I don't know about you, signors, but the first week of a new season in the glorious Monstrous Pit infuses me with so much GUSTO that it's all I can do to stand still! The fights! The crowds! The intrigue! WHAT A WEEK, SIGNORS! Still, here are the Results for the conclusion of Season 34.
**Importantion information for newcomers! Please click This Link to go to a post made by our moderators that should hopefully answer several of your questions! If you have any more, simply feel free to go to the forums and ask!** Many of you already know Nate from his appearance in Behind the Scenes. In addition to being filthy rich and able to keep that group of rabble in line, Nate is also quite the fighter. His useful Persona allow him to block many dangerous attacks, and the abilities granted from his magical powers make him quite the force to be reckoned with. A relatively fresh face in the arena, Nate should be quite capable of handling himself, though you could say the same thing about X-Death! The brunt of many tree jokes, the final boss of Final Fantasy V is still a deserving Godlike, with his gobs of HP and punishing attacks that are a staple of that series. Of course, Nate might prove to be tricky to damage, but X-death has a pretty varied skillset, after all. On the flip side, can Nate get through that HP without running out of resources? I guess we'll see, ay? In Heavy, this week, we have a match of entirely new blood. Marcello, from Dragon Quest 8, is coming into this match with his double-acting boss form, using both his rapier and the magical staff that was the source of so many troubles. Ernst is from Suikoden V, and has his human form with its various skills and abilities. The most important of which stuns any opponent in the game for one turn. This may be what he needs to get the edge on Marcello, but don't forget that he has those double acts, and once you get past Ernst's abilites he's quite frail, which is good for Marcello because his damage is only so-so for a Heavy. Both are eager to prove themselves in the Monstrous Pit, which should make this match a good one, signors! Karsh hails from CC, but the stigma surrounding that cast's duelling strength has not touched him whatsoever, and for good reason, as he is quite the capable contestant. But Beowulf is no slouch either. Karsh can't heal, but Beowulf can use his draining ability to both heal his own wounds and inflict new ones on his opponent..assuming he can hit him, which is never sure! In addition, he can try his various status moves, which could end the fight or merely waste turns, depending upon the hitrate. Meanwhile, Karsh does his usual axe-swinging and hopes that he hits the crunchy bits before his HP runs out. If he gets Beowulf on the defensive early, he could very well dominate this match and come out the victor. But there's no saying what can happen in the Monstrous Pit, as you know. Ard is a man of few words. As the silent part of his duo, he is also the main muscle, and his Dump Truck Tackle proves that he can mix it up as well as any mini-boss. He's also slow, which gives his opponent, the ultra-speedy but frail Jane Maxwell, an advantage. She should be able to double-turn Ard constantly, and while her individual shots don't do much damage, it adds up quite quickly. All the same, Ard only has to get in a few shots in order to put Jane in serious trouble, which puts all her advantages to naught. Still, it's much easier said than done, and if Jane manages to get her ID Blown Away attack or dodge some attacks, Ard may be given several new, bleeding holds courtesy of Jane's ARM. In addition to the above, we have plenty more matches waiting for you in the confines of the Monstrous Pit! Week 1 has plenty in store for you, so it's understandable if you're a little confused about the matches. In that case, stop by the Season 35, Week 1 Topic! **Everyone, listen!
