Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close Range- The Joker. These guns are pretty damn similar, both firing 9x19mm rounds with the same effective distance of 50-m. The Glock gets the advantage here for being full auto, giving it an edge in the rate of fire, which will allow it to overpower the TEC-9, which also seems to be inheritly less accurate than the Glock. This is a close call, but I'd have to give the full-auto Glock the edge here...barely.


 * Mid-Range- Sweet Tooth. The Smith and Wesson M76 has almost 100-m in range on the Spectre M4,  despite Kane's higher rate of fire. The Spectre is a more compact and light-weight weapon, with the possibility for a larger clip (it's not specified which of multiple possibilities this one is), but without the range it's severley crippled. Still, with a larger clip, higher rate of fire and lighter weight, it will be easier for Marcus to use the gun, and that will allow him to make up the 100-m difference in range.


 * Long Range- Sweet Tooth. The M16 has greater range by a solid 100 to 400-M, and has a higher rate of fire, and is a ligher gun. The M1 Garand is more accurate, but this is kind of like comparing apples and oranges. The M16 doesn't hit as hard, but it hits from further away and more frequently, allowing Sweet Tooth to outperform the Joker in long-range combat.


 * Special- The Joker. The Combat Knife is actually made with the purpose of fighting anf killing, while the Butcher Knfie is more of an improvised weapon and not explicitly made to kill the shit out of dudes.


 * Explosive- Sweet Tooth. For the Joker Venom to be useful, the Joker has to either be aware where to place it in advance or, it won't be able to get close enough to be effective. I'm not even sure if someone who's head is bathed in Hellfire would even notice the Toxin. The Landmine, however, can be placed down much easier in the midst of a battle, and can is usually harder to spot. It may not always kill, but it does maim if it doesn't, and it's pretty much a guarenteed kill or lead-in to a kill if the Joker lands on it.


 * The Deadliest Warrior- The Joker. He has a few shortcomings in his weaponry, but he takes a few key points. The Joker has the brains to outthink his foe, and the skill to improvise a plan to take advantage of any environment. Sweet Tooth is more acustomed to vehicular combat, and while it's not all he does, it is his primary method of combat, and removed from that element he's at an inarguable disadvantage. The Joker is also, while batshit insane, able to continue planning and preparing in any situation...Sweet Tooth, not so much- and the hot head will lose his shit while dealing with the Joker. Once you allow your anger and rage to get the better of your judgement, the enemy gets the better of you. (Unless your name is Bruce Banner.) This battle will simply go to the Joker because he can turn anything to his advantage, and doesn't need top-of-the-line firearms to go toe-to-toe with someone like Kane.
