Affecto's Emotions: "Frank's gonna get you..."

Okay...I'm breaking this down by one close range vs another. Let's hopes this works...

1st Primary Close Range:  While the bat may be lighter, all it takes is for a couple of nails to get stuck in a target to leave Frank exposed. That said, the constantly moving Chainsaw wins here. Edge: Chainsaw

2nd Primary Close Range: As much as I respect the Broadsword, the Machete is lighter and only takes up one hand. A wide swing with the Broadsword will leave his back open. Edge: Machete

Axe Me A Question:  While some may say an axe is an axe is an axe, I like the double-edge attribute of Ash's, allowing him to swing back and forth without to much pause time. Edge: Double-edged Axe

Let Me Run This Through You: The Spear has the clear range edge over the Sickle here, and I see a thrust more deadly than a slice in this case. Edge: Spear

Be The Light To My Feet: Verus the Cement saw, the Torch is useless. Edge: Cement saw

What Else You Got?: Frank will use just about ANYTHING as a weapon. Sure, a metal gloves look nice, but how well are they going to hold up when the guy is hurling everything he can find at Ash? Edge: Everything Else

Boomstick, Meet The Next Generation: No match here. More rounds and a pistol grip. Edge: Remmington

Say Hello To My Little Friend: While I would like to side with the Uzi, the longer reach and explosive power of the Winchester have me won over here. If he runs out of ammo, he can just switch to the Boomstick. Edge: Winchester

World's Worst Message In A Bottle: While the Dynamite has a bigger bang, the main factor for me is the fuse time. With a Molotov, as soon as it shatters, it's a firestorm; Dynamite though, make take a few extra seconds to go off, giving Frank time to close the gap. Edge: Molotov

An Extra Note:  While I don't give Ash a good chance at winning with weapons alone, there is one thing that he has over Frank, better experience against the dead. While I haven't actually seen 'Evil Dead' or played 'Dead Rising' (a bit of a wuss on horror films, and flat broke to buy the game), I do know that the undead in their medium are different. For Frank, they've been brought around via a virus and are shambling around. For Ash though, the undead have been brought back by black magic and are actively seeking out the living. This might give him a bit of an extra boost somewhere down the line.

Overall, while Ash won't go down easily, Frank West will carry the victory. Having to face more living people than Ash had to, Frank has fought both the living and dead, all in the name of journalism (okay...I added that last part, but seriously, that guy will go to no ends to get his scoop.)
