Week 5 - Semifinals




Orlandu, Cidolfas (FFT) Orlandu, Cidolfas vs Loki Loki (VP1)

Kanos
Orlandu vs. Loki is a very tough fight.

Loki has his ridiculous durability and his powerful spells going for him. However, due to the fact that Orlandu's equipment allows him to power his way through Loki's defense to some degree and keep Loki's array of magic from harming him too badly, Orlandu can slug his way to victory on the wings of Night Sword and Holy Explosion.

Orlandu, Cidolfas: 26
Loki: 18

Semifinal
Honestly now, Orlandu never should've made it past Necron. Now Loki is going to show him the difference between being a God and merely calling yourself one. And by "showing him the difference being a God and merely calling yourself one," I mean that he's going to smite him soundly.

Sir Chris
Loki seems impressive to me, but really, Orlandu is broken to hell and his abilitiy as well as his weaponry put him over the top, no question about it.

Sarcazmo
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah......Rightyo. Cid...is broken. We all know this.

Major Damage
Oh, please. Yeah, Orlandu and his Night Sword rock. But I don't really think that he will last long against Loki, even with an Angel Ring. I mean, Indiscriminate is a SURE kill.

metroid composite
Let's get two things straight. First, Orlandu can deal non-negligible damage to C-Ending Freya. Barely, mind you, but Lawfer can do it thanks to having a better weapon than the rest of the VP cast, thus Orlandu can do it, having a better weapon than the rest of the FFT cast. If he can hurt C-Freya at all then his damage to Loki will be pretty decent...so Night Sword will keep him healed.

Second, you can solo Loki fairly easily in-game...without the use of Guts or Angel Curios. It's called Auto-Item; Carnage Anthem, Extension Force, and Dragon Orb won't be killing in one hit, and thus get insta-healed. Indiscriminate you say? Loki can only use Indiscriminate in the first quarter of the battle, after which he is locked down to weaker spells. Even if he does get lucky and use it first quarter, he still has to get through Mirror of Pleiades and elemental defence (Orlandu's equivalents being Ageis Shield, Holy-absorbing Excalibur, and White Robe if he uses it).

So...Orlandu deals enough damage to get through the first quarter of the match quickly, much like in-game, and he pulls off enough healing to outlast Loki, much like in-game. In this case I guess "old man" really does take out "god among gods".





Rolf Landale (PS2) Rolf Landale vs Malik Benedict Malik Benedict (WA3)

Major Damage
Since Malik isn't really tough, and Megid is one of the best meat grinders around, it seems that Alis' descendant is having a championship, eh?

Rolf Landale: 15
Malik Benedict: 11




Cristo (DW4) Cristo vs Nina Wyndia Nina Wyndia (BoF4)

Meeplelard
Nina has good defenses, high speed, a form of instant death, and can heal.
Cristo has great defenses, reasonable speed, more reliable instant death, and just as much healing.
Both lack damage.

Seems fair, right? Well, no, see, Nina happens to be immune to Cristo's instant death, meanwhile, Cristo, for as unreliable as Nina's is, can't defend against Nina's Instant Death in anyawy. As high defenses as the Uppered Chancellor of Santeem's are, they do nothing when your enemy has a weapon that causes Instant Death, thus causing a fight that should last years to end in a reasonable time frame, making the crowd happy.

Cristo: 10
Nina Wyndia: 16




Nina Wyndia (BoF2) Nina Wyndia vs Grey Grey (VP1)

Sarcazmo
And Nina's patended, uh, "You die now" spell is going to be difficult to fend off.

Nina Wyndia: 27
Grey: 7

Major Damage
Grey can murder Nina in a couple rounds. Too bad Nina needs only one to cast Death, and getting her Championship.


The Trial of Albedo: The Reckoning

vs.
~Zenthor


Zenthor
The battle itself was shockingly boring. A few blows thrown, ultimately ending in Albedo and his allies losing to the one-two-three punch of Nibelung Valesti V. 3, Impulse, and Vanish. But what happened next? It's the stuff that bad fanfics are made of.

Anastasia grinned widely at the bloody corpses of Citan, Lynx, and her main target, Albedo. It wasn't that she enjoyed killing people. No, not at all. She was, however, pleased to be the only pedophile left in Godlike. That, and clearing the Valeria name while sullying it at the same time had a nice sense of pleasure about it.

Shu lay somewhere off to the side, having been killed by one of Rosa's stray arrows. Not long after Lenneth and Rosa dragged Shu's body over to the rest of the corpses, the Assembly doors flew open, and Laharl, Overlord of the Netherworld and holder of the title "Satan", stepped through. Anastasia's grin nearly widened before Laharl gave her a "Don't even think about it" look.

"You did your job well" Laharl said. "I'm surprised nobody noticed your little friend's ploy."

"I'm not her 'little friend'." Choko said, and pulled off her face, revealing a red-eyed Crimson noble. "And which deception are you talking about?"

"Your costume. You look ridiculous! You can see the zipper." As Laharl said this, Marivel had climbed entirely out of her Choko costume.

"Aw," Anastasia cooed, "you two are so cute! Fighting like little lovers."

"F, fool." Laharl snarled. "Anyway... it fooled those three. But... how did you get Lenneth and Rosa to agree to help you perverts with this?"

"We didn't." Anastasia looked down at the bloody corpses on the ground. A moment of guilt passed her as Marivel spoke.

"Quebley, Lucifer, you can go back to the manor now." Lenneth and Rosa nodded, returning to the forms of Marivel's golems, and transported out of the Assembly.

"What? Where did you learn that?" Laharl looked shocked as he moved his eyes to Marivel. She smirked a bit and opened her mouth to answer, but Laharl interrupted. "No, on second thought, I just don't want to know."

"We should probably finish this up before the senators come in and realize we just slaughtered their music idol." Anastasia motioned towards the doors, where pro-Albedo cheers were being shouted by the Dark Senators rallying outside. "You're right. We've finished each part of our bargain: I give you a reason for ousting the competition, and you get revenge for my daughter for me. Now, just to make the rest..." Laharl was interrupted.

"Wait, how can Choko be you're daughter? You both look the same age." Marivel and Anastasia gasped in disbelief.

"F, fools! I'm 1,313 years old. Why does nobody believe me when I tell them she's my daughter? You humans and Crimson Nobles are too hung up on looks." Laharl looked slightly indignant. "Anyway... Time to finish this. Tranny Transform Transvestite! Corpse of Albedo, transform into a prinny!"

"Dood, where am I?" A white prinny rose up from where Albedo's corpse had lay just a few seconds prior. "Where is ma belle dood? Ah!" he look down at his penguin body. "My body, my.. beautiful body! You... you have ruined me, dood!"

Laharl began laughing. "Haaaaahahahaha! He's all yours, Magess. For the next three seasons or so, at least."

Anastasia grinned. Was it the irony of the most well known pedophile being a slave to the next well known pedophile? Was it the sheer joy that her rival, at that moment, became completely under her control? Or was it the fact that Albedo was undeniably cute in his prinny form? We'll never know, and frankly, we don't want to know.

"And the others?" Marivel pointed at the remaining three corpses.

"Oh, they'll be resurrected after I leave. They won't remember anything except for the fact that they lost the trial, and Albedo's now a prinny." Laharl looked down at Albedo, and again burst out laughing.

"Oh, thank you." Anastasia felt a bit of relief knowing that the only one really affected by this was her rival. "You're such a good little Satan. I could just eat you up."

Laharl, instinctively, screamed out, "Keep your sexy body away from me! Now get out of here. Our business is done!" Laharl stormed out through the doors. As he promised, the mutilated corpses of Albedo's lawyers reformed into living, albeit unconscious, characters.

Anastasia and Marivel, thinking it best to leave before the three awoke, headed for the door, dragging Prinny Albedo behind them. On the way, Anastasia started talking. "You know, I think you overplayed Lenneth and Rosa's roles a bit, Marivel."

"Oh, it's not like anyone besides us two and Laharl will ever know. Besides, Lenneth and Rosa are not the types to turn down the publicity of putting away a known pedophile, even if they didn't do it. And since we're the only ones who know about it, and Albedo won't talk, otherwise we'll just throw him at something...

" Just as she said that, Chisato Madison blocked their way out of the Assembly. "Sorry I'm late... Oh, no, did I miss the trial? Damn... where are the jurors? Lenneth? Rosa? Come on, I need an interview. Oh, hello Anastasia! How did the trial go? Why is Marivel here? ...Why are the opposing lawyers sleeping together on the floor? Where is the defendant? Oh, what is that cute white penguin thing? Is that Albedo? Ooh, how cute! Albedo, can I get an interview?"

Anastasia slapped her hand to her forehead as Marivel uttered an "Oh, brother," and Albedo just moaned out "Dooood..." Nothing was more annoying than having to deal with the paparazzi after a trial.
