It is Friday, and you know what that means. Fantasy Fight Friday time. What is Fantasy Fight Friday you ask? It’s simple, we pit two video game characters against each other, and you the reader chooses the winner. Sounds simple? Because it is.
This whole thing comes down to you the readers to decide who would win if these two characters ever met up in. We give you some basic stats and abilities of the two, but leave the decision up to you.
Enough wasting your time with that, let’s get right into shall we. These week we have relatives of each other, who are very good at assassinating people.
