Week 4 - Quarterfinals




Orlandu, Cidolfas (FFT) Orlandu, Cidolfas vs Asgard Asgard (WA3)

superaielman
My hat's off to Asgard. The mighty bot stopped two holy fighters in a row without much trouble, and made a much better showing than he did in his last RPGDL apperance. However, Asgard's reached the end of his season here. Wide Barrier is useless against Cid, and Orlandu's speed can overwhelm his impressive defensive barriers.

Orlandu, Cidolfas: 18
Asgard: 8


Loki (VP1) Loki vs Melfice Melfice (G2)

Kanos
Quadraturn, schmadraturn. Indiscriminate > Quake.

Hell, Indiscriminate > 4 Quakes.

Loki wins.

Loki: 16
Melfice: 11

Infinity Dragon
Loki's plan was simple this match. Simply tell a few inappropriate stories about himself to shatter Melfice's nerve.

It worked like a charm. Melfice fled the arena muttering about "goats", "tethering", and "tug-o-war".





Rolf Landale (PS2) Rolf Landale vs Wren Wren (PS4)

Notmiki
Wren, being the logical fellow that he is, realizes the devastation that Megid would bring to his otherwise sturdy frame. He also realizes that utter oblivion at the hands of someone who figures prominently in his own continuity will have a profound effect on not only his own fate, but the fate of Chaz, Rika, and Rune, whose poses for the opening of Phantasy Star IV would look utterly ridiculous without him. Priorities being what they are, Wren will go for the surest route to victory. And Rolf will move up the ladder as Wren waits a couple hundred years in his space station for his opponent to finally die of old age.

Rolf Landale: 24
Wren: 4

Tylor H
Wren has enough HP that your average Joe Hero would be able to survive if he were Wren. Wren's also a non-Worker 8 bot, which means that his MDef is non- exsistant, and which means that, unlike Joe Hero, he won't be surviving.

Jenny
As studly as Wren is, he's not as fast as Rolf, which means Wren eats megid without him having the benefit of Mbarrier. Poor Wren. Maybe he can be recycled.




Malik Benedict (WA3) Malik Benedict vs Ramladu Ramladu (SF1)

El Cideon
Both opponents had easily demolished their previous competitors, and the arena's audience was eager to see how a match between the two contrasting fighters would develop. The battle began with Ramladu's heavy mace whirring harmlessly through the blurred Prophet, followed by a return blow from Malik that the king's dark powers easily healed as he laughed and tried to strike again. And so it went...for four hours straight. As night broke and the bored audience trickled away, the judges finally decreed that the participants must find an alternative means of ending their stalemate.

Malik was quick to suggest that each of them select a champion from among their underlings to stand in their place. However, Asgard was in little shape to represent Malik after his battle with Orlandu, and Ramladu's robots had little more success hitting the shifty scientist than their master had.

Finally Ramladu, fuming and frustrated after an afternoon that could more or less be summed up with the word *WHIFF*, and generally driven to the end of his wits by Malik's incessant cackling, threw out the first thing that popped into his head.

"A simple test of luck will end this, 'Prophet.' I have places to be, people to kill, and I tire of your presence. A simple test of luck will end this farce, and we can both be on our way."

Thus, it was decided to end the match with the ancient and revered ceremony of the Coin Flip. "Just so happens I've got one here," Malik said, producing a worn old five-gella coin in his wavering and shifting fingers. Ramladu insisted on seeing it himself first, to insure the Prophet did not intend to employ the infamous double- headed-coin gag. He examined the coin, and, finding it genuine, handed it back. "I shall call. Tails!" he said as the coin hurtled through the air. Malik caught it in his palm, heads facing up. "You lose, old man," he said, grinning. "Two out of three," the king huffed, and Malik flipped again. "Heads," Ramladu called this time, only to see his call fail again. "Three out of five" he snarled, and so Malik flipped the coin again...and again, and again, until Ramladu stalked off in a rage.

In retrospect, Ramladu really should have rethought his challenge. Never play games of chance with someone fast enough to dodge bullets.

Malik Benedict: 15
Ramladu: 4




Izlude Tingel (FFT) Izlude Tingel vs Cristo Cristo (DW4)

superaielman
Izlude Tingel walks a dark path. As he was betrayed by someone who he trusted above all others, he's become someone who feels he can only trust and count on those who are truly close to his closed heart. Even for one as skilled as Izlude, such a burden takes a toll. So when he sees Cristo enter the arena..

"Let's go, Cristo!" Alena's cheerful voice resounded through the arena. It was obviousi that the tomgirl had faith in Cristo's ability. Brey stood by the princess with his normal stoic expression. However, he was the one holding up Santeem's crest in Cristo's corner, showing that he was supporting a friend. Solo and Rangar were helping Cristo equip his heavy Metal Babble Armor, while Mara and Nara were making sure Cristo had full command of his spells before entering the fray. Taloon had even managed to procure a good luck Metal Slime plushie for Cristo.

Izlude looked over to his corner, and sighed. Meliadoul was doing her best to cheer him on. Despite her efforts, it just looked.. bleak, in comparsion. With Orlandu's win and his own isolation from the cast, it was no surprise no one else had shown. His father, the bastard, hadn't even stopped in..

Later, people wondered why Izlude had fared so badly against Cristo. Some pointed to the fact that Cristo had managed to get off a casting of Upper before the seemingly slow acting Knight Blade could even raise his sword. Others noted that it took the normally accurate Izlude several tries to hit a single break..

Izlude Tingel: 11
Cristo: 14

Tylor H
While Cristo will be crying out Upper, Izlude has his own ace, namely, Magic Break. His opening two shots will leave Cristo without his magic, and without his only hope of victory. And that means Izlude can crack the poor chancellor's armour at will, and cruise to an easy and eventual victory.




Marivel Armitage (WA2) Marivel Armitage vs Nina Wyndia Nina Wyndia (BoF4)

Meeplelard
Marivel didn't think much of Nina. I mean, a young bird princess against the mighty Crimson Noble whose been around for many ages, this should be an extremely easy fight, right?

Or so Marivel thought. Being over confident, she didn't read entirely up on her competitor, and thus was shocked the instant cast her Kyrie spell on the Female Vampire. Doesn't it suck being one of the undead against a White Mage?

Marivel Armitage: 9
Nina Wyndia: 16




Nina Wyndia (BoF2) Nina Wyndia vs MOMO MOMO (XS)

Infinity Dragon
Nina made a deal with MOMO before the match. In exchange for a win, Nina would teach MOMO how to wear a mini-skirt without advertising panty shots. MOMO, knowing she was outclassed anyways, and had been on the recieving end of far too many cat-calls, quickly accepted the offer.

Nina Wyndia: 18
MOMO: 9

Jenny
Nina can surely kill Momo in one turn - but, unfortunately for Nina, she won't get that turn.

Meeplelard
Nina sighed. Having beaten Katt last week, a friend of hers, and now being forced to fight a realian who resembles a little girl in everyway, Nina was feeling uneasy.

"I know I need to fight if I wish to win, but...can I really take it as far as hurting someone half my size? It just feels wrong?"

Nina thought about how to win, and an idea came to her. Using deceit wasn't her style either, but it was far better than being violent, so she thought of using it.

Match began. MOMO was readying her Dark Scepter, when Nina interuppted.

"Excuse me, miss MOMO, but I just learned something that might interest you..."

"Oh? What is that?" MOMO said,

"Its about the trophy ceremony. I heard the person who is going to hand out the Light Trophy is the Losing Finalist of God Like last year..."

"Why does that matter?"

"Don't you remember who Ghaleon defeated last season in the finals for his 2nd championship?"

MOMO stood there and thought it out. Remembering GOd LIke matches of the previous season. She remembers a former God Like champ being sent to a downgrade pool, a highly feared destroyer being beaten by his own subordinate, a Dr. beating a being of pure darkness...and a certain familiar pedophile beating a little girl. She then remembered that said Pedophile got to the finals, and lost.

"Oh no! Not him! Please! I'll give up anything to get away from him?"

"Even this match?"

"Yes! I give up, just as long as it keeps me away from him!" MOMO yelled.

And thus, Nina won again without having to hurt anyone, even if it did involve lying to do so.




Janus (VP1) Janus vs Grey Grey (VP1)

metroid composite
Comments:Before Janus could take a shot at Grey, the suit of armor muttered "I'm sorry" and collapsed into lifeless pieces onto the ground. Shocked at his apparent good fortune, Janus reflected that he didn't have armor of his own, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to wear more than the shirt on his back to battle. One by one he picked up the pieces of armor and donned them.

There was a high pitched "Aaugh" followed by a deep and rumbling "I have my body back; thank you, Lemia."

"Is this all that's left of me?" Janus remarked, "Am I just to be...to be...a phantasmal suit of CLOTHES!?"

"Face me now; my reborn muscles lend me new strength! My reborn bones give me new stamina!"

"But...but...."

"Do you not know something as simple as your own place!?" Lenneth asked, walking up to the contestants, "There is another match in five minutes; hurry up and finish!"

Janus: 13
Grey: 21

Sir Alex
:I can vote on one match this week. Grey >>> Janus, pure and simple.


Fry Pan Foibles
Mary vs. Hai Yo vs. Toadstool vs. Yang's Wife vs. Justin

~Gourry


Grefter
The sheer idiocy of Justin is unbeatable. It is truely unfortunate for all involved that his pathetic and mentally deficient brain could not be knocked back into (or prefereabley out of) place by the massive assault of Frying Pan head bashings. Professionals have come to suspect that Justin actually completely lacks any brain at all (more conclusive results would require such tests as an EEG scan, unfortunately Justin refuses to partake in such a venture). To the pleasure of everyone in the Duelling League people got to enjoy watching Justin get beat around the head for several days.straight.

Mary: 3
Hai Yo: 5
Toadstool: 3
Paula: 1
Yang's Wife: 11
Justin: 12

Jenny
Yang's wife is just uber. No question about it.

Tylor H
Y'know, I feel sorry for the poor saps that're gonna be whacking Justin over the head. Why? Well, you ever tried to hit a large chunk of stone or other really dense object with a stick/bat? The impact goes right through the stick and hurts your hands something fierce. And that's exactly what's gonna happen to this lot too. After all, there's a reason even Lilly the Skull had to contract out such pleasurable work.

chipstick85@aol.com
Yang's wife pulls the same trick she pulled last time... call Cecil and his friends and have them take care of things.

Sir Alex
And for the bonus... if Justin is harder to bust up than Yang, the world is in a sorry state.

Hunter Sopko
While the others have more experience with it in battle, Yang's wife has done it much more often in the use of correcting an unruly family member. She'll show them a thing or two about bitch-smacking a loved one, by cracky!
