Season 26, Week 4
Sigurd
(Suikoden IV) 		 
Nina the Third has held out quite impressively for a dueler of her caliber, winning her way to the semi-finals. But alas, Sigurd will have to show the little princess the difference between a high Light and a lucky Puny. One could talk about how the pirate's attacks will rip the Wyndian princess's frail frame apart, or how he can win this through attrition with his healing spells, easily outclassing Nina's pathetic damage, but does it even matter? All he has to do is cast Silent Lake and seal Nina's magic along with her chances of winning. It'll be like stealing candy from a baby...or victory from a mage without spells.

 Oooooh, an opponent with Silent Lake to reduce her spells to nothing. Pish-posh...what trite nonsense. Nina is by far the faster fighter in this duel, and all it takes is a Mind Leech to level the playing field once again. From there, it becomes a contest of damage against healing - but after Mind Leech takes down Sigurd's MP, Nina should easilly have the AP stores to finish the fight. And if need be, Nina can use another Mind Leech or two to regenerate her AP. Nina may not be the most durable fighter out there, but Sigurd without his healing is nothing special either. Sigurd is outmaneuvered, outdamaged, and out of luck.

Sei
A man with a good physical against a mage made spell-less courtesy of Silent Lake? Who'd want to watch a battle like that?

No, for this match, victory shall be decided through a game of STRIP RITAPON!

It was a good idea at the time, the judges thought. It was a duel just as one-sided as before, but made a lot more exciting! That is, until Ryu caught a glimpse of the arena, just as Nina lost the match along with the last pieces of her garments.

It took a little less than an hour, and more than a few Godlikes to pacify the rampaging IRT Kaiser, but they were able salvage enough pieces of the Light arena, Sigurd, and the other Light finalist for the next round.

Just another day in the DL, really.

Sigurd: 49
Nina Wyndia: 31

Sigurd's masculine charms are capable of turning any woman to mush.

Nina's boyfriend is capable of turning Sigurd to mush.

Yuna is capable of turning Ryu into mush.

Sigurd's masculine charms are capable of turning Yuna to mush.

Looks like he's got this match all tied up!

Well, until Nina and Yuna find out he's two-timing and Tidus finds out he was hitting on Yuna.

But then, Sigurd's masculine charms are capable of also turning other girls to mush, aren't they?

And this is how two-dozen women beat Sigurd to a pulp.

Then the five dozen jilted men came around.

But hey, he won the match, didn't he?

And hey, Macha stood by his side. Forever. And ever. And ever. And ever.
