Original Walter von Schönkopf vs Toshiro Kuroda (Re : Born 2016)

Post by Karha of Honor »

To the death, empty WWE arena. Starting 40 meters from one another. Both using their most commonly used weapons, no ranged weapons.

Haven't watched Re:Born, so don't know the later's abilities, but Schönkopf wins for two reasons:

1.) He fights in what is essentially full plate armor with a long sword, against a guy with a hook-knife, so he has the advantage of reach, armor and the asian guy using an impractical weapon.
2.) Schönkopf looks like TOEI's Captain Future (seriously, who designed Schönkopf, the similarities are too obvious) and Captain Future is awesome.

I did not think of the armor, but Kuroda still has a good to decent chance.

Correction: Schönkopf uses a battleaxe, the boarding weapon of choice in the Galactic Heroes universe.
I'd put my money on him, as I have no idea who the other guy is.
