 * Close Range- Lincoln. Van Helsing's saws are deadly weapons that sever limbs and chop through doods like it ain't no thing, but the range on them is extremely short, and getting up close enough to use them is a huge vulnerability for Van Helsing. The Axe, while not as flashy or high damage dealing, has a signficant range advantage and still hits with powerful enough force to take limbs and cleave through Van Helsing.


 * Mid-Ramge- Van Helsing. The revolvers have better range, better accuracy, deal much higher damage and are easier to use and carry multiple uses of- it's likely that Van Helsing has more shots for the twin guns than Lincoln has throwing knives, which are far less effective to begin with.


 * Long Range- Lincoln. The Henry Rifle has a longer range, is more accurate, and deals more hurt in each shot. The only disadvanatage it has against the crossbow is that Van Helsing's bow holds much more ammo before needing to reload, but that matters little when a bullet paints the contents of your brain on the back of the wall because your opponent has a range and accuracy edge.


 * Special- Even. Van Helsing is good at killing vampires, and the stake will do a number on vampire Lincoln, but I'm calling this even because the Stake is also not a super practical melee weapon, and Honest Abe the Vampire will be able to hit and move much harder thanks to his passive skill, making all his weapons much more dangerous and making the stake all the more impractical.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Abraham Lincoln. Vampire Lincoln has an advantage in strength, speed and endurance, has a better melee weapon and a better ranged weapon, and will be able to overcome Van Helsing at every turn. The only thing that could be his downfall is a stake through the heart, but I find it much more likely that Lincoln will get Van Helsing before this can happen.
