Season 2, Week 2
Ashton Anchors
(Star Ocean: The Second Story)
 
Ashton Anchors cursed luck once again haunts him this week. Not only did he draw a mage who has fast, deadly status attacks, but one who knows how to fight dragons. In favor of Ashton, he has several deadly weapons to choose from in this fight, including the legendary Melfua. He'll likely attempt to be aggressive here- someone who nets the likes of Mia Ausa has to be a lucky fellow.

Ghaleon's number one apprentice, Nash isn't anywhere near as powerful as his mentor, but he is much, much faster. And that speed gives him all the time he needs to both mock his foolish peasant opponent, and give him a "special delivery" in the form of one of his deadly status spells such as Sleep or Petrify, either of which will be deadly to the dragon-possessed swordsman and his terrible Magic Defence. Even if Nash somehow fails to get in that first hit, he can take solace in the fact that Ashton is nowhere near as strong as other dragon-imbued swordsmen whom Nash has met in the past, so he shouldn't be in any immediate danger. Really, this fight is Nash' to lose.

Well, at the very end, Ashton does get a bit of luck. After the misfortune of drawing Nash, then being turned into a statue and being given as a gift to Mia and getting placed in the Magic Guild Courtyard, there were at least plenty of barrels around for him to look at.
