Well, I guess I'll break up the tie.

Melee- Jack Cobb. Since my original post was cut short (by my own stupidity), I'll just make this short and sweet. The Axe, though it does more damage, it takes longer, and because of the extra length, Koyoto is left utterly defenseless should Jack get in close, which is very possible. And Jack's armor should defend against the Axe well enough, Koyoto's against the Katana however, not so well.

Close- Jack Cobb. The Ranger Sequoia packs a big punch, and has more ranger and fires faster than the Plasma Defender. Plus, it doesn't take long to reload, the main thing the Defender has over this is clip size, but it isn't much larger, so it makes little difference.

Medium- Even. The LAER does more damage, and is only slightly less accurate, plus is lighter. However, this is a close one, as they both feature the same clip size, and the Marksman Carbine reloads faster and fires faster, which makes up for it's lack in damage dealing. This is too close for me to call.

Long- Koyoto. The Bozar has a much bigger clip, and fires much faster, and while it doesn't deal as much damage, the faster fire rate makes up for it.

Explosive- Jack Cobb. The MFC Grenades pack a bigger punch, and can be used more tactically and aren't as double edged as the Nuka Grenade is with the irradiation effect.

Armor- Even. These are both completely different armors that complement completely different fighting styles. Jack's is more durable and provides more protection, but Koyoto's is more stealthy and increases his perception also. It also administers stimpacks and the like automatically, which is nice, but if you don't watch it, you'll run out of stimpacks before long.

Companions- Even. They're both Nightstalkers. So.....there's not a whole lot else to judge upon really.

Overall- Jack Cobb. He's packing better weapons in the melee, close, and explosives departments, while Koyoto is only dominating the long range, which should work more in his favor anyways. Their mid's are essentially even, so that's all down to who's able to take more shots, which will be Jack. His armor is more for actual battles, whereas Koyoto's is more dependent upon ending it quickly, and that's unlikely. This is a close one though, as Koyoto can easily fall back into the shadows for a quick retreat to rethink his strategy, but I think that Jack can stick it out until it Koyoto's armor is just too destroyed to even protect him, then Jack can take him out with his weapon of choice.
