Tybaltcapulet's" Chad Matchlock Rats vs Virgin Goblin Mages" Edges: 

Daggers:I'll give this to the Straight Blade due to some added length, and it's overall more sturdy construction. Sure it doesn't always have a guard, but the Serrated dagger of the Mice literally has a handle made out of bone and a oddly constructed blade to boot. Edge: Virgin Goblins

Melee: Putting a short sword vs a full length Katana is a pretty bad move. The added length of the Katana will easily keep any Goblin at range, and will most likely do more damage as a result. There's not much more to discuss here. Edge: Chad Rats 

Spears: Slight edge to the Goblins here. Their spears are all known to have steel or stone on the tip and some of the Rats spears are forced to be simply sharpened bamboo shoots. That messes with the unification of their weaponry and make them less effective in general.Edge: Virgin Goblins 

Disregarding Bows since they be the same thing, though I would give a marginal edge to the Goblins due to superior overall strength.

Specialists: I never though i'd see the day where fucking rats would be walking around with matchlocks. Anyways, I give them the edge for the simple fact that they can fire in a faster manner and don't require a charge-up to be effective. The mage magic will be powerful, I just think they'll be taken down before they get a chance to use it.Edge: Chad Rats 

Beauty and the Beasts: I'm gonna have to disagree with the author here and give this to the Wolf riders. Sure the blowdogs are nice as a temporary distraction and do some nice explosion damage, but the wolf riders are more sustainable in general combat. They may have trouble against formations, but the Blowdogs are entirely reliant on being a good suicide bomber and actually getting to their targets to be of any use. The Wolf Riders don't have this problem.Edge: Virgin Goblins

Heavy bois: The Goblin champion is the better armed and armored opponent here. The Mutant rat only has his club and light armor, so any major hit to him and he's done.The Champion can tank more damage, and that's one of the two major requirements to what a good heavy should do. Soak up damage and deal damage. The Champion does better at both.Edge: Virgin Goblins 

Da Leader: Is this even a contest? Squealer is obviously the better leader here. Physical strength is nice and so is durability, but these are commanders here. They have to actually lead here and personal combat doesn't really apply in this situation. So the leader with the more tactical and intelligent mind is a better fit in this battle and Squealer, being able to adapt formation tactics and the like is better than anything the Goblin King could come up with.Edge: Chad Mice

X-factors/Overall: Sure in my opinion the Goblins take the majority of the edges, but a good chunk of them are quite marginal, and the Chad Rats will utterly thrash the Goblins. This comes from their superior technology, much better tactical minds, and their leader Squealer, who will be able to lead them in a way that can counter some of the stronger Goblins they'll have to deal with. Taking on a Champion? Pepper him with Bow and Matchlock fire while in formation to bring him to his knees. The Goblins are essentially a horde and I assume that means they entirely would either  rely on superior numbers, an incompetent opponents, or surprise to win the day. All three of these options are out of the question, and in a sustained battle, Squealer and his rats will easily win here
