This is a fight that I've wanted to see for as long as I've been reading their respective books. They are very likely my two all-time favorite comic book characters, and I'd love to see them team up sometime.
However, many of the best team ups involve a fight, often based off of a misunderstanding. Naturally, these two heroes would have to brawl at some point. Who would win?
1. Hand to hand only. Both are expert hand to hand fighters, capable of defeating large groups of people at once.
2. Standard equipment; neutral environment with cover. There are places for Usagi to shield himself from gunfire, and places where either combatant could launch a stealthy ambush. Neither character knows the environment beforehand.
3. Standard equipment; 1930s New York. The Lobster's home turf. For this scenario, no bystanders will interfere, although there will still be traffic, etc.
4. Standard equipment; 1600s Japan, in Lord Noriyuki's castle. The castle is entirely deserted so that no one will interfere.
5. They each have a week of prep time, and know the environment beforehand (the environment is neutral and neither knows it better than the other). They are allowed to use others to help them prepare, but others cannot help them fight.
6. They sit and talk. What would they say? What would they talk about?
Each fight is under the circumstances that both characters think the other is trying to kill them and neither will hold back. Also, the fighters start in positions where Lobster can't just simply shoot Usagi as soon as it begins.
I considered the idea of a sword/bladed weapons fight, but, while the Lobster is a skilled sword fighter, he doesn't have enough feats to match Usagi.
Discuss!
