Edge was suitably impressed, as any person who had any shreds of intelligence. Zidane had utterly wrecked three matches, pissed off at least two Godlike champions, the entire Chrono Cross crew (who weren't going to appreciate having Xorn dropped on them by the person who hired them), Garnet, Rubicant. All that and he still had his 'deal' with Ghaleon to fulfill. Everyone who was watching and tagging along during this was also suitably impressed. How could Edge top this? Zidane was so confident, and didn't at all interfere as Nate slowly beat Jade down. All he did was jeer both fighters and taunt Edge. His taunting had next to no visible effect- while Edge *was* impressed, he didn't look like a man who was worried about losing a bet.
It irritated him a great deal in fact. Zidane went to go get a hold of Ghaleon to bribe him so he could beat up the smarmy Ninja Prince. To his delight, Ghaleon waived any fee and agreed crush Edge merely for the joy of it. Ghaleon did in fact completely beat Edge down- a Hell Wave followed by a physical left Edge a bleeding pool of flesh on the floor.
Nate had just finished off Jade when Ghaleon had finished up slaughtering Edge. Zidane left the arena laughing, sure that Edge would be unable to match the chaos and trouble he had caused.
Zidane was right. Sorta.
