Talk:Solus/@comment-99.153.68.49-20201110194449

Man, I still remember being fascinated with Solus as a character. After basically being an unstoppable beast that haunted you throughout the game, winning that final fight was incredibly satisfying. We got to watch Solus go from arrogant, to intrigued, to concerned, to scared, to helpless. It wasn't just his dialogue, but his fighting style seemed to shift during the last half of the fight as well. He got sloppy towards the ends of the fight, attacking recklessly, defending less, and generally becoming more predictable as he gave in to his panic.

It was clear that Solus's power level was still significantly greater than Derrick's, but this was actually Solus's undoing. With all that power, Solus had never had to actually fight an opponent before. He never learned how to get the most out of his own abilities. But Derrick was used to being the underdog by this point, and he was far and away the more skilled combatant.
