Season 53, Week 4
Rudy Roughknight
(Wild Arms)
 
Two robot-like duellers, two gun users. There are a lot of surface similarities between Rudy Roughknight and the reploid Axl, but the two are worlds apart when it comes to the subtleties. While Axl is a mere maverick hunter, Rudy has the legendary power of ARMs and an unerring resolve that the obnoxious twerp reploid can't even manage to grasp, let alone imitate. With the aid of the Guardians and his own might, Rudy will break past Axl's Stealth Mode and Morphs, and land a decisive Gun Claymore. After all, one carrying the resolve of Filgaia can't succumb to a simple hunter with as much depth as a paper plate.

This week in middle, it's a match of gunner versus gunner! Construct versus construct! Axl's going to prove he's got what it takes to defeat Rudy Roughknight right here and now. His opponent may be wielding a legendary ARM - a force to be reckoned with, no doubt - but it's nothing that'll be impossible to defeat. Our Maverick Hunter's going to rely on his superior speed to beat Rudy to the shot and his handy Stealth Mode to avoid whatever counter-fire he may encounter. Bearer of a legendary ARM or not, not even Rudy can defeat something he can't see - it's a natural weakness Axl's going to capitalize on.

Axl has guns.

Rudy has guns.

Clearly, this could end only one way.

"...Rudy? You were supposed to shoot a hole -in- the card, not completely obliterate the card." Jack sighed as Axl plugged aces. Rudy shrugged, and wandered off.

"Right. Guess you win, Axl." Jack shrugged as he, too, left.

Rudy Roughknight: 13
Axl: 21
