User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Game of Thrones Season 6 release: Gregor Clegane (Game of Thrones) vs Horace Altman (Ranger's Apprentice)/@comment-379205-20160421133613

119's "You're going to fight that!?" Edges


 * Swords: Horace is a skilled swordsman with a well-made sword, but will he be able to get past the five-foot greatsword or, for that matter Gregor's plate armor. Gregor may not be as skilled, but he makes up with it with the massive size of his sword and sheer brute strength behind his swings. Edge: Gregor Clegane.


 * Secondary: Gregor Clegane takes this one with ease, the buckler will not have any real effect as a striking weapon, and could even be destroyed or removed by a sword strike. Gregor's strength, on the other hand, means that even if he is disarmed, he could simply break bones and cause fatal injuries with his bare hands, beating or crushing his adversary to death. Edge: Gregor Clegane


 * Armor: Gregor's armor can hold off sword strikes, lances, and all but perhaps the most powerful crossbow bolt and arrows. In fact, given that some late 15th plate armor could stop early firearms and replicas made with period techniques have been tested to stop MODERN .32 pistol rounds. To be frank, I wouldn't be comfortable facing Gregor with anything less than a modern 7.62mm rifle. And Horace definitely doesn't have one of those! Edge: Gregor Clegane

Winner: Gregor Clegane. Gregor is beat in all but strength in X-Factors, but really, with his massive sword and heavy armor, that's all he really needs. Horace will last a while, but in the end, it will end like Oberyn vs Gregor.
