Season 8, Week 3
Robo
(Chrono Trigger)
 
Robo's up for a long match this week, so it's a good thing that robots don't get bored! Even if the young Beoulve's MBarrier prevents the dreaded Uzzi Punch from knocking her block off, Robo's own excellent endurance and cheap Cure Beam will keep him in the match for a good long time. God help little Alma, then, if the last digit of Robo's HP ever hits '9,' for the cataclysmic resultant damage will doubtless spell her doom. No matter what happens, it looks like Robo has a clear advantage, and he's ready to win another battle in the name of science.

After her rousing victory over Imperial General Kwanda Rosman last week, Alma turns to face a far more dangerous opponent this week. Armed with her trusty stick of thwacking and the magical prowess of a renowned cleric, Alma is more than ready to face down her worthy enemy. With MBarrier protecting her from the worst of Robo's attacks as well as giving her an edge speedwise, Alma is ready to engage Robo in a fiercely contested battle to prove whether faith or technology is the ultimate truth.

Nobody was quite sure who started the chant but throughout the stand there came a constant, growing chant of

Alma eats babies
Alma eats babies
Alma eats babies

"Well at least it's not me this time," said Cloud.
"Dude, are you still bitter about GameFAQs last year?" said Tidus. "I mean c'mon man, you won didn't you?"

"That's true." Cloud said. "Alma eats babies. Alma eats...OW, what was that for Tifa?"
"You're not really going to join in on this are you?"
"I don't see what's so wrong with it," said Cloud.
"Whatever."
"Alma eats..."

Meanwhile in the RPGDL dressing room, where the chant was just a muffled drone through the concrete, Alma was hiding her face in her hands. "Alma!" Ramza said shaking her arm. "Alma you have to go out there. It's time for the match!"
"I...I won't."
"Shh, Alma...don't worry about getting hurt. I've been hit by his 9-HP Uzzi Punch in practices and lived, though barely but...I have neither Defence Up nor Protect."
"No, Ramza. It's...not that."
"Damage? My Ultima killed him in three shots, and yours has always been much better than mine."
"Ramza, you don't understand. I don't want to be another Miluda!"
"And besides, you've got incredible speed with...Mil...wha?"
Alma shook her head. "People didn't want Miluda to fight, and she still did making a lot of people angry. I don't want to make people angry. If they don't want me to fight, then I won't."
"Alma..." Ramza started, but then paused and nodded "do what you think is right."

Robo: 34
Alma Beoulve: 22

Robo has offense.

Alma does not.

Time for some quick math!

Uzzi Punch's Damage at xx9 HP: just over 3000
Uzzi Punch against Alma, who has innate Defense Up: 2000
Uzzi Punch REALISTICALLY against Alma, whose going first and casting Mbarrier: 1000
Robo's Magic Defense: Complete crap
Alma's Magic Damage: Enough to 2HKO an average PC
Alma's Speed: High
Robo's Speed: Average at best
Alma's Damage to Robo: Likly more than Cure Beam can recover from
Alma's speed after Mbarrier which gives Haste: HOLY ****!
Robo after eating 2 Ultimas from character with game's best MA: Sent to the maintenance deck and forced to wait 3 more seasons to get a shot at going up a division
