Wow, I had the GOTG #1 issue way back in the day. brings back memories. IIRC, Yonda comes from a warrior tribe. I'm not up to date with Hawkeye, but I've been reading he's got major hand-to-hand skills (is it still Clint?). Born to battle v. trained to battle. I'm not sure if Yondu has a strength advantage so, for lack of a better guess, 50/50 split on the melee scenerio, bugs and all.

If I recall correctly Yondu's race are stronger than humans, Hawkeye has good h2h skills but is inferior to Bucky for example. Now HE carries a sword and Yondu always have knives.
OK, thanks for the info. I have to give the melee majority to Yondu, not only because of the higher strength level, but mostly because of the sword v. knives in a dense forested fighting area. This kind of setting would favor a short, but quick stroke to a long, swooping, but more powerful stroke.
