Event 5: Fashion Makeovering
This event is simple enough. Take a poor schlub with no fashion sense, and then subject him to the whims of some depraved fashionista who'll have him looking better by the end of the whole degrading experience. It's humiliating, but at least they come out of it looking pretty snazzy. At least... if they get someone good...
And that's where the problems start. And no, they probably don't end. You see, the first "person" we're giving reign over someones wardrobe is Lord Helix. Yes, the Lord Helix, patron god of Anarchy from Twitch Plays Pokemon. Of course, anarchy isn't our only problem, as the second person to get their own fashion plaything is Estelle, the compulsive liar from Suikoden 3. So, really, Anarchy vs. outright lies. This one thing is certain, the poor makeover victims are not going to be the winners here.
Event 6: Puppy Kicking
One might ask, why are we kicking puppies. Simple answer, they come back and look adorable doing so. As always, the victor will be the person who can get the most combined distance on their kicks within the allotted time, which means force of kick and ability to get the puppy to come to you fast (or, alternatively, ability to hunt the little buggers down if they run from you) will both be important. As for the durability of the puppies? Chief Medical Officer Squall made sure to slap an invincibility item on them before the start of the match.
As for our puppy kicking pros, first up is the Silver Maiden of Zexen. Unusual for a female main in an RPG, she will have zero problems whatsoever with actually kicking a puppy if it's what needs to happen to get the job done. Also unlike most female mains in an RPG, she's got the strength to make these suckers soar. Her opponent, Ryu from Street Fighter, is no stranger to weird minigame style events. And while this is slightly different from smashing a car with his bare fists, he's certainly got the leg muscles to make that puppy soar.
Event 7: Ship-to-Ship Combat
One might read the event title and think this is about naval combat. That would be a mistake. Instead, we're going to keep going until we find a love triangle (real or imagined) where both sides have an opinion, and they both differ on these opinions. There will then be a conversation on which is the better ship. And we're using internet rules for conversation here, so full contact, no rules, "debate" in the style you'd get if you combined 4chan with a gladitorial arena.
First up is Rita Mordia from Brave Vesperia. I've never seen her myself, but I'm told her favourite method of dealing with those who disagree with her about important things like this is cleansing, cleansing fire. Which is good, because her opposition, Millenia from Grandia 2, is pretty similar in how she deals with things. Victory goes to the one who convinces the other that their ship is the one true ship, or just gets their opponent to stop argueing which in internet debate is really the same thing.
Event 8: Gladitorial Deathmatch
I'm sure you're asking, what is the key difference between a gladitorial deathmatch and a straight up duel. Simple, both sides get chucked into an arena with their weapon of choice and told to go at it. No subtlety, no tricks. Just straight up glorious melee combat.
So of course we end up with a pair of scientists. But don't let that fool you into thinking this will be a dull show! Our first scientist may not be the swordsman her brother is, but don't sell Aura Blackquill short. After all, she's still vicious enough to take an entire space centre hostage. And though she may not have her robots here with her, I'm sure she'll find a way to make due. Of course, her opponent is no stranger to combat, even if his style is less hold the line and more find cover and shoot. Still, Mordin Solus has his Salerian Special Forces training and experience fighting the Collectors to fall back on. And while this probably does cover some melee weapons, he's still a scientist, and probably actually weaker than Aura is. So, the question remains, which of these badass scientists will be master of the gladitorial arena?
Team Event 1: Base Defense
Having shamelessly stolen this event from CK's own Rando Tourney, we've got a simple setup. Team B a fort. It's a nice fort, and they get to choose one of common materials and a layout of their choosing. Inside this fort, there needs to be an area reachable in no less than three ways (though none of them have to be easy, just possible) that we'll call the safe area. This is when Team A comes out to play. They have a day to breach the fort, and get every member of their team into the safe area at the same time. Team B is allowed to do whatever they have to to stop them, and Team A can do anything they need to to succeed.
Our defense team is an interesting group of wildly varying skills. Led by the noted hero/villain Flay Gunnar, it'll likely be decked out in evil overlord fashion. Either that, or it may just resemble a school. Regardless, he's got the skills and the showmanship to make this quite the lair to invade. His handy second in command, Kaguya Nanbu, will be able to watch for transdimentional intrusion as well as fight. Inspector Gadget will be able to track down any oddball incursions as well as having the tool for any job as well as an endless source of luck. Finally, the defense team is rounded out by team mascot, Grumpy Cat.
The Assault Team will be led, in theory, by Gaston, who has experience in storming strongholds. And while his experience may have ended poorly, he won't let that slow him down from trying it again for a second. Also not slowing him down for a second is the fact that no one else on his team will actually be listening to him. Of course, Gaston also has the dubious distinction of being the worst suited of his teammates for this task. He's also teamed up with famed hero Darkwing Duck, who has lots of experience outwitting villains and breaking into their lair. Akuma from Street Fighter, who'll probably just keep punching until he gets where he's going. And Toph Bei Fong whose powerful Earth and Metal bending will provide a fierce combatant and prove to be very difficult to actually stop from reaching the safe area.
Of course, the defense team only has to stop one of them, but with a team like this, can they do it?
