honestly I think Altair is better but Ezio has some perks to

then he had to redo his assasin training from the basics.

duuuuuuuuh, Altair was b%tchslapped by the master because he broke all the rules of creed and mindf@#ked before starting the real story.

untrue, Altair could blend into crowds, and if he wanted to avoid guards who were chasing him, he'd just sit on a bench. Poof, he's invisible. But Ezio, if they see him do that, he jut stands back up.

Altair had a bad start, though he was skilled, he could never blend into crowds and his methods were too rough and flashy. but he always did his job. he was taught again until he understood the meaning of his work. Ezio on other hand was completely unrelated but due to his lineage was dragged into assasinhood. he was agile enough, he was a people's person unlike Altair. he did understand the meaning of "nothing is what it seems, EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED". due to Time. Ezio takes the cake in being better assasin since he was about over 100 years apart. but altair was a prodigy of his times.

....Altiar did break the rules, once. Ezio never did

Ezio didn't need initiation, since he did all that crap before actaully become an assassin. don't you remeber playing AC2?

False. Ezio's father was an assassin.

But the assassins weren't even around for hundreds of years until Ezio was born. The world forgot about assassins entirely, so the creed was destroyed along with it. Leonardo was just an Inventor with the mindset that if assassins came back, they could do double the damage.

Exactly. Ezio did not have initiation, nor does he understand the whole Creed. So that means he does not have proper training, and he's a disgrace to the order, unlike Altair.

Well, apparently i forgot about that scene. And the Creed was basically already broken by the time of Ezio. He basically rebuilt it. So really, all of the rules of the old Creed, back in the days of Masyaf, were forgotten. Ezio probably even didn't even know about the old rules. It's not like he had an initiation. He just knew that his ancestor was an assassin, but to keep order. Ezio wanted to keep order, so he just BECAME an assassin. And remade the Creed and Brotherhood.

No, it actually is shown. During initiation, his final task was to grab a feather that was falling, while the blade was attatched to his wrist. As he grabbed it, the blade chopped his finger off. He just stood there afterwards, not in pain. He thought of Hidden Blades in the Cotex but no, he wouldn't have used them. The Creed strictly says only one, in which Leonardo broke for Ezio.

First of all, hidden-guns weren't around in the days of Altair. Second, it never showed Altair lose his finger, he probably reacted. Third, Ezio is a way better assassin than Altair. After all, he was in more games than Altair. Three. Altair was only in one. (Unless you count Revelations, which i don't.) And Altair thought of dual hidden blades. If he would thought of them earlier, he would of used them.
