Gladiator Round 2, Match 10: sofa king vs. kyle delexus

[Rain Man]

I'd pay to see this one. I have a feeling that a kill could take a while.


sofa king:

Pilgrim-style blunderbuss with supplies for three shots

No backup weapon

Special Factor: You're wearing a full suit of armor

Time to plan: 74 seconds


kyle delexus:

Spear (6 foot)

No backup weapon

Time to plan: 119 seconds


Venue:


Classic large yard with occasional trees

Starting distance: 5 feet

The armor makes this really interesting.

EDIT: Is it mithril or plate?

[Old Dog]

Even if the couch dweller fails to kill with his first shot he would still do some damage. Then he turn the gun around, makes it a club and does in kyle.....the end.

This is your classic Renaissance armor. He can choose French, Italian, German, or English from an aesthetic standpoint.

Since the blunderbuss is loaded at the start, sofa king has this IMO.

[Steron]

kyle delexus. No way that blunderbuss can be aimed and fired accurately while wearing a suit of armor. Not to mention it'd be impossible to load. Kyle dodges the first shot, runs up, knocks Sofa King down, opens the face cover, and sticks the spear in his eye socket.

Kind of hard to miss with anything from 5 feet away.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Basically the only chance I have is to run laterally at the start in hopes of minimizing the damage from his first and likely only shot. From there I would have to use my not so blazing speed to my advantage since he is weighed down by heavy armor.

If the first shot doesn't do much damage, I'd still say I could win due to sofa kings limited mobility.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Kind of hard to miss with anything from 5 feet away.He is handed the weapon at go he would still have to point in the right direction wearing a full suit of armor. That could give me enough time to get out of harms way.

[Rain Man]

This one is tougher than it appears. If sofa king doesn't make that first shot, I could see kyle climbing aboard him and lifting his visor and stabbing him through it. Suits of armor don't just slow you down, they make it hard to move at all. I'm going with sofa king to make that first shot from close range, but I think kyle has about a 35 percent chance of winning.

[Sofa King]

Blunderbuss's do huge damage at very close range. Coupled with a suit of armor, and this match is perfectly suited to me.

No way i could lose this.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Sofa gets the WIN.

It's really hard to miss with a blunderbuss at 5 feet.

Except that he's shooting with a full suit of armor on and he's still got to point and shoot.

I'm fairly confident Sofa King has never moved around in a full suit of armor, without it he wins hands down, but with limited mobility I'd win no problem.

One thing people are ignoring, if he misses with the gun, its not like he's some hapless defenseless sack of meat who has no choice but to have his viser lifted by anyone who comes by.

If all else fails, Sofa King can just beat him to death with his metal-gauntleted fists.

Hell, i might just do that anyways.

Like the Germans in Belgium, the more heavily armored side wins. Game over.
