— Vercetti Gang member to Tommy Vercetti

” |
Tommy Vercetti was originally dispatched by the Forelli family to Vice City to oversee a drug deal funded by Forelli family money; the drug deal was supposed to be the beginning of the Forelli expansion down south towards Vice City. After the deal was ambushed by the Diaz gang, Vercetti was forced to start over with no money or property and aided only by Ken Rosenberg, a bent lawyer with Forelli connections. He eventually killed the perpetrator of the drug deal attack, Ricardo Diaz, aided by his new friend Lance Vance. Following the killing, he seized many properties and businesses assets in the city, with no assistance from the Forelli family, forming the "Vercetti Gang" in the process.
The Vercetti Gang is headed by Tommy Vercetti, a renegade Forelli family member, who assumed control of multiple business in Vice City, Florida, circa 1986. The organization is known to be involved in various illegal enterprises, including extortion, drug dealing and organized crime. Though some might consider the Vercetti Gang a mafia family, due to being ran by a former mafia member, it cannot be a true mafia family because there are members, who are not Italian.
Battle vs. Leone Crime Family (by 123chaseyoung)[]
Leone Family: 
Vercetti Gang: 
Five Leone mafiosi were sitting around a table in a dock somewhere in the border of Liberty City and Vice City. They were enjoying a few beers as they admired the bay, the sunlight, and the smell of the fresh ocean brine. Suddenly, men on motorcycles arrived, brandishing guns. These were the members of the dreaded Vercetti Gang, who were tasked to take over the docks and eliminate any mafia gangsters inside.
No words were spoken as the Vercetti gangsters opened fire with their machine guns. Several surprised Leone mafiosi were wounded while two of them got their torso filled with bullets. The Leone mafiosi managed to drew their guns and fired back. One Vercetti gangster dropped dead from his motorcycle after taking a 9mm from a pistol to the head. The two parties then took cover on the metal crates, offices, and sacks that dotted the dock.
One of the Leone mafiosi got a bit brave as he got out of his cover and laid down fire from his MP5. His pay and spray was rewarded with one Vercetti gang member dead; the bullets piercing through his crate covers and into their chests. One Vercetti gangster charged at the Leone mafiosi with his Uzi, intent on avenging his friend. But the superior rate of fire of the Leone's MP5 got him scurrying back in retreat. Unfortunately, him running away only ended with him getting shot in the back.
One of the Vercetti gangsters finally got the lock-on on the Leone mafiosi, killing him with a well-placed .45 cal to the temple. Unbeknownst to him, a Leone mafiosi managed to sneak up around his cover and opened fire with his pistol. The Vercetti gangster managed to duck in time before tackling the Leone mafiosi. With him on top (nothing sexual you pervert), the Vercetti gang smashed his pistol repeatedly on the Leone mafiosi's face.
THinking they have won, the Vercetti gangster got up as another fellow gangster patted him on the back for a job well done. However, their celebration was cut short as the latter began his dance of death; his body torso riddled with submachine gun fire. The Leone mafiosi then tried to fire at the remaining Vercetti gangster but his gun ran out. The Vercetti gangster tried to shoot him back but found his gun broken from using it as a club.
With evil in his eyes, the Leone mafiosi drew his baseball bat and chased the Vercetti gangster. The latter tried to run towards his motorcycle. He mnanaged to get on and attempt to drive away. But as he was driving towards the exit, the Leone mafiosi managed to go around and cut him off, slamming his baseball bat on his face. Although the Vercetti gangster was dead before he hit the gorund, the Leone amfiosi continued to smash his head into a pulp for killing many of his friends.
Expert's Opinion[]
The Leone Crime Family won because they have the better submachine gun, melee weapon, and experience.

Battle vs. Leone Crime Family (by Facetheslayer)[]
Vercetti Gang: 5
Leone Mafia: 5
The simulation starts at the Vercetti Estate, in Vice City, as Tommy, and four of his gang members are outside, repairing a silver 1986 Admiral, which is their gang car, as "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson played in the background. There are two men in front of the car, one weilding an Uzi, the other a Colt Python. Tommy and a henchman was behind the car, as another henchman was next to the house, weilding an Uzi.
Meanwhile, a jet black 1998 Sentinel, that was playing some Pavoratti was driving up the lane, as Toni Cipriani was sneaking behind it, wearing armor, and weilding an Ithaca Model 37. The car started to speed up, as the driver, and the passenger behind him, started to spray fire, killing the Vercetti Gang member with the Uzi in front of the car. (4-5).
Toni came out and then yelled at his opponents... "Vercetti! I'm putting you... Your friends... Your friend's friends... all under the sword." The gang started to spread out and run for guns, as Tommy yelled back at his advarsary... "You're dead! All of you, dead!" Tommy and the other unarmed gang member go inside the estate, while the other gang members started to cover each side of the house. The Leone Sentinel was emptied, showing two Tec-9 weilding mobsters, and two with M16's. Toni opened the trunk, and grabbed a baseball bat he was hiding in there, and went for the right hand side of the house, while a Tec-9 and an M16 weilding mobster took the left, as the other two stormed the house.
Following Toni, he was pursuing the Colt Python weilder. He turned around and shot Toni in the chest with his Colt Python knocking him down near the corner of the house. The Gang member went to the body to make sure he was dead, when Toni sprang to life, and blasted him in the belly with his Ithaca 37. (3-5)
"Gotta use your head, buddy." Toni said as he was getting to his feet, as he hid the bat close to the side of the mansion. Meanwhile, on the other side of the house, a member of the Vercetti Gang, with an Uzi is being pursued by two Leone members. He turns the corner, and tossed back an RGD5, which detonated right next to the one, who was weilding the Tec-9, (3-4)however, the blast did not harm the one weilding the M16. The Vercetti Gang member, tried to make a stand, however, the M16 out preformed his Uzi completely, as he was shot in the heart by the Leone soldier. (2-4)
Inside the House, Tommy and his henchman went into the top room, and gathered their weapons. Tommy gave an M60 to his henchman, and taken an Uzi for himself. They both exited, as two members of the Leone Mafia started to storm the house. The M60 weilder kept his boss under cover, as one of the Tec-9 weilders tried to run up the stairs, however, he was ripped apart with M60 fire. (2-3) The M16 user stood back, and tried to pick his shots, as the M60 was doing a spraying pattern. He managed to lay a dangerously close blow, going through the left shoulder of the Vercetti Gangster, however, he taken three shots from the M60, and died promptly. (2-2)
The M60 weilder walked outside, clutching his shoulder, as Toni was outside, watching his men at work, when he saw the Vercetti Gangster out with his M60, instantly knowing that they had taken out his gang, who went inside. The Gangster barely held up his weapon, and fired a few rounds, however, his weapon jammed. Toni returned fire once, but realized he was out of shells. The Gangster entered his vehicle, and tried to run over Toni, however, Toni dropped an M67, and started to run away. As the vehicle was heading towards him, the M67 detonated, right on the back axle, hitting the gas tank, and completely obliterating the car. (1-2). Toni Managed to survive the ordeal. He went over to his bat, and headed out to the backyard.
Meanwhile, Tommy was exiting from the back door, where he saw the M16 weilder, and killed him with a quick draw from his Uzi, sending four bullets into him. (1-1) The boss then fired six rounds into the enemy corpse, before saying... "No one from up North owns me..."
As Tommy walked out, Toni was sneaking up weilding his bat. Tommy tried to fire his Uzi, however, Toni knocked it out of his hand with the bat. Toni tried a homerun swing, however, Tommy ducked, and started to run away. Toni chased after him with the bat, as they ran from the backyard, to the left hand side of the estate, and back to the front yard, where Tommy saw the fallen member of his gang, who had the Colt Python. Tommy used his home for cover, and reached inside his shirt, where he was hiding a small meat cleaver. He held it, and waited for Cipriani to approach. Toni crept along the side of the house, anticipating an ambush, however, Tommy was patient, and waited until he saw Toni's wrists, as he did one powerful chop, lopping off both of Toni's hands, that were clutching the bat, still.
Toni kneeled over, in pain, and held up his severed wrists, as Tommy walked to his fallen comrade, and picked up his Colt Python, before kicking Toni down on his back. "Say Good Night..." Tommy fired a round into the brain of Cipriani, as WASTED appeared over Toni's corpse. (1-0)Tommy pointed his Colt Python into the sky and yelled out "THIS IS MY TOWN!!!!"
Winner: Vercetti Gang.
Expert's Opinion[]
While the Leone Mafia was powerful, in their own right, the fact that the Vercetti Gang was just more vicious, and just simply the better criminal empire. The Gun-running empire that Tommy had built, also played a big role, in his arsenal.
