Seymour vs. Sigma

Okay, I was alone on this one. Personally, I think Seymour would have taken this fight. There was one particular argument that pretty much clinched it for me, and even though it wasn't explored further, I just couldn't really ingore it.

Kuja`s, at one point, mentioned using Thundaga against Sigma, considering his metallic composition. Senesia's counter-argument was that Sigma has elemental defenses and it wouldn't work. Elemental defenses? Yes. But against magical elements. Not a chance.

There is a world of difference between an electrically-based Mega Man weapon and a Thunder spell. One is actual electricity, the other is mana, manipulated into a facsimile of lightning. Sigma has never encountered an attack of that sort, and while I don't believe it would kill him instantly, I do believe that it would negate any defenses he uses.

Another drawback to Sigma's approach is his huge form. While in this larger form, he has all but a complete lack of mobility. While yes, it has been proven that he can manipulate certain materials, namely metals, The Funhouse is not a futuristic fortress. It's a pretty standard building, made of concrete for the most part. If he were to transform into his larger form, he would A) lose a lot of the offensive and defensive advantages he boasts, and B) be nearly immobile. Kuja`s made this point, and it went completely ignored.

This was a great fight all around, but the Thundaga argument was one that I just couldn't let go of. There were a number of other points that needed to be explored further from both sides, but I'll just leave my two cents where they are. Good fight, everyone!
