BeastMan14's "Heres To Youuuu, Natasha and Clint" Edges

H2H Combat: Captain America. This is an interesting comparison because of the difference in fighting styles. CQC is a more reactive fighting style, designed to counter blows and swiftly bring down the target, while Cap's fighting style is about a mixture of driving the offensive and overwhelming the opponent with attacks while countering anything they throw at him with his shield. Cap wins out here not just because of his superior strength and speed up-close, but because the shield, which will make landing a hit a lot more difficult for Boss while Steve can pummel him up-close.

Weapons/Equipment: Big Boss. Boss wins out here because of sheer versatility. Steve's shield is a very useful weapon and arguably the best weapon here, but it also has very limited usage. You can throw it, use it as a melee weapon, and block attacks. That's pretty much it. With his arsenal, Boss could easily attack Steve from any direction or range, setting up ambushes and fake-outs that will keep Steve on his toes.

Other Abilities: Even. This is a case where the skillsets balance each other out. They're both brilliant, immensely skilled combatants, just in different ways. Steve's a superior fighter and arguably better tactician in a more traditional battle, while Boss is craftier and sneakier. It's a wash.

X-Factors: Big Boss. Boss is a more experienced and better trained warrior than Cap, which overrides Cap's greater brutality.

Deadliest Warrior: Big Boss. I flip-flopped on this a lot, to the point where I was staring at this bit for a minute or two, thinking it over, but at the end of the day, I'm willing to side against my boy Cap on this one. When it comes down to it, while Steve is physically superior and wielding the best weapon in this fight, Boss just has the greater experience and more varied skillset to bring down the star-spangled man. Overal Score: 520-480
