Match 41
Avengers, unite! For this great challenge where our contestants must form their own league of justice to fight the evils of the world.
Peppy Hare comes into this with a few different limitations. First off, he's sidekick material at best, and not even the really good kind of sidekick, but the comic relief sidekick. Secondly, his home is sadly bereft of Superheros, which means that while it is in need of a good league, especially given how well Andross fits as a supervillain, and how often he attacks, there's little raw material to start with.
Of course, his opponent is the boy from Secret of Evermore, whose era spanning antics may, or may not, leaving him any kind of qualified position.
Match 42
Cat Bathing, the sport of the truly insane. And this week, we've got a couple of people who likely apply taking up positions, where the goal will be to get the cat as clean as possible, with as little damage to the cat, and to themselves.
Is it possible to murder by Cat Bathing? With Dahlia Hawthorn, that answer is almost certainly yes! The only real question is, how clean will the cat get before the poor guy croaks, will the Prosecution complete the job in order to wash away evidence, and how badly will Phoenix get mauled when the cat is inevitably tossed at him?
On the opposite end of the spectrum, one has to ask, even with the wonder of Kaibatech on his arm, and the Heart of the Cards within him, can Yugi Moto successfully wash a cat using only Children's Card Games? And if not, can he con Joey and Tristan into the sidekick's duty of taking this task for him?
Match 43
Sometimes, the answer to a challenge isn't brute force, but instead getting from point A to point B while attracting as little attention as possible. A concept known as stealth, but which we here at the Tournament of Randomness prefer to call the Metal Gear Challenge.
Our first contestant is both an expert in lots of force, in that she was born with it, and an expert in not wanting to use it. Of course, when your special power is to turn into a flying flaming pink version of yourself, well... stealth may not be your strong point. But Terra Branford is game to try it all the same.
Which is good because her foe is the crafty mechanoid from the 30th century, Bender, whose powers of bending metal bars gives him access to all kinds of places he shouldn't be able to reach, and whose proclivities to theft make him crafty and cunning in the art of stealth. Of course, everyone around him is pretty idiotic, and trust him regardless of how much that trust is deserved, so perhaps he isn't so much cunning as knowning how to milk a good thing.
Match 44
The name of the game is simple, but there's two ways to win. The goal, to be the greatest thief. But, whether that's through getting the most stuff, or by getting the best stuff, is up to the individual contestants.
As a drifter, Clive Winchester is used to having to get random artifacts from dangerous places. And this is a task at which he is well trained, and very experienced. Of course, he's also not usually denying rightful ownership as part of the deal, as very few of these missions involve outright theft.
As for his opponent, Queen Festering Pulsating Bloated Slug for a Butt, she's an Earthworm Jim villain, and one of the less competant ones at that. Which means not all that great at nabbing stuff, but she'll be going at it with a zeal that Clive just can't match.
Match 45
The year is 1917, and all across the Western Front only one name is known across the Allied lines. The infamous Red Baron, whose skill with a tri-plane is making the skies unsafe for our boys overseas. His reputation and kill count so fierce, that now only two challengers remain to try and clear the skies of this German menace.
He's more used to the high seas than the untamed skies, but if there's ever a man for this job, it's the Dread Pirate Roberts. He's outwitted a Sicillian, survived the Fire Swamp, and even come back from Death itself. But will all of that be enough to allow him to defeat the nefarious Red Baron, even if his true love, Buttercup, somehow enters the picture?
His name, Bob.
His format, Guardian.
To mend, and defend.
To defend his newfound friends.
And if there's anyone to do the defending, this sprite is it. Fresh from the Mainframe, Bob's got his state of the art Keytool, Glitch at his side, and the experience and cunning to win in all the games, almost certainly including WWI aerial combat. After all, what can the Red Baron do that the dastardly User hasn't?
Match 46
So, I hear you're starting a Pokemon Journey!
Welcome to the Johto Region, where we use our pokemon friends as workers, lab rats, and of course, pit fighters. I'd like to welcome the two of you to the Pokeleague, where you can start your trip to capture as many of these fantastic creatures as you can, in a quest to defeat all eight gyms before becomming the Pokemon Champion!
Our first challenger is the noted adventurer, Korgan Bloodaxe, whose travels along the Sword Coast and the province of Ahm makes him perfectly suited for this trip. What he may be less good at is not doing the fighting himself, and possibly on mastering the complex beast that is pokemon battling.
Hey, Whatchu talkin' about, Oak! You saying that Gary Coleman is gonna be a Pokemon Champion? Good thing since the child star hasn't been up to too much since he got canned, and wandering the wilds of Johto would explain a lot.
Match 47
Heretics. What are they good for? Kindling, apparently. There will be a set pool of heretics for both sides to make use of, and the winner will be the one who sets fire to the most of them. And this time, both of our competitors will be very happy to bring down the flames.
Our first competitor knows that even as it burns, she'll be so happy with the heretics as they help her with her science. The scientific AI, GLaDOS will no doubt have a bevy of ways to light the unbelievers up, all of them highly informative. Of course, for her the real issue will be less completing this challenge, and more making sure the Beta's done on time.
But while she'll be working hard, her opponent, Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, will be acting in the name of fun. After all, when you lead the villainous Zerg, what isn't to like about setting things on fire?
Match 48
And so we move from the sport of popes to the sport of kings, chess. That careful approximation of war, wherein each side moves one piece at a time until a king is captured. Unfortunatly, we've got probably the worst two people to be playing chess here, with one of them not all that bright, and the other lacking any kind of patience for it.
We'll start with the dim one, notably, Bowser, King of all Koopas. You'd think that being a king might give him some kind of advantage, except that none of his schemes have ever really hinged on his intelligence.
Of course, it helps when his foe is crazy. And patience is one of the many things Kefka Palazzo is known to completely and utterly lack. Of course, which failing will prove to be the greater one, we'll just have to wait and see.
