Season 12, Week 1
Riou
(Suikoden II)
 
A legendary battle - such as the one which pitted Riou and his army against Luca Blight - is seldom repeated. In this match, though, Riou gets the rare chance to prove that his first win was not a fluke. Even without his army, he still has reasons to be confident; he now has access to the powerful Forgiver Sign. With this flash opener, Riou can quickly carve down Luca's hit points and make it an even match. From there, a careful heal-attack pattern will slowly but surely take the giant down. Once and for all, Riou will prove that he's truly the Highland Prince's superior.

Luca Blight is truly a blessed fighter; the hallowed halls of the DL arena have given him a chance to avenge himself against the pig who dared to oppose his rule. Without an army backing him up, Riou is just a child with a powerful spell, one that won't do much to stop the Highland king's assault. With healing that can't keep up with Luca, defense that isn't enough to weaken the incoming attacks, and damage that just makes his foe laugh, Riou will finally pay the price for attacking the White Wolf.

Luca Blight. The very name brings fear to the hearts of most people. Some didn't think he could possibly beat the young Riou, as he lost once, long ago. Luca's durability was put to the test against Riou and seventeen others back then, and now it was just Riou.

History doesn't always repeat itself.

Riou: 17
Luca Blight: 31
