Grenseal (Suikoden) |
|||
Grenseal, the first Chiki Star and Teo McDohl's loyal retainer, makes another appearance in the RPGDL this season. Loyalty is an emphasis here, as it puts him far, far apart from his opponent, the newly upgraded Middle Champ Delita. While Delita knows the meaning of the word loyalty, everyone in the know realizes it's in the academic sense only. Grenseal is out to teach him the value of the quality, via some of the best lightning magic Suikoden has to offer outside of a true rune. Also outpacing Delita, Grenseal will be in a good position to put him on the ropes early, and teach him that, while Middle is an okay place for a backstabbing traitor, Heavy is a place for heroes like the Chiki Star. |

The King of Ivalice marches on! After he dashed, slashed, and impaled his way through the paltry Middle competition, from cyborgs to master ruin hunters, he finally lands in Heavy, where a respectable Holy Knight such as himself belongs. Armed to the teeth with his shield, his sword of smiting, and a... White Robe? Okay, maybe the setup of choice for the young king isn't normal, but the robe's an effective tool to guard against Grenseal's deadly Thunder Rune, and such an equipment will prove invaluable to Delita in this battle. The backstabbing ruler will inflict his brand of justice unto the imperial knight with his Holy Sword abilities, and he will claim his first Heavy victory, attempting to repeat his success in a higher division! |
Gatewalker For one of Delita’s fights, the match between him and Grenseal was surprisingly straightforward. The two knights had agreed to participate in what had become a bit of a tradition in the DL, a duel of swordsmanship with no magic, holy swordskills or anything of the like. Simply strength, skill and endurance, nothing more. Squaring off, the two knight saluted eachother with their blades and began their battle. Unlike matches between flashy fighters like Marissa and Sephiroth’s infamous duel, there were no amazing feats of agility or dazzling techniques on display this time. These men were knights. They fought with heavy armor, stout shields and strong swordarms, not needless flips and fancy footwork. Seeming nearly evenly matched at first, the two expertly parried, deflected and blocked eachother’s strikes for what seemed like ages, each one looking for the slightest opening in his opponent’s iron clad defense and the arena echoing with the clang of metal on metal. But before long, the match shifted in the favor of the King of Ivalice as he blocked a biting thrust from the Chiki star hero and lunged forward, knocking Grenseal aside with…his shoulder? Quite surprised at this sudden tactic, Grenseal backed off a bit and raised an eyebrow, “What was that? Some kind of trick you learned in the Black Sheep knights?” Chuckling, Delita shook his head, “Oh not at all. Just a simple counter tackle. Any squire can do it.” “Really? Hmm. Well, you’ve got some impressive squires then.” Seeing that he was in for more trouble then he anticipated, Grenseal raised his sword and began his attack anew, but every blocked slice was met with Delita shouldering past his guard and connecting with another of those tackles, while Delita never let up on his own offensive. Slowly but surely, the green knight was worn down by the swordblows and shoulders, and dropped to one knee, admitting defeat. Certainly this will go down in DL history, as the day a Heavy match was decided by the might of Counter Tackle. Grenseal: 38 |
