Just got bored and went for a metaphor 😛
Right, well speed should be a moot point for starters. All characters have bullet dodging feats though I doubt the Turtles have feats on the MGS rail gun level, which Raigen was able to just barely react to. So yeah, about even.
Skills is a tricky one. The turtles are well trained in the classic martial arts mixed with ninja acrobatics, while the Snakes skill have been used to take down enemies much more powerful than themselves, including fast enemies with bladed weapons. And as we all know, flashy skills means little in being practical. Personally giving the skill to the Turtles. Not in some Master vs street thug way, but likely a notable difference.
Strength is the same as speed afaik, besides Solidus being physically the strongest guy here by a lot. Not sure if Solid has used brute strength on Metal Gears or not..
I know Splinter goes on about a weapon only being as good as the wielder, but in a situation when the skills this close, a blade is going to hurt more than a staff. Every Snake has a fang, when two Turtles (unless counting the new cartoon) have blunt, wooden weapons. Many hits to K.O or kill vs being stabbed and cut.
TL;DR.. I'd say skill goes slightly in the Turtles favour, while strength and weapons go slightly in the Snakes.
