I figure Ed would win because he well has alchamy and he may be new but he would probably beat him.

I don't think Alphonse being a metal suit of armor makes even an iota of difference. Edward has beat souls attached to suits of armor before, so the fact that Alphonse's soul has been attached to one makes no difference. Edward could simply stop him. He has before, all he has to do is immobilize the suit of armor, or alter it through alchemy. Fight over.

In the time it would take Alphonse to create a circle and start his alchemy, Edward could have already won the battle. Yes, Alphonse's suit of armor has some advantages in battle, but not against Edward.

For one thing when Alphonse goes up against someone, they assume that there is a living being inside the armor, and act accordingly. Edward has no misinformation in that area, he knows that there is no flesh and living being inside, and how to deal with it.

If it ever came down to an actual battle where Edward would actually want to kill Alphonse, he knows exactly what sort of move to make that would take him out in an instant. He knows where the mark is, and how to destroy it. Game, set, and match.

However, Alphonse being human alters the facts only slightly. Alphonse is still the weaker of the two links. Let's face it, if you had to choose only one of them to go into battle with, you would choose Edward if you wanted to hedge your bet. No matter which Alphonse you would put Edward up against, Edward would win. He is physical stronger than the human Alphonse, knows more alchemy, knows how to find peoples weaknesses, can work without a diagram (circle), and he has a dark side. There have been things that Edward has done, or tried to do that Alphonse begged hime to stop doing (or not to do).

Alphonse for all that has befallen him, still maintains has brighter child like qualities. He is gentler, more peaceful, more compassionate, and more forgiving. Edward has had to face things that Alphonse has never had to face. Edward has already shown that he has a bit of a dark side. He will go to lengths that Alphonse fears. Therefore Edward has an advantage that Alphonse will never have.

They would never fight to such heights, but if they had to, Edward would overpower Alphonse.

There have been a couple of times they fought.Mainly just bro quarrels,but it seems that they would never get in any real physical altercation.They are the only family they have to each other.What brother would want to do that?

Ed may be stronger as an alchemist, but Alphonse is an aluminum can. What's the worst that could happen to him? A dent? They may be brothers and brothers certainly argue, but I don't think that they would BATTLE . . .

ed totally alphonse is not that good at alchemy anyway, Ed could just like turn alphonse into a big flat piece of metal and mulch him coz ed can use alchemy without a transmutation circle. Plus alwould take like hours trying to get ed into his transmutation circle.

The worst that could happen to him, would obviously be for him to be trans-mutated. There is also the possibility that some weapons can puncture, or pass through him. He may be made of metal, but he is not impregnable.

Edward transforms his metal blades from his metal arm, which is of a much stronger metal than Alphonse's armor. Forget about the fact that Edward can transform into a cannon.

However, as we all keep saying they would not fight to such a level, so it's almost a mute point.

However, the question is asking IF (that's if) they did, who would win.

I dont think they would ever get into a real fist fight.
They are too close as brothers to do so.

i think that if they ever did get into a fight ed would win because he could always just transmute ed into something else or just destroy him

Oh, it would deffinatly be Ed, no question about it! Why??? Because one, alphonse has to draw a circle to do alchemy, whereas ed dosen't use one at all. Two, alphonse is, I hate to say, a little too weak hearted. Finally, Ed's temper comes in handy when fighting someone, not to mention his stubborness! ^^'
