I feel like any kind of confrontation between the two would just end in a stalemate. Both have insane defensive abilities, but the best one can do is manipulate and shoot the other, while the other is really, really good with a sword. It's just that Dan is immortal, and Richard can physically stop anything. I think I'd give the manipulation the edge, simply because it actually has more than a 0% chance of working.
