Week 1 - Eliminations




Ghaleon (Lunars) Ghaleon vs Lenneth Valkyrie Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs)

Chisa Mikami
Due to the fact that the judges assigned to the Ghaleon vs. Lenneth match were Gepetto, Peppita, and Edward, the form the contest would take wasn't really in doubt.

Yes, the infinite goddess of creation and the feared Magic Emperor had to put on their best vaudeville act.

Lenneth decided to do a tribute to the Three Stooges with her einherjar, and while the physical comedy part worked very well, they were really unsuited to their lines. Arngrim is almost the last person you want making the famous "nyuck, nyuck, nyuck."
Ghaleon, of course, stuck to his guns, and decided to play some music. It was a pretty good performance, and he felt his victory assured. Then a old-style wooden hook crept up and yanked him through a rift in space-time.

The judges appreciated the throwback, but still called it interference, and awarded the match to Ghaleon by default.

At this point, quite a few different things happened.
Lenneth pointed her Glance Reviver at the rift and did her defiler of souls speech, and got laughed at.
The judges asked if Ghaleon would be back in time for the next match, and when responded to in the affirmative, they marked it official and went about their business.
Zidane tried to rush into the arena but got clotheslined by Red, who was working security, and recieved his daily beatdown.
The entire Wild Arms and Star Ocean contingent slowly crept towards the exits.
Both Edge and Delita grinned broadly, and immediately began plotting.
And TimeLord, back in his domain, merely sat back and called up TimeRecord.

When Ghaleon came to, he was lying in what appeared to be a dungeon dressed in his Magical Girl outfit, and a nigh-emotionless voice was saying, "So, her new personal entertainer has arrived. I hope this one lasts longer than the others."
Ghaleon quickly sized up his situation and prepared for the duel of his life, but what came was much, much worse.
She was an MGG fangirl.

TimeLord had had to call in a ton of favors, but after all, this is Season Fifty. Did anyone really NOT think he'd celebrate this momentous anniversary by streaming live Ghaleon humiliation? Plus, "My Personal Ghaleon" makes a perfect addition to the toy line!

Ghaleon: 39
Lenneth Valkyrie: 20


Luther Lansfeld (SO3) Luther Lansfeld vs Naesala Naesala (FE9)

Gatewalker
Bored Godlikes judging matches in lower divisions has long been a source of much chaos in the DL. But letting folks from the lower divisions judge in Godlike has it's fair share of wrong as well. Such as, say, when middles Noa and Meru were randomly grabbed to fill in for Jecht(who was apparently too drunk to judge...).

So how do a pair of obnoxiously chipper girls judge a fight in Godlike? Sticking to a good old fashioned slugfest? Not a chance. No, instead newcomer Naesala got to prove his worth for the first time in the arena...in a disco battle.

This went better then you might expect, though. Turns out both Luther and Naesala are pretty slick dancers. But the Raven King had one small advantage over the master programmer. He wasn't above flirting with the two judges to get a better score(there's actually very little that Naesala is above, but that's neither here nor there).

After collecting his win from the two very pleased young ladies, Naesala had only one question to ask of his opponent, "So, do things get that ridiculous around here often?"

Luther could only sigh, "You have NO idea..."

Luther Lansfeld: 23
Naesala: 24


Fujin (FF8) Fujin vs Valvalis Valvalis (FF4)

DragonKnight Zero
Fujin has Haste, Slow, and Regen to give her a fighting chance. Of course, in a fast paced battle, it's easy to forget things such as recasting buffs when they wear off.

Valvalis had a twisted and cruel idea for an exhibition match though. It took little persuasion for the judges (which included Galcian, Zeon, Queen Zeal, and Rose) to approve.

When the match began, Valvalis cast Tornado.

No, not on Fujin. While that would have actually worked, it wouldn't call for prior approval from the judges. The target was an Auraed Zell with no strength junctions. He proceeded to annihilate Fujin in a single Duel involving the Heel Drop, Meteor Strike, Dolphin Blow, Meteor Strike loop. To further add to the exhibition, he finished off the beating with My Final Heaven.

Fujin was in no state to cry foul afterwords. When Seifer and Raijin rushed in enraged, Valvalis and the judges effortlessly cut them down.

Fujin: 25
Valvalis: 46


Lulu (FFX) Lulu vs Vandesdelca Musto Fende Vandesdelca Musto Fende (TotA)

SageAcrin
Miss.

Miss.

Miss.

The usual battle against Lulu.

This battle...not so much.

---

Lulu coughed into her hand.

The arena was silent.

Van smiled softly.

And brought Lulu's hand, which he was holding, to his lips.

Lulu blushed furiously.

Van was conked in the head by a ball.

---

Ultimately, Van successfully struck on the first try, the only person besides Wakka to succeed at this, with Lulu.

Of course, he had to get beaten to a pulp by Attack Reels. But hey, Lulu didn't win.

Lulu: 26
Vandesdelca Musto Fende: 34




Hugo (S3) Hugo vs Mario Mario (SMRPG)

Taishyr
So. Hugo gets a Fire Flower, Mario gets the True Fire Rune, and the two go to work seeing how much they can burn in a short period of time.

Unfortunately for Mario he doesn't actually have ranks in Fire Magic, whereas the Fire Flower is an easy thing to pick up and use. Hugo won in a laughter.

Hugo: 50
Mario: 8


Lang (LoL2) Lang vs Mia Mia (FE9)

Taishyr
Sword vs. sword. Counters vs. Mystic Artes.

"EEEEEE BARE CHESTS"

Fangirls vs. the socially inept, relatively scantily clad hero.

Galea's resulting "ignition" exploded the entire arena, as well as all clothes within the blast radius. The two are a happy couple now, amusing Sharon and Kazan, boring Ayne and frustrating Maya.

Lang: 19
Mia: 18


Kornell (G3) Kornell vs Dehuai Dehuai (SH1)

AndrewRogue
It seems common sense
A giant fist to crush foes
Will beat some geezer

Kornell: 18
Dehuai: 17


Maria Traydor (SO3) Maria Traydor vs Sabin Rene Figaro Sabin Rene Figaro (FF6)

Ayra
It's been proven time and time again that fists are stronger than guns. Abs of steel easily stop bullets and puny beams, after all.

Unfortunately for Sabin, today it was proven that guns that somehow fire huge laser blasts that would be more appropriately-sized fired for spaceship cannons are actually stronger than fists anyway...

Maria Traydor: 35
Sabin Rene Figaro: 28




Nina (BoF5) Nina vs Pip Pip (CC)

Taishyr
What? PIP is evolving!

Congratulations! PIP has evolved to AIRCLEAPIP!

---

"So. Just by standing next to Pip, Nina managed to make him evolve into a 7th CC element unobserved by anyone ever?" Sharon chortled, leaning on her cutlass. Leena nodded.

"Indeed. Got disqualified for taking a non-legal form, too."

"So why's it attacking the DL Metropolis?"

"What else does a 90-story tall monster do but fight against pollution?"

"Fair." Sharon grinned. "Well, First Mate Leena, want to go do some plunderin'?"

Leena smirked. "Aye aye, Cap'n!"

Nina: 37
Pip: 4


Koromaru (Pers3) Koromaru vs Guy Guy (Lufia2)

Gatewalker
Koromaru really could have done any number of things going into this fight. He could have acted cute, trying to get Guy off guard long enough to take him down. He could have used all his canine hunter's instincts to go right for the throat and attack ferociously. He could have talked all his dog buddies into filling the arena with barks and howls to demoralize his human opponent.

Or he could just go with spamming Mudoon until Guy fell over dead.

The straight forward approach isn't always the best idea, but this time it seems to have worked out pretty well.

Koromaru: 25
Guy: 13


Orlha (CC) Orlha vs Eliwood Eliwood (FE7)

Taishyr
Swordman. Brawler. Pantyhose. Muscular legs.

-------

"Wait. So... Orlha won't hit a girl, so... Eliwood..." Hector stuttered.

"He's your best friend. You tell him that listening to Cloud was a bad idea." Lyn snapped before turning off.

Hector looked down at his old friend, currently in a pink shift, heavily coated in makeup, and punch drunk, before grumbling something about life pairings and wandering off.

Orlha: 21
Eliwood: 33


Colm (FE8) Colm vs Charizard Charizard (PKMN)

Taishyr
"CHARIZARD!"

"What?"

"CHAR, CHAAAAAAAR!"

"..."

"ZARD, ZARD!"

"Okay, this is stupid."

"CHA-aaaaaaaaaaaa..."

Moral of the story: You may be a huge fire-breathing dragon, but if Colm finds you annoying, there's nothing you'll get but a Silencer to the face.

Colm: 33
Charizard: 28




Camus (S2) Camus vs Lino en Kuldes Lino en Kuldes (S4)

Gatewalker
"1...2...3!"

"Rock!"

"Paper!"

"Dammit!" Lino En Kuldes sighed, walked back to his side of the arena and picked up his spear, "Let's just get this over with then."

Camus smiled, "Gladly."

Ten seconds later, the blinding flash of the Rage Rune finally subsided, leaving Lino flat on his back and Camus calmly bowing to the crowd.

---

After she helped her father regain consciousness, Flare had to ask, "So, what would have happened if you won that throw?"

Lino laughed, "We would have had a ship battle, of course. I figure I'd have the edge there."

"...Dad? He still has a Rage rune. That would be pretty bad on the wrong end of a rune cannon."

"...oh yeah."

Camus: 39
Lino en Kuldes: 9

Razzly (CC) Razzly vs Miki Miki (CC)

AndrewRogue
Oh fair Crono Cross
No one really cares, do they?
Still, good win, Miki

Razzly: 13
Miki: 36


Dorcas (FE7) Dorcas vs Louise Louise (FE7)

Taishyr
Louise threw the match. Louise now has a Axe Ballista she's taken a liking to, thanks to Dorcas, Louise, and Pent figuring out how to make one.

Louise, Pent, Dorcas, and Natalie now spend their spare time sniping Ghaleon off from 10,000 miles away, much to his endless annoyance. TimeLord ensures that the group is never caught.

Dorcas: 37
Louise: 25

Twilkitri
Twist endings abounded this round as bookie-favourite if not crowd-favourite Dorcas fell before Louise in a shocking display. The round started exactly as GambleCo's strategists had predicted: Louise attacked Dorcas from afar, with him returning the favour with his own bow. He grasped his axe and prepared to finish the job... then he hit himself in the face really hard. As it turned out someone had swapped his Silver Axe for a Devil Axe. Inquiries are being made but it is suspected that there are far too many people with the opportunity, means, and especially motive for there to be any chance of solving this case.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Making it hard for people to argue with an axe to their face is one way to get ahead in life, but it's pretty hard to argue with an axe to your own face.




Big Joe (XG) Big Joe vs Hawkeye Hawkeye (FE7)

Gatewalker
Nobody really expected there to be quite *this* much blood in a match between an FE scrub and Big Joe. But sometimes weird things happen. Things like Big Joe being a few minutes late to the match, so Hawkeye was tossing a handaxe back and forth to kill time. Things like some wiseguy in the crowd deciding to throw a beer can at Hawkeye for the hell of it.

Hawkeye couldn't help what came next. He's an FE character. He counters. That's just what he does.

So the next thing anyone knew, a handaxe flung by a heavily muscled man was flying towards the retard who threw a can at him. Well, the guy was about to get what he deserved, right?

Oh, if only it stopped there.

Somehow, the mechanics of the universe decided that when Big Joe was involved, even though he wasn't there yet, the entire crowd counted as a single entity. A single entity that Hawkeye just countered.

Like some sort of infernal top, the axe started spinning it's way around the bleachers, slicing off body parts from every last poor sap it touched. Hawkeye was powerless to stop what had started. Within moments, the axe had worked it's way through the entire crowd, leaving nothing but a trail of blood, gore and broken bodies behind it. And as handaxes are supposed to do, it came sailing right back to Hawkeye as soon as it was done.

Big Joe of course took this moment to walk in, fashionably late as planned. Only to be confronted with the sight of carnage in the stands, and Hawkeye holding a very bloody axe.

Big Joe promptly turned on his heel, and walked right back out.

Big Joe: 11
Hawkeye: 37

AndrewRogue
A bright, shining star
There are some things they can’t beat
An axe to the face

"...What?" Yuri asked, staring blankly at the notice.

-Basically it says that the people that judge decide.- Mewtwo noted.

"...well why the hell...oh, right. Legal code."

-When written by Profound Darkness, at any rate.- Mewtwo noted. -You didn't even see the other pages, did you?-
