Time to Vote! Alright...... hmm. Well for me, gonna have to go with Regda. And here's my reason as to why.

Let's just get this out of the way. Revan's current arsenal (sword and knives) are not going to have any affect on .45 cal pistols. So I'm assuming these guys are fighting with their current weapons right? Right. So, let's move on.

Revan's melee weapon gives him one huge advantage, and that is reach. The longer his weapon is, the longer the reach. But bear in mind people, Revan needs to be able to reach Regda first. He does, after all, have to deal with those bloody .45 ACP rounds. Which is another thing to factor in. Revan's semblance gave him a huge advantage to move up to this round because his semblance can absorb Dust energy. But Regda's pistols.... the only thing that is Dust related is the Impact Dust that propells the bullets. Other than that, it's all kinetic energy. This ALONE will give him one huge disadvantage. And before anyone says anything, yes, Revan's semblance will "absord" the energy from Dust weapons. But the only thing that'll have Dust on Regda, will be the chambers of Bonnie and Medea. That's it! The bullets themselves do not have "Dust" anyone once they leave that chamber. It's all kinetic energy and Newton's Law in that bullet. No Dust absorbing semblance can save you from that. Lol. Also, I've seen many OC triumph because they can simply block or evade range weapons. There is no denying that my friends. But then you have to remember that Regda's weapons fire 3 bullets at once. That's a pain to evade, no matter who you are. Hell, even Spiderman has trouble. But moving on....

Regda's semblance, however, is just a "steroid" booster. Nothing unique, but it's the simplicity that gives it an edge. It's all about the weilder, and nothing else. Also, Revan's semblance, though it can't be used to absorb Regda's attacks, it can absorb his own attacks. Meaning Revan can simply blast Dust into his own "cloud". The problem though is that it drains his stamina upon multiple uses. And as we all know honey badgers, their stamina is.... well, let's just say they're stubborn SOBs.

Revan's training with Five-to-One does give him a huge advantage in a melee brawl. Skill and discipline and combined that with his melee weapon allows him to defeat any mook that gets in his way. They style and how he uses it will vary but the results speak for themselves. This technique, combined with his "alter ego" will throw off many people and is hard to follow. But yet again, being grown up in the streets, you either adapt and survive or you die. The Mob (yes whether in Fanon or not) must always be quick and adapt to everything that happens around them. One small foul up and you and your "boys" will be sleeping with the fishes. Also, as for training, Regda, being in a mob, has encountered trained professionals before. Another thing to also point out, street fighting is WAY more different than traditional. You use anything and everything to win: every dirty trick, every hidden ace, unconventional tactics. You see where I'm going with this.

But something that's very important to also point out, and a question that can make or break a fight: who can last longer? In both their description, they have armor (yes Regda has armor) so no easy kill for either. But then, and this is what probably won Regda the round during his first "fight", his stubborn honey badger nature. He's not going to wear down as easily as most of the other fighter. A few Dust based attacks? He'll just come at you. Then, he also has his semblance, so that's another boost in the fight.

Final verdict: Regda. Don't get me wrong, and I will repeat this with every single review of the fight. I like em both. This tourney has enlightened me to so many types of characters, background, and fighting styles. They all kick ass so much. So though Regda takes this round, I still like Revan and by no means does this affect my view of either characters or their creators. Who knows, maybe they'll both work together one day. Anyways, may the best/faved OC win. With that said; Nappa, out. o7
