yeah it looks a lot better. Even disregarding the hair there is just something very... off, about the original Grand Order Lancelot's face. I think its maybe that one of his eyes seems to be going off in its own direction. 

[@PKMNB0Y][quote]Seeing both arguments, then, couldn't we have just had Sinfjotli be subpar and be as his stats are now, then?[/quote]

yeah that could work. We could say that his strength was B at the time regardless, and that his other stats jumped up to their current state, leaving the armwrestling match unaffected. Similar to how Arturia's strength usually stays around B regardless of whether or not her Master is Shirou or Kiritsugu, while her agility and Endurance rise.  

So, Amande Sinfijotli's stats could have been something like: Strength B, Endurance: C, Agility: B, Mana D, Luck E, while his stats under Merrodach without fame boost would be current as they are now, and his stats while in Scandinavia might be something like: Strength: B, Endurance: A, Agility: A, Mana: C, Luck: D
