Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Close Range- Super Mutants. The Brute has better weapons at range, and one hell of a useful melee weapon. Maybe not as sheer horror as the drill-arm, but the sledgehammer is faster, and a bit more useful with combos and more precise attacks, due to the cumbersome nature of the drill.
 * Mid-Range- The Big Daddies. The Rosie's Rivet Gun and Mines give it more options in a fight than the Chinese Assault Rifle and frags. Y U NO USE ICONIC SUPER-SLEDGE?
 * Long Range- Super Mutants. The Overlord is an absolute terror on the battlefield, and the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle is devestating at any and all ranges, being pin-point accurate from vast distances but still being lethal when foes close the distance. The Ion Laser requires holding on the target to do major damage, and the tough Super Mutant Overlord can easily pull off a Tri-Beam Laser shot to disarm the Big Daddy or kill it before it even begins to feel the burn.
 * Specials- The Super Mutants. The Centaurs are a direct combat threat, and a persistant one. Their grotesque appearances will easily terrify the Little Sisters, and the Little Sisters will only be able to heal if there isn't an enemy nearby- if there is, the Big Daddy's instinctive need to defend her will occupy his thoughts even over it's own well-being. The Little Sister is as much a threat to the Big Daddies as an aide- their prescence makes them fight harder, but much, much stupider due to their blind rage. With the added bonus of the stealthy, batshit insane Nightkin on the prowl on the battlefield, the Centaurs lurking about making life hell for the Little Sisters and providing constant hostile contact for the Big Daddies, and the overwhelming firepower of the weapons in their special category, the Super Mutants take a powerful tactical edge here.
 * Deadliest Warrior- The Super Mutants. They're better fighters, and can strategize and think much better than the blind slaves that the Big Daddies are. The Nightkin and Centaur give them a much better tactical advantage without needing them to think about things- their mere prescence on the battlefield makes it hell for the Big Daddy forces.
 * Stage- I'd like to see the fight take place in Hephaestus, with the Super Mutants trying to gain access to Rapture for something they need- could open up a wealth of possible stories that could be a ton of fun, while I can't see a logical reason for the Big Daddies to be in the Capitol Wasteland or the Mojave.
