Gladiator 2018 - Round 1, Match 4 - emaw82 versus alanm

[Rain Man]

I think the prissy cheerleader is the difference maker here. alanm has a huge initial weaponry advantage, but emaw has major camouflage ability with the funhouse environment and the smoke bombs. By implementing the shock collar, he can probably keep track of where alanm is due to the sound of alanm grunting with pain.

Emaw only has two chances. First, he can trick alanm into shooting into the wrong place six times, which is tough to do, particularly since he only has three smoke bombs. So that plan is out.

Second, emaw can generate a lot of chaos with the mirrors and the smoke, then simultaneously shock alanm and charge him, hoping that alanm will miss during his convulsion and that emaw can stab him with his stick or clippers. It's a high risk plan, but possible. He'll likely have a small window of opportunity.

However, enter the cheerleader. If she's sticking with alanm, I think she'll hold emaw off for just long enough to let alanm recover, and then alanm will employ the shotgun to great effectiveness.

The verbal command offsets any advantage to knowing his position, however. As we must assume the command has to be loud enough to reach the shock collar.

Good point, though I think the shock itself will keep alanm from homing in on emaw.

I wonder how the skewed perspectives of a funhouse would affect both mobility and aim.
