Season 47, Week 2
Georg Prime
(Suikoden Series)
 
The hallowed Queen's Knight, deadly master of the blade arts - there's very little that Georg cannot cut through, and his sword abilities are matched by nearly none. And a teenager wielding an overcompensating gunblade certainly isn't a match for Georg Prime's masterful technique. While Squall's Lionheart limit break may be a threat at a glance, the Queen's Knight certainly isn't worried about that: if his blade can shear through even ironclad armor with its fiercest slash, it certainly can also deliver more precise and swift blows to chip through the limit range. And, once that has been taken care of, a final blow with all his might will end the hopes of the foolish SEED. Georg has experience and power that Squall could never hope to achieve in his lifetime, and he shall prove it this week.

The badass factor of this duel approaches Samuel L. Jackson levels. I mean, come on, this is a battle between a swordmaster with an eyepatch and a mercenary with a facial scar. The crowing irony is that Georg's sheer unrestrainable badassery will be his own downfall. See, Georg doesn't hold back on his strikes. Even if the former Queen's Knight equips an irrelevant skill, his amazing damage still easily removes a good 75% of Squall's HP. As countless others have found out, that's a really dangerous amount of damage to do to Balamb Garden's mercenaries. Squall's deadly Renzokuken can shred denizens of Godlike, and poor Georg has no way to evade it. Shall it be Fated Circle? Blasting Zone? Or, dare we say it, Lionheart? The time-traveling SeeD has this victory in the bag.

Squall knew how to handle this fight. Like most people, he'd just play it defensively, taking the brunt of injuries as well as he could to unleash his mighty Renzokuken once he was close enough to death, taking advantage of a typical heroic trope. It served him well in many fights, and it would serve him well in this one. So, as Georg unsheathed his blade, the SEED smirked.

And that smirk was awkwardly engraved in his face as Georg, as quickly as he entered the arena, swiped through Squall and delivered a single, fatal blow, splitting his body in half as swiftly as the Queen's Knight sheathed his sword back. Seems like he wasn't quite prepared after all.

LESSON LEARNED: a poor limit fighter shouldn't hope for his opponent to reach an exact lucky range. It usually backfires. That said and done, Georg gracefully accepted his victory and went onwards, maybe against a less inept and luck-reliant opponent.
