    Based on presentation, it's probably Conner's to lose. Based on actual feats, well, original Highlander suffered from horrific choreography. If we go by the entire series, we get the version from where Conner has been building up power by killing hundreds of other immortals, to where he's likely better than Duncan, who most definitely doesn't suffer from the same horrible choreography. Also, the only way to put him down and keep him down is to do a thing that most of the others here wouldn't really think to do.

    Patriot also probably gets guns here, right? That might let him take out a foe or two - as long as he doesn't waste a shot on Conner. He won't get the chance to reload, anyway.

    Ben Martin has probably between two and four single shot revolvers. Maybe a loaded rifle. Either way he’ll get two to three shots off I’d imagine (presuming everyone is 100 feet away as per Khazan).

    Considering he was pretty accurate, I would imagine he’d take shots at the most imposing figures here: Mathayus, Conan, Leonidas, and maybe Hector or Maximus. After that it’s a tough call. Connor should win but presented by feats he’s kind of a crappy swordsman.

    How far do you want to take bad choreography? Because none of it very accurate from a historical perspective.

    Zorro uses his rapier to mostly cut, for example.

    Yeah I'd have to agree with is assessment.

    At a glance, despite his presentation Connor kinda...sucks, but being an immortal still gives him a level of damage soak far beyond the competition, and decapitation being the only way to keep him down doesn't fall under standard knowledge.

    Idk, it would seem to me that the first time stabbing him didn't work and he kills his first victim someone would escalate.

    Nope, no idea. Mathayus only existed for one movie, shame they didn't follow up
