Poco (Arc the Lad Collection) |
|||
The one-man marching band dynamo cruises along, and now he has to deal with an annoying, petty thief. However, while Zidane's low-handed tricks have gotten him far, they're not likely to save his overall ineptitude this time around. Silence? Poco has superior physical damage and counters, and Zidane's pathetic damage will get him outslugged if he goes that route. Mini? Poco's magical orchestra can cope with that just fine. Doom? It comes so slowly that Poco will handle Zidane before it kicks in. No matter what the status to pick up, the musician has an ace to counter with, leaving this match a hopeless affair for Zidane. All in all, in a surprising turn of events, the chubby little musician has all it takes to handle the cunning exploits of the Genome bandit. So, heads up and applause for the orchestra kid as he strides to the finals! |

Here's all you need to know about this match: Zidane goes first. That's it, that's game right there. With Soul blade and its myriad of horrifyingly accurate status, any non-status immune will suffer the thief's wrath. And guess what: Poco has no status immunity at all. This means that Zidane can leisurely stroll through this fight. He can kill Poco while sleeping, awake, tiny (well, tinier than usual), a statue, whatever. Of course, even if by some miracle Poco does manage to get a turn before he dies, Zidane is more than capable of taking a few horn blasts to the face. And it only takes a few rounds of status to kill Poco, who, let's face it, is not well known for standing up well to damage. After sending the musican back to band practice, Zidane heads to the Middle Finals, where victory is certain. Just like in this week's match! |
superaielman Zidane's brainpower, sense of tactics and general worth are all pretty low. But even he can figure out a few things: If he were to do anything even remotely out of line, the list of people who would kick his ass- from Ghaleon to the judges to Garnet to Edge to half the women in the DL proper- would make any mischief not worth doing. He'd have to find someone even lower on the food chain than him to randomly take the ire of people while he attempted to beat Poco. Vaynard in a cardboard box, ranting about the mountains (of trash) he had to climb to get this far gave him the perfect idea. === The White Wolf of Norgard is unpopular. The sky is blue. Water is wet. Alonso however is hated. Loathed. Generally spat upon. And thanks to an especially stupid turn several seasons back, responsible for Zidane not being gone for at least 70 years in the DL histories. When Zidane set up a charity to help Vaynard buy back his ancient castle (Attempts to take it back were brutally repelled, as the NDF's crack commando unit Duran was horribly injuried when he attempted to climb down a chimney. Which was lit, as even the mid fall months were brutally cold in Flogeru. Never let it be said that Fairie was a tactical genius in *any* sense.), it generated a lot of cash. Who'da thunk that Alonso in a dunking booth with the water tank full of poisoned water would be so popular? Not only did Zidane rais enough cash to buy back Vaynard's castle, he even had enough money to hire the Shu in the Neo Granzon while he handled Poco. (Or have the Neo Granzon step on Poco, either way- the judges were too distracted with laughing at Alonso's plight to bother paying attention to the fight.) Poco: 12 |
