Who would win Simon Belmont or Edward Cullen?

This is an opinion question, so feel free to add your own opinion, but please do not remove other answers. Thank you.~ Supervisor.The Fullmetal alchemist himself! And Then Goku Came...... Edward Cullen is some kind of sparkly, super strong, superfast, immortal vampire who can only be killed if you rip his limbs apart and burn his body or something.Edward Elric, on the other hand, is mortal, can be killed, and has two auto mail limbs, a head full of intelligence and alchemy. Plus, he's short.No matter how much I favour Edward Elric over Edward Cullen (personally I really dislike Cullen) I think that in terms of a battle Edward Cullen would win. However, if Edward Elric survived said battle, he would probably use his brains and wit to outsmart Edward Cullen in the next battle and win.Little Edo would win. Okay he's mortal, and can be killed. But think about it, he battled the Homunculi (who are immortal, by the way) and the Nazis. I'm sure that "sparkles" can't be that hard to defeat. As for the burning thing, just let Mustang to it.That's so true! Edward Elric would kick Cullen's butt! And then Mustang would set him on fire with a snap of his fingers!People! Edward Elric will automatically pawn Cullen and force him into his grave because of his awesomeness, then he would totally kill Cullen, and anyone who's seen both shows would know that. And by the way, Cullen can die! In the movie, they can burn vampires a special way and their souls are then destroyed, remember the 1st movie?Okay, as much as I hate Cullen, you guys are wrong. Did you forget Cullen can read minds? Therefore he'd be able to hear, and know every plan and move Elric would think up.Dont miss out the fact that there's a limit to reading minds, and Elric is a higher paranormal creature than Cullen, the Philosopher's Stone and using the Hell's gate is fine enough to knock out Cullen.Umm... I think that Cullen could beat up Elric (if a miracle happened) or they would both be equally matched in skill and strength. But then, Cullen would accidentally call Elric small and Elric would go on a psychopathic rampage and kill Cullen with his alchemic abilities! But if Cullen somehow survived, in the next battle Cullen would use his mind reading powers to figure out Elric's next move. Too bad for Cullen that his brain would explode from all the stuff that Ed knows (or just from the mental picture of shirtless Alex Louis Armstrong!).Edward Cullen wouldn't understand a thing going through Elric's head, because a combination of advanced alchemy/chemistry and shirtless Armstrong would drive Cullen insane!Plus, Ed's auto mail is way more sparkly then Cullen.Although, I think Roy Mustang and Carlisle would probably get along nicely.Elric would be able to use alchemy to make life size cut out boards of Taylor Lautner in order to distract Cullen long enough for Roy to light him on fire! Edward would totaly lose, cause even if he did read minds ed is too smart for him to under stand, and he would figure out a way to keep him out, i mean a slutty uglly girl could do it, so it would be a total breeze for himm... then he would use his alcehmy to burry him up to his head in the ground and puch his face until all the sparkels were gone!!!! death to the girlish vampier the stains the name of edward!!!______________________________________________________________________Lets take a look at the facts here.Edward Elric: Unrestricted Alchemy (no circles), Northern style Automail (carbon based, lightweight, resulting in nigh super human speed). His trumpcard is his ability to transmute his soul into a philosopher's stone, thereupon being able to invade his opponent's consciousness and crush their soul. He does this twice during the series, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (a direct animation of the original Manga) once to destroy the Homonculous "Pride" and once to seal his fatal wounds. He IS ABLE to do this by sacrificing years of his future. In other words, he shortens his life span. He is, however only able to do this when grabbing an opponent.Edward Cullen: Immortal, superhuman strength/speed, vampire bite, hard skin, mind readingIn a battle of strength, Cullen would win, but that isn't the case here. Elric has fought several immortal beings using a combination of martial arts and alchemy of the highest caliber. During the final chapters of Fullmetal Alchemist, Elric is able to utilize the kinetic energy of the Earth's crust to create immense and precise transmutations (previously all the transmuations in the country of Amestris were powered by a single Homoculous residing underground).Edward Cullen needs to touch Elric to kill him. That wouldn't be allowed against the Edward Elric I've described. Even though Cullen is faster and stronger, the instant he lunges to kill Ed, he could be transmuted. Edward Cullen is a Vampire, but according to Stephanie Meyer, has a soul. This is bad news for Cullen, because it means that since he is an undead creature, his body is simply a container for a soul. It means Cullen is not alive; Elric would not be penalized by Truth for human transmutation. Elric simply counters Cullen's attack by erasing his soul, simultaneously destroying his container.Alchemists are better than Vampires.
