Another round of the same duel, same arguments, and I'll still say the ranking undersells it a bit.

Ranked this low for a game with combat this precise? I genuinely don't get how people vote sometimes.

Ah claro, con razón siempre gana los duelos, debe ser casualidad pura
NeonWarden
Anyway, 406th with a 70% win rate over 44 duels is a weird combo, the ranking clearly doesn't reward consistency the way it should.

Contra Ragnarök el combate impresiona menos hoy, la puesta en escena ya no compite igual.
NeonRider
Se mueve poco pero cuando gana un duelo, gana bien, eso ya dice algo ¿no?

Lo jugué en casa de un amigo, los dos turnándonos porque uno solo no aguantaba la frustración, y recuerdo gritar EN SERIO delante del televisor más de una vez
