Weapon specialist of the Ming cult vs. unusual weapon users

[druid]

Yang Xiao and Fan Yao were pretty good in weapons, as commented by ZWJ (on FY and FY on YX)… so if they were to face off with three of the four playfellows of Jiangnan from XAJH (lest the one with the sword)… which side would win?

On a side note, which weapons do you think the left and right guards of the Ming cult would use in such a duel?

[Ian Liew]

None of the four fellows of Jiangnan used a sword.. it was zither, chess, book and brush. The sword guy was their butler or something. Of the four probably only Huang Zhonggong could give any serious challenge to Yang Xiao and Fan Yao, by giving them fire deviation with his music. I'd still give the two heralds the advantage, though.

Actually number four did use a sword. He once stated that he traded some uber sword moves to a Central Asian swordmaster for some fine wine (he loved wine first, painting second, and sword third).
