Season 24, Week 2
Barret Wallace
(Final Fantasy VII)
 
As he returns to the Duelling League, the leader of Avalanche faces...a delicate flower blowing along the breezes of life? Bwahahaha! Barret doesn't bother with crap like that! Relying on the strength of his gunarm and his overwhelming limit attacks, the terrorist brings quick and certain pain in the arena. While Barret could take the easy - and fatal - advantage and shut down the mage's spells completely with Mindblow, the instand death of Hammerblow has its merits. Both moves completely finish off the frail girl from Alma Kinnan, and get Barret back to what's most important - spending quality with his daughter and then kicking ass.

While the head of her clan may have had bad luck in the arena, the other lady of Alma Kinan is determined to finally bring home a win! Barret isn't Yumi's ideal opponent, though; his Mindblow is a serious obstacle for a mage. Still, Yumi is hardly without options, as Barret's gun arm is rather underwhelming as far as damage goes, and a few well-placed crossbow bolts can let Yumi buy time before his limit. A few defensive spells should close the gap in durability nicely, and coupled with everything else, Yumi's chances to win are far better than they might seem at first. The warrior shaman's not going down without a fight, and, spirits willing, it's a fight she can win.

It's funny, really.

Barret has a gun. A machine gun, an automatic weapon... call it what you will. Sure, it may be attached to his arm, but he's still capable of firing dozens of bullets in the space of a second or two. Yumi, on the other hand, has a far older piece of technology at her disposal: the crossbow.

For some unfathomable reason Yumi has a massive advantage, as her crossbow causes far more damage than Barret's machinegun attacks. Could it be that using the lower form of technology is actually an advantage in RPGs?

... well, since Barret, after realising his gun was useless, won the fight in single (if hammer-like) swing of his fist, it does seem a strong possibility.

Barret Wallace: 56
Yumi: 20

Barret, naturally, ran over Yumi with a train.

Then the tracks ran into the wall, the train plowed into the crowd, fell over, exploded, Barret climbed out of the train, and finally Barret exploded.

Hey, Luca thought it was a good joke, even if most of the crowd didn't. Wasn't hard to talk Lezard into it, either.
