DragoonJay Let's review here - Sephiroth's first appearance, he gets beaten by a team of fighters, the oldest of which isn't even 30. Next, he goes solo against a grade-school age fighter... and loses. Obviously, this means that Sephy's weakness is youth. Ryu, hoping to capitalize on that, decides to fight in his child form. The child form that gets knocked out by a crane. The child form that also gets knocked out by an NPC who seems to spend all his time chopping wood. The child form that gets smacked around left, right, and center by Balio and Sunder again and again... Noticing a pattern here? Maybe Ryu should have thought his plan out a bit more. Sephiroth: 15 MeepleLard
MeepleLard Zio works for Dark Force who is the spawn of Profound Darkness, which you could call some god. Fou-lu is a god. Therefore, the instant Zio walks in, Fou-lu immidiatly starts playing with his mind and forcing him to do his own bidding, in this case, hitting himself with his own Black Wave, since see, to Zio, a "dark force" isn't any different than THE Dark Force, and Fou-lu has all the dark energy he needs to make Zio his slave. ...Or there's just the fact that Dark Wave hurts a lot more than Zio's Black Wave, and that Fou-lu is Faster and More Durable. That works too... Zio: 3 MeepleLard Yuna: Anima! Freya: Yah! *Watches Anima die* Yuna: Bahamut! Freya: Can you withstand this? *Bahamut dies* Yuna: Shiva Freya: *Blats her with Critical Flare* Yuna: Ixion! Freya: Prepare to Be Cleasned! Divine Assault! Ether Strike! Yuna: Ifrit! Freya: ...Darn it, I'm out of attacks. Yuna: Really? Oh, that's too bad Freya: YAH!! *Blasts Ifrit into oblivion* Yuna: What the? Didn't you say you were out of attacks? Freya: Yes, it doesn't mean I can't recycle my own ones, I was trying to put on a show. Yuna: ...Vale... Freya: Ha! *blasts Valefor before it arrives* Yuna: ...for...darn it. I concede. Freya: 14 DragoonJay
RC Having fought in two battles so far, Shizel thought that it would work like in-game, and being her third battle, turned into Nereid-Shizel. ...don't disqualifications just blow? Terra Branford: 8 Zenthor

Dark Holy Elf It was the night before her second RPGDL match, and Celes was anxious. "That Crono poses quite the problem," she mused. "Or, more accurately, his Vigil Hat does. Immune to Berserk, Imp, and Muddle... he'll be a difficult one to take down..." She considered. She could always fall back on her defensive magic and simple attack spells, but that seemed risky. Surely there had to be another way? At times like this, Celes knew what she had to do. She turned to the one person should could trust for advice. "Granddad Cid? I need your help coming up with a plan..." *** The match was about to begin. Crono watched his opponent enter the arena. Oddly, Celes was nothing like what he had expected. She was supposed to be a cold, insensitive fighter. Instead, she appeared strangely cheerful. "Here!" she said, walking up to him. "Have a fish! It's yummy!" Crono was confused. Why was she offering him fish? Not that it didn't look appetising... "I gave these to my granddad when he was sick," said Celes. "They cured him of his illness. Or maybe they didn't, it really depends who you ask. Anyway, since they saved his life, I like to honour that memory by giving them as gifts. You like fish, don't you?" Crono shrugged, accepting the gift. He noticed, a second too late, that Celes had been wearing gloves as she handed him the fish. Crono, just touching the fish, suddenly felt violently ill. He fled from the arena. Celes wore a cruel smile as she accepted her victory by default. "Like I said," she finished, more to herself than to the now-departed Crono. "It depends on who you ask. Maybe the fish saved him... and maybe they killed him." She brushed away a few quick tears. "Don't worry, Granddad. Your death wasn't in vain, after all..." Crono: 6 Pipe Dreamer

DragoonJay "So we meet again. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master," said Lede. "Only a master of evil, Lede!" cried Mesdoram. "Well, yes. That was the general point there." In response to his subordinate's sarcastic reply, Elmdor swiped at Lede with the Masamune. And then a tactical nuclear launch obliterated one of the opponents. "So it's over. We got rid of the great evil," said Ramza. But his compatriot seemed less than enthused. "Always two there are - the master, and the apprentice," Professor Daravon said. "But then who was defeated? The master, or the apprentice?" Lede: 5 Dark Holy Elf
Pipe Dreamer Edgar was sure he had the match in the bag. This poor girl sleeps with Justin, of all people! Who could be easier to seduce? He had not, however, counted on Feena bringing a secret weapon to the battle. "This is my daughter, Justine," said Feena with the pride typical of a parent, but there was a slight bit of triumph in the voice also. Edgar was somewhat unnerved, but decided to go on with the plan. "Isn't fighting for some meaningless trophy an insult to the world's premiere adventurer? I'll bet the bedrooms in Figaro could offer you a far more satisfying sort of adventure, if you know what I mean!" he said, with a roguish wink. "An adventure, Mommy? Could I go too? Pretty please?" asked a grating, sugar-sweet voice from Edgar's waist level. It went on and on like this, until Edgar gave up in despair and impaled himself upon his Drill. Feena left the Arena with a triumphant smile, making a mental note to buy a big bag of sweets for Daddy's girl. Feena: 14 Super

DragoonJay In the Middle Ages, there was an innate order to the feudal system. God came first, followed by the royalty, and so on. Princess Toadstool is royalty. But Geno comes from a higher power. If Peach doesn't want to upset the natural order of the universe, she better do herself a favour and not show up to this match. Princess Toadstool: 2 Pipe Dreamer
RC Garnet started out the battle by casting Odin. Sorta. In the locker room, she had accidentally picked up Viki's staff by mistake. So when she tried to summon Odin, she actually summoned PS1 Odin. Needless to say, that would not have been so effective if Odin hadn't appeared right over Izlude, and smashed him into unconsciousness by landing on his head. "I wonder what would've happened if I'd summoned Ark..." Garnet wondered as she was proclaimed the winner. Izlude Tingel: 10 DragoonJay
Super "Dragon FLASH!" Rassius Luine's trademark attack seemed to have little effect on Flea. A few seconds later, dozens of tiny cuts crisscrossed Flea's face. "MY FACE! NOOOOOOO!" Flea left the arena sobbing. His vanity was his downfall... Flea: 6 MeepleLard Joe casts Silent Lake. Now, lets do a comparison here: Ducks can fight physically well. Suikoden 3 has shown us this with Sgt. Joe and Rhett. Daycare center 13 year old Caretakers can't fight. Earthbound showed us this with...Paula. Sgt. Joe holds a big scary (appropriatly yet oddly named) Duck Halberd, which can go smacky smacky or slicey slicey, depending on your interpretation. Paula uses a Frying Pan. Being hit on the head with a frying pan hurts in a comical fashion. Sgt. Joe himself has a comical appearance as is. Be is fighting Prowess, Weapon, or Comedic Value, Joe has this match in a Silent Lake war. What? No Silent Lake? Oh, Joe still has Healing and Paula still has...games lowest HP... Sgt. Joe: 7 MeepleLard Lucca spent the whole few nights figuring out a strategy to baet Alma, and she fINALLY had one. Little did Lucca know, Alma had the help of all of Ivalice to come up with a counter strategy, and mind you, as good as Lucca is, she can't match the mines of an entire country... When Lucca entered, she waited for her Opponent to do something. Imagine her suprise when Alma grabbed the Virgo Stone nad transformed into Altima before Lucca's very eyes and destroyed her MP. Now, Lucca is too smart to fall for such a trick...or rather, she's too smart to fight a big Red Angel who is about to rip her int 2, so, she honorably steps down. Alma Beoulve: 21 Shoat the Slayer
Dark Holy Elf Unlike Jacques, Gremio was actually ready for the OLD SK00L Bowser Butt-Stomp. He just wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. Bowser Koopa: 18 DragoonJay A Final Fantasy character cannot be targeted while they're in the air from jumping. Rufus attempts to emulate this by grabbing onto his helicopter and shooting at Miranda. Unfortunately, his aim is a little shaky from all the movement, a statement that can't be shared by Miranda. Especially when she decides to target the helicopter and bring it down. Rufus Shinra: 0 Zenthor Evasion, Evasion, how you save him. Magic, magic, how you kill him. Mallow, Mallow, how you use Magic. Thomas, Thomas, how you lose now. Mallow: 16 Veryslightlymad I'm sorry, everyone. I admit... it was I who was responsible for Saki's win, this week. Yes, I, VSM illegally interfered with Mustadio's performance. You see, I snuck into the Light Waiting room, before the match began, and I had my hired help switch his ordinary gun with a stone gun. Mind you, I made the idiotic mistake of hiring Relm to do the painting, and had to fight off a high-powered, sentient firearm, but I won't bore you with the details. At any rate, the match began, and ol' Musty promptly turned into a large rock. After much investigation, they deemed that he'd equipped an illegal weapon, and was thus disqualified. Saki, who had received outside assistance was also disqualified. Both contestants lost, but since Mustadio was a large rock, he lost more. Saki advanced to the next round, and both fighters lived happily ever after. Well, not Mustadio, because I also paid them to release some pigeons and black chocobos, once the match had finished. As for me, I wandered off into the sunset that day, Relm sketching me living images of the Hollywood elite, and me having to fight them off, because they wanted to kill me more than have sex with me. (Like real women. That Relm is a genius) Luckily, I still had Mustadio's real gun. Some day, I might look back on that fateful match and realize just how immature I was. Then again, I got my revenge on Mustadio, and in a manner of speaking, got to bang most of the most attractive women in show business. And in the end, isn't that all that -really- matters? Saki: 11 Dark Holy Elf
Screwed for all Time MeepleLard No matter how you scale the FF8 charactesr, the VP mages STILL have something FF8 characters do not: Magic. What is magic? In RPGs, it holds us, it sees us, it keeps the Universe together. You must embrace it. You'll always here in RPGs how Magic is an exciting and deadly force. Such examples of this are FF6 how Terra's magic ability is special, or how Rune in PS4 is special cause he can use True Magic, among other things. So what does FF8 Have? A gun, a gun/sword, fists, a Nunchaku, a whip, and a wierd flying thing, a dog to go with the wierd flying thing. Well, as far as I know, you never here about the Mystical Whip of Holyness, or the Fists of Yore! And then there's the fact that the following Equasion is also applied: FF8 Character alone = Sucks FF8 Characters as a Team = Still sucks VP Mages alone = Sucks even more than FF8 alone VP Mages as a Team = Quite a strangely powerful force that you don't wanna fight unless your Worker 8 or Chris Lightfellow And if we apply each games own Rules to the match... FF8: 3 VP Mages: 4 FF8 doesn't like these odds... FF8: 3 VP: 20 VSM's Angry, Angry, ANGRY ghost
