Season 55, Week 2
Princess Toadstool
(Super Mario RPG)
 
This week, Princess Toadstool has a great surprise for you all: she is about to put in practice her Combat Psychology degree, earned during her long rest from the arena after that Middle championship, and she has juuuuuuuust what she needs to make this swordslinging prince solve whatever underlying issues he has. With a healthy mix of Sleepy Time, Therapy and Psych Bombs, the peachy princess of Mushroom Kingdom has the best psychology (and hypnosis!) tools around, and if mind treatment doesn't work, well, there's always the tried and true might of the swinging frying pan! It's time for Toadstool to begin her career in Heavy as the best problem-solver around, and maybe get rich in the psychology field with her unique treatment methods!

It's not really in Josh's nature to fight women, especially not princesses (that's a low blow both to his upbringing -and- his personal tenets), but you don't exactly get to pick your opponents around this place. That said, he's seen Princess Peach's record so he's not about to hold back for the sake of chivalry! After all, this unassuming pink lady is more than capable of taking care of herself (don't doubt the might of the frying pan). What the question really is here, though, is if her healing and tricks can deal with Joshua's blinding speed and damage. Quite honestly, with the ever looming threat of a swordmaster critical, she'll need to do whatever she's going to do fast or it will simply be too late. A swordmaster's offense is just this quick and deadly.

With his legendary sword and awesome hat, Joshua always cut a fine figure in battle.

Unfortunately for Princess Toadstool, the figure he was cutting this time was hers.

Hey, at least she was wanting to lose some weight before the next Mario sports title came out anyway...

Princess Toadstool: 15
Joshua: 38
