I think it's time that the few people who have played one of the best RPG's (in my personal opinion) finally gets some recognition. Even though the game wasn't popular enough to get a large number of games like FF series, I still love it and will continue to love it.

^At 1:20 of the same tournament, you fight that archer dude. Before the fight even starts officially (your hp and what not don't show up yet), he has a cutscene where he declares he's about to attack and then does so immediately. After the attack is over the fight begins and you take the damage from it. So its an unavoidable cutscene attack.
Then when you beat him he confirms he hit you. "What a monster! Nobody should be able to get up after that!"
Another great Dart durability feat. Wow this stuff is pretty subtle actually.
Dart takes three slashes from the raptorial forelimbs of the green mantis like dragon known as Feyrbrand.
He takes two slashes from it starting at 5:01 when it appears and a third one at 5:48 just before Rose appears to help him.
This is an impressive durability feat because he's taking slashes from a beast shown to be strong enough to knock down trees and shake a small mountain causing rock slides.
When you fight Dart's father Zieg and you initially attack him with Dart, Zieg will be undamaged and talk trash at Dart and then do his final burst spell on Dart. Dart will then say "Darn! This is my Father's power?" confirming that it hit and did hurt--but obviously didn't incapacitate. So yeah, unavoidable cutscene attack against Dart.
^Oh and good reaction speed too near the beginning of the video where he dodges Zieg's slash.
