Season 51, Week 1
Clive Winslett
(Wild Arms 3)
 
Normally, if a sniper's been trapped in an open, enclosed space, he's doing it wrong. Well, there really isn't any right way for Clive to fight in this arena, but he does it anyway, because he's just that cool. There isn't any way luck could favor him less though, as he faces off against the legendary Sky Knight Fogel. Both fighters hit like a truck, in very different ways, but Clive faces a rather large speed disparity that threatens his chances. Still, he's a very durable Drifter, and Fogel is full of physical features that Clive can easily make fun of for the psychological advantage. And the last thing he wants to do is lose in front of his family. After all, what loving father could ever lose with such an adorable daughter rooting for him?

The mightiest Sky Knight is back, and he has a free win for his triumphant return! Clive hits pretty hard, but Fogel can take any physical punishment and shrug. Not that he's going to need much of that durability, since Clive is slow as a molasses. For all his heavy armor, Fogel himself doesn't have that problem and will run rings around his opponent. The fact that he can chop Clive into little bits with his massive attack helps too. Clive could try and build up FP...but it's not really going to do much for him here, and by the time he reaches the higher levels he'd be dead anyway. When you consider Fogel's speed advantage, his impressive durability, and his penchant for bringing the pain, it's quite obvious who the victor will be in this slugfest.

Clive has always been a man of learning, so it's no surprise that he was well acquainted with the wisdom of one Mr. Kenny Rodgers. While he wouldn't consider himself a great expert in the art of gambling, he at least had the 'know when to walk away and know when to run' part down pretty well.

So when Fogel's reaction to being shot in the face was to grimace, spit the bullet back out and comment on the taste of lead, Clive simply put his weapon up and calmly left the arena.

There are some fights that you simply aren't going to win. And as far as Clive is concerned, it takes a braver man to admit that and move on then to fight on against all odds. There will be other seasons. Preferably ones without overpowered dragon knights of DOOM in them.

Clive Winslett: 5
