Piloting Mentality
The battle turned lop-sided as soon as the two opponents fought at close range.
Though it didn't look obvious at the start, the duel between the full-sized C-Man and the pint-sized Mars Project was unfair from the beginning.
The handicap of piloting a much smaller machine did not diminish Patriarch Reginald's skill and experience in the slightest!
While Reginald had to spend enough time with the scale model in order to become accustomed to its quirks and properties, once he got the hang of piloting such a tiny machine from a distance, he turned it into a terror that could not be caught!
After fighting against the C-man for a time, Reginald discovered that Vincent's expert mech was not that agile and quick to turn around.
If this was the case, then it became a lot easier to torment the C-Man. The scale model just had to circle around the larger machine and attack at angles where the ungainly mech was unprepared to defend against!
