Week 2 - Eliminations




Seymour (FFX) Seymour vs False Althena False Althena (Lunar2)

metroid composite
Fight? Seymour will ask False Althena to mary him, and Zophar, eager to push his own political agenda, won't likely refuse. And as they walk out of the arena hand in hand, Seymour will carefully make sure False Althena crosses that white line first.

Seymour: 39
False Althena: 12


Kefka (FF6) Kefka vs Worker 8 Worker 8 (FFT)

gorha
Kefka opened with his trademark Fallen One attack. As the summoned angel appeared over Worker 8's head, the steel giant began to behave strangely. Here was solid evidence of a divine power, and it totally contradicted the robot's programming.

Well, we all know what happens when a Steel Giant's programming goes wrong... "3...2...1...Genocide Mode!" With that, Worker 8 unleashed his powerful Dispose technique. Unfortunately, he was already at 1 HP, and the backlash finished him off.

The moral is, saying "I disbelieve the illusion" will only get you so far.

Kefka: 60
Worker 8: 12

Aren
Thus, the raging Kefka fanboy strikes again! Die, tin can!

Otter
The RPGDL has seen some close contests in its day, but the fight (and I use the term loosely) between the magically invulnerable Worker-8 and the physically devastating Kefka is certainly not one of them.




Ryu (BoF4) Ryu vs Zio Zio (PS4)

Meeplelard
Ah, Zio, what's with you and fighting Gods? Surely, you'd learn your lesson after Fou-lu and Profound Darkness that there's a reason they are called Gods, and you are nothing more than "Godlike".

Ryu: 43
Zio: 9


Miguel (CC) Miguel vs Indalecio Indalecio (SO2)

Xeroma
He descends...... a being with powers so great, he is forced to hold back in the DL due to sheer fear of the people....

He arrived in his weakened form, and stared at his foe.

"What folly.... a mere fisherman thinks he can defeat me?"

Miguel, hearing this, immediately did his signature TurnBlack/HolyDragonSword combo.

Indalecio was hurt quite a bit after that, but his pain didn't mean anything, for it just gave him an excuse to draw out an "example" of his true might.........

Miguel then used a stat buffer on himself, and followed up with HolyLight........ only to watch Indalecio take no damage, and summon a large angelic figure behind him.

"Fool.......... You think you stand a chance!?" cried the wise man.

"Oh sh----" was about as far Miguel got before he got blasted by Earthquake, Explode, and to finish it off, Divine Comedy.

"Fool. Go rot in that hole in time you live in, or whatever it was". With that, Indalecio scoffed and floated out of the ring in displeasure, hoping for a worthy adversary to face him........

Miguel: 11
Indalecio: 47




Zalbag Beoulve (FFT) Zalbag Beoulve vs Hojo Hojo (FF7)

Meeplelard
Zalbag is a warrior who believes in the Church.
Hojo is a mad scientist who loves genetic creations, and is a sin upon nature because of it.

One could view this as a match of Good vs. Evil, and...hell, that's what it is, what am I saying? As we all know, while Evil SHOULD always triumph cause good is dumb, Good WILL always triumph cause some stupid cliche says so...

Zalbag Beoulve: 53
Hojo: 15

metroid composite
Hojo is able to add sleep and poison very quickly at rather high accuracy, Zalbag is immune to neither status, and neither status wears off in FF7, hence this tends to be fatal.




Glenn (CC) Glenn vs Maya Amano Maya Amano (Pers2)

Nephrite
Glenn had brought all his swordskills to the battlefield.

Maya had brought a microphone.

Apparently, someone forgot to tell Maya she still had to fight after her recent Middle victory.

At any rate, Maya got a great interview, and bid the winner of the battle a good day.

Glenn just ended up confused.

Glenn: 28
Maya Amano: 9


Garland (FF9) Garland vs Fuse Fuse (Saga)

Dunefar
Well, Fuse's "Halt in the name of the law!" just got reversed.

*Snicker*

Garland: 38
Fuse: 5


Auron (FFX) Auron vs Hiro Hiro (Lunar2)

Dunefar
Auron has no chance in hell of surviving Triple Sword long enough to win, so what does the grizzled warrior do?

Slash the flying cat, of course. This is enough to finally break Hiro's resolve and send him into a spiralling pit of angst, having barely held off from when Lucia skipped out on him. While he laments his life, fortune and choice of clothing, Auron simply Tornados him to another life.

Auron: 30
Hiro: 26




Karsh (CC) Karsh vs Seraphita Seraphita (XG)

The Axeman
Karsh squared off against Seraphita. The perky young woman was practically bubbly at the prospect of finally getting a match in the RPGDL. She was happier than she'd been in a long time. And Seraphita was always happy.

"Oh boy," she squeeled. "My very first match!" She bounded up to Karsh "Now, you have to make sure not to go easy on me, OK? It won't be fun at all if I don't earn my victory! Let's go!"

Karsh shrugged and then hit her in the face with his axe really hard.

MORAL OF THE STORY: A positive outlook is one way to get ahead in life, but it's hard to argue with an axe to the face.

Karsh: 41
Seraphita: 12


Ace (S3) Ace vs Kyle Kyle (Lunar1)

Starphoenix das Helpoemer
Second best physical in Lunar? Check.

Efficient way of hitting opponent? Check.

No noticeable healing for said opponent? Check.

Opponent splattered across the wall with sword of choice. Check and double check.

When the worst your opponent can do to you is hit you with a semi-decent move that unbalances himself... a move that doesn't even rank up there in their game... I think it's safe to say that Kyle is going in swinging, and leaving with corpses...

Ace: 8
Kyle: 42


Humphrey Mintz (Suikos) Humphrey Mintz vs Guntz Guntz (SF1)

Meeplelard
Guntz uses a Spear
Humphrey uses a Sword

As Fire Emblem has taught us, Spears beat Swords in the Weapon triangle. Sorry Humphrey.

Humphrey Mintz: 19
Guntz: 25


Nei (PS2) Nei vs Ragnar Ragnar (DW4)

metroid composite
"Yes.
You should all go to the RPGDL and vote for Ragnar. " ~Ragnar
"Ragnar for godlike. =D" ~Dracos
"mrrar Ragnar" ~Sir Chris

If there's one thing the week 80 vote drive has taught me, it's that people are turned on by Ragnar. It's clearly only a matter of time before Nike tries to sign him for a marketing deal. In the mean time, Nei will have to avoid being trampled by horny teen Ragnar fangirlsquads just to get to the match, and with Nei's durability, the odds of her making it that far are pretty low....

Nei: 13
Ragnar: 27




Pikachu (PKMN) Pikachu vs Serra Serra (FE7)

Jo'ou Ranbu
The battle was supposed to be fierce. Serra, triumphant and confident, walked towards the arena, sure that she would win and receive plenty of jewels.

Pikachu, on the other hand, was even more focused. He pressed his eyebrows, muttered "Pika..." and went up, ready for a battle he would never forget.

Then, Serra looked right, left, up. She didn't find her foe.

Pikachu hung his head and yelled "PIKA!" in frustration.

Serra, as the ditz she was, took a bit of time to realize Pikachu was there. But one quick movement and she finally remembered to look down.

That's all it took. The moment Serra leaned her eyes on the yellow rat, she panicked, raised her skirt like a little girl, screamed "AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!! A FILTHY YELLOW RAT!!!!! OMIGOSH YUCKYYYY!!!!!!!!!" and left the arena between dashes and trips.

A muddled yellow rat stood victorious for no reason.

Pikachu: 31
Serra: 22


Norn (OB) Norn vs Viktor Viktor (Suikos)

superaielman
Viktor walked into the arena with a grim look on his face. Yes, this old bear had much to prove after his disgraceful downgrade. He didn't even notice that he knocked over a young blonde girl, crushing her beneith his bulky frame.

When Viktor finally reached the ring, he was slightly surprised. Instead of the frail young healer who he was supposed to square off against, a tall man stood in his way. He moved with a certain grace, and wielded a black sword.

"What a sad man you are, Viktor. Crushing poor Norn before she had a chance to even defend herself. Let me show you what a Diva thinks of such tactics!"

Although Viktor won the match, no one could say he looked like much of a winner after Kaus Debonair tore him to shreds.

Norn: 10
Viktor: 32

Broc
How in the world did Viktor end up in light? Ah well, it makes it easier for him to win a season!




Shiho (VP1) Shiho vs Palmer Palmer (FF7)

Dhyerwolf
Shiho knew that she couldn't beat Palmer in the arena. She was just too pathetic. And while the songstress was usually among the calmest of souls, she couldn't stand the mocking anymore. She had to do something.

On the day of the match, outside Palmer's residence.
"Shiho are you sure this is such a good idea."
"I doth have naught other choice Suo, I can not take the harsh words of thy other contestants."
After a few minutes of waiting, a figured warbled out of the residence and started crossing the street.

"Now Shiho, go straight!" Shiho put her pedal to the medal, and by the grace of a higher power, crashed right into Palmer as he was crossing the road.

Palmer went flying into RPGSL, and was able to make it back in time for the match. Shiho was declared winner by default.

Shiho: 33
Palmer: 28

Otter
If there's any indication as to the evil of the AIM dice, it's that they've pitted Shiho against one of the few opponents she can hope to best.

metroid composite
Picture if you will Palmer shooting at Shiho as he did in FF7. Now picture a random bird comming out of nowhere and sending Palmer flying. Who knew that wait reaction familiars could have the same momentum as a truck?

Broc
Palmer? Who the heck is Palmer? Oh. Yeah. Him. I remember him! You expect him to actually win a match? Riiight. Keep in mind that Shiho has been killed before and that Palmer is fat, ugly and a character from Final Fantasy VII. Shiho: 10, Palmer: 0.

Mad Fnorder
The stadium was empty. Yes, the entire famed RPGDL Stadium was completely devoid of spectators. A lone bored referee was on hand to witness the Most Terrible Light Match Ever.

The two competitors opened up with their strongest...."attacks". Stuff happened. Somewhere along the line, a Truck entered the equation. Who won? Meh.




Mojo (CC) Mojo vs Rhett Rhett (S3)

The Axeman
Rhett entered the arena, and couldn't find anything that looked like an opponent. Rather, there were no people or kobolds or ducks about, just a big straw doll with a giant pin stuck through the center.

Rhett sat down and cracked out a tub of icecream, setting down his duck halbert, a long axe shaped like a fish. He was ready to take his first bite, when suddenly, the large doll came to life!

"What-om are you doing-om? We are-om supposed to be fighting."

Rhett slowly sat down his icecream and picked up his weapon. "You're Mojo?"

"That's-om right!"

Rhett backed off a step or two. "And are you some kind of a strong fighter, or powerful mage?"

"Nope-om! But I'm lucky! Lucky lucky lucky!" The doll did a happy little dance around the arena.

Rhett hit it in the face with his axe really hard.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Being lucky is one way to get ahead in life, but it's hard to argue with an axe to the face.

Mojo: 22
Rhett: 30
