Question: Who would win a in a duel between David Surf or Douglas Rakan?
Explanation: We never got to see this duel in Chronicles…
Answer:
1.
It is extremely difficult to determine who would
win this duel. Stats wise they match up well. In fact it’s pretty even. Rakan
has better focus ability, but Surf is stronger and has more vitality. Surf is
also faster….
2.
Next you have to look at how the two warriors
stacked up in their duels they fought.
a.
Rakan fought against Tekrin Lavisco…and won.
Mostly due to physicality. Then he fought against Samuel Wesley, and retreated
against him…This was mostly due to the threat of having to fight more stari
masters. Then he fought against Isaiah McCloud and Samuel Wesley…and lost.
b.
Surf only had 2 duels in Chronicles. He fought
Henry Baswaski and basically won…although he had a little bit of help from
Dekrin Lavisco. Then he fought Bobbi Kirlienko and lost. However that was
mostly due to Bobbi cheating to win the duel….
c.
Lets put it together…Both warriors are physical
fighters and both won against the heads of the other’s orders mostly due to
that. Bobbi K isn’t as powerful overall as Henry
Baswaski….and
he lost to Isaiah McCloud, who beat Bobbi K…at a younger age at that.
3.
So looking at duels didn’t help too much. To be
honest, I could see this duel going both ways, even though Rakan is more
powerful overall clearly. So Douglas starts the duel between him and David. The
two lock swords…Surf stays aggressive, but Rakan dodges a fair share of the
attacks. And while Rakan has a focus advantage, Surf stays close enough to
Rakan since he’s faster. Rakan is used to overpowering his opponent but he
finds himself outmatched in that category here. However Rakan ropes a dope and
waits for Surf to go on the defensive, before launching his deadly Comet Shower
attack…Surf cannot dodge the attack but instead fires a star shot at it….This
is effective enough to allow Surf to survive the attack…but it’s too late,
Rakan goes on the offensive and eventually cuts down the weakened stari
master….
4.
Winner Douglas Rakan: While Surf had more
physicality, he wasn’t all that much stronger…Rakan could keep him at bay in
this hypothetical duel…Also David was unable to have a counter for Rakan’s
focus attacks….the only way Surf could win is if he just overpowered Rakan. However
I feel Rakan is too crafty to let that happen…but again I’m not saying Surf had
no chance. In fact if Surf had any help (Like Dekrin Lavisco) it would be an
easy win against Rakan.
