Week 4 - Quarterfinals




Yuna (FFX) Yuna vs Lady Lady (SH3)

Taishyr
The most powerful and capable summoner in Spira, and one of the most powerful anywhere, versus an incarnate shell of Malice walking the land.

Freaky Friday.

Yeah. It was decided by a bored Lavos, Ghaleon and Yunalesca that this would be the best way to have this match decided. So Yuna spent most of the time running away from an infatuated Killer and wishing she could speak effectively in this new body to explain the situation.

Whereas Lady just summoned all Yuna's aeons, went into Mascot Yuna mode, and proceeded to level half the city while singing along to "Barbie Girl".

The judges, in fairness, were never told to make the match fair or even non-destructive.

They decided to level the other half of the city.

Yuna: 23
Lady: 32

Barubary
Surprising everyone Yuna summoned Anima... to everyone elses surprise the match ended there... huh Its like a pun or something




False Althena (Lunar2) False Althena vs Rika Rika (PS4)

DragonKnight Zero
In-game this is a one-sided battle. False Althena can one hit KO PCs without lightning resistance. Rika is a PC with no lightning resistant equipment, the third lowest Mental score in her cast among non-androids, and no magic defense buffs. Also, unlike Lunar 2 Complete, False Althena can fire this off every round.

However, Ray is fired at close range only. Rika has superior agility and can spend the whole match far enough away to dodge. Unfortunately, while Rika can last more than 15 seconds this way, she has no long range attacks. The moment she attempts any offensive move, she's going to be flatlined. The best she can do is a stalemate it appears.

Little of this came into play in the arena though...

- Match Day -

Much of the Dueling League also believed this would be a one-sided battle. Rika's friends aside, most of the audience consisted of perverts eager to witness False Althena violating a flatlined Rika in ways inappropriate to describe.

"What do you mean Rika's not showing?"
"She can't make it." repeated Demi. "Rika trained extensively to prepare for this battle. Well, she didn't realize when she reached Level 99, continued to train, and glitched her Max HP to 0. Master Wren is fixing her up but won't be finished in time for Rika to compete."
"Well then False Althena wins." muttered Dias, omitting further comment.
"Oh, good." yawned Noel, glad that an animal, even a partial animal would not be harmed.
"Who asked you sissy? How did that wimp ever become a judge?"
"Why don't we become friends?" droned Noel.
A thrown brick was Xenobia's answer.
"I guess not." was the reply as Noel retreated.

"That was no fun." complained Zidane.
"Whatever." muttered Rune. "Look, go complain with Chaz, he's over there."
Zidane rattled off his dirty thoughts to Chaz. Chaz did not take kindly to how Zidane spoke about his wife. Alys wasn't too happy either. The two blasted Zidane from two sides with a Firestorm combo and when Zidane leaped at one, the other tagged him in the back with an instant death skill.

They sent the remains to Neifirst.

False Althena: 46
Rika: 11

Meeplelard
Ever see what happens when a Cat Girl gets hit by a giant beam of death from some false deity?

...no, you haven't, nor have I for that matter, don't try to pretend you have. But I think the result is pretty easy to figure out, so really, does it matter?





Sir Leopold (DQ8) Sir Leopold vs Largo Largo (TotA)

SageAcrin
Largo was not having a good month.

First, he'd accidentally cut off a woman's top.

Secondly, he'd been propositioned by the local perverts group to become their new leader, despite Zidane and Sten's protests.

Thirdly, women were now avoiding him in the hallways.

And now, they were making him fight a dog.

Not something to further his goals in life.

Not something to improve the world in a more shallow way.

Just beating a dog to death.

Could his honor be insulted more?

---

"You know, Largo, it's even less honorable to lose to a dog." Legretta noted calmly.

"...If I didn't know you better, I'd swear you came here just to mock me." Largo said sternly, staring at Legretta's back as she looked out Largo's hopital room window.

A sound suspiciously like a giggle was heard, from Legretta's direction.

Must have been the birds.

The "birds" that had been in the Duelling League perhaps a little too long.

If you don't think a few seasons isn't too long, you haven't been here long enough.

Sir Leopold: 28
Largo: 24


Arc Eda Ricolne (AtLC) Arc Eda Ricolne vs Sync Sync (TotA)

SageAcrin
Sync was confused.

His opponent had wandered into the arena, called him a "angsting, infantile idiot", had proceeded to tackle him and start punching him.

What the hell was wrong with him?

Sync was still wondering this when he was punched unconcious.

If Sync has a flaw, perhaps it's thinking about himself too much. (Well, Sync has more than a few flaws. But perhaps one is that.)

---

Arc roared in triumph, as his opponent exploded into a cascade of blue orbs.

Arc, recognizing his true calling and Sync's vaguely similar name, collected the glowing ball after Sync's death and gained Sync's power!

His mighty Angst Blazer shall consume all!

---

Kukuru is still wondering where her sake all went.

It was four gallons! No one could have drank that much!

Of course, no one did. Arc accidentally spilled most of it, got depressed and drank the remaining few glasses to help relax him, a few hours before the match.

Boy just can't hold his liquor.

Arc Eda Ricolne: 27
Sync: 16




Lani (FF9) Lani vs Yuki Yuki (G3)

Taishyr
Yuki ended up waiting half the day before his match was finally called in his favor. You see, Amarant was assigned to judge the match, but neither he nor Lani showed up.

Competent reports described a lurid scene in Zidane's house.

Slightly less competent reports mentioned a Risk game with Garnet.

And the most questionable ones said something about "strip continents."

Which, in the end, would explain why Garnet, fully clothed, was found scrubbing the chairs afterward and muttering about the wine, while Amarant was found in a dumpster three blocks away. Lani, meanwhile, just decided to sleep the alcohol off.

Lani: 23
Yuki: 26

SageAcrin
Ahhh, Yuki, defeating his female opponent with the power of Flash.

Truly, Alonso has taught him well.

Alfina's still not speaking to him. Well, among people.




Alice Elliot (SH1) Alice Elliot vs Paine Paine (FFX-2)

SageAcrin
And so, Alice proves that people like the little catholic schoolgirl fetish more than the dominatrix one.

Paine's a pretty shoddy one anyways. No whip in the main form? Yeah.

What does that have to do with fighting, you ask?

This is the duelling league. How much people like women always matters entirely too much in a fight.

Paine's still trying to get the stench of Zidane's blood out of her hair. Four washings, still not out.

Of course, being Yuri's girlfriend couldn't have hurt Alice here, either. After all, the last person to mess with her, with him around, got eaten.

Alice Elliot: 30
Paine: 29




Shana (LoD) Shana vs Fu So Ya Fu So Ya (FF4)

Taishyr
Fu So Ya stood over Shana's broken form, stroking his beard thoughtfully.

Chisato and Maya Amano wrote furiously.

The judges gaped, Frog literally falling out of his seat ribbiting.

Slowly, Fu So Ya turned, and tossed the Blue Dragon Spear back to the Chinese gentleman sitting off the sides, before bowing to him. The gentleman stood, bowing in return to Fu So Ya before leaving.

"Beards are thicker than blood. Mmm, yes." Fu So Ya turned slightly to Shana again, before striding out of the arena.

Shana: 23
Fu So Ya: 32

SageAcrin
UOM vs young, impressionable, easily kidnapped girl.

Who happens to have this thing about getting kidnapped and taken to the moon.

If this doesn't lead to a creepy hentai doujin, I will both be surprised and vastly relieved.

Barring that, I don't want to know anything about said doujin.

SnowFire
FuSoYa couldn't beat up an evil superbeing on the moon even with the help of one of those angsty formerly-evil but now reformed badasses. Shana... is technically an evil superbeing on the moon. I think we can see where this is going.




Zhuzhen Liu (SH1) Zhuzhen Liu vs Dinn Dinn (S5)

Gatewalker
Dinn was a bit worried going into this fight. He knew that old mystic types tended to be canny fighters, and more physically adept then they seem, along with having powerful magic at thier beck and call. And what did Dinn have to combat this dangerous combination of intelligence, magic and years of experience? Just a strong sword, a heavy suit of armor and a warrior's resolve.

Oh yeah, and a Titan Rune.

Turns out that "more physcially adept then he seems" still isn't enough to let Zhuzhen get up from that wallop. Dinn was actually feeling a little bad for taking the fight so seriously that he may have really injured the old man. But it's all okay in the end, the DL has healers for just that sort of thing.

Zhuzhen Liu: 14
Dinn: 32

Spyduck: From Hoenn with Love from Dr. Mime's Octillery Who Loved Me With A Lunatoneraker :Dialgas Are Forever: Arbok Eater.
~SageAcrin


Meeplelard
Look, its quite formula at this point. Secret Agent comes in, saves the day, etc. but the villain *ALWAYS* gets away, only to come up with another scheme that will undoubtedly fail.

Its a cycle. Trying to break the cycle just destroys the very fabric of being a Secret Agent!


Spyduck wins: 12
Spyduck wins but..: 4
Mr. Mime escapes: 19
Mr. Mime wins: 15

Hunter Sopko
I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, SPYDUCK. NEXT TIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!

Ryogo
Spyduck drives a Lamborghini? Hellz ya he captures the Dr. Mime!

Love the Goldfinger reference in there too with the Ms. Persian Galore. I'd tap that.
