Thomas's careful swordsmanship? Good enough to beat a former Light finalist. Now it's going to be put to against a demon who was Crono's match in speed and power. Thomas has next to no hope to win without evasion and careful strikes, but that's not unusual in Light. The Tenkei star has to fight defensively and wear down Slash, as his margin of error is small. Sounds tough, but Thomas's entire fighting style is based around defensive combat and outlasting stronger, faster fighters who don't have his accuracy or excellent evasion.
