Can Wazu attack Renegade while he's being dunked? If so, this one's over immediately - call for the dunk, stab the jugular with the shiv.

No, the match is stopped during the dunking.

Close one. Renegade had more devastating weapon, but Wazu has reach and best up close weapon. Add in the special factor and Wazu takes it.

**wazu** · 08-21-2018, 01:41 PM

This is going to sound very Napoleon Dynamite, but I actually have decently extensive martial arts training with a bo staff. I won’t need the dunking, he’ll be unconscious in 2 seconds.

I will need to see a video of your martial arts training, sir.

I mean I whuped some ass with Donatello on the ol' TMNT game so I'm pretty sure I know how to judge bo staff skills.

This was Ryukyu Kempo karate. Each belt progression had as part of it’s requirements a particular weapon. I used to practice the kata in my back yard all the time. Thankfully it was never recorded on video or I’d have probably wound up with a story similar to that of “Star Wars Kid”.

I do still own the staff. It’s been sitting in my garage just waiting for this day.

What happens if he can't hold his breath for 40 seconds?

If your life depends on it, you can do anything for a minute.

Sure....just realize that as soon as you pull your head out of that water....a shank is going in your neck.

Not true. My head goes under water at t-1 minute. I will have 20 seconds. Don't underestimated the power of the salt to Wazu's eyes

Then the match would end without bloodshed, but with a clear winner.
