Season 54, Week 3
Landis
(Suikoden III)
 
After defeating another adept flyer, beating up a honest-to-goodness pedestrian should be a (no pun intended) walk in the park. It also doesn’t hurt that Landis’ opponent this time is an unjunctioned FF 8 PC, and one with a non-fatal limit at that. Of course, the winger’s S rank in Freeze will likely mean that even if Selphie finds herself in the limit range, she’ll probably be stunned or fatally paralyzed anyways. And if she still gets a limit? Fatal paralysis and Selphie’s lackluster damage mean that healing won’t get her far; Landis’ S in Magic Resistance will mean that any magical limit Selphie attempts to cast will come up short, especially when paired with his healing critical. Selphie may as well just swallow some of that sugar she loves so much and call it a day, because the only End she’ll be seeing here is her own.

A little bit of sucrose, fructose, dextrose...anything with a mix of carbon and oxygen bonds is all it takes for the Garden soldier to stand tall and fight off even the scariest of opponents. And boooy is Landis scary! Despite being a scary wing-thing he's about as impotent as an old man. When you have the ability to banish the ultimate sorceress to infinity with a single thought, a freak with a scythe isn't too tough. All Landis can do is attack things slowly, while Selphie, hyped on sugar, is more than agile enough to avoid and counter anything he throws her way. Besides, nunchucks are the ideal weapon to catch hold of and disarm a giant, slow, fumbling scythe. And without that scythe, Landis is out of luck - give Selphie enough time, and anything will fall to the great void beyond with a single, innocent, The End.

Evil Selphie was determined.
Evil Selphie was all-powerful.
Evil Selphie wa- wait, what?

The match was eventually decided by Landis just picking Selphie up and setting her down outside the arena. It's impossible to tell if Freeze actually kicked in or not from his repeated jabs, as she hasn't stopped talking yet; Landis hasn't left himself yet, and is still listening to her.

Apparently he feels bad for her or something.

Landis: 36
