Match 17
Sometimes, there comes a match that perfectly sums up the random nature of this tournament. Oddly enough, this isn't even the best example of it this week despite being a contest of a chef and a reporter trying to weave baskets underwater.
Our first contestant is much beloved for his ability to cook, and his presence on that famed show, the Iron Chef. Maharu Morimoto now gets his chance to show us that he's more than just great with a skillet, and that he has other uses for his fingers.
Of course, opposing him is Maya Amano, a noted Persona user, and a reporter to boot. As we all know, reporters need all kinds of skills in order to get the scoop, and Maya's top of the heap there.
Match 18
From the ocean to the desert, all our contestants need to do now is survive. Of course, just as I've few words for the competition, so do I also have few words for the contestants in another match sure to draw a low vote total.
First up is everyone's favourite joke character, Squirrel Girl, notable for being the Marvel character with no real powers who dresses up like a squirrel and kicks the asses of people she shouldn't even be able to survive being in the same area code as.
The other person is Hrathgar, some guy from Elantris who I know jack all about because I've been avoiding spoilers. Which one of these two will win? I don't especially care, but you might!
Match 19
While this match may not be any less obscure, at least the people involved cater to the same kind of tastes. Of course, it also helps that the event is the simple footrace. Getting from point A to B as fast as possible using only one's own speed.
First up is Brock Sampson, some schlub from the Venture Brothers, which I assume gives him some kind of running skill. Which is good, because his opponent, while young, is well versed at running, whether it's from nasty aliens as Spaceman Spiff, or a man eating tiger as plain ol' Calvin.
Match 20
Finally! Tired of those matchs wiith the obscure? Sick of contests where you aren't entirely sure how competant the contestants are at the task in question? Then this match is for you!
First up comes the man with all the subtlety of a tactical nuke, a guy for whom a casual stroll involves six decapitations and nine maimings, and nothing pleases him more than the sight of roast pig. Straight from the Kingdom of Highland, Prince Luca Blight!
And opposing him, the queen of pointless technobabble, the chick who couldn't spot a clue if it hit her between the eyes, the lady who can't know it all, even when it's all about her! Shion Uzuki!
And the match these two towering paragons of wit are partaking in? Being mysterious! Whoever can best be a maddening shroud of mysteries wins.
Match 21
Now for a match we all know and love, Censoring Vietnamese Cable. As per usual, make of it what you will, but the winner is going to be the one who does it best, because deep down, we all hate the Vietnamese getting quality television.
I think we can all agree that when it comes to controlling information, there's few folks better than a ninja. And our first contestant isn't just a ninja, he's also a doctor! Dr. McNinja has been going off on adventures for many years now, and this will simply be yet another ecclectic episode.
Of course, where a ninja might fail, a man of science is sure to succeed. And boy genius Mandark is such a man. Best known for his distinctive laugh and being the rival to fellow boy genius Dexter, of the show Dexter's Laboratory, his evil genius ways will give him the keen insight needed to best censor Vietnamese Cable.
Match 22
Abridge, to shorten. Preferably humourous.
Maya Shrodinger, master of the magna martial arts. Gets into character. Hot blooded.
Xena, Warrior Princess, yodels while throwing chakrams.
Match 23
Master Baiting, the sport of champions! A task that must be handled carefully, with a smooth approach to entice the subject to react appropriately until, with a sudden jerk, success is accomplished, followed by a sense of satisfaction in a job well done.
Our first contestant is no stranger to using a pole, and he certainly knows his way around traps. Egon Venkler is a member of the Ghostbusters, and as such has had to devise several techinques and a couple of very impressive tools to assist him in his master baiting.
But, while Egon has the power of science, Puniyo has the old fashion tricks of the mob, along with an all too willing family, examples galore, and absolutely no shame.
Match 24
One, Two, Three, Four
Now we have a thumb war!
A someday saviour and war vet
John Connor hasn't got there yet.
But before he beats that terminator
He'll have to show off now, not later!
Against a bot that has no thumbs
A canine mech, that lucky bum
K-9's slot here wasn't planned
Why do the dogs get events with hands?!
