Controversial Rumble’s Revenge On Democracy: WorstGen ASOIAF 2v2 Fighting Tournament
- Thread starter Elder Lee Hung

The thing is, Sandoq & Belwas use a curved Arakh, not your Westerosi sword.
They are also extremely experienced fighters from the Mereen fighting pits - Sandoq had won 100 fights or so, and Belwas claimed he was undefeated.
Sandoq's weapon is Valyrian steel too and in the story, he slew 12 knights and a Kingsguard all by himself.
It was compared to a Farmer cutting down reeds in his farm rather than an actual swordfight in Fire & Blood.
Not wearing an armor or his opponent wearing one was never a problem. He cut through the chainmail of the knights like butter, just like how Oberyn brought down the Mountain by slashing at the joints.
Sandoq is like the combination of the size/strength of the Mountain, the speed & smarts of Bronn, the skill of Jaime or Selmy and a Valyrian steel weapon.
I think Cregan Stark is an incredibly great fighter, but Sandoq, Daemon Blackfyre & Arthur Dayne are the best fighters in the story imo.
The Mereen Fighting Pit duo gets my vote.

The Northern Nutjobs take this🥶
Sandoq is a super monster and a cunt, and his fighting companion Belwas is a champion of Meeren (fighting without armor) who claims to have never lost a fight and who got his swordplay hyped up by Barristan himself. But this Northern team is extremely formidable: Cregan Stark, the best swordsman who the Dragonknight had ever faced, and Lord Jon Umber, a 7 foot tall freak capable of throwing men in armor like children, and who needed 8 freaking people to restrain him while he was utterly drunk lmfao. Jaime also hypes him up.
I think Belwas will be the first one to be cut down and then Sandoq takes his first L.

It was a different sort of music that Sandoq the Shadow played at the gates of Maegor’s Holdfast, as Ser Amaury’s guardsmen rushed at him with sword and spear. That night his chosen instruments were a tall black shield of nightwood, boiled hide, and iron, and a great curved sword with a dragonbone hilt whose dark blade shone in the torchlight with the distinctive ripples of Valyrian steel. His foes howled and cursed and shouted as they came at him, but the Shadow made no sound save with his steel, sliding through them silent as a cat, his blade whistling left and right and up and down, drawing blood with every cut, slashing through their mail as if they had been clad in parchment. Mushroom, who claims to have seen the battle from the roof above, testifies that “it did not look so much like a swordfight as like a farmer reaping grain. With every stroke more stalks would topple, but these stalks were living men who screamed and cursed as they fell.” Ser Amaury’s men did not lack for courage, and some lived long enough to strike blows of their own, but the Shadow, always moving, caught their blades upon his shield, then used that shield to shove them backward, off the bridge onto the hungry iron spikes below.
Let this be said of Ser Amaury Peake: his dying did not disgrace the Kingsguard. Three of his men were dead upon the drawbridge and two more were twisting on the spikes below by the time Peake slid his own blade from its scabbard. “He was clad in white scale armor under his white cloak,” Mushroom tells us, “but his helm was openface and he had not brought a shield, and sorely did Sandoq make him answer for these lacks.” The Shadow made a dance of it, the fool says; betwixt each fresh wound he dealt Ser Amaury, he would kill one of his remaining minions before turning back to the white knight. Yet Peake fought on with stubborn valor, and near the end, for half a heartbeat, the gods gave him his chance when the last of the guards somehow got his hand around Sandoq’s sword, and ripped it from the Shadow’s grasp before he went tumbling off the bridge. From his knees, Ser Amaury staggered back to his feet and charged his unarmed foe.
Sandoq tore Viserys’s battleaxe from the wood where the prince had buried it and split Ser Amaury’s head and helm in half from crest to gorget. Leaving the corpse to topple onto the spikes, the Shadow paused long enough to shove the dead and dying from the drawbridge before retreating inside Maegor’s Holdfast, whereupon the king commanded the bridge to be raised, the portcullis lowered, and the gates barred. The castle-within-the-castle stood secure.
And so it would remain for eighteen days.
The rest of the Red Keep was in the hands of Ser Marston Waters and his Kingsguard, whilst beyond the castle walls Ser Lucas Leygood and his gold cloaks kept a firm grip on King’s Landing. Both of them presented themselves before the holdfast the next morning, to demand that the king leave his sanctuary. “Your Grace does us wrong to think we mean him harm,” Ser Marston said, as the corpses of the men Sandoq had slain were brought up from the moat. “We acted only to protect Your Grace from false friends and traitors. Ser Amaury was sworn to protect you, to give his own life for yours if need be. He was your leal man, as I am. He did not deserve such a death, at the hands of such a beast.” King Aegon was unmoved. “Sandoq is no beast,” he answered from the battlements. “He cannot speak, but he hears and he obeys. I commanded Ser Amaury to be gone, and he refused. My brother warned him what would happen if he stepped beyond the axe.
@Elder Lee Hung I'm pretty sure Sansa described Mace as a "once powerful man gone fat". So he was 99 percent a knight
