That's right, like a shambling zombie that no amount of shooting can seem to kill, the Twink League has returned from it's grave!
Of course, because it's been so long, we're going with a smaller, quicker format. Returning to the 16 man teams from the very first season, and leaving behind the pools you've learned to deal with and, dare I hope, to love in exchange for a quicker and sexier double elimination tournament format.
Regardless, the teams have been set, the quirks prepared, and the battles readied. So now, without further delay, let us begin the first half of Round 1!
Matches!
#1: Fou-Lu vs. Barret
Barret's always made a habit of facing off against Authority, and now he's going against the biggest one he can find: Dragon God Fou-Lu. His setup is simple, a Mystile, a Ribbon, 2 HP+ Materia, and 12 Counter-Attack Materia, all Mastered and all powering the Missing Score. It's a setup that's the envy of any Fire Emblem Lord, and like any Lord, he's going Dragon Hunting. Of course, Fou-Lu isn't the type to just accept this, with several dragon forms and the powerful Soul Rend. All he has to do is survive his first attack, and he can win.
#2: Yuna vs. Rinoa
Two Final Fantasy Heroines of dubious repute face off in this battle of the ages. Rinoa comes in ready to show off the true strength of her much maligned game as she packs every skill and command but Item as well as a full compliment of Magic, there to ensure that she has an ability for every situation. However, Yuna's no stranger to versatility. And while she only has healing and the potent Holy to fall back on herself, her full compliment of Aeons gives her access to a variety of elements, and skills that she lacks herself.
#3: Kefka vs. Squall
What is it with Kefka always facing off against socially inept sword users who can't help but spout off about how they found love? No matter, with his speed and Havok Wing, it'll be no problem to shut this one up. Or, at least, it should be... Then again, Squall, though he lacks commands or skills, has every spell and the Junctions to use them with, and so can drain HP with each hit, and will be hitting just as fast and just as hard as his foe, making this a quickdraw match to see just who would make the better ninja.
#4: Yunalesca vs. Ilian Pegasus Knights
Three against one? You'd think it's not fair, but it's nothing new for Yunalesca, and worse odds than the Pegasus Knights are used to having behind them. Of course, not that it'll matter, as they'll be pulling out the dreaded Ilian Triangle Attack, capstoned with Farina wielding the one and only Uber Spear of death. Of course, Yunalesca's durable enough that she'll likely just laugh it all off. And she comes with her own dreaded anti-PC game of Zombification, and the dreaded Life spell. Can the power of hope once more defeat this undead abomination?
#5: Unlimited Indalecio vs. Baofu
Good old Indy, back in the day he'd be showing up with his limiter on, facing all the comers and doing his fare share. Of course, now there's a higher grade of foe, so he's pulling out all the stops. WIth his limiter gone, he's got a whole assortment of elemental, magical, and even a few physical attacks to slowly grind any foe he faces into a fine paste and demostrate his true might. Of course, Baofu comes from Persona, where blanket immunities are common, and Indy isn't all that scary. With Azazel, Lugh, and Lucifer at his command, Baofu is looking to show that Persona is more than enough to take on the Twink League.
#6: Belial vs. Rudy Roughknight
It's Showdown time at the Twink League Corral. Walking into town, it's the master of space herself, Belial. With her Space Distortion and super speed, there ain't nothin that's gonna hit her ceptin it goes through that little blocking bubble first. And her 4-D Pocket's taken down bigger men then this here hero standing gainst her. But, stepping out of that saloon is Rudy Roughknight, a young lad, with clear eyes and head held high. Armed only with the ARM on his belt, and the Sherrif's Star pinned to his vest. And now, the time fer talkin's done... It's time to draw!
#7: Lady vs. Fei Fong Wong
It doesn't seem fair. In one corner, you've got a girl and her floating orb of doom. In the other, a giant mecha powered by God. Of course, God isn't all that much in the place the girl came from, and she'll be looking to show that He's not much in other worlds as well. With a variety of powerful magics, guaranteed survival for at least one hit, and a death counter that's sure to buy her more time, Lady has what she needs to win. Of course, so does Fei. He has a giant mech with a giant foot. And when forests are waist high at best, stepping on your problems seems a lot more feasable.
#8: T.G. Cid vs. Mog
Mog comes into this packing not just the fearsome Snow Muffler, destroyer of Physical attacks, but also with every single spell in FF6's arsenal, giving him a vast amount of options with which to deal with his foes, including Quick, Osmose, Ultima, and Merton, not to mention his selection of status and dances as well. That said, TG Cid is famed across the land for his skill and experience, and he also has his fair share of tricks. From Shellbust Stab to remove the Snow Muffler, to Dark Sword to drain Mog's MP and take away his tricks, Cidolfas Orlandu is ready to teach these hopped up rulebreakers that there's no escape from the Thunder God.
