Corvo Vs. Connor

Tomahawk- His primary weapon. Used in close combat and abrupt deaths, might I add. Usually dual wielded with his hidden blade.Notice that in a lot of these cases he only dual weilds as two repeated strikes, that are at close to the same speed Corvo attacks twice. Swords- These have been in AC since the beginning, and because of this, sword wielding is in Connors genes. The downfall, they can be disarmed, but Connor, carrying multiple weapons, could easily pull out his tomahawk or hidden blades and continue battle in only a breath. Corvo's knife also may look more bad-A than anything Connor has, but Connor has superior fighting capabilities with bladed weapons, sword and knife alike.As I said earlier, Corvo could dodge blows just like Connor. Plus, if Connor had to pull out a new weapon he's be dead. Corvo could blink up to him (covering all ground between them) and slit Connor's thoat before the weapon was drawn. Pistol and bow- Connor can carry two pistols if he wished, although he would only need one. Both pistols carried can have multiple barrels, therefore defeating the purpose of reloading. Besides, Connor is a good shot, I doubt he would need to reload until after his enemy is defeated. His bow is carried with him at all times. Connor can draw an arrow and shoot it faster than Corvo could reload his crossbow and fire. Corvo can switch to a pistol immediately after shooting his crossbow, and Corvo can keep his sword out and shoot/reload with one hand. Connor is a good shot with a gun... because the guns were modified for the game. In real life those pistols could hardly shoot a barrel sitting a few meters away, even with an expert marksman looking down the sights. I will let you keep the acurate guns though, because this is game only, not real life. Trip-mines/traps- As Corvo can do, Connor can set these wherever he pleases and wait for an unsuspecting enemy to step in. Corvo has no need to just walk/run when he can blink. The only time he would walk or run was if he was so close to Connor a trip mine explosion would kill both of them. And while the springrazor can be thrown instantly, a trap must be set up. ROPE DARTS- Probably the second most bada$$ weapon in AC history. Connor is able to hang enemies from trees, hide in bushes, rope someone in, and assassinate them, and finally, Connor can use these rope darts to his advantage in a battle, by roping an enemy and forcing him down to the ground and them tomahawking that enemy to death. ^( ) (this video does contain foul language)This is much like a gun, only more visible and with less range than a bow. The rope dart must be thrown with a full arm motion, whereas the gun is just the pull of a trigger. And yet you expect more success with this? For the matter of killcams, I cannot argue that as it is true, many of these special kills are repeated as my opponent stated. As for air attacks, Connor can do that as well. He can even kill two enemies at once when jumping from a building into an unsuspecting crowd of enemies.Too bad there is only one Corvo, and in a 1 on 1 street battle I wouldn't call him unsuspecting. You also forget that blinking is faster than parkour, and Corvo would see Connor climbing and blink onto the roof before Connor even got there. Powers, Connor has no magical incantations he can perform. In his defense, he roamed Boston and New York when rats were quite prevalent, (even though they don't show often in the game) historically speaking Connor would presumably not be scared of a few infested rats. You forget this is a bloodthirsty swarm, not just a few. Getting away from ground level is pretty much the only way to escape them. I do believe Connor would dodge the wind blast for his reaction is superior as well.If Connor can get out of Corvo's range of vision, he can dodge it. If not, he will at least be stunned and thrown backwards. This could break bones if Connor was in front of a wall.If Corvo were to blink behind Connor, surely he would block any physical attack made, (by that time Corvo's magical ability would be mostly depleted if all of the assessed magical abilities were used at that time) because one of Connors counters is behind his back. ^( ) @ about 0:47 this is shown. This is controversial. AC3 is a thrid person game, and the player can see behind Connor and make him parry behind himself. Blinking is the least draining ability, and Connor cannot actually see behind himself. He may here enemy footsteps, but blinking doesn't make noise. As for the possession thing, well if he were to possess a rat to commit suicide, Corvo would then leave himself vulnerable after possessing the rat. Connor could easily dodge a suicidal rat for his running speed is superior to Corvo's. Where Corvo could use blink, Connor would still outrun, out-climb, and out-maneuver Corvo. I would assume Corvo depends on his Blink ability a little too much, which is a weakness Connor would presumably notice. Corvo does rely on blinking a lot, but he is also older and thus less athletic than Connor. The possesion can also be used against Connor, and (this is cheap so i wont count it) but Corvo could slow time and make Connor shoot himself (last kill in the video) What good does it to be seen through walls? The wall is in your way and the only way to get to Connor wold be to sneak around or over that wall, and well that would make some noise and Connor is surely going to notice even if he can't see Corvo. Not if Corvo is far enough away to not be heard but still be able to blink.Also, in an open battle, Connor has smoke bombs, and I'm sure both characters could see through this thick smoke, but Corvo would not realize right away where Connor would be after throwing this smoke bomb, giving Connor a slight edge. Accept Connor can't tell if Corvo moves in the smoke. Corvo could blink out soundlessly while Connor runs in, and Corvo could use his dark vision to see Connor and shoot him with a crossbow bolt. Connor is obviously the superior warrior, because he IS a warrior, and his past screams assassin. He screams warrior though. Corvo could use his powers to get just far enogh away that this becomes a stealthy, jump-out-and-kill battle. Even if his best subject is fighting over assassinating, Connor has a well developed system of fighting. When taking on one enemy, Connor can easily assassinate with a rope dart or hidden blades, shoot with his pistols, or easily kill with a simple counterattack. In a group situation Connor can easily pick off a few, run to hide or climb a building, and then pick off the enemies one by one using trip-mines, his bow or by simply assassinating them with his hidden blades. He does not need magical abilities to defeat his enemy. Although if he had magical abilities, he wouldn't need to depend on them to defeat his enemies, and would be smart enough to conservatively use all his fighting techniques.All I will say is that Connor faces poorer enemies than Corvo. If you watch starting about 1:16 of the first vid in Con's last argument, the opponent behind him stands there until his friend is dead. Corvo's enemies will all swing at once, and i know from playing the game that at some moments it is impossible to attack someone in the drawback stage of a sword lunge without getting hit by someone already mid-swing. Corvo also has to face enemies with a teleportation method similar to blinking. Good luck to my opponent! Good luck to you too...Connor is gonna need it! http://www.youtube.com...
