Dark Knight Cecil vs Paladin Cecil O_o

[Kain FF4]

Ok an epic battle who would win. Dark Knight Cecil or Paladin Cecil!

THIS IS NOT A THREAD ABOUT WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE!!! THIS IS WHO YOU THINK WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT!!!!!!!

[X-Death]

Paladin Cecil is better than Dark Knigh Cecil. Paladin has more uses like being a balanced character. Also, hes a offensive and defensive character.

I guess I'm the only one who voted for Dark Knight Cecil so far. I thought that he would win because he has the Death sword. Instant death. I don't think that Paladin Cecil would be able to survive an instant death attack. Also if Dark Knight Cecil would have been used throughout the game then he would have had better weapons that would make be even or greater than Paladin Cecil's weapons. Really I think it would be close though. I guess Paladin Cecil would win if he was like a level 50 character with amazing equipment and Dark Knight Cecil was a level 20 character with lousy equipment though.

The thing is that the death sword doesn't always cast instant death. For me it never did except on th Zuu's. So i doubt death would even work. Plus Paladin Cecil can equip some armor/equipment that makes him immune to Death (ex: ribbon) So I personally think that Paladin Cecil would win.

% of Death from that Sword is adjusted from creature to creature.. save some games, and have Cecil as a Dark Knight attack some of your team-mates, the results should amuse you. (I always got a laugh when I bitchslapped Edward with it.. hehehe)

Via game genie codes in the past I have played with, Paladin Cecil with full Crystal gear took a hell of alot of hits before it kicked in ~ but the point remains that it *did* kick in and toss him face-first into the dirt. Damage/effects of weapons aside I think that Dark Knight > Paladin, if Cecil was to be fully consumed by the darkness that screwed his head he would've been an army in itself under that clad of armour, let alone skills in combat. Paladin was ... given a Sword as a present and a pat on the back from his dad? Dark Knight was trained in the Dark Arts since he was a small lad up to this very day..

Hmm..

Then again, I like my things old-school, so to speak. :3

Yeah i'm with the Paladin Cecil on this one. I'm guessing that since the whole cliche of surpassing one's own evil is involved, he thus has the special "good presence" guiding him. I tend to like how characters reach an epiphany and convert to a completely new person both mentally and physically. I know theres people saying, "but oh, why does he wear a purple tiara? Is he gay lolz?" But c'mon....kicking ass with style? Thats even more badass than a dark cladded knight.

In terms of battle, other than that imfamous death sword, i'm pretty sure paladin Cecil would destroy dark knight Cecil. Here's the properties of each and please correct me if i inadvertently forgot any.

Dark Knight Cecil

1) Dark Attack: Which is good vs many but useless against a single target. Which is why this will handicap him against paladin cecil.

2) Stronger attacks: This will seriously put some wounds on paladin Cecil, perhaps Dark Knight Cecil's greatest advantage is dealing more physical damage.

3) Death/Status Ailment swords: Instant death wins for sure but it won't happen everytime. Game Genie is just weird Dawezy, i don't trust any knowledge from it


Paladin Cecil

1) Magic: I mean whats better than to have spells which can restore health, and inflict damage?

2) Light pwns Dark: Holy elemental will wreck dark elemental, its proven in every game. That is why Cecil's holyness will give him an edge.

3) Lightbringer: The antagonist of the death sword. This sword will beat the *holy* hell out of Dark Knight Cecil.

4) Friends: Paladin Cecil has friends since he is not under the orders of a corrupt legion. Rydia, people of Mysidia forgive him and respect him as a paladin. They hate Cecil as a dark knight since he pwnt everyone and stole crystals. Therefore he has backup..haha


Overall: Paladin Cecil for the win!

[Maridia]

I'd go Paladin. I think the Dark Knight is much more intence and cooler, but wouldn't be able to win in a head on fight. I figure since he's an offensive guy he'll throw all he can out, but the Paladin will slowly heal and fight weening him down.

[Frank_White]

Slowly heal? I'm pretty sure Cecil's magic never really got that powerful (in that he learns nothing past the Cure2/Cura stage), which really doesn't seem all that great a reason in supporting the Paladin. I mean, sure, his holy blade damages undead... but Dark Knight Cecil isn't undead. He's not even dead.

DK Cecil on the other hand has a Death dealing sword. It has a chance to kill whatever it hits. Never mind the fact that DK Cecil was a beast in combat, who do you really think would win? DK Cecil had a purpose in life, a reason to go on living. Paladin Cecil gets... a sword from a mountain and a few choice words from the spirit of his father?

*sighs* Dark Knight wins.

[pulse]

I do have to say Paladin, although I love Dark Knight Cecil, Paladin Cecil is strong enough as it is and with his healing magic I'd bet on the Paladin. Not to mention the universal trend of Light always defeating Darkness.

[Meier Link]

i agree with pulse and setzer, palidan Cecil would win. When has dark ever really beat light, with the exception of beer?

[omega destroyer]

Im going with paladin here. The power of light always wins over darkness and the dark knight attacks would most likely be rendered useless against the paladin, besides physical attk's. Anyways, if palladin Cecil gets hurt too badly he can cast cure.
So I believe the winner would end up being the Paladin.

[Refieth]

Paladin, definitely paladin. Light triumphs over dark, it always does.
