User blog comment:Leolab/User Siege Tourney, Round 12 of 75: ShaolinTiger86 (Yao) v Utter Noob (Celina)/@comment-8012490-20130527231623

Main Hand: The gladius is a really small sword and the dao is easily longer than it. Edge: Shaolin.

Off Hand: The hook swords are not overall good swords. The duel wielding makes them innacurate, their hook design is not as fast as the stabbing swords are, and they lack in defense. Utter's off hand is actually a shield, which complements her sword well. Edge: Utter Noob.

Polearm: I see no difference between the spear and the pillum that will apply to this battle, since the chinese forces are not using shields. Edge: Even.

Ranged: The flying guillotine, from what I could find, is a razor-bladed hat. It does not have the accuracy or the power of any bow. Edge: Utter Noob.

Armor: Utter Noob is the only one with armor. Edge: Utter Noob.

Next, the army:

Utter Noob wins. There is no discussion about that. She uses siege equiptment in the seige equiptment tourney. Shaolin has no seige equiptment. All he will be able to do is hope that this is age of empires and his men can set stone buildings on fire by hitting them with swords. The only chance he has is if one of his archers can hit Celena inside the castle. Even if there were no castles, Noob still has grapeshot cannons that are useful for army-on-army combat. Edge: Utter Noob.

The x-factors are irrelavent. They are incrediably close and even if they were not, you cannot win a seige tourney without seige weapons.

My vote goes to Utter Noob.
