So if you take a Black Mage and a Monk at their strongest power (If you go off of FFIII then a Magus and a Black Belt) with all stats and abilities maxed out and pit them against each other in a arena. Who'd win. I notice Black Mages are good at range and would have a small advantage of that range, but Monks are good at close quarters combat and are definitely hard hitters but they'd have to rush fast enough to avoid the Black Mage's strongest Black Magic spell like Flare, Death, or any of the -Aga spells. Then the Black Mage would have to be fast enough to keep distance between himself and the Monk before the Monk uses his strongest attack like Phantom Rush or a Final Heaven like attack (I know I'm using FFVI and FFVII here for the basis of the Monks attack but I did it to add variety to the Monk's attack). So who'd win in your opinion?
