World's Greatest Detective vs Commander of the 300

[Jackythejack]

Sherlock Holmes from BBC vs King Leonidas. Sherlock is given, lets say, a sword for a good ol' fashioned duel while Leonidas is given A sword to counter the sword. Speed is equalized. Who wins and why.

Nice

But Sherlock takes it. Better training for this fight considering he's got much more modern techniques, gun beats Leonidas with range and Sherlock is more intelligent

 

[Jackythejack]

Damn, alright. I was hoping it'd be closer. Should I remove the gun or is this good the way it is?

Bare in mind flintlocks are innacurate and difficult to reload with, as well as far less lethal iir, so it's not too much of an advantage but one nonetheless

 

[TheArsenal1212]

Yeah those guns are wild. The issue is that Sherlock is really, really good with one

The gun would probably give Leo an unfair edge

 

[Jackythejack]

The gun gives Leo an unfair advantage?

So...remove it or no? Sorry confused

 

[TheArsenal1212]

Sorry, REMOVING the gun gives Leo and unfair advantage. Then he just pokes Sherlock to death hahaha

 

[Jackythejack]

Ah okay there we go.

What if I give both a sword-

 

[TheArsenal1212]

Yeah actually that could work. If memory serves, Sherlock has practise with one

 

[Jackythejack]

Changed it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Spartan Training metal as ****? Because, Leo might actually take skill here if half the things I've heard about it are true.

 

[Jackythejack]

I mean if a single spartan was shown to be weak sickly or incapable they would be sent off to the wilderness to fend for themselves until they'd likely die.

So pretty Metal. They threw babies over cliffs if they weren't in perfect health.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Spartan Training metal as ****? Because, Leo might actually take skill here if half the things I've heard about it are true.

It's different training though. Wilderness survival training and military tactics from one era is different and assumedly worse than modern one on one training Sherlock has

 

[BigSmoke4269]

Sherlock's trained with guns, though. Saying "Sherlock's tactics are better because they're modern" is kind of bullshit considering that modern military tactics nowadays mainly use guns which Sherlock doesn't have.
