You've done a good job paying attention, students. Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes! Observation Counter-Observation Insult Counter-Insult Abuse of Odin Acceptance of abuse and crappy role in life in general ...Stop that. Aww. We were just getting into it. This is me not caring. And besides, there's so much to talk about. For one thing, it's cold outside. Captialism is in full swing. I bought myself a new TV! I love me. MEEEEE I WANNNA HUUUUULLAAAA HOOOOOP! ....DIE! Oh come on, it's a Christmas Cla-THUD Begone, monster! Well, he can't be any worse than the movie's going to be. Still sucks almost as bad as Phantasy Star 2! Oh yeah, I went there. Here's hoping Rolf is a guest. And on that note, Welcome once again, readers, to Behind the Scenes! Here at the midpoint of Season 40, the fighters are raring and ready to go! But first, let's here what they have to say. Starting off with Godlike, as usual, here's our first guests, Rolf and Emily! Hey! You switched us out just so you could get Gilgamesh killed! SKREEEEEEEEEEEE Uh-huh. For one thing, one of you can't even talk, and for another thing, this is my show and I do what I want. And I reap the rewards. Well, Gilgamesh, allow me to retort. Meet me in the airfield lot after the show. Punk. Oooooh. Bit off more than you chew this time. Your game still sucks. Uh, anyway. Both you and Emily are known for high amounts of damage potential. Do you think you can get a Megid off before she punchs you into the stratosphere? Naturally. It's all a matter of timing. So of course you'd bet on the meatshield spy and not the person with years of martial arts training. Right. There's no way he's getting off a Megid before I get one of my combo's off, and he's not walking away from that. 'meatshield'? What did you think the rest of party was for? I...see. Odin, I'll give you five bucks if you take out Rolf. No way! I resent being cheap labor. Fine. Five pesos. It's a deal! Have at you! Hey! Knock it off! I'm outta here. Odin getting the crap beaten out of him. Will his suffering ever truly end? Of course not. Let's get the Heavies out here. Tch. Fools. Can we speed this up? The Xe-A-Thoul are in charge of my pet fish and I just don't trust those guys. How do you guys see the battle going? My Star Rune should be more than enough to take care of this..filth. Whatever, lady. There's no way you can hold up to my damage output, especially since you're a Suikoden Mage. A few meteor's on the head will put an end to your nonsense. You'll need more than some silly marble to deal with the likes of me. Is that the sound of goldfish starving? Wha..? I KNEW IT! DAMN! HOLD ON MR. BLINKY FINS, I'M COMING FOR YOU! Can't believe I even agreed to this. Get out of the way, skull. I like this one. Me too. Have a nice day. Alright, good work Odin. I'll pay you tomorrow. All in a day's work. Emily went off to go punch things until they stop moving. Is it my turn yet? NINJA! SLICE! JUMP! STAB! I thought he was silent. One-track mind, those people. Eh, whatever. The match, people? He's pretty fast, but not very durable. I can definitely take him out in time. SHURIKEN NINJA MAGICAL WALL-RUNNING Anybody speak the Ninja Dog language? Nope. Not even close, chief. EXPLOSION STAB DINOSAUR KATANA I wasn't asking....urgh. Just get out. Well, back to training. Weird guy. Decent game, though. I...I've never played it. WHAT!? I never even played a Nintendo. WHAT!? And...I never knew true love. Eh. Well, we've kept the Lights waiting long enough. It smells really bad in there. Are Pikachus potty-trained? ... Hey, it's Serph. ALL HAIL SERPH! What. Serph is unstoppable. Wait, that's Serph? Oh man, I'm in trouble. ... His eyes. They STARE THROUGH ME. Gettin' creepy. The match, Kinnison? How can anyone compare to the almighty Serph? I am merely glad I am given the chance to witness true combat mastery in action. If you'll excuse me, I have to go cry myself to sleep. ... ALL HAIL SERPH! STOP THAT! I have witnessed true power. The power...OF SERPH! ... Okay, that's enough. I'm out of here. ALL HAIL SERPH! ... I knew this was a bad idea. Well, with our cameraman gone there's no real point in continuing. Wrap it up, Chisato. Um..that's all we have for you this week, readers. Tune in next time for the inevitable triumph of Ser-I mean the Semifinals of Season 40. I'm gonna go get drunk. Sounds like a plan. ALL HAIL SERPH! ...
