And even more destruction. 3 of the first 4 fights simmed for Zenith thus far have just been “this person is totally out of their league” fights. But the rankings and fight streaks actually indicated this was one of our most even Zenith events ever. EVER!! (I don’t know about ever, it’s not something I keep track of that way. Just sayin’… Stop judging me.)
