The guerrilla fighter squares off against the war vet in Mercy Hospital. Bill Sr. starts off on the roof with an assault rifle, two pistols and a molotov. Bill the younger starts on the ground floor with a Spread Gun, Rapid Fire power-up, and grenade. Which soldier will come out the victor?

Old bill, by way of having an actual voice actor. also, being old and crotchety. no expression Which means experience.

FinalAnswer
Old Bill was a Green Beret was he not?

Obviously one-sided. Contra fighters are far better than Left 4 Dead characters as they fight much dangerous threats and have superior weapons.

FinalAnswer
But what SKILLZ does Contra Bill have?

Kazenji
Stopping alien invasions.

this requires you to prove your stance, boyo. For example:
Why are Contra's enemies more dangerous?
Why are their weapons better?
Why do you ignore other Bill's experience edge?

More experienced = probably shooting the other dude first = winning.

Bill has a machine gun, a laser gun, a flamethrower, shotgun (spreadgun), a rocket launcher, homing missiles, room-clearing bombs, and force fields (all from Contra 3).

In his games, he has fought armed soldiers, mounted turrets, fireball spitting bugs, robots, a tank, and alien hordes among other foes. Here are some of the bosses he has faced (WARNING: The players in these vids make things looks so damn easy):

5:33 Horde of face-hugger like aliens that are constantly spawned by the alien heart
