Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Close Range- V. In most cases, a gun beats a knife. But this is no ordinary knife fighter. V can use his blades with such speed, precision and skill that he can easily beat out handguns with them- allowing him to be just as deadly as Deadshot at the same distances, but while also giving him the versatility to get up close and unleash in hand-to-hand ranges too.
 * Mid-Range- Even. The Beretta has more rounds, so it can keep shooting, but the M1911 is more powerful. Both of these are great advantages, but being such similar weapons, there's nothing to make me decide one is noticably more powerful than the other.
 * Long Range- Deadshot. It's a powerful and accurate Assault Rifle going against an SMG. Need I say more? Not to mention Deadshot's dead...shot...accuracy (huh, probably could've worded that one better.), the TAR-21 is easily Deadshot's most effective weapon.
 * Special Weapon- V. The Wristguns are Deadshot's most iconic weapons, but they're not all that accurate and he won't be protected from the stunning tear gas. Plus- the T&T can set up traps and nasty surprises, or just blast him out while he's stunend from the aforementioned gas- it's a deadly combination, and the Wrist Guns with some Smoke Pellets just aren't going to do the trick.
 * Deadliest Warrior- V. V is smarter, faster, stronger, more driven to fight and packing more skill. Deadshot may be the most accurate gun-for-hire in the DCU, but he's unstable emotionally and mentally, and can't come anywhere near V in ambition or intellegence. The only way that Deadshot has a chance is if he can spot V from far, far off and pop him with the TAR, and even then it's unlikely to work with V's masterful stealth.
 * Stage Vote- The battle should take place in London Rooftops. Deadshot, being a merc, would be hired to pop V, while V would never actually leave his own stomping grounds while he has a Fascist Government to fight- it wouldn't make sense for him to head to Gotham for a weekend stroll or something.
