I agree but i dont think the Ruo fight is the right time or the situation for MC to suffer a scripted loss. In the first fight, I would have been okay with losing to Ruo, would have been a good wake up call. But now I would not be okay with it. I'm 50-50 on the LC fight since it kinda made sense ig. He was fighting against two prodigy MHs with one of them possible of upping two stages going all out (MC could fight and win against a LH that soon after getting Dantain so saying Ruo could beat a low level PH makes sense to me) and a strong PH who is the student of the Omniscient Sage. Ofc I only say this cuz we, the MC and Ruo were in the fight but the current tourney events gave a perpective to me on how strong LC was so im kinda conflicted with my ego and realism lmao. If we go a specific route, we beat 5 PH 1v5, #17 of arena 1v1, and 10 PH 1v10 in a row with little breaks in between which i think is pretty amazing. Idk how strong Mo Long is now but we beat him in the past, and Mo Long kinda put Chu Muchen (#5 in arena i believe) on his *** so we can say he gives him a run for his money. Man its all so confusing, thats the main reason why a scripted loss in the next two stages of the Tourney and against Ruo would be disappointing, Best use the fights to set the powerlevels of both of us compared to PH LC and the rest of the Arena. We've got 3v3s and a bunch of 1v1's so Niki has a lot of opportunity to clear up powerlevels and set standards.
