User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Minamoto no Yoshitsune vs Saladin/@comment-5900266-20160729031643

MoA's Edges:

Swords: Saif vs. Tachi. Both swords are very similar in design and are equivalent in terms of craftmanship. However, the edge goes to the Saif for superior materials.

Edge: Saladin

Polearms: Arabian Lance vs. Naginata. While they may be better in their respective areas, Arabian Lance on horseback and Naginata on foot, I still see the Naginata as the more versatile weapon as it is most certainly able to used from horseback and could likely remove a rider from his horse if used against cavalry. On top of this, the weapon performs well in its respective area: against infantry.

Edge: Minamoto no Yoshitsune

Bows: Composite Bow vs. Yumi. While the Yumi may have superior range, the Composite Bow has superior velocity and is simpler to use.

Edge: Saladin

Overall Winner: Saladin

In what I see as a very close match, I believe Saladin and his Saracen warriors will come out on top. The advantages they secure in the short range and long range on top of their slightly superior armor gives them my vote.
