If you were to miss with the bat you would be fucked. 5 stabs in the throat, ggnore.
Thus, the bat is ineffective at short range.

Therefor I would rather take the butterfly and wait for the batterguy to make his move.
How can you thrust anyone that bleeds one week in the month without dying?

Once again, there is more than one way to attack with a baseball bat. You don't have to swing it like you're hitting a baseball. It's a far more versatile tool than that. You can poke/jab with it right to the other guys face, kinda like a spear stab.

for the knife to be used to its full potential the person has to have some kind of training, the bat does not, any retard can swing, its just about keeping distance, and you dont only have the bat, kicking is also a good way for keeping distance


True. Using the knife effectively is not easy. Anyone used a bat before to hit something. I don't know if the same goes for knife...

How many of you used a bat before to hit something and how many of you used a knife to stab something? The guy with the knife would hesitate to rush with an all-in forward move against the guy that swings the bat.

The guy with the bat doesn't need precision. He'll just hit in a general area, starting from knees, up to the head. The blow is circular; if it's in range, it will not miss.

The guy with the knife can not go for the head or hands because they are too fast moving targets. It will go for the torso. But to get in range, he needs to avoid the bat swing. And as I said, the determined bat swing has very high changes of sucess.

Any serious fight has an very important emotional part. The system is full of adrenaline. A full bat swing is like a discharge of anger. Hit like a train whatever mother fucker it is in front of you!
The guy with the knife must control he's anger to get in range without being hit. And control is hard to achieve of you are not trained in fighting. When you are angry and full of adrenaline, there is no room for logical thoughts, reason. You won't even see the bat coming. It will smash you like a potato.

You talking to me? You talking to me? You talking to me? Then who the hell else are you talking to? You talking to me? Well, I am the only one here. Who do the fuck do you think you are talking to? Oh, yeah? Ok.

There are a lot of misconceptions in this thread

1) People assume a knife stab is lethal no matter where on the body you hit.
2) People assume the bat man knows exactly when the knife man is going to attack for real.
3) People assume they can take a bat blow anywhere on the body without staggering the least.
4) People assume the bat man can swing the bat five times a second at full speed without losing balance for as much as a nanosecond.
5) People assume too much about an average guy.

I would personally go for the knife, and keep my distance until the bat man loses his precious balance a short second while he misjudged a swing.

In a real fight, if you have no training, you'll never get the counter timming right. Timming is the most hard thing to achieve. You can train your strength, execution... But you'll get the timming right, only after alot of training. The bat guy doesn't need timming. The knife guy does. We are talking here about 0.2 / 0.3 seconds timing.

When i was kid, me and my best friend had a argument whether a sap or a knife was a better weapon. Since we didn't have the internet to help us, we decided to settle it using substitute weapons. I got a piece of cheap plywood about 12 inches long, he got a long sock weighted with batteries.

So we square off, sizing each other up. The sock/battery has a longer range, but to do damage it needs to be moving. So i decide to I ducked just inside his swinging range, he swung, i ducked back, then stepped back in, putting my right arm over his neck and shoulder, and drove the plywood into his stomach - where it shattered.

I look back at this and wonder - wtf was i thinking?

btw - i didn't win the argument, he said all it proved is i was better with a weapon.
Suppose I don't know taste of common salt & I want to know it.

didn't read any arguments
but I say the knife, definitely



with the bat you get one swing. if you swing too hard and put too much behind it, it wouldn't be that hard to dodge it or at least block it well(which isn't going to even break the arms of the most guys).

the knife, however, is deadly in close combat, which is where this fight is going to quickly go.

not to mention that if one of them is good at it, they can throw the knife.

id take knife

you need to swing bat really hard at head to fracture skull = kill
or swing hard at ribs to break ribs = kill
or swing hard at legs and break legs = no mobility and then kill

but knife

stab into the sides of the body, neck, thigh and then twist knife when inside wound = gg no re bleeding

just block his bat swing and break your forearm and then counter stab, he wont be able to retract bat and swing again.


yea w/e rigged toss LOLZ

yea k then i'll like

just block his knife stab and then bleed from my forearm and then counter swing, then he wont be able to stab again.


yes but joo need two hands on bat to swing it hard.

unless you stick the bat up ur ass and do a beyonce ass wiggle and crack pavement... then... no.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

ok guys... just imagine this.

the US government for some reason (not at all completely unlikely) made a clone of you.

he (or she... for the female forumers) is an exact copy of you because this time the scientists didnt fuck up and make a retard clone.

you two are going to fight to the death.

would you honestly choose a long piece of blunt wood instead of a sharp piece of metal.

would you honestly want to go 1v1 all in fight club shit vs yourself with a bat, knowing that if you miss, that knife from your clone is going straight into your body somewhere.


i sure as hell dont.

knife for the mother fucking win.
