From Muzet Chapter 4.

Music: Final Fantasy 13-2 OST- Groovy Chocobo

This Gentleman is pretty much just an Elite-monster version. He has a weak point in his head, no Iron Stance, and hitting him ~5 times causes him to stagger. Speaking in the context of having only 1HP, he doesn't have many dangerous attacks; only 2 actually. His spit.... I mean, fire breath and his cartwheel. Fire breath has a small startup time, but its range is instant, so its impossible to avoid w/o sidestepping. The cartwheel makes his whole body into a weapon which is a sizable hitbox. His Good Day(aka the headbutt) has little range, his bladerang has can be dodged with a single sidestep, and his Tempest always tends to overshoot. Battle Beam is a joke too, but it has a decent hitbox BEHIND him(like a certain Auj Oulian king =0P), even more in the air. Fortunately, Crescent Flash was able to hit him w/o getting into the arte's range. Not shown here, but he has a missile attack that can do devastating damage if you are directly behind him, as the attack pushes him backwards, passing through you, and putting you in front of him to get hit by the attack. He rarely uses it though(not that it matters, since it has a startup as long as Battle Beam).

The first take was a fail. I REALLY hated that I screwed that up, but I didn't want to waste it. It happened because using Rending Quake the moment you leave the ground(or an instant before you land) will cause you to immediately land instead of doing the backwards flip(you only have 1-2 frames after jumping to do this), where you can follow it up with something else. It was unintentional. This caused me to end up on top of him. When he countered, he did so as if I was in front of him, but his unusual frame forced me behind him, so when I sidestepped, did so right into his attack. The second take just doesn't flow as well nor as clean, but its alright in general I suppose =01.
