Elgb's "Vampie SUCKS!!!.... Blood Obviously" EDGES!!!

Powers: This is a tough one to decide on. Dio's powers like the stingy eyes and freezing technique offer range and versatility. It would surely be able to pin down the more close-quarters oriented Dusk. However, Dusk does have the overall edge in pure raw power, especially if he unleashes his vampire form. If the battle gets ip close and personal, Dusk would be able to easily outmuscle Dio. IIt's hard to choose, if Dio can keep Dusk at a distance adn spam him with his more varied power then he might win, but if Dusk can get close and use his superior strength and physicality, then Dio will be ripped to shreds. EDGE: Even

Weaknesses: Dio's weakness to sunlight is probably the biggest weakness in this battle. When the sun finally rises up, Dio's good as dead. However, his keen intellect will prevent him from wasting his limited time till sunrise. Dio also won't be able to exploit Dusk's weakness to salt, unless he's already carrying one in the first place. However, Dusk's code of honor, which would limit his powers to the sake of fairness, will be his downfall. It also doesn't help that Dio is a combat pragmatist, and he'll be able to exploit Dusk while not being restrained to any code of honors. EDGE: Dio

Deadliest Warrior?

In a battle between two "actual" vampires who are actually scary and paid respect to the actual legends, I'm gonna give the edge to Dusk here. Dio's intelligence and more varied attacks will be able to prolong the fight, but in the end, they just don't have the power to destroy Dusk in time before the sunrise. Dio's a bit of an arrogant brat, he's cunning at first but he'll slowly start to be overconfident and he'll prolong the fight jsut for the sake of his sadistic fun, which isn't good seen that he only has limited time before the sun rises. The ripple attacks offer range but Dusk isn't weak to sunlight so it won't be a problem.

But what really gives Dusk the edge here is experience. His honor code will hinder him, but there's just that fact that he's fought in more battles against supernatural beings than Dio. Dio severely lacks in the experience department, having only fought a handful of enemies in his brief career (before becoming DIO!). Dio's intelligence is something, but the moment that Dusk unleashes his berserker-like vampire form then Dio's ability to talk his way out will be moot.

Sorry Dio. You though that you're gonna win this battle. But it's Dusk who'll be kicking your ass.
