I will bring skill into this, Slade is at a disadvantage in it, he's fighting someone with not only IR, but massive skill scaling chains that go past a mere "70 years" we're talking someone here who ended numerous winstreaks, and became the champion in numerous characters, in the last thread, it did seem a more general agreement that they were even, so logically here, Jericho should far outstrip here. the weapons don't come into play as Jericho can likely disarm them by that such, he also can bring it to the grapples were the range won't really matter, as for wearing him down as per my Tsusaku argument earlier, at least this time, we have settled arguments for Jericho overcoming weapons, he's done it several times, and the bleeding out won't be an issue with code breaker
In addition, a weapon isn't an automatic wincon, yes it gives Slade more range, but that's it. it's not a durability negation, it doesn't hit harder than Slade's normal AP. it essentially is his normal AP rather than punching
