Season 8, Week 2
Cyan Garamonde
(Final Fantasy VI) 		 
The aged and knightly soldier of Doma brings a number of crippling moves to a duel...most of which require hideous charge times. Usually this is a disadvantage, but against the offense-challenged flower girl he shouldn't have any trouble soaking up the hits until he can unleash his most devastating attacks. Normally the honourable knight would refrain from hitting a young girl like Aeris, but with a ticket to the quarterfinals on the line he'll surely set that aside and Cleave his way through his first DL win.

 Aeris is in a bit of a bind. She fights best against people who chip away at her HP, which is most of Light. But her opponent this week specializes in charging before landing a vicious (and usually deadly) combo. What's a flower girl to do? Aeris's gameplan will probably be to increase her defense as much as legally possible, hoping to survive a Quadra Slice. If she does, then Great Gospel will come into play, and she'll be unable to lose.

Cyan vs. Aeris is going to be the end of Disc 1 all over again.

Cyan Garamonde: 46
Aeris Gainsborough: 6

Hooah
Heathens! Cyan is not that weak!

What's the problem with Charge times? It takes you forever to do anything.

What's the problem with being reliant on Limits? It takes time for the enemy to hurt you into doing anything.

And thus, since this match was totally dependant on what Cyan did, he clearly wins, since while he can control how long he wants to charge, Aeris has no way of forcing Cyan to hit her into Limit range.

The good news for Aeris is that there is a storebought accessory that protects against Instant Death in FF7. The bad news: It's not available until after she herself is dead.
