guy with the bat should easily win. He just has to not be foolish and make a huge swing and miss.

very important detail being left out is where the fight will be taking place and how much space the fighers have. W

i think it depends on how good both people are.

if they're both tough enough to be willing to take a hit and do some quick moves i think the knife guy would win. i think that's not asking too much of average people

if it's a noob game though, the knife guy would piss his pants and just run cuz he doesn't want to get hurt

hmm... i think the knife would win...

the bat would be too slow unless the guy's prepared in a batter's ready stance (or too weak if he tries to jab with it or just swing it back and forth or something).

so assume batter's stance. if batman's right handed then his left shoulder will be facing forwards.

the knife guy knows which way the bat would be coming from. knife guy could lunge in and stab around the back, or back of neck with his right hand, possibly having to block with his left arm (and having it broken or something), but then it'd be gg


but maybe in mid lunge the bat would've knocked the brains out of the lunging small knife guy already ;O!!!

i think there are just too many factors to take into consideration and the scenario needs to be more specific in general

he just said they have equal skill.. u're just saying the knife guy's faster than the bat guy and can dodge him better, wtf o.O


even if they have equal skill, the knife guy will be relatively faster, cuz the bat is heavier and needs more commitment to an attack than the knife.


lets assume a normal person can do 20 push-ups :op


well in order for batman to knock knife guy's skull out or whatever, he's gonna have to do a huge swing. otherwise knife guy can just take the pussy hit and start stabbing.

No I didn't. I said that it takes longer to use the bat efficently. It's almost impossible to dodge a butterfly in melee so it doesn't matter much, it's a much faster weapon. Furthermore while the bat has range you need a good swing to transmit power efficently so you can't move around as much because that leaves you open. The knife will be on the offensive jumping back and forth and probing for a weakness, the bat needs to be lined up to get 1 good shot in before the knife guy closes. Since getting such a hit is hard for a normal person I'm with the guy who has the knife.
If both were perfect it would be no contest because whoever hits first wins in such a situation, but they aren't.

If the knife guy tries to attack, he loses. The bat guy should have absolutely no problem smashing a guy with the same physical specs as himself.

who cares if the knife guy is faster, he can just jump around like a monkey and tire himself out while the bat guy just leans on the basketball pole and swings at him to make him back away, lOl

if you think of the bat as a sword instead

then you tell me how the hell in the world the guy with the butterfly knife is going to get first hit?

Knife > bat.

YOu can take 1 bat swing, you can't take one knife stab. Plus as soon as the knife guy closes to the 1 ft distance the bat is ineffective. (imagine trying to hit someone with a bat that is right up against you, you can't get a good hit).

I have knife, I try to bait him into swinging. Once he swings I jump in and stabb him and take his weak ass off balance arms in wrong position swing.

Alternatively if I can't get him to swing I jump in, put up my left arm to take his bat swing while I stabb him in the belly with my right arm.

My left arm breaks, and I crawl away while he bleeds out and dies

the knife guy just has to take (possibly breaking left arm) or dodge (back or by getting in close) one shot ... then once he gets in close it's over.

knife ftw.

woot, nice.

i figure most knife guys could get in range without taking a really hard hit anyway. if batman doesn't swing early... get in really quick towards batman's back where the swing would be weaker and start knifing.
