Season 2, Week 3
Palmer
(Final Fantasy VII)
 
Palmer faces another cute flower power type girl this week. Like Aeris, Rena has powerful healing, but weak damage. Unlike Aeris, Rena isn't going to just roll over and die. Palmer's shooting skills will be of little use against Rena here, as she's taken bullets from far better while fighting her way through Nede. His taunting skills will be of less use, as Rena herself mastered that battle skill ages ago. Palmer's only hope for a win is to hope that his truck skills are enough to scare the Nedian girl away.

Rena Lanford isn't exactly heavy on damage, but then, that's why she is in Light. Luckilly for her, her opponent Palmer is in the same situation. Which means that Rena holds the decided edge in this battle, thanks to her incredible variety of defensive magic. With Angel Feather to boost all her stats, Anti to protect against her opponent's magical gun attacks, and Fairy Heal to restore her health to full, she'll be able to outlast even Palmer, He Who Survives Truck Attacks. The only question is, will her MP last long enough for her to pull the victory off? And, given that her best weapon, the Fallen Hope, cuts her MP expenditure in half, the answer is probably yes.


OK
Palmer and Rena, strangely, seemed to be evenly matched. Palmer's gun attacks was met by Rena's equally skillful spell casting. Starflare to Mako gun....Light Cross to, er, Mako Gun...Fairy Light to, alright you get the idea. Nonetheless Palmer and Rena had become stalemated, both eyeing each other from across the arena, waiting for the other to make a move.

"You know," Palmer yelled over at his opponent, "you should surrender now. I'm a guy, which means I can do everything better than you. Eventually, I'll win, so just give it up now."

"You know," Rena responded, "you're right. I bet you can do everything better than me. Well, except die, of course. I can go out in a better fashion than you could."

"Oh yeah? Well watch this!"

With that, Palmer took out a whistle, blew on it, and several seconds later was hit by a truck that carried him out of the arena, giving Rena the win.

*....oh come on! It's Palmer. Of COURSE there's going to be a truck comment in here somewhere!*
