Talk:Fang vs. Ike/@comment-26558142-20160510080153

Hey, another user uses a Fairy Fencer character! (I like that game, so no offense)

My prediction on this fight:

While being pretty close I give this one to Fang. Strength and Endurance wise I would say they are equal, being able to take hits from gods, dragons and so on while being able to hurt those beings at the same time. Both can dogde lightning, so I won't give this point to a fighter, too.

What makes the difference however is their weaponry. While Ragnell is strong and being able to attack from a distance, Fangs weapon can take up to 5 different forms (including a launcher). I also give Fang the edge in range. While its true, that Ragnell can be used to attack from a distance, it range in the games is limited to two squares. That is the same attack range for a spear. I may interpret too much of gameplay mechanic into this point, but that means, that Ragnells attack range is around 2-3 meters (didn't look up the size of a standard spear, so that is just a guess). In Fangs case however you can increase his attack distance up to 10meters (out of memory, not 100% certain), giving him the edge in range.

And last but not least, Fang has a wider variety of skills and magic. Ikes attack are more for a close quarter combat (mostly), but Fangs techniques can be used from distance and in close quarter combat. Also, if I remeber correctly, Ikes weakness is magic (two good hits with magic could take him out in my playthrough). Together with Fairize and Force Impact as trump card thats more than Ike can handle in my opinion. And while Fang is an idiot and not as trained as his opponent, he has shown to be able to hold himself against such foes before (first fight against the guard, the fight against Appolonius and other high ranking fencers).

Well, I'm interested to see, what you think about this fight.
