Within lies the greatest showcase of fighting talent you will ever lay your eyes upon! Here, you will be able to vote on a series of Battles. weekly where the greatest warriors will square off in combat! Fighters are split into divisions, aptly named for the fighting prowess of those within. The victors each week continue on in a typical eliminations-style tournament, until a victor is crowned champion of each division. Here, you'll also find exciting bonus matches and other spectacles to seduce your battle-starved souls, enough honourable combat to fill even an old man like me with joy! Questions? Go here! In addition, there's another small tournament called Not Ranked, which pits an even wider assortment of unique, secretive and unknown warriors against each other in a similar vein. If you're looking for a favourite, it wouldn't hurt to check that out as well. The DL is more than answering the question of how fighters stack up. It's a repository of information about RPG's varying from the obscure to the well known. Every bit of data gathered from every dank duengon and musty library in the RPG universe is gathered here. If you youngsters want to talk about any RPG of any stripe, you're welcome here. Check out this center of learning and find out new information about your favorite games! You've done a good job paying attention, students. Here's the news for Season 46: Not Ranked is returning soon. If you wish to find out more, contact Tonfa Baton at our forums! Looking to make an impact? Have an opinion about a fight, or merely wish to tell a story about how your favorite fighter wins (Or how that dishonorable hated fighter loses?) Send in a comment on a fight this week! The fans who come to vote and write create some of the magic of our universe. If not for your contributions, we would not have seen the 'magical' side of Ghaleon, nor seen the fate that befell Zidane when he tried to outsmart Fou-Lu. So send in a writeup today, and help make the site a better place! Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes! Dammit, dammit, dammit. Well, you've still got your looks. Unfortunately. Dude, not the time. It's like playing on a pogo-stick in a minefield. Fun but short-lived. Hey, a championship is a championship no matter what happens afterwards. I still think you've come out ahead. And we both know you couldn't have lasted long in Middle anyway. I suppose that's true, but on the other hand: Shut up. Of course, I wouldn't know, being a winning Heavy/Godlike. Heh. What did I just say? I think the important thing here is that now you can spend more time on your hosting duties and less time bragging about your recent DL successes. It's just not the same without my frequent and painful beatings. Meh. Not in the mood, not in the mood. I hope you're in the mood for interviewing. Well, "Interviewing" in the sense that we mercilessly mock people, and occasionally something is learned. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Come on, that's not the spirit! Focus on the positive! That massive beating did wonders for your love handles. ... What, too soon? ...Welcome to Behind the Scenes, readers. As usual, I, Chisato Madison, am here to talk to you about your favorite duellers in Season 47! To start, we have Godlikes Cloud of Darkness and Celes Chere! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Um, hi. Well, that's all the time we have for that. In Heavy this week... Oh, nice try. But you are actually going to have to interview them. Uh I was just kidding with the roaring thing if that helps. I'm glad, I don't think my eardrums could take another assault. Well, it's just a part of my acting lessons. Having a carrying voice is important with these sort of things. Acting? I've tried that myself... Oh, it's a load of fun, isn't it? People think because I'm the living incarnation of darkness, destined to reduce the world into a void of nothingness, that I don't have hobbies, but really I enjoy lots of things. Especially croquet. Croquet will be destroyed last if I can help it. It's nice to talk to a final boss from our series that isn't a mindless creature of destruction or some prancing ninny. Good on you! ...On second thought... Well, anyway, I suppose I'll just have to use Bad Breath and hope that ends it. Otherwise, my usual attacks and Particle Beam, maybe. No status effects for me, which means I'll just have to buff myself up and use all my magic. It should be a good match. Gotta go, time for my pottery class. Urns are so fun to throw into the Void. Well, that was surprisingly upbeat. She's a lot less depressing than I thought. Anyway, let's talk about Heavy. Doth thou desire the...ah, screw it. I hate being a one catchprase villain. I was 8 games away from that fate myself. Oh, no you don't. No tangents, talk about the fight. Tch. Fine. No Stop, I guess, but I still have plenty of damage up my sleeve. I can deathblow with the best of them. Considering the gymnastics that Fei pulls off at the end of the game, no, no you really can't. Oh, and you weren't killed by your protege? Give me a break. Why don't you go back to saying the same 'ole boring crap over and over again? Why don't you go back to saying..oh wait! Nobody ever remembers your lines, you half-assed fake Big Bad. You take that back! No! You're only remembered because you have the same name as a villain from the first game, whose one line was all it took to make him more memorable than you! Oh, take your platitudes and shove them up your poorly translated, nonsensically mystic, overly symbolic- Girls, girls, can't we all just get along. You're wasting time. Save it for the arena. Get lost. Ugh. Halfway done. Okay, next up... Did you know: My last name is very similar to Reinbach? Suikoden connection, perhaps? Did you know: I have some sort of mysterious powers and show up in every game unaged, but with a larger cup size? Also, nobody cares? Ouch. Better than going out like a punk to an air crash. Also, better than being Leknaat. She can't even give directions to the nearest bathroom without being vague and mysterious. What a load of bull. All she really has going for her is the apparent ability to make giant blocks of names show up somewhere and babbling about True Runes. As much as making fun of Leknaat warms my heart... As a Crimson Noble, I do not fear Rune magic. My distortion powers are more than enough! Oh, I'm sure I can come up with something to send this wannabe vampire packing. He's no Dracula. He's not even a Neclord. Maybe you should cover yourself in garlic. Without clothes. And by 'garlic', I mean 'mudwrestle one of your other game incarnations'. Ew. What? Just a suggestion. I think the Belmonts do it. Eyes up here, Morte. So they are. So they are. Why haven't I said anything yet? Well, I'll leave you to your depression and massive perversion. Sigh. No wonder Dracula never returns my calls! Riiiight. Okay. One to go. Light people, let's get this over with. Hey there Chisato! Boy, I sure hope I have your luck this season! Don't count on it. Well, miracles always happen. Odin still has what could roughly be called 'intelligence', despite the severe and frequent beatings. I'm a super genius! Before you ask, yes, I'm going to talk about the match. But, well, I hit things with a tuning fork. That's it. That's what I do. The same, except replace 'tuning fork' with 'staff/umbrella' and you've got me, as well. That and a Limit Break anyway, but all mine mostly do is heal or something. Hey, at least it's something. And considering how long our match is likely going to be, people are going to see it. A lot. Well, good for them. Riveting. Um, good luck to both you guys, I guess? Though really the match is going to be decided by whoever winds up falling asleep in the middle of the battle. Man, I'm glad I'm out of Light, however temporarily. True that. Word. So, what do you say we go find a good bar and help Chisato get over her loss? I know a good place. A. I'm not going slumming again. And B. No you don't, that was destroyed. Fine, be that way. Sounds like a plan. I'll see you next week, readers! Don't forget to vote this week. See you for quarterfinals!
