Laq's "Hypercompetent Sidekicks" Edges

Baseball Bat vs. Knife: I'm going to side with the knife. Both weapons are enough to be fatal with a single blow, and the bat might have greater range, but a quick jab with a knife can be performed much quicker than a heavy swing with a bat. Weapons aside, Ken's metal arm pretty much ensures that any melee encounter will be in his favor. Edge: Ken Clarkson

Ace of Winchesters vs. Fire Light: I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on this one. Both weapons are extremely powerful, and it will only take one shot from either gun to end the fight instantly. If I could see specifics like ammunition capacity I could make a call, but I suppose such specifics don't exist. With the information provided, I have to call it even. A single shot from either warrior will win the fight; it's all about who gets hit first. Edge: Even

The Knowledge vs. Metallic Arm: This is a very interesting comparison. Anyways, I'll give it straight to Ken. The Knowledge is certainly powerful, and like the firearms, it will be a fight-ending ability if Chas can get the time set it up. However, the physical power provided by Ken's arm is a much more immediate and tangible advantage to the fight, and it helps to make up for the martial arts training and other physical abilities that he lakes in comparison to Chas. Edge: Ken Clarkson

X-Factors and Conclusion: It should come as no surprise that I'll be voting for Ken Clarkson. He'll dominate in any melee fight thanks to his knife and metallic arm, even if he doesn't have Chas's martial arts training. Chas may be a tough guy, but even he'll go down from a stab wound caused by something as strong as Ken's arm. As I said earlier, both weapons have the power to bring down their target in a single shot, but due to Ken's better tactical abilities, he'll have a better chance at doing this. The Knowledge is also powerful, and Ken doesn't have anything to counter it, but considering how outmatch Chas is in strength and smarts, I highly doubt that the fight will last long enough for him to make use of it. Winner: Ken Clarkson!
