So, here and ready for Week 2, ay? Cannot deny the siren song of the Monstrous Pit any longer, ay? Morrie knows just how you feel! The PASSION..oh, what a wonderful week! But hey, Week 1 was pretty good too, as the Results Page shows. **Importantion information for newcomers! Please click This Link to go to a post made by our moderators that should hopefully answer several of your questions! If you have any more, simply feel free to go to the forums and ask!** The ever charismatic and popular ladies man, Zelos, has finally gotten a chance to prove himself this week, and enjoy the company of such lovely ladies as....well, actually this week is entirely male, but no matter! Zelos will just have to beat his opponent, Avalon, in order to see some of the fairier sex in Godlike! But it will be an uphill climb. Avalon is a mighty final boss, perfectly built to dispense loads of pain upon puny PCs such as his opponent. Zelos will have to constantly back away and First Aid himself in order to keep his health up, and his TP will run out sooner or later. Of course, this is not to say that Zelos is completely helpless. A constant assult of sword techs may keep Avalon from using his more dangerous moves, and as long as he is careful with his resources there's a good chance he can come out on top. This will be a hard-fought battle either way. Cloud and Alicia cross swords in Heavy this week, in a match all about the ifnishing moves! Cloud, old DL veteran that he is, has his familiar Limit Break abilities and starting Materia. Alicia, newly ranked, as all the sword moves she can use with her limited AP, plus the ever-useful instantly cast Heal. Cloud can't just chip her down, as not only would Heal remove all damage it would get her one step closer to a battle-finishing Nieblung Valesti. Alicia does have the ability to chip, which could help her avoid a match-endind Limit, but will she get the chance? Cloud will have to choose his moments wisely in order to win this match, but hitting Alicia when she needs to recharge AP might be a useful strategy. This match will come down to a few select moves. The only question is: Who will be the one to use them? Rhett hits things in the face with an axe-like weapon really hard. Sialeeds uses magic to fry things. Both are fighting in Middle for your entertainment! Rhett has the durability advantage, with Sialeeds having pretty puny HP, but she is faster, and that may help overcome Rhett's damage output. No real fancy tricks here, just a race to see who can outlast the other. Rhett's not the best at taking magic, and that will work in Sialeeds favor, but who can tell if it's going to be enough, especially if Rhett gets enough crits in? Ducks are pretty resilient, but so are True Rune users with dye jobs, so this match may end up closer than you think! You know her from her demanding job as the head of the intervew crew at Behind the Scenes. As I'm sure they can attest, Chisato is quite good at dispensing a beatdown. Now, she puts her fists to use to compete for another chance at a Light title! Macha hasn't had much success in the DL, but what better way to start a comeback than taking down a pasty reporter? As far as Light slugfests go, this is a textbook example. Just lots and lots of punching and blunt trauma ensue while these two strive for a chance to move on and the BtS crew hopes that Chisato doesn't lose, because nobody likes her angry. But will Chisato have sufficent reason to give Odin more brain damage? Or will she instead have a victory beating instead? Now that I've given you a glimpse of this week's matches, move on to the full thing at the Monstrous Pit! Can't quite make up your mind? Input, advice, and discussion is always present at the Bonus Match Ideas Post and read all about it! Another week, another conclusion. Don't look so down! The Season is just beginning, and voting awaits you! If you're all done with that, then enjoy a new episode in the ever changing abuse of gods and octopi in Behind the Scenes! Welcome to Behind the Scenes, almost as much fun as babies falling down the stairs! I'm Gilgamesh, along with the usual gang of idiots. On today's show, we play the roles of couples counseling, Pokemon translating, and anti-drug activism. All that and on only one paycheck! Morte... Fine, fine. Our first guest is no stranger to Behind the Scenes. Light in division only, say hello to Chisato Madison. A fat joke? You're slipping, skull. If I'm slipping, you're off the wagon, oh Mistress of Dull. I've got more excitement than you have teeth! And yet, I'm the one who fills you with grief. Why are you bothering me with your rhyming? Consider it pun-ishment for your mocking my comic timing. Guys... Don't interrupt us, squid, I'm on a roll. You honestly think that? Oh my, how droll. So the little spitfire has some bite! Like I'd let you insult me without a fight. People... Your delusions of grandeur are one part amusing and two parts sad. And anyone who thinks you can win a match is mad. Your power is pathetic outside the studio set. But unlike you, at least there's one place I'm a threat. You... Look, you can continue your little flirt-fest later. Flirt?! I'll show you, Moppy! Gaah! Oh look, the catapult's still working. And his ranked form is just as aerodynamic as his old one. So does anyone have any other comments? Nope. Oh look, we have another Light guest. Hello! Hello, Bleu. You know, I really don't remember inviting you. What are you doing here? I heard that my all-time favorite person ever is going to be here. I'm touched! I didn't realize you cared. Not you, Ryu! He's so super cool! Which one? There's more than one? Oh joy! And now I can add "see a dragon's happy dance" to my list of life accomplishments. Huzzah. Say, can we crush his youthful spirit now? Not until Heavy. You're facing Bernadette, Bleu. What's your gameplan? I make lightning come out of my mouth. She fries. It's kind of fun, you should try it. Well, it certainly beats what normally comes out of her mouth. And now for Middle, with Swampert and Domingo. Swampert! Domingo! Domingo! ...you all want me to have an aneurysm, don't you. Of course not. Not at all! Eh, I always thought you'd be better off dead, Red. Hey, Domingo, you can speak. Shh! Quiet, you. Swamp ampert swamp! Look, you're a new fighter. You have no idea the depths to which these monsters can sink. Hmm... "Behind the Scenes: We strike fear into the hearts of tentacle demons!" I think we have a new intro. Pert. Yes, he is annoying. And Max decided it would be a good idea for him and me to be roomies. Just because we're young and non-humanoid. Stupid kid. Pert swamp! Yes, I do appreciate the fact that my room is larger than a little metal ball. Perhaps we should move along. Heavy? It's Ryu! Hooray! And another thing, you have to stop leaving your dirty tunics on the floor! Why? It's a perfect place for them! I leave them there, and the next day they're in the washing machine. Yes, because I put them there! See? The system works. I can think of three things very wrong with this picture. Ryu? Yeah, kid? Can you sign my autograph book? Of course. Just make it out from the egotistical jackass? Or how about from the man who realized what a harpy his girlfriend is. Ex-girlfriend, thank you very much. Besides, I... I already have a new boyfriend. You do? Of... of course I do. Then who is it? Er... Ooh. Ooh. Pick me, pick me. I'm ever so lovable. La la la... I'm just walking around, nothing bad's going to happen to me... It's Jet! Wha? Jet. We need to talk. NOW. Sure, no problem. Bring lots of bandages. All.. right. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Now, let's finish up with our Godlike fighters, Wakka and Rolf. Good to be back, ya! You know that there's a dead Swampert on the floor, right? When did that happen? ... It just came up to me, ya? So I was all friendly and gave it a pat on the head. You idiot, Wakka. Don't you know that Swampert is extra weak towards grass? What do you mean? You're not an idiot, Wakka. You can figure it out. So, Rolf, you're fighting a fighter very similar to our current reigning champion. How do you feel? To be honest, I'm just glad it's not Ghaleon. And on a sentiment I'm sure we can all agree with, let's wrap up for this week. Stay tuned next week, when we'll continue recapping my quest for championship glory. Or mock her for losing to a Chrono Cross character, so I think we win either way. Wait, don't I get more of an interview? Dear god, my entrails! They don't fit in there! On second thought, maybe I should just cut my losses. Good night, Duelling League. Is anyone else really hungry right now?
