Nobody told Cliff he would be facing a woman strikingly similar to Mirage. They’d told him what Ayla’s weakness was and what tactics to use but nobody told him what she LOOKED like.
Subsequently a bemused Cliff wandered around the arena confused and unsure of what to do. He just couldn’t face beating down someone that reminded him of Mirage ... but what could he do? Unfortunately for him he wasn’t about to come to a winning decision any time soon as Ayla’s chaos inducing Iron Fist kept an already confused Cliff in a perpetual state of confusion until the end of the match.
On the bright side Ayla was impressed by Cliff’s blonde good looks, blue eyes and muscley bulk. He reminded her of home “Cliff family – come!” she gestured, heading off with a baffled Cliff following behind. Cliff is currently recuperating from his loss whilst being surrounded by blonde haired blue eyed women. A village of Mirages? Heaven.
