@vallablooded vs. @soleil-is-the-bae Coin Toss: Soleil strikes first
“The swords bracket was our most popular, and we begin it now with two competitors from an outrealm. A Miss Soleil and a Princess Megan. You’ll have to tell me your thoughts on their for, Chrom, I’m not as good with swordplay as you are.”
“I’m not usually so great at judging other sword types... Everything other than Falchion seems to break when I try using it. It’s a good thing they’re using rapiers, however. My tutors refused to let me have my inheritance back until I mastered those, at least.”
SOLEIL: 7 strike v. 19 defense
MEGAN: 12 strike v. 14 defense
SOLEIL: 3 strike v. 18 defense
MEGAN: 10 strike v. 13 defense
SOLEIL: 11 strike v. 11 defense
As Soleil lunges for a strike, Megan brings up her blade to block and the two are locked for a moment. Hilt-to-hilt, the fierce competitors glare at one another... er... well, before Soleil blushes at making eye contact with such a beautiful princess and gives Megan a quick wink before jumping back to defend.
MEGAN: 6 strike v. 4 defense
“At long last, a hit! These two are quite evenly matched, always blocking and parry one another’s strikes. Wait... did Soleil just wink at her opponent?”
“You know, her father did look rather familiar. I’m starting to get somewhat suspicious now... They do seem to almost equal, given so many blows failed to get through. A quick degage from Megan manages to score the first point! Nice try avoiding that, Soleil.”
SOLEIL: 14 strike v. 13 defense
Megan feels her knee quiver, about to give out as she tries to dodge Soleil’s strike. But her royal belt sash jingles, distracting Soleil from getting a second strike chance. Megan still takes a hit, but she feels more than capable of continuing the fight.
MEGAN: 8 strike (Chrysanthemum) v. 14 defense
SOLEIL: 10 strike v. 18 defense
MEGAN: 15 strike v. 8 defense
SOLEIL PEONY BONUS: 19 strike v. 15 defense
“These two are so equally skilled, we must initiate a tie breaker round! The quick-fire begins--”
TIE BREAKER: Megan: 18 ; Soleil: 11
“Megan’s croisé manages to force Soleil’s blade into the high line, and she is unable to retaliate before her the princess flicks her blade to score the winning point!”
