Week 3 - Quarterfinals




Yuna (FFX) Yuna vs Citan Uzuki (Hyuga Ricdeau) Citan Uzuki (Hyuga Ricdeau) (XG)

Tylor H
Citan, an expert of manipulation and planning, took the same meticulous care in the preparation of this match as he would in any other match. And so, when he arrived, he not only had started in motion three separate plans, but had a full dozen contingency plans for almost anything Yuna could do.

Of course, Yuna's also experienced master manipulators before. As well as ancient plots and conspiracies, and has broken them all to pieces with one simple bit of wisdom.

Get as much force as you can, and then hit it until it stops moving.

And, as smart as Citan might be, with the Aeons at her disposal, there's not much he can actually do to deal with that plan.

Yuna: 43
Citan Uzuki (Hyuga Ricdeau): 24

spawnofthejudge
"I guess it's not quite unexpected, is it? That the match came down to which of them would be forced to fight as themselves instead of their 'substitutes'?"

"That's right, Jim. This match, which has been now underway thirty-seven hours without a break, still has not forced either Citan out of his gigantic robot, nor has Yuna run out of Aeons. Both combatants are masters of stalling it seems."

"Oh my! It seems that Yuna has nodded off! Her aeon is no longer moving, as it is no longer receiving any commands! For staying up later, it seems that Dr. Uzuki has this match."

"It's a good thing we could go sleep and have people take over for us, or we would also be asleep, Jim."




Gades (Lufias) Gades vs Lady Lady (SH3)

Monkeyfinger
Gades. Towering Lord of destruction. Lady. Cute, harmless looking little incarnation of malice and hatred. Could there be a.... thing brewing between them?

Lady was the only person to show up to their match. Gades couldn't, due to a serious case of dead. Got his throat slashed ear-to-ear a few hours beforehand, see. Lady won't get to lay her eyes on the towering sinistral this day, I guess... which is exactly how Killer wants it.

Gades: 15
Lady: 36


False Althena (Lunar2) False Althena vs Miguel Miguel (CC)

superaielman
Miguel flipped the dial on his small portable radio. He hadn't spent much time in the arena since his victory like some fighters would. He could train and train and probably wouldn't help him at all against False Althena, who's overwhelming assault made Miguel's odds of victory pretty poor. And so Leena's peaceful father did what he does best- put up his feet and cast out a line. The dead sea bass were really biting today.

"Mmm. Let's see what's the latest DL news." *Flick*

"...Kirby Invasion.. Sheena lost, assumed to be lunch... Edge Eblan vows revenge after Waddle-dee Zerg Rush.." *Flick*

Miguel felt a gentle tug at the line. Mmm, fish were really biting.. and odds are his fight with FA would be bloody and short. So peaceful at sea. No screaming fake goddesses or drama queens, just the sun and waves and the gentle touch of nature. There was always next time for a chance at glorious combat, who knows how long perfect weather like this would last?

Reeling in the bass with the barest of efforts, Miguel smiled and began cutting up the fish. Yes, he'd skip the fight. He could get in at least one good nap in the time it'd take to go there and fight.. and the weather was perfect. Miguel put the remains of his fish on ice, and cast his line out to sea. Putting his hat over his head, he closed his eyes and waited for the next nibble.

It's going to be a good day.

False Althena: 42
Miguel: 19

legendaryflyingfailure
It never pays to utilize physical damage against a character who hails from a game where physical damage is VASTLY inferior to its magical counterpart.

Also, four words.

Holy

Dragon

Sword.

Alright three.

I never was any good with math.




Rika (PS4) Rika vs Ryu Ryu (BoF4)

Taishyr
This match, like its predecessor, was immensely simple.

Rika entered, steeled for all possible outcomes, hair tied back with a simple blue bow. Ryu transformed into the renowned Stardrop form, and Rika dropped her weapons and ran to hug it.

This time doing so from behind.

Ghaleon gave a lazy grin as he watched Ryu4 flail around, attempting to hit Rika with his breath as she held on tightly. The audience screamed a bit, before gasping audibly as Ryu4 suddenly fainted. Rika picked up the dragon with an oomph and began to drag him off...

"As much as I'm amused at this... possible courtship ritual, Rika, I don't think I can let you take him ou...t..." Ghaleon faltered at the look in Rika's eyes. A wide smile from the Numan, then:

"I'm gonna make him a stuffed dragon and love him and hug him and never let him go!"

Only then did Ghaleon notice the skull on the bow in Rika's hair...

Rika: 31
Ryu: 28




Sir Leopold (DQ8) Sir Leopold vs Farah Oersted Farah Oersted (ToE)

SageAcrin
Rend.

Slaughter.

Devour your enemies.

There is no other way to survive...

You cannot escape your hunger...

---

"...urk...remind...remind me...to hit...Jenna...oh god..." Chaz Ashley said, as he proceeded to noisely vomit out of his judges box.

"...that...is the most...horrific...thing I have seen in many years." Lenneth Valkyrie noted. "To think, that Jenna Angel could be amused by teaching a demonic dog such a brutal and horrific tactic as....as...."

Gilbert simply took down notes.

They managed to revive Farah three or four days later. They didn't have the heart to tell her what happened after she blacked out.

Or what they revived her from.

Leopold's pretty happy with himself, overall... but ultimately, he decided it wasn't an everyday tactic.

For one thing, Farah wasn't nearly tender enough to make that a good idea. And too much gristle.

Sir Leopold: 27
Farah Oersted: 16


Sharon (LoL2) Sharon vs Largo Largo (TotA)

SageAcrin
Many times, reputations are unfairly earned.

Largo had a reputation.

Peerless fighter.

Fair, yet dedicated to his goals. Stoic, self-assured.

Today, he earned more of a reputation.

---

"...it...it was a flu-" Largo stammered.

"You bastard!" Sharon shrieked, as she backhanded Largo across the face.

Then, realizing the action had caused her to drop the top she was holding on, blushed and fled the arena.

"...but...I mean...but...but..." Largo stammered still, the handprint reddening his face.

Certainly, Largo's slash had been intended to split Sharon's head, not her bikini.

But no one will ever believe that, now will they?

Maybe not even Largo...after all, that is a pretty big miss, isn't it?

Sharon: 14
Largo: 28


Arc Eda Ricolne (AtLC) Arc Eda Ricolne vs Neclord Neclord (Suikos)

Djinn
Arc, one of those innocent humans who makes it his business to slay such beasts as monsters and vampires.

Really, this fight would have occurred without the League. It was only a matter of time. In fact, both of them had been preparing for the day for a long time.

Arc:
Learn Holy Magic from a Priestess? Check.
Garlic and Crosses? Check.
Holier-than-thou attitude? Check.

Neclord:
Get used to Sunlight? Check.
Sharpen Fangs for Arc the Snack? Check.
Kidnapped Priestess for Hostage Scenario? Check.

If only he had remembered to get his True rune back from Sierra...

Arc Eda Ricolne: 33
Neclord: 19

Jatsuya
I believe the power of the Ark will be enough to dispel the invincibility of Neclord, easily then proving that Arc has enough power to finish off Neclord.




Articuno (PKMN) Articuno vs Sync Sync (TotA)

Djinn
Thousands of Articuno fans filled the stadium this day to witness the Ice bird's exciting match. Would Articuno be crowned the winner against the Elite Four?

Eh... He might! But he'll have to visit the Pokemon center first after his crushing defeat against the God-General of Emo.

Articuno: 19
Sync: 32




Ramza Beoulve (FFT) Ramza Beoulve vs Lani Lani (FF9)

DragonKnight Zero
Whatever can be said about Ramza, he does his homework. As such, he had studied Lani's battle capabilities extensively but had to admit he was outmatched after one discovery.

Lani's axe does not randomly do crap damage.

Seeking her out, he mentioned that she deserved to win and proposed a solution that would be less painful for the both of them. Due to her time with the Moogles in Madain Sari, Lani was actually glad to have a way out from a bloody brawl. Going to the judges to make arrangments, their proposal accepted by a narrow majority.

The match took place behind closed doors . No spectators were present save for the witnessing judges. The pace was frenzied; the combatants intense. Eventually, the contest died down and it was clear Lani was the victor.

"You won't tell anyone we did this, will you? I have an image to maintain."
"Fine by me. Good match."
"You too."
With that, the two walked away from the table where Hungry Hungry Hippos was laid out.

"That was stupid." grumbled Kefka. "No blood, no pain, no nothing. You two pretty boys had to ruin all the fun." he continued, glaring at Kuja and Seymour, who had voted in favor of the proposal.

Ramza Beoulve: 38
Lani: 40


Venusaur (PKMN) Venusaur vs Yuki Yuki (G3)

Meeplelard
"...can someone tell me what just happened?" Rolf said, from the judges box

"A horrible plane crash that I swear I didn't cause, uwhehehe!" Kefka replied.

"Besides that, I mean" said Rolf.

"Well...uhh...seems Yuki wanted to make an entrance...one that would pale in comparison to anything I could do, since I'm the best. But anyway, the result ended up in destroying not only the ring, but BOTH himself and his opponent?" followed up Jecht.

"So how do we decide who wins?" said Rolf.

"How about we decide based on the successfulness of Edge's next inevitable scheme?" said Jecht.

"Needs more fire...but I'm at a loss for things, so that works!" said Kefka.

Venusaur: 18
Yuki: 33

hyper.inferno@gmail.com
Yuki has an attack called Blade Storm. It involves him slicing things very fast with a sword. Venusaur is partially a plant. Something's getting pruned.




Sheena Lepant (Suikos) Sheena Lepant vs Alice Elliot Alice Elliot (SH1)

SageAcrin
"...damnit. I'm still worried." Yuri said to Edge, sighing, as he watched people file into the arena, before Alice's match.

"Man, I didn't think you were this dedicated to her." Edge said, half-questioningly. "When the hell'd this happen?"

"...It's complicated. You know that."

"You go out with Karin, Alice kills you. You go out with Alice, Karin kills you. You go out with anyone else, they both kill you unless you keep it secret but they're too devoted to you to actually hold anything against you. Not that complicated." Edge shrugged. "Which I have to add really pisses me off. Why the hell can't Rydia just beat me up and forget?"

"You know, the only real difference is that she can have a dragon rip you and half, while neither one of Alice or Karin could do that to me. So mostly it's another Godlike perk." Yuri shrugged.

"...Shut up." Edge said simply.

"Anyways, it doesn't mean I don't wish her well or anything like that. She's had...a rough history fighting-" Yuri was cut off by Edge. "Because of us, partially."

"...Shut up. The point is, I'd like to see her win some." "Or covered in mud." "After Zidane did that last time, she threatened to...uhm...remove some things in my sleep if that happened to her again." Yuri said, pointedly not wincing.

"...I guess anyone can get as pissed as Rydia. You know, maybe we shouldn't have...nah, I'm only saying that because I've got pictures of all the fights we've rigged still. Ahhhhh, man." Edge said, sighing happily, as he pulled out pictures of a nearly-completely-naked Marisa.

"...man, you even carry them around?" "Yeah, so?" "Never min-wait, what the hell is that?" Yuri said, stunned, as he watched something strange wander into the crowd.

The strange pink thing, noticing Yuri's stare, waved, said "Hiii!" and proceeded to wander into a seat, accompanied by a massive, mallet-wielding penguin twice his size and a horde of small brown creatures.

"...What...the....hell?" Edge said.

"Oh, good, they're here. Look, you two, there's an amaz-" Brey, dragging a confused Lexis, rushed up to Yuri and Edge's seats. "Them?" Yuri said, pointing to the extremely strange horde.

"Oh, you've seen them. You should have seen the others. I swear, it's incredible! We've never seen anything like this! It's fant-" "...You sound like Lexis, Brey." Yuri cut him off.

"...Oh my god. I do." Brey chopped off, blushing.

"Hey!" Lexis yelled. Brey, ignoring him, went on. "Ah, it's just...well, it's a long story. You know the rules of the multiverse, right?"

"Sure. Everyone thinks it's fiction, but in actual fact, people that are drunk or high enough see other worlds and write stuff about it. That's why Jecht has that hit series of novels now." Edge said, nodding confidently.

"What? No, that's completely ridiculous." Brey said. "Well, the part about Jecht's Harlequin novels and being really drunk while writing them is true, but besides that..."

"...I...it sounded good?" Edge stammered, as Yuri looked at him.

"No, the multiverse simply exists and things synthesize through. Smart people make huge amounts of money finding the occasional storybook of another world, etc. Then Jogurt..."

"Jogurt." Yuri and Edge stated blandly, staring at Brey.

"Well, that's the official story. Who really knows? At any rate, the multiverses were pulled together here. With some rules about who gets in. Again, no one knows what... At any rate, another universe broke through recently, owing entirely to thirty people or so hanging on very tightly to Princess Peach or some such." "Kink-Ow!" Edge winced, as Yuri slapped him.

Brey ignored the comment magnificently. "Ike mentioned something about a lot of liquor being passed around by some guy named Walio or something, that day. Some celibration up on a cliff somewhere after a fight... At any rate, an illegal cast broke through. Who knows how long whoever it is gets rid of these things will take to get rid of them. Probably forever, considering the Profound Darkness keeps randomly ruining matches and no one seems to care. This is tame in comparison. They're causing quite a stir."

"When the hell is this match going to start, anyways?" Edge asked. "You've been talking for 20 minutes." "Oh, they're waking up Deis, so she can judge." Lexis answered for Brey, snapping out of his intent study. "How many has she killed?" "Seven." He answered absently, and went on. "I think they call the pink thing a Kirby. I'd heard about this in some obscure errata when I was studying monster statistics on a sugar high... Something to do with some monsters that appeared through a window of some kind and were defeated by it. A slime and a wizard and a dragon, something like that...I only remember it because the errata said something about them not actually existing anywhere known. I figured the writer was drunk." Lexis shrugged. "I don't recognize the others, though."

"So what's it's gimmick?" Edge asked. "Eats things." Lexis replied, still focused on writing notes about the strange hoard of newcomers. "Eats things?" "Anything within about three times it's size or so. Minimum." "Huh. Go figure."

Edge smiled. "I have a pl-" "He can't eat the clothes off people, I don't think." Lexis noted. "Damnit!"

---

An hour later, the match finally got underway.

The deathtoll from waking Deis currently stands at 37 for the day and 722 lifetime.

Alice and Sheena traded blows, as bible met blade in a strange and disconcertingly graceful dance, as Sheena's magic met Alice's in an ordinately flashy conflagration for Middle.

Yuri bit his fingernails.

"You know, though. It really is a shame." Edge noted, as he glanced over to one side, as Kirby happily clapped at the match. "There ought to be some way we can make use of someone that eats things."

"You always want to make use of...every..." Yuri trailed off, as Sheena's lightning blasted Alice off her feet. Dazed, she slowly got up, only to see a laughing Sheena walking towards her.

"That's it. Edge, cover me." Yuri said.

"Hu-" Edge said, as Yuri bodily launched himself.

Towards Kirby.

Before anyone could react, Yuri had lifted the pink puffball high over his head, and tossed him into the arena.

"...okay, what the hell. That's the sort of thing I'd do, Yuri." Edge said, disgusted. "Seriously, you didn't think that through at al-Hey, why are these brown things and penguin glaring at me? Hey! Stop throwing the brown things at me, you stupid pen-OW!" Edge said, as a horde of Waddle Dees descended upon him.

Dedede had been paying attention to the conversation.

He knew who came up with the stupid plan.

---

Kirby was puzzled.

Why had he been thrown?

On the one side was the girl who made all the pretty lights.

On the other side was the guy that made all the pretty lightning.

Sure, Kirby knew it was a fight, but he didn't really care much about that.

He could get a closer view this way! He happily sat down, directly between the two.

Unfortunately, Sheena, not known for in-depth planning, figured that a pink puffball thrown between him and his opponent was a definite threat.

Especially if Yuri was throwing it, and Edge was nearby. Any second now, it would probably transgender him, pull off all his clothes, and teleport him to Shana's bedroom.

So, he did the first, and only, stupid thing he managed to this match, after a close battle.

He tried to kick Kirby out of the way.

---

"So, he eventually spat Sheena out?" Yuri asked, curiously. "I mean, I don't hate the silly kid. Edge was right, it was really stupid..."

"...Spat, something like that, yes." Brey shuddered involuntarily. "At any rate, Kirby's been happily electrocuting random trees to get the fruit down, and the judges have awarded Alice the win, since "Interference by a Duelling League non-resident." turns out to technically not be covered. When they tried to figure out what to do, they realized it'd take a few years to settle. How's Alice?" He added, curiously.

"Let's just say what Karin doesn't know won't hurt her, and leave it at that." Yuri smiled. "Get the feeling I'm forgetting something though."

---

"Enough fire yet?" Jecht asked curiously, as Kirby electrocuted down yet another tree, clapped at his own lightshow, and happily munched on baked apples.

"...eh, good enough. I guess Yuki took that one. Not that anyone cared. Eweeeheeeheee!" Kefka laughed.

---

"...damn...you...YUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!" A battered, bruised Edge screamed into the night, from his position up a tree, as hundreds of Waddle Dees stared up at him.

Dedede simply chuckled and munched on some chocolate cake.

This new place had some remarkably good cooks.

It would be foolish not to come here more often...

Sheena Lepant: 25
Alice Elliot: 35


Roland (DDS) Roland vs Paine Paine (FFX-2)

SageAcrin
Roland blinked blearily at his opponent, as he swayed slightly on his feet.

"...I'm...seeing a woman dressed up in bondage gear. Right?" Roland asked Cielo.

"Ya, mon." Cielo nodded.

"But she doesn't have a whip."

"Actually...I hear that depends on which judges ya ask." Cielo answered.

"...Which...judges you ask." "Ya."

"...Does anything else about her depend on that?"

"Well, ya, some allow her to come in the arena dressed up like a big green Tonberry 'ting."

"...is...that so..." Roland chuckled, and turned to leave.

"Hey, mon, where'ya goin'?" Cielo called after him.

"I swear, they must have doubled the proof in my whiskey or something." Roland mumbled to himself. "I'm never drinking the night before a match ever again. This all seemed so normal up until this. But this? I've seen some weird things, but this has to be a hallucination." He said to himself, as he wandered off.

Paine, blissfully-or, at least, non-ragefully-unaware of the reasons, moved on to the next match.

It's fortunate indeed for Roland she didn't find out why he left.

Roland: 20
Paine: 26




Shana (LoD) Shana vs Flonne Flonne (Disgaea)

SageAcrin
A massive, plastic bubble.

Space suits.

A complete vacuum seperated these two duellers.

Was it an odd battle condition, a manic judge?

Not quite.

---

"You know, Flonne doesn't really know much about this sort of thing." Shania said, as one of Shana's arrows quickly pierced Flonne's suit.

"Well, they did get what they wanted. There's about fifteen perverts gasping for air at the airlock. Of course, no one thought to tell either girl that Edge's still stuck up a tree, but otherwise I suppose it went pretty well..." Freya said, as she watched Flonne pass out from lack of air. "Or as well as it would have anyways."

Ultimately, however, it wasn't entirely a loss for the perverts.

Sten has demonstratably gained 10 IQ points from not breathing for four minutes.

It turns out that parts of his brain were dedicated to actually making him more stupid. Very strange phenomena. This should turn out a surprise to no one, though.

How high is his IQ now, you ask?

Let's just say he can beat a toucan in a debate now.

Shana: 34
Flonne: 22


Kiwi (SF2) Kiwi vs Fu So Ya Fu So Ya (FF4)

SageAcrin
An old man.

A turtle.

There was only one resolution to this match.

---

"Why did Kiwi agree to both lose *and* become FuSoYa's mount, though?" Cecil asked, as FuSoYa happily trotted his steed by Cecil's room.

"Kiwi knows the difference between humiliation and death. Which makes him a lot smarter than a fair deal of duellers here, really." Rosa shrugged.

Kiwi: 6
Fu So Ya: 53


Zhuzhen Liu (SH1) Zhuzhen Liu vs Shady Thousand Shady Thousand (WA3)

SageAcrin
"Eheheheh!" Zhuzhen laughed. "Not so bad, for an old guy, huh?"

Shady sighed.

He'd worked so hard for this moment, and then to get defeated by a foolish, gloating old perverted man, just because he had one obscure weakness!

How humiliating!

How undignified!

Zhuzhen started chanting, to deal the finishing blow.

A small crackling sound was heard behind him.

"Huh? Now what was that no-"

Zhuzhen's question was cut off, as two hands grabbed his head, and twisted.

All became black.

---

"Fine, are you happy now?" Snake asked Kirby.

Kirby nodded.

"Good, now let's get out of here." Snake said, disgusted. "I swear, the things I get a pink blob to talk me into..."

"..." Shady said very loudly.

---

"...So what was the decision again? Because I really did not believe I heard that right the first three times. That a group of high Godlikes deliberated over something that simple for three days and came up with something so stupid." Celes said icily, from her position in the judges box.

"...don't...glare at me." Jessica said, with a sigh. "I told you, they said it was judges discretion. As stupid as that is. 'Non-Resident Interference is judged as a disqualification based on judge's discretion.' was the exact wording. It's obvious enough what the decision here will be, since we are sane. Shady was losing at the time. Interference, simple as that, Zhuzhen wins... But the general precedent of judges discretion..."

"Hm. A limitless loophole for madmen." Brahms chuckled. "I'm certainly impressed. And greatly, greatly amused." He chuckled.

Zhuzhen Liu: 42
Shady Thousand: 16


Jayle (VP1) Jayle vs Dinn Dinn (S5)

Djinn
Dinn was appalled. He had won the match against what he had at first thought was a young swordsman, but upon closer inspection, found that the knight in question was in fact... a girl.

Such a tragedy, it was against Dinn's personal code to fight against women, not to mention the stigma it has in a country ruled by a matriarchy. Dinn might lose his knighthood over this!

There was only one thing to do!

"...and THAT'S why he got a sex-change operation?"

Never underestimate the stupidity of the panicked.

Jayle: 22
Dinn: 29

Tylor H
Sure, Jayle and Dinn are both sub-par fighters that managed to reach a position of importance by being... ahem, friendly with their immediate superiors (fanfiction.net would never lie to me!). But, as Valkyrie Profile (and most games where dying doesn't equal death for that matter) shows us, dying allows one to become super ultra powerful.

This makes this a match between a Valkyrie Profile Einherjar, who has to die to join the party, and a plot important Suikoden PC, who cannot die at all.
