Poll: Which Assassin Would Win?

[OneNooneKnows]

Voting on Altair, despite his issues with water.

More skill, he invented a lot of the things Ezio use to gimp things, like armor and double-blades. -And- the gun.

And such silly things as emotions getting is his way is unheard of.

Altair ftw. Always.

I get the feeling that Altair's story has never been finished. Apart from the acts in Assassin's Creed his full exploits have been a mystery. All we know is he's really, really important, especially to Ezio. I'd go with Altair, just because he has a more badass name.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I have two kittens, that are brothers, called Ezio and Altair, Altair usually wins because he is bigger. I don't know if that helps

 

[Blunderboy]

Altaïr - Simply because if Ezio kills him, it creates a massive space time paradox and everything goes all Back to the Future on his Italian arse.

 

[HooterNanny]

From a purely gaemplay perspective, I would pick altair, becaue, by the time I finished Brotehrhood, i was just getting my assassins to doa all my work, o rusing ranged weapons like the crossbow, whereas, going back and playing thae first game, i found that my sword fighting were a lot more important, so altair, seemed more skilled.

Anyway, it depends what the field was, say, a city, where they were hunting each other, a la brotherhood multiplayer, or a straight up sword fight.

On a different note, where's Desmond?

Dammit, I just came off those two pony threads in Off-Topic forums now I can't stop thinking about MLP
Well, you know what they say, when in Rome decide with ponies:

Spoiler: I don't know how to make the picture smaller

Ezio wins

Agent 47 would strangle them both to death in their sleep [/just finished Bloodmoney]

Ninja'd. Although I'm playing Silent Assassin.

 

[Hamish Durie]

well since this is a game and when some1 in a game goes away for awhile and no word is heard he then comes back as a badass so i think altair would win

 

[Jodah]

Ezio because he has better gear. Even if you discount the gun his equivalent tools (hidden blade, sword, dagger, etc) are better made in reality. Gameplay wise Altair's blade is the best in both games but in reality Ezio's weapons would be better.

 

[SamuelT]

Honestly; where Ezio was more humane and merciful, Altaïr was just plain ruthless. Ezio had lots of dramatic moves; being a romanticus and having a flair for the extravagant. He didn't HAVE to twirl his sword, or stab the guy fifteen times in the head. It's all to make him look good and strong, where Altaïr just went for the jugular, or stabbed the guy in the chest and turned the blade once, so everyting inside'd be all screwed up.

Altaïr'd win, because he simply kills. Of course, this is when both are given a same sword or just go hand-to-hand.

 

[kittii-chan 300]

i don t know about those two but the anonymous playing character in ultimate assassin 2 would win because people die when he waks past them...

 

[Ironsouled]

Everyone seems to be forgetting that all Ezio would have to do is jump in the nearest fountain and then Altair would be dead.

That and the better weapons, armor, healthier time period... Even barring the gun.

 

[JemothSkarii]

TRAVIS TOUCHDOWN!

*Moderator clears throat behind him*

I mean, well...Altair; Master Assassin, invented everything, and trained since childhood. Everything I could say has been said. Definitely Altair.

 

[DigitalAtlas]

Geralt the Witcher.

Seriously, are we all nine years old?

 

[Jakub324]

Can Ezio use his gun? If not, Altair, because he's been an assassin for years.

 

[Terrara]

Altair would win because he is more professional. Well, as long as they don't fight near waterways at least.

 

[A Shadows Age]

Ezio... While Altair was the "original master assassin" fighting styles throughout history have constantly evolved.

"Why?" I hear you cry... well thats easy... to be better than the ones that came before.

Think about it, who would win, someone who came up with a load of cool fighting ideas, OR someone who learned all said fighting ideas AND came up with some new ones?

Right, so Altair.

 

[Zergadooful]

I think the battle would go in Altair's favor at first, but then Ezio would push him into some water and win.

 

[radioactive lemur]

Ezio, by Metacritic decree.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Well Ezio has a gun... and poison... and a crossbow... and dual hidden blades... and he can actually DEFEND himself with his hidden blades... and he came a few hundred years later, so his swords and armor would be of better quality soooooo... yeah, Ezio....

But in AC2 pretty much every awesome thing that Ezio had was found in the Codex, written by Altair. Hell, the best armor and weapon that could be found was Altair's thousand year old armor and sword. Everything Ezio uses is dependent on Altair's designs and Da Vinci's improvements: The double blade, the gun, the poison addition.

All Ezio has on top of Altair is a poison dart, a crossbow and the metal cestus used to jump higher. The last is only good for blocking, the former two take too much time to charge and would end with Ezio dead by the time he had aimed it right.

Altair, every time.
