Guitarcar’s “Ah Shit, Here we go again. Worst place in the world, Sicily” edges.

Melee: Just to counter the reach argument, Im gonna say that non of the Grove gangsters could actually utilize their bat’s range correctly actually. They almost never one shot any pedestrian with their bats. This could be disastrous as the Mafia boys could easily close the distance after taking a hit or 2 from the bat. If they close in, then its a KO for the Corleone. Michael is OP in Close combat.

Edges: The Corleone

Pistols: Its pretty obvious. While the model 36 could indeed do some damage, Its range, capacity and accuracy as a revolver will hamper any chances of the Corleone being able to lay fire long enough.

Major Edge: The grove

SMG: The Thompson might be heavy and frankly awkward but this time it takes the lead. This is because the thompson’s stock and drum mag will stomp the entire Grove Gang with an endless barrage that even their Mac couldnt stop. In a hospital hall, an entire group of thompsons will obviously cause significant trouble.

Major Edge: Corleone Family

Shotguns: The Ithaca 37 takes this one. With a higher capacity and the fact that if the Corleone do miss or fail to incapacitate the gang in those 2 shots (Which is likely) then they will be almost certainly be screwed by 2+ more 12 gauge shells coming at them. Practical use beats the risk reward tool here.

Edge: Grove street

X-Factors:

Big talk here. While the Mafia gang are experienced and are much more formal. I have to give it to the grove.

1 thing the Corleone miss is that CJ js a literal tank. Both men being able to take several shots (Or missiles if we include the odd gameplay mechanics). Comparing the hp from both games and we see that Michael takes more damage from pistols metro cops use compared to CJ who could take on a SWAT Mp5 point blank and only lose quarter of his health (Half if we count this version of cj)

Ryder, Sweet and Smoke have lower durability and thus will lose to the more skilled Corleone members but all members could not stand up to their main players Michael and CJ.

However again, I would pick CJ over michael due to his in game fates over Michael’s in game feats. Michael could actually aim better but thats his only advantage. Cj runs faster, Punch harder and will last longer if the 2 GOATs will come face to face.

(DF cliches and what not)

If we ignore those in-game feats for both Godfather II and GTA SA however then I will give this to the Corleone.

Please clarify me if I could use in-game feats.

Edge: ???

Result: tbc
