Judgements

Verlux wins.  This was a very, very close match.  On Stalin's side I agree with him that the plasmacaster can do a lot of damage against Jason, and that Jason isn't especially fast, however I think Verlux convincingly argued that Jason can teleport and that Predator is more likely to go for a melee fight than a snipe off. Stalin didn't really focus/counter any of Verlux's melee arguments so he eeks out the win there.  If it does even up being a ranged match, Verlux's regen argument was sufficiently convincing to make me believe Jason could survive a brief encounter, and make up the range, especially considering how slow the Predator is at shooting.
