Season 32, Week 2
Bowman Jean
(Star Ocean: The Second Story)
 
It's a regretful old man on the verge of death; Bowman knows how to deal with these types. A few helpful words... and a handful of pills. He'll be taking a slightly different tack in his return to middle, however; Bowman's strong physicals are just the thing to rip the incredibly frail Warlock apart. He can increase his already large speed advantage by firing off accurate Explosion Pills, or quickly closing in for the kill with Sakura Attack. The HP boosting Moon Fists means that even if Warlock somehow gets off an Earthquake, it'll be easily tanked by Bowman, giving him the time he needs to close in on the win.

The guilt of bringing a catastrophic weapon into being is heavy indeed. For the man known only as Warlock, the existence of Rune Cannons is a burden he must bear for the rest of his life. Fortunately he can vent some of his pain and frustration on a hapless pharmacist this week! With the power of his Mother Earth rune’s Earthquake and a shocking amount of evasion, Warlock will bury the young pup with little trouble while staving off Bowman’s own flurry of attacks. He may not be able to shop at Bowman’s pharmacy after the match (or at least not get a discount), but he’ll be a step closer to a Middle championship.

Normally you'd think pharmicists are weak when it comes to combat, but Warlock has hideously weak defense to physicals. Even ol Jeff down at the corner store can wreck havok on Warlock, so what do you think the result of a fighting pharmicist is? Match to Bowman.
