160629083603/@comment-5078776-20160629143119

" Scale or lamellar armor are impressive when they're brand new, but overtime, continuous bashing will strip its scale away and thin it down."

I have a general complaint here; These warriors aren't going to be fighting forever. Although it's never stated (and it shouldn't have to be), we can assume that both warriors' arms and armor are in prime condition.

You also never mentioned the fact that Hirai also has some thigh and shoulder protection- while that won't be stopping to much anytime soon, it is more than Oliver is packing in terms of defenses. It is something I feel you should acknowledge.

So overall, I find this entire point and edge null and void, since you are bringing up an argument that, unless Leo corrects me, is irrelevant.
