I, Kazan, bid you welcome to the RPG Dueling League, dedicated to the art of pitting the greatest warriors of the RPG Multiverse against each other in honourable combat! 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! 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 49: Rankings have entered stage two! Megaman X: Command Mission, Mana Khemia, and Naesala of Fire Emblem fame. Do these titans deserve a chance in the main league, or will they be rejected? It's all up to -you-, our dedicated voters. Check out Stage two of the ranking topic now! On the other side, we have our retirement topic. A few fighters are up for deactivaction, including honorable warriors from the Shining Force series and Tales swordsman Rassius Luine. Do these men and women deserve a retirement or not? Weigh in on the retirements now! Shurelia has another Wave Science lecture. This week offers another glimpse at the twisted depths of the world of Ar tonelico. 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! So Saturos won, huh? Was not expecting that. It's...it's like we're back in Season- HOLD YOUR TONGUE! We do not speak of that dark time. Yeesh. Well, no matter. Maybe it'll be Nel and maybe it'll be Jack and maybe it'll be Id, but either way he's going down. Hell, I could take him! No reminding people that you actually have fighting ability, Odin. Aww. So... Yeah, let's do this. Starting the show without me yelling at you? I..I don't know what to say... Welp, readers, it's Semifinals time! That's right, week 4 has come around once again, and the usual misfits here at Behind the Scenes can barely contain their excitement to get started! Yeah...that's....yawn.... Sssh! There's some good paint drying going on over here in the corner. Pfft. It's not nearly as good as that grass we watched grow last summer. ...Godlikes. Where are the Godlikes? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Ladies and gentlemen: TweedleVillian and TweedleMook! Hey, just because we're in the same game series and are both villains doesn't mean we're anything alike! Yeah. For example, I....uh....enjoy knitting? Oh. My. God. I love knitting! Okay, bad example. Um... Save it. Now I want to knit! Time to make this short. Spam lots of magic, don't die. The end. I, uh...I can basically do one attack and that's it. Fair enough. You're dismissed. Knitting time! Whohooo! Just when you think that guy can't get any more weird... Tell me about it. Ah, Saturos. A pleasure to see you. Now don't start with me, Chisato. I won fair and square. Why, but of course you did. No one said differently. Menardi must be proud. Though you're not a Godlike. Oh, shush, skull, you're hardly one to talk. I'm sure the DL authorities... Hahahahaha! What a sweet kid. You really think anyone's going to go up against someone who burns half a village before breakfast? Point taken. If you'd be so kind... Despite what they'd have you think, I can fight. It won't be easy to take me down. Meh. Been there, done that, wiped out more anti-climax bosses than you can count. This won't take long. No, it won't. Thank you both for your time. As for Middle... Hello again. Princess. Oh, you're too kind. ... Don't look at me like that. Talk already. I have healing and she doesn't. I have magic and a bow to keep a respectful distance from any axes that might come my way. You can't run forever, and once I close in you'll be cut in half before you have a chance to do anything. I can take any damage you try to dish out. Jeigan's don't take damage when it comes down to endgame. They wither up and die. Maybe in the first few games, but I'm no Jeigan. That's the problem with brats these days. No respect at all. They need a good beating. Nobody asked you, Kornell. You get the beatings here, musclehead. Maybe we'll see about that next week. If you can beat this lady right here, of course. Your knees are quivering. S-shut up! Enough! Let's get the Lights out here and be done with it. This is hardly the proper place for a princess. But you're- Don't spoil it, now! So, Rozalin, you're doing quite well with yourself, I see. That's only to be expected. Who can hold up to a demon princess like myself? Me, for one. Don't make me laugh. You'll be blown away before you have a chance to do anything. Yeah, well, I'll do...whatever it is that I do. Phantasy Star II: Even the characters have a hard time remembering what they do. I think I...use knives? Good enough for me. Get lost! Another job well done. I find your definition of 'well' to be BS. Another job done, then. Just shut up and go. Amen to that! I'll see you next week, dear readers!
