I, Kazan, bid you welcome to the RPG Dueling League, dedicated to the art of pitting the greatest warriors of the RPG Multiverse against each other in honourable combat! Within lies the greatest showcase of fighting talent you will ever lay your eyes upon!


Here, you will be able to vote on a series of Battles. weekly where the greatest warriors will square off in combat! Fighters are split into divisions, aptly named for the fighting prowess of those within. The victors each week continue on in a typical eliminations-style tournament, until a victor is crowned champion of each division. Here, you'll also find exciting bonus matches and other spectacles to seduce your battle-starved souls, enough honourable combat to fill even an old man like me with joy! Questions? Go here!

The DL is more than answering the question of how fighters stack up. It's a repository of information about RPG's varying from the obscure to the well known. Every bit of data gathered from every dank duengon and musty library in the RPG universe is gathered here. If you youngsters want to talk about any RPG of any stripe, you're welcome here. Check out this center of learning and find out new information about your favorite games!


You've done a good job paying attention, students. Here's the news for Season 52:

Wild ARMs 5 and Persona 4 seek admission into the league. Will these games make the final cut? Can all the cast members, from Souji to Rebecca, earn admission to the DL? Find out by reading and voting in the second ranking topic! Choose wisely, students, and help us decide if these games deserve to be admitted to the RPG Duelling League.

Looking to make an impact? Have an opinion about a fight, or merely wish to tell a story about how your favorite fighter wins (Or how that dishonorable hated fighter loses?) Send in a comment on a fight this week! The fans who come to vote and write create some of the magic of our universe. If not for your contributions, we would not have seen the 'magical' side of Ghaleon, nor seen the fate that befell Zidane when he tried to outsmart Fou-Lu. So send in a writeup today, and help make the site a better place!

Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes!
Ah, time for this again.
Week 4.
When the fights get real, and the writers start scraping the bottom of the barrel for gags.
AHHHH THERE'S A GIANT JELLYFISH ON MY HEAD!!!!
Oh Odin!
Well, that sure was zany and off the wall, wasn't it? Let's get started. Welcome back, Readers. As you well know, it's Week 4 time here at the DL, and we're down to 8 competitors per divsion. Who will win? Who will lose? Who can stand Frank's presence for more than a few minutes? All these questions and more will never be answered by this show! And on that note, please welcome Zophar and Mewtwo!
Fate Storm strikes again!
Pah! You're just jealous of my unmatched power!
You have 3 more useful abilities than he does. Cecillia you ain't.
Then you know of my powers? I'm surprised you don't run screaming in terror now!
Probably for the best. Get lost, Zophar.
You haven't seen the last of me!
Yeah, but I can dream, can't I? Anyway, let's have a warm round of applause for Serge and Asellus!
...
Can't say I don't mind an easy win.
Gotta love silent mains. Well, Aseullus, the floor is yours.
Thank you. I'm well aware of Serge and his Masamune, but frankly my Mystic and Human abilities should be plenty to handle him. And it's not like he can retort, can he?
Arguing with a silent main is like arguing with a wall. You can claim to win, but who really knows?
It's also a good reason to become committed.
Luckily at the DL the inmates not only run the asylum but run a few theme parks nearby. We're making good time today, let's carry on with Middle.
Yep, it's me again.
You know, whenever I see Zophar around I realize how glad I am that I didn't get a cameo or anything in Eternal Blue. Because man, that sort of hideousness haunts your dreams.
Sure, I could have a personality, but who would know? I'm a needle in a stack of 108 needles.
Ah, well, I'll just paralyze this guy and move on. Just how it goes. But seriously, Zophar? Makes me want to puke.
I could have been a part of the main cast, I guess, but nooooooo, just had to get one more mute pretty boy and his gang of teenage numbskulls. Had to wait until the 4th game to make a game more focused on pirates.
I feel your pain, man. We need more pirate based RPGs.
Ah well, it's not that bad. I could be one of those random guys whose only purpose is to change the window color for text boxes. What kind of life is that? I guess I'll be leaving now.
Me too. This hair won't gell itself.
And to cap things off we have...
A charming rogue!
The other other Lunar character!
Hurray. Let's have it, then.
I do decent damage with my knife. Lousy no Esper rule.
With my stat buffs and magic, it's hard to top me.
Except for, oh, 95% of Middle and up.
A minor detail.
Yep, sure do love doing nothing but attack.
Well, you could be Umaro.
True, but I'd rather aspire to be more than someone who comforts himself by remembering he's not a giant worthless yeti.
You've got a point there. But hey, at least your death will be quick and painless.
Oh please. I handle wussy mages like you on my day's off from kicking ass.
Save it for the arena, people. Nate's been getting nuts about the repair budget lately.
And that's a wrap! Now who wants to go pick on Esper-less FF6 scrubs?
You had me at 'pick-on'.
Sure, why not.
Do you think I can ramp off them on my bike?
I don't see why we can't find out. As for you, readers, thanks once again for reading Behind the Scenes, and I hope to see you again next week! Bye!
