Gladiator 2018 - Round 1, Match 9 - Hydrae versus Willie Lanier

[Rain Man]

So the kicker here is the special factors. The combatants are 800 feet apart, but a psychopath shows up in the middle at 400 feet and makes a beeline toward Willie Lanier. Willie can't use his bow effectively because his arm is asleep, and he's slow because it really hurts to run when your leg is asleep. The psychopath has better weaponry if Willie can't use his longbow, so can Willie evade him for three minutes in a mall? Willie has probably a 30 second head start assuming the psychopath runs at a normal speed.

I don't think Willie can fight off the psychopath in that first three minutes. I think Hydrae wins without firing a squirt shot.

How are you defining "looks stronger"? As soon as Willie tries to move, he's going to limp and possibly fall over on his tingly leg, likely causing the psycho to view Hydrae as stronger.

Maybe it would be like a World Cup soccer match where both contestants flop down immediately and writhe in pain at phantom attacks, in which case the psycho still goes after the guy with the longbow.
