Gallows Caradine (Wild Arms 3) |
|||
Few can stand up to Gallows. and his foe this week is no different. In fact, this time it's literal: Gallows is over six feet tall, and Twaikin less than half that. The obvious intimidation advantage makes this a great opening match for the large-lipped man from Baskar. With the torrential powers of Schturdark by his side, as well as any other mediums he's brought along with him, even the dwarf's lauded defensive advantages will be a non-factor. A bit of pressure should easily hand Gallows a win here, sending Twaikin back home to Snow White and the other six dwarves. |

Budehuc's resident dwarf is out to prove a motto his people learn from earliest childhood this season: size matters not. In this case, that's because the stature of his opponent hardly means he's the bigger tank! Indeed, few outside Godlike can match Twaikin's fearsome durability, not to mention his skill with a shovel. Gallows is no Godlike, so the dwarf's strategy is simple in the extreme - shrug off the Baskar's magical onslaught like the specks of dust it resembles, administer a few well-placed blows to the head with a blunt object, and walk away one step closer to a Middle title. |
SageAcrin As it turns out, Twaikin has a hidden weakness. Twaikin is deathly afraid of water, ever since, at the age of six, a giant clam tried to drag him underwater. (They have problems with these things in the world of Suikoden.) He couldn't swim at the time, either. (Never mind how a clam gets on land. It just does. Accept it.) It's why he stays in caves so much, y'see. No bodies of water in sight. Imagine how he'd feel getting smacked by an Assault Tide. Actually, no one really has to imagine. The shriek could be heard throughout the entire duelling league, as Twaikin wet himself and ran, gibbering madly, into a wall. His therapist says he's doing better, but he still has the same reaction whenever someone mentions Gallows' name. Which, of course, Landis does every chance he gets, preferably in large crowds, but that's another story. Gallows Caradine: 34 |
