Ryu (Breath of Fire) |
|||
With a defiant roar to the heavens, Ryu the First has managed to smash his way into the Semifinals right over the fan-favorite swordsman Cloud! But now descends an angel from those very heavens to teach the dragon a lesson in humility. Or so Mithos thinks, anyway. In reality, it’s going to be Ryu who does all the teaching here, namely in the subject of exactly why one does not meddle in the affairs of dragons. Like all of Ryu’s fights, this one will be rather simple on Ryu’s end. Transform into the mighty Rudra, immune the half-elf’s otherwise rather potent set of statuses, tank through his feeble damage, and then splatter him in a couple of shots with his awe-inspiring power. His game might not be as flashy or as damaging as his fellow Ryus, nor as visually inspiring as his opponent's, but still gets the job done with little to no hassle in the end. If Mithos is smart, he’ll just stay home for this one, as all reports point to the angel of sorts being crunchy and tasting good with catsup. |

Mithos, the oft-maligned angel of judgment visiting depressing destruction upon this puny, fallible world in the name of his sister, has beaten the odds this season. With but two matches left, the fallen hero comes ever closer to the championship he desires, and as such, Mithos will be pulling out all his tricks to stop this first-born dragon hero in his tracks. While Ryu's draconic forms render him immune to Mithos's Retribution's status, the Light Dragon is still vulnerable to the weakening of his defense, attack and other attributes, something Mithos will be sure to capitalize on. And while the mighty Rudra grants Ryu immense defensive capabilities, these defenses don't effect his magical resilience. Mithos's deadly Indignation will hit as hard and as true as ever against Ryu, and with a full assortment of magical offensive capacity, Mithos will surely crush the puny dragon with little effort. All in a day's work for the RPGDL's strongest angel - soon to rise to the ranks of the gods themselves. |
SnowFire Ryu wanted to get properly ready for his fight with Mithos. So, something that even silent mains can do... training! ...unfortunately, Bo was off hunting, Karn was missing again, and Nina still wasn't speaking to him. This fight would be a little different anyway; perhaps someone from an action-RPG could show Ryu the ropes? "Well. If your goal is to lose horribly, I recommend you keep with your current strategy of standing still." This sarcastic "Necromancer" was proving an annoying partner, no matter what his alleged skills. Ryu sulkily responded with a "..." and tried shifting around a bit. "Better. Now, I'm going to start casting... what do you do?" Ryu charged forward, dodging the splashing magical water and smacking Jade with his practice sword. "Ah. You almost have the hang of it. Could use some work dodging the physicals, but 'run away' works pretty well against magic. A fine session, and thank you again for loaning me this earthquake key. It should prove a fascinating object of study." Ryu smiled. Mithos was in for a rude shock. --- As the fight opened, Mithos predictably started raining down destruction with his Indignation spell. Ryu proceeded to masterfully dodge all Mithos's attacks, getting several attack chains in with his mighty Emperor Sword. "Ha! I won't continue to be toyed with! Judgment!" Random destruction rained from the heavens, and Ryu couldn't help but be caught in some of it. Luckily, he still had his trump card- he could transform, and be back in the game! The newcomers in the crowd gasped as Ryu's majestic and huge Rudra form snazzily grabbed the screen for a moment before coalescing in a bolt of lightning. Mithos now had to face an unstoppable, fully healed draconic juggernaught... "Indignation!" Mithos yelled. Ryu instinctively attempted his dodge motion again, which mostly worked... except for the stinging electrical sensation coming from his side. What?! Ryu looked down at his newly massive size and realized in horror that there would be no more tricky dodging. What would Nina do here? Ryu then remembered something else he could do, though he'd never really felt the need before when politely lined up in his original quest's battles. "Wha... what?!" Ryu's flapping wings lifted himself off the ground, and above even the plane of battle. Mithos frantically flung a few more spells, yet they only affected things at most twice his height, and Ryu's wings were considerably more powerful than his tiny angelic ones. Soon, Mithos was ground into toast from Rudra's mighty blasts from the sky. A quick session among those judges who were themselves groundbound closed the loophole afterward, of course, declaring that flying any higher than 100 meters (when not in a special attack animation) would henceforth be a ring-out.
