Tournament of Randomness - Finals
« on: August 26, 2010, 09:42:19 PM »
61: Richard Hawk v White Knight Leo - Rock Band   II/IIIII II
62: Maria Traydor v Cloud Strife - Tightrope Walking   II/IIIII III

Match #63 - Final

And so we reach the end.  Our contestants have endured a gruelling gauntlet of events both insane and inane.  And finally there are but two remaining.  And for this, we may not have our biggest, or best, flashiest or classiest, or even wierdest event remaining.  But this event is a classic!  And after all of those other events, both our contestants will have built up one hell of an appetite for this, the eating contest.  Both of our contestants will have a limited amount of time to down as much food as they can stuff themselves with.

If there's one thing that Leo's really shown his chops at so far, it's his artistic skills, having bested his opponents in abridging, painting, acting, improvising, and rocking.  Making this the first time in the entire tournament that he's having to go for the brute force method as there's just no way to artisitically or beautifully gulp down lots of food.  But, Leo is a man, and a man never backs down.

Cloud's taken the other route to get here,  With the exception of the applied pyrotechnics, he's had to work hard as opposed to smart through physical exertion or pure combat.  Of course, he does have the fact that one of the few contests similar to this one, the drinking contest, is among the victories he's scored to give him a nice morale boost going into the final.

Leo

First of all, he's a bigger guy, which doesn't always mean more eating capacity, but on average, I'd say it helps, unless you're a teenager (Cloud's a bit too old for that). Second of all, he's a beastman. I want to say that they were able to eat more than most, but it's been nearly a decade since I played Lunar and I don't remember that for certain. Cloud's got an argument if you think the mako infusement makes him able to eat more, but... I'm not really buying that offhand. Close enough that a well-reasoned argument could sway me, but for now my vote lies with the white knight.

63: White Knight Leo v Cloud Strife - Eating Contest- I don't think Lunar makes a statement either way on beastmen==big eaters, but they're so similar to grandia's and I know they ARE big eaters in grandia.  That's close enough.

'sides, I'm not convinced Cloud eats much of anything to start with.  Despite Wall Market having a visitable diner.

Tough one.  I think Cloud could down the hot dogs pretty fast if put up to it, but I can buy all-GameArts Beastmen can eat hype.  Clearly Leo has some experience tasting refreshment.

Monday will be the last day of voting.

Though...  if this thing can even be gotten close, I'll be shocked

Just going to state that Leo won, by a lot, making him the champion of the Tournament of Randomness.

Leo winning a tournament about randomness is highly highly appropriate.

Clearly we need numerical rankings for relative Randomness strength.

White Knight Leo is totally a Randomness Bluelike, 5.99

Cecelia is like a 1.14

Lambda is like a 3.14

FF1 Warrior of Light/Knight is Puny.
