Week 1 - Eliminations




Zophar (Lunar2) Zophar vs Yuri Volte Hyuga Yuri Volte Hyuga (SHs)

Cmdr_King
Yuri Hyuga. Godslayer. Master of the Seraphic Radiance. Defender of Earth (although he'd adamantly refuse being affiliated with ANOTHER crackpot superhero again, doesn't change the facts of the matter). The Dark God Zophar may well be a bit higher on the foodchain than the typical god of the Shadow Hearts world, but it's still the sort of battle Yuri's built his career out of.
This, of course, means that he eventually got someone to employ him to do it. This also means he can take personal days.
Having realized all this sometime during the off season, Yuri took time to finally wed long-time gal Alice Elliot. The date was set six months in advance, since Yuri never dreamed he's have a job on this particular week. And even if it is Zophar, well, sometimes your long-time gal can be one hell of a lot scarier than some Dark God.
Besides, you can't save the world every time it's in danger. You have to sleep sometime.

Zophar: 43
Yuri Volte Hyuga: 22

Adumbro Deus
From the moment the contestants walked in everyone knew that this would be epic. The crowd was hushed, and then, it was on!

Yuri began by transforming into Seraphic Radiance and using "For Everyone" to increase his abilities before attacking the dark god. Zophar came prepared however, and knew how Yuri fought and what his weakeness was, sp. If his sp ran out, Zophar knew that Yuri would go insane and be unable to effectively fight, so he played defensively, attempting to wear Yuri down.

As the battle went on, Yuri began to to realize that he was in danger of losing, he was running out of sp. Before now, he was concentrating on making his attacks hit, but now he needed to make a gamble. He used up "For the Children", concentrating on making the perfect strike, he suceeded.

The Magic of Seraphic Radiance rammed through Zophar's defenses, dealing enormous damage. After that, Zophar was far too weak to put up more then a token resistance, Yuri had won.

sdf
Damn it all to hell. Yuri, my favorite character of all time, gets into the rpgdl and he has to face Zophar. He has no chance.

ngod2comcast.net
Yuri, ur really awsome, but im not thinking that even amon can stand up to zophar.




Chris Lightfellow (S3) Chris Lightfellow vs Evans Evans (BoF2)

Dunefar
True Water Rune.

Deathevans is a creature of lies and death. His name fails in the face of the word 'True', let alone Silent Lake, massive criticals, and Chris having a defense score that would make an iron wall weep.

At least Deathevans can go get drunk with Melbu Frahma after and lament about endurance not bearing out against real power.

Chris Lightfellow: 49
Evans: 17


Garan (SH2) Garan vs Geshp Geshp (SF2)

SageAcrin
It was a fierce battle.

Garan nulled Geshp's magic, had powerful magic of his own at his fingertips, and the ability to confound his opponent's mind with devious traps.

But Geshp had two powerful motivations, and dedication brings strength.

As Geshp watched Garan's battered form float slowly out of an exit to the arena, in defeat... he smiled broadly, for the first time anyone was aware of. Including himself.

Not only had Geshp struck a blow against being just "That godlike that lost to Serge.", he finally knew where to get one of those pillows.

Garan: 13
Geshp: 35


Tir McDohl (Suikos) Tir McDohl vs Orlandu, Cidolfas Orlandu, Cidolfas (FFT)

hooah
Cid is strong, sure. But Tir is the bestest anti-PC character out there.

Win goes to Tir, who will most likely lose in the next round.

Tir McDohl: 43
Orlandu, Cidolfas: 36

Halbarad
Die, Tir. DIE IN OBSCURITY.





Jack van Burace (WA) Jack van Burace vs Rune Walsh Rune Walsh (PS4)

superaielman
Rune smiled in pure satisfaction. There was no way Justin would be able to attend this match and screw things up. He contracted out a dozen villians of known vile repute to harass and annoy the meddling adventuresome young man, with no possible way to trace it back to him. Oh, that foolish girl would suspect, but Feena couldn't do anything without proof. He had even calculated the battle down to a simple formula. Turtling behind his shields, Rune could just withstand the wrath of Jack.. and then, well, what happened to -anyone- who dared enter battle with the sexily perfect Esper?

Defeat, of course.

Glancing at a clock, Rune smirked. Only a couple minutes before his fight. Time to prepare. As usual, Rune ignored his Laconian Staff, in favor of a pair of bright, shining Silver Shields...that weren't in his room. Panicking, Rune looked around for some type of shield. All he found was a couple of old staves, and a handwritten note on his dresser. Rune glanced at the note, wondering if it would shed light on the situation. And lo..

"Dear Rune,

You think I wouldn't figure out who sent half of Middle's bosses after Justin? Nice try, but it's wishful thinking to hope that'll stop him. Speaking of thinking, perhaps you shouldn't broadcast such thoughts in public.. especially when you still owe your yearly dues to the DL Mensa club? I'm a forgiving person, so there's no hard feelings for this latest stunt. I'm so nice, in fact, that I arranged for your debt to be paid off. Of course, I had to pawn your prized shields.. have fun fighting Mr. Burace without them!

Yours truly,

Feena.

PS: Mewtwo sends his regards. Don't try stiffing him again.

Rune went several shales paler. "My.. shields? How am I supposed to win without them?" He had no time to purchase new ones, either. "Guess I'll just have to do my best.."


Rune sighed when he entered the ring. In the front row sat Justin and Feena, chatting and waving to him. Behind them stood the entire Duelling League Mensa club, sans President Mewtwo. "Humilation on top of everything else.." Rune shrugged, and knew he only had one chance at victory. Dropping any pretense of defense, he charged into the ring, and fired off a Legion before Jack had so much as even raised his weapon. Legion burned Jack. Following it up with a Nafoi dropped Jack to the floor, near death. Rune grinned. "That wasn't so hard." The Esper walked over to Feena and Justin, and began taunting. "You steal from me, you try to drive me insane, and you even conspire with my enemies to bring me down. Wait... I was going off to pay that bill when Melbu and Baal attacked!"

To his horror, Rune saw Feena reach into her blouse and pull out a stack Meseta, bound by Rune's notary sigil. Instead of taunting, Feena just laughed and pointed right behind Rune. Spinning on his heels, Rune saw that he hadn't quite finished off the dream chaser. Jack stood on one knee, and had his sword in hand. A ball of energy was spinning towards Rune..

And all was dark.

Jack van Burace: 35
Rune Walsh: 22

Adumbro Deus
The battle soon became one of attrition, Jack's Sword and Techs vs. Rune's magic, round after round of back and forth between the two. Finally, both combatants fell, but after what seemed like an eternity, Jack rose while Rune still lay prone, it was over.




Culgan (S2) Culgan vs Galam Galam (SF2)

Jo'ou Ranbu
It was horrific.

The posters went all-out, announcing a big, sexy and mind-blowing T-Shirt contest, sponsored by Kefka, Valvalis and Loki. Every single non-Suikoden, non-Lucius-Raven-Legault male in the DL wanted to see what that was all about. Well, and Seed. But god knows what Seed was going to do in that contest.

In the contest place (a single, rather flashy bar called White Wolf Ugly), the audience was going wild with the curtains closed. They badly wanted to see the contestants - after all, the DL was clad with girls people want to see in their most beautiful, or whatever. Which made the reactions to the actual contest even more terrible.

As the curtains were drawn, the whistles of excitement were replaced by gasps and awkward silence. The contestants were... King Galam and Culgan. Apparently, their DL match was replaced by a contest, like it happens often in the arena. Just... not like that.

Between Galam's pointless efforts to do sexy poses as he danced the Macarena under a stream of water and Culgan's wet catwalking under the applause of Seed, the sea of deceived testosterone present in that bar exploded into a mass slaughter. Chairs were burned, wet t-shirts were torn into shreds and the contestants were ripped into tiny flesh ribbons. After the disaster, Kefka, Valvalis and Loki went to the destroyed "arena" to see the results of their prank.

Seeing how Galam's ripped, soaked body was the only one present at the stands (apparently, Seed took Culgan's remains to a healer ASAP), they declared the deranged king the winner of the match. And The King of Wet T-Shirts. Which, unfortunately, led post-revival Galam to replace his regal robe with a perenially wet, tiny pink tank-top with the writings "I'm Too Sexy" on it. The pranksters had their work done perfectly, albeit not without some side-effects.

They probably don't care, either.

Culgan: 24
Galam: 29


Lloyd Irving (ToS) Lloyd Irving vs Bowie Bowie (SF2)

RadLink5
In the time it took me to figure out who to vote for in Lloyd vs. Bowie I could've saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Anyway Lloyd has the disadvantage in Endurance and damage but he has a HUGE advantage in speed and makes Bolt worthless. So I say he should win this one by a bit.

Lloyd Irving: 30
Bowie: 18


Veronica Vera (SH2) Veronica Vera vs Dycedarg Beoulve Dycedarg Beoulve (FFT)

Adumbro Deus
Both fighters came out cool, confident. Both were expecting victory, however one of them had another thing coming. Dycedarg's holy explosion came as quite a shot to Veronica, especially due to it's unique effectiveness against her due to her demonic nature. Eventually, that as well as Dycedarg's superior swordsmanship, laid Veronica to rest.

Veronica Vera: 9
Dycedarg Beoulve: 55




Jet Enduro (WA3) Jet Enduro vs Gryz Gryz (PS4)

Grefter
Gryz continues on his streak of bug squashing. Huzzah and all that. Considered one of the worse people in his game, but so what? Nothing like be a lame member from a horribly overly effective cast that kills stuff dead in general. Oh and there is Raja, but no one cares. Also, Jet blows. Nice to see him getting kicked around, now for Gryz to lose and maybe we can get Jet down to where he belongs. He went down faster here than Paris Hilton on an overweight underendowed personal trainer (so 10 seconds), I am talking he didn't even get out one "ROFL BOOM HEADSHOT LOL!" before getting Gryz' axe in his skull.

Jet Enduro: 19
Gryz: 39

Adumbro Deus
Poor little Gryz doesn't realize that axes aren't good to use against gun-fighters. He also learns that keeping away from gunfighters when you don't have a ranged weapon yourself is also a bad idea. Unfortunatly, this lesson is learned too lated to be usefull, and Jet puts more then enough shots through him to end this battle.




Duke (S3) Duke vs Cait Sith Cait Sith (FF7)

Jo'ou Ranbu
The RPGDL Times found out recently, from a very reliable, albeit insane source, that Cait Sith wasn't a creature of science, but a wonder of magic. Apparently, Reeve, former Shinra employee and the mind behind the seering kitty, has a supernatural power that breathes life into non-living objects and such. And Reeve also can control those creatures wherever he may be.

To the shock of many, however, Reeve was in a rather feisty mood these days. Cait's match against Duke was unsurprisingly short: the cat miniaturizes the old, pathetic mercenary, game, set, match. What happened after that, though... Cait Sith just took the merc onto his hands, a mishievous look in his eyes. And, at night, the screeches of pain from Duke were nothing but a pale tint.

Now. Duke is known as a scantily dressed, heavily packed on make-up mini blow-up doll called Fiorina, who sings "The Birdcage"'s theme song to hapless onlookers outside Zalbard's apartment window in the Shining Force headquarters.

Reeve must be sitting at home and laughing his heart out right now.

Duke: 23
Cait Sith: 52


Tolone (XG) Tolone vs Anri Anri (SF1)

SageAcrin
Poor Anri.

She made the mistake of trying to pump Seraphita for information on Tolone's weaknesses.

No one's ever been able to figure out quite what Seraphita told Anri, besides the tight-lipped Anri(Seraphita herself forgot rather quickly.), but the facts are clear.

Anri entered the Arena in a giant chicken suit and started polkaing.

Shortly thereafter, she was blown out of the arena. Evidently, the wings caught the wind magic quite well.

That Anri soared majestically for a few minutes, scared out of her mind, and ended up landing on the roof of Chisato's house babbling in fear, made this doubly unfortunate. The news didn't take long to spread from there.

Though, Anri did get her revenge, by telling Seraphita that there was an awesome treasure to be found in Albedo's room. But that's another story.

Tolone: 37
Anri: 15


Mishaela (SF1) Mishaela vs Dekar Dekar (Lufia2)

Jo'ou Ranbu
Mishaela, as we all know, is a smart lady.

Researching upon the subject of Dekar, she quickly realized he was stupid as stupid could get. And she also noted he was too damn dense to realize any kind of stunt she could pull on him.

Which means it was time she had some fun on Dekar's expenses. And it didn't even need to be much. At the match, she taunted the soldier into hitting her. And he obviously took it. As he swung his heavy axe towards the sorceress, she disappeared, leaving an illusionary trace behind.

Dekar didn't realize that.

He also didn't notice that, after the first swing, all he was pointlessly trying to pound into the ground was a wooden marionette, which Mishaela manipulated gleefully, cup of coffee in hand.

That lasted for a few hours. After that, the judges, tired of Dekar's absolute display of sensitivity, just gave the match to Mishaela.

However, the DL Committee of Animal Rights sent an angry letter to the sorceress, threatening a sue over the pledge of cruelty to animals in a match if she didn't hand over her victory. And, while Mishaela is smart, she isn't rich. She took her formal forfeit to the DL Legality section and had to watch the dumb swordsman get his first victory in the League. Apparently, stupidity can get you far sometimes.

It was good while it lasted, though. And, if anything else, she took console in the backhanded compliment that Dekar received from the same committee that saved his ass in the Arena.

Mishaela: 13
Dekar: 38




Wakaba (S2) Wakaba vs Tellah Tellah (FF4)

Grefter
Right at the start of the match Tellah declared that he refused to hit a girl. This stunning event of an opponent actually recognising her gender stunned Wakaba so badly that she could not move and Tellah was going to be declared victor be default and well played trickery. Then he went to take a step towards the victory podium and promptly exploded. Wakaba was declared the victor. Later examinations showed that the ground connecting with his foot proved to much for the old man and ripped out all his hit points in one step. This is truely a victory for all fans of Newton and apples.

Wakaba: 42
Tellah: 36


Lino en Kuldes (S4) Lino en Kuldes vs Adray Lasbard Adray Lasbard (SO3)

OblivionKnight
"So...what you're proposing to me, old man, is that I propose to your daughter and throw the match because you're giving me such a 'wonderful prize'?" Lino glared at the last two words, as he eyed Adray up.

"That's it!" the old man yelled out in glee. It was an interesting situation, at the least: Adray had approached Lino nine times before the match about marrying his daughter, and now, when the match was actually underway, he still insisted on trying to marry off his daughter. Of course, Lino wasn't interested.

"How in the name of the runes would you...ever conceive I'd do that? I don't care about marriage! I have a battle to fight! And win, you old coot!"

"But how can you resist such a beautiful woman?! Are you just hiding something, Mr. I-Love-Rainbows?"

"ME!? Haven't you ever looked at your daughter? She's never played "shiver-me-timbers"! Come on, don't tell me you're blind!"

"She's told me she's not a fan of the timber. She's not much of a sailor"

Lino's mouth hung open. His eyes bulged out, and his mind started to spin. Was this old man really that dense?

"Look," Lino started, "I don't know if anyone's ever told you this, but I can't marry your daughter because she's not ready to get married to a man yet"

Adray laughed. "Oh, she will be when I tell her to. And you look like a strong, healthy man that'll help bear many grandchildren for me!"

Lino, now, was becoming visibly red. "Come on! Can't you see? She's not on the side most women are! Haven't you seen her with Nel!?"

"Nel? Yeah, they're great friends. I wish they'd both settle down with a nice man, though. Like you!"

Lino was now completely red, and angry. "Look old man! Claire would never marry me! You know why? Because she's a L-E-S-B..."

But Lino never finished the phrase. Hearing the words he had heard many times before regarding his beloved daughter, the stalwart warrior charged at Lino before he could raise his spear. A flurry of sword blows, as well as a Southern Cross and finishing the spectacle with an Emotion Torrent, and Adray stepped back from the gaping hole where Lino once stood.

"Eh, perhaps he wasn't right for my daughter after-all. Now, who's my next opponent...

Lino en Kuldes: 14
Adray Lasbard: 33


White Wizard (FF1) White Wizard vs Sue Sue (G1)

Grefter
So they exchange blunts for a while, White Mage's supply of "mana" proves to great and Sue's stocks run out sooner. Her loss is declared after consuming Puffy in a fit of the munchies.

White Wizard: 59
Sue: 15

Jo'ou Ranbu
... God have mercy on WW's generic soul if she loses to Sue. Not even Chrono Cross scrubs deserve such an ill fate. And we know that happened before.

Adumbro Deus
Well, white Wizard certainly is a powerful healer, but you have to be able to do more then heal to win. Especially with low hp and defense.

The battle resulted in white wizard using holy the first turn and then healing the damage Sue did the round before, every single round, until she ran out of mp. Then she tried to get a few hits in before Sue ended the battle.




Isadora (FE7) Isadora vs Kahn Kahn (BoF4)

superaielman
Kahn fails. His damage, durability, and general worth are nil. However, he fails while doing one thing right: Being an obnoxious twerp. The power of his warbling, annoying tone will drive the normally stoic Isadora insane, and cause her to slaughter half of Godlike in sheer frustration, getting herself killed before the match starts.

However, this only makes Kahn's self hype worse, as Shout now has an apparent use in a duel!

Isadora: 29
Kahn: 42

Adumbro Deus
Unfortunatly, Isadora is way out of her league, she always is for that matter. Whenever she arrives, she is never strong enough to compete, not even against the pififul Marcus.

So, it ends up that Kahn doesn't even have to really attack, he just playfully pokes her with a stick, and she faints. Kahn is certainly quizziled by his rival's lack of ability, but accepts the victory.


WE ARE THE LOSERS!
