And so it came to pass, that having entered the Valley of the Jogurts, the trio of Ilia did fight for three days and three nights and betwixt them, they did slay the Jogurts which opposed them, until the skies rained blood, the ground was covered with mountains of the dead, and both their wills and their weapons were alike shattered and spent. And lo, it was then, without any strength with which to fight, that their final lamentation came upon them as the horde of rodents descended on the pegasus riders. Why are ground bound fighters so easily able to reach them?
Round #4:
Winners
#1) Belial vs Ash Ketchum
The finest Pokemon Trainer of Johto has yet to face a real challenge in his quest to be the master of the Twink League as well. With his six overlevelled companions following his lead, he intends to make sure this fight is no different. However, Belial is no ordinary threat. Faster than Ash's pokemon, she comes with two lethal surprises that have won her through so far: the Damage nulling Time Distortion, and the auto-ejecting 4-D Pocket. However, some of Ash's pokemon come packing moves that hit the whole field, ignoring Time Distortion, and his six fighters means that Belial can't stop him from acting simply by spamming 4-D Pocket. And so, will Ash crush Belial as he heads to a second championship? Or will the Brionac member fell the Pokemaster?
#2) Ramza vs. Unlimited Indalencio
This plucky hero of Ivalice has shown that he is the greater master of versatility, but now he faces yet another wielder of power, the leader of the divine sages, Indalecio. Indeed, his mastery of magic extends to all elements, his Divine Wave will force Ramza to keep his distance, and his limiter being AWOL will mean that Ramza can't just go super saian and beat him down before he can use any of that power. Of course, if there is a weakness in Indalecio's assault, then Ramza is the one to find it, bringing with him the entire skillset of FFT and its storebought equipment. Can this everyman once more fell the greatest of foes, and show that a little bit of wit and a lot of versatility can best any challenge?
Losers Pool
#1) Yuna vs. Yunalesca
This match has come, and gone, and ended poorly for Yunalesca when it happened. But now, Yuna's going for it without two trustworthy companions by her side, and having only her Aeons to fall back on. Can she still best this deliverer of false hope? Can she still continue on against this most dangerous of foes? Or will it turn out that she was, in fact, a genius to have so many guardians with her so she didn't actually have to take part in the fight against Yunalesca?
#2) Sephiroth vs. Fei Fong Wong
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stuck a one-winged pretty boy in leather against a giant God-Mech? I know I sure have! And now it's easy to find out! In one corner, we've got the famed Sephiroth who loves gravity attacks, overkill status attacks, and has an unfortunate tendancy to randomly go squish. In the other corner, we've got Fei Fong Wong and Xenogears, who love to make things go squish, but don't seem to have any defense against status at all! And so, whose passion and loves will prove to be stronger in this eternal question?
#3) Brahms vs. Squall
For Brahms, this battle is simple, he just has to be his usual self, chock full of physical immune goodness as well as that brutal overkill damage we've all come to love. For Squall, things are a bit different. Sure, he can pump up his Holy Attack affinity, just like he can pump up his speed and attack, but all he can really hope for is to either hope he can break Brahms' defenses, or just go for broke, cut himself before Brahms can even act, and hope he can trigger a Renzokuken. Which makes it fortunate that Squall's one of those cold-hearted do anything to get the job done types that could actually contemplate something so painful.
#4) Butz vs. 1337 Jogurts
The power of a chemist is a fearsome thing. There is no defense so mighty that it can withstand its brutal assault. No, the only thing that can let one survive is an overpowering offense, swift and brutal, crushing him completely before he can even begin to act. And that, my friends, is why the first Jogurt that goes up against Butz is screwed beyond belief. And possibly even the second one. And with those two by his side, what are the other 1,335 Jogurts going to do that can even begin to pose a threat? Besides swarming in a ravenous frenzy?
#5) Baofu vs. Barret
Powered by the sacred Armlet of obscurity, Baofu has managed to avoid elimination thus far, but now he faces a somewhat more dire threat. While most of his foes have had just one trick up their sleeve that was easy enough to avoid, now he faces someone with TWO tricks up their sleeve. With the power of Lugh, Barret's insane barrage of counters is completely nullified, and with careful damage management, he might even be able to avoid the wrath of Hammerblow. Of course, he'll need to be lucky, as the Mystile Barret is equipped with can prove tricky even to the best laid of plans.
#6) Mog vs. Bowman Jean
In an odd alignment of the stars, we have a match between a fighter who cannot be killed, and a fighter that is merely extremely difficult to kill. Bowman comes into this with an inability to be hurt, the only thing that can kill him is time, and with the Weird Slayer and his healing pills, that means he can last for quite some time with his Bloody Armour. Mog comes complete with Life 3 to revive him, the Snow Muffler to weaken Bowman's Attacks, and Vanish, to ignore them entirely. Of course, Ultima is gonna be useless here, and that means Mog's beyond screwed.
