Mint vs. Bahamut (both writeups)
« on: December 19, 2007, 03:27:30 AM »
(Mint)
Bahamut. King of the Dragons. Famous for one thing... Megaflare. Soon to be famous for two things, the other being his humiliating loss to future Global Empress Mint. Aside from her painful ice magic, megalomania, and jump kicks, Mint has just about the perfect answer to Megaflare... invincibility. Whether Bahamut is kind enough to count it down for her or not, Mint will simply shrug Megaflare off while giving Bahamut the beating of his lifetime. If feeling especially boastful, she might try finishing this with an impressive burst of her Fire Heart magic for some dragon flambé. Mint's already tamed one dragon king in Wylaf; another new draconic ally would be just the thing to ensure world domination, baby!

(Bahamut)
The mighty Bahamut does not grant his support easily. Supplicants must be tested, whether through retrieving rat tails or, better yet, victory in the Dueling Arena. Unfortunately for the orange-haired princess, she doesn't seem likely to earn it. Bahamut's brutal physical attack will force Mint on the defensive immediately, forcing her to blow her MP before Megaflare even enters the picture. And while Mint can reapply her one MP-inefficient trick, there is a crucial lag after her invincibility fades- more than enough time to finish off the Princess. Mint will be "enjoying" the rest of this season from the sidelines, eating pumpkin stew as she watches the eventual Godlike champion rise to his rightful place.

Disclaimer: Basically assuming Bahamut chooses Spira Bahamut for this fight. Haven't played very far in FF12, so it's entirely possible that Ivalice Bahamut has a better argument than Spira Bahamut (especially if FF12 Bahamut has a status attack). I'm fairly certain that Lunarian Bahamut loses (doesn't do much before Megaflare IIRC, despite good durability?), and questionable-legality GF Bahamut loses badly (OHKOed by Mint's fire magic, or alternately invinciblity before the summon goes off every time, and damage is bad compared to twinked FF8 limits).
