Season 38, Week 2
Tidus
(Final Fantasy X)
 
Speed. That one word sums up everything you need to know about Tidus's fighting style. Whether it's turning his own speed from merely impressive to outright blinding with Haste, making his opponent resemble a snail with Slow, or slamming down strike after strike after strike with Quick Hit, Tidus is a man who plays the speed game better then anyone else alive. But there is one final element to this set of speedy abilities, and that's the feared Evade and Counter property of the star blitzballer's signature Caladbolg sword. With these abilities at Tidus' command, and the Caladbolg in his hand, Max won't even be able to touch him, let alone have any hope of a victory.

S

Is Max ready for this Heavy Season? Yeah! Does he pack a huge punch with every shot of his gun? Yeah! Can he take a staggering amount of punishment and keep on coming? Yeah! Can he get around Tidus' legendary Evade & Counter? Yeah! Will Tidus have a hard time withstanding Max's barrages? Yeah! Can he put Tidus down for the count while avoiding an Overdrive? Yeah! Is Max going to win? YEAH!


SageAcrin
Yeah!

Max was hyped to fight this blonde beach bimbo! Yeah! He'd show him the true power of his Miacis-inspired arts! Yeah! The ones that he never unleashed, due to their dangerous power! Yeah!

He'd win! Yeah!

"...why is he surrounded by cat things?" Tidus asked out loud, as Max wandered out onto the field, ready to fight.

Tidus' confusion would be short lived, however.

As Max, surrounded by Miacis, let out an earth shattering roar, rapidly pulled out his gun, and fired a giant pink laser in Tidus' general direction.

Perhaps it was aimed at him.

With half the arena gone, we'll never know.

"Yeah! Feel the true power of my love for Miacis!" Max roared, as Tidus simply vaporized.

The judges, stunned, were forced to give him a loss-after all, who had ever heard of such a thing?

Even when he explained it? Of course, no one really caught the name, he was laughing so hard and so covered by Miacis. Something Spark? It was confusing.

But Max now knows the true power of love.

And Tidus now understands that love truly does hurt.

Tidus: 39
Max: 26
