Season 1, Week 3
Gades
(Lufia Series)
 
Gades is typically known for being the weakest of the four sinistrals, and thus is always the first one to bite the dust. However, being the weakest among the Sinistrals is much like being the worst member of the Harlem Globetrotters. No matter how much you suck compared to your teammates, you're better than almost any other schmoe that comes after ya. In this light, there isn't really much to say except that Gades excels at smashing things, takes lots of beats before he stops smashing things, and even Beatrix's healing will be put to the test against the mighty Sinistral.

The pride of Alexandria, Beatrix is a noted swordswoman in her own right. With her Seiken skills, and her supply of White Magic, she's got much more versatility (not to mention healing) than her opponent. Her superior speed shines when combined with her powerful Seiken attacks like Shock, and her good magic abilities may give Gades a run for his money. Though she lacks the pure physical prowess that Gades does, she still has a great chance to take this.

Beatrix had been wondering what chance she stood against the ever impressive Gades. After all, while she was the strongest member of the Alexandrian Military with the exception of her boyfriend, Steiner, even the greatest of knights isn't a match for a Sinistral going full out. However, not being the type to easily give up, she consulted with her queen and finally the two of them hatched a plan...
On the day of the match, Beatrix was leaning by the edge of the arena chatting with some of the bystanders as Gades entered. He walked over to Beatrix in order to do his traditional villainous pre-match taunting, then stopped, a never before seen look of witless, primal terror that not even a Wave Motioned Maxim had been able to summon. Then, with a cry of panic, he fled, giving Beatrix the win. Beatrix, smiled as she first recieved Freya's thanks for getting Cleyra's orphaned children free front row seats, and then as Gades proved her theory that, the bigger they are, the more likely they have a cliche fear of mice.

Gades: 8
Beatrix: 12
