Week 1 - Eliminations




Ghaleon (Lunars) Ghaleon vs Cyril Cyril (SO2)

Tylor H.
Cyril vs. Ghaleon "Excellent!" Cyril ranted to him as the various Godlike matches went on. "One by one they eliminate themselves! Soon, only one of them shall remain, beated and bloodied! And then I, Cyril, shall attack that one after he has done all my work for me, and I shall crush him! And then I shall be champion of Godlike!" His deranged laughter was cut short as a dry voice spoke up behind him. "You know, it does help if you don't tell us these things." Cyril whirled around to face noone else than Ghaleon. "Damnit! Why is it that my pawns always sneak up on me while I'm scheming!" Cyril raged at the Magic Emperor. "So many reasons, I doubt we have the time to list them all." "Well, it's not like I need all of you. My plan will still work fine even if I deal with you myself!" Cyril said as he used a Wind of Destruction, only to see it falter against Ghaleon's Chaos Shield. "Ah yes, because that plan worked so well last time. Come, Cyril! You couldn't even defeat a group of half-trained weaklings. What hope do you have against the likes of me!" Ghaleon sneered as he recast his Chaos Shield... "Last time was... a slight miscalculation. But now it shall work! now is my time!" He said as he recast Wind of Destruction to a similar effect. "Oh, it's certainly your time. Time to die that is!" And with that, Ghaleon used his Fate Storm which, somewhat surprisingly, took down the Wise Man in a blow.

Ghaleon: 19
Cyril: 1

Eternal Spirit
No amount of magic power is getting Cyril through this. Two words: Chaos Shield

Sir Alex
Chaos Shield > Wind of Destruction




Zeromus (FF4) Zeromus vs Lenneth Valkyrie Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs)

Eternalspirit
Weak, followed by a poke. Next?

Zeromus: 13
Lenneth Valkyrie: 9

Sir Alex
Zero's speed > Lenneth.

Meeplelard
"Your sins lay heavy upon you, defiler of souls, by the Holy Law, you shall be obliterated!"
"Fool! A being of darkness like yourself could never hope to sustain the power of the Crystal! Mwahahaha! Though my body may die, my soul will live on!"
"...Right...can we just finish this match"
"Oh, its already won! Hahahahah!"
The entire audience was, well, bored at how lame a villain, as usual, Zeromus was being, thankfully, he was right about one thing: The match was ending soon...
"It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine Assault! Nibelung Valesti! You have no hope of survival!"
"What! No! As long as there is evil in the...RPGDL...I will live on!"
"Your soul has been released, you have no reason to remain here...this season..."




Erim (Lufias) Erim vs Seymour Seymour (FFX)

Tylor H.
Basic rules of RPGs state, that the best way to heal undead is to hit them with death spells. Which means, that while the living are in for a rough fight against Erim, our unsent maester is her worst nightmare. Toss in quadra cast level 3 elemental spells, and it looks like poor Erim is getting packed off to yet another sequel.

Erim: 4
Seymour: 12


Droguza (AtL4) Droguza vs Zophar Zophar (Lunar2)

Superaielman
Fate Storm pastes Droguza. No amount of speed, ranged damage, or boss HP will change that.

Droguza: 0
Zophar: 13




Altima (FFT) Altima vs Georg Prime Georg Prime (Suikos)

Starphoenix
While Altima is quite the stinker for a final boss, and Georg does have a remarkable amount of attack, levels, popularity... You're wondering where I'm going with this, aren't you? At any cost, despite the general craptastic difficulty of Altima, there's one place where he/she shines: Spanking Georg with magic damage. Georg Prime, despite his rather impressive build, sucks horridly when placed against magic. Hell, he'd most likely get scalded by Lemina bopping him over the head with a staff of hers. So you can imagine the liquified DEATH Ultima All would hold for him...

Altima: 19
Georg Prime: 1

Eternalspirit
S2 doesn't have status protection. Altima has a good status attack. I think we all know where this is going.

Meeplelard
I really wanna make something funny about Georg trying to OHKO Altima nad failing miserably, but alas, the fact that Altima is fast, and guns Georg down instnatly with Grand Cross or any of her other plethora attacks nulls any chance of me making any humor out of this, so to be blunt, Altima wins.




Edea Kramer (FF8) Edea Kramer vs Beatrix Beatrix (FF9)

Meeplelard
Beatrix is a Female Swordsman, with some low level white Magic, and high physical stats all around, from Final Fantasy 9.
Edea is a Mage, which is self explanatory, and she's from Final Fantasy 8.
Well, this is a classic fight of Wizard vs. Knight, or should I say, Black Wizard vs. Knight. yes, tihs goes down all the way to the ORIGINAL Final Fantasy game, in comparing the Knight to the Black Wizard. So, thus, if one is proven to win there, surely, their female counterpart will win this match, so let compare.
Knight excels in strong physical attacks that do massive damage and has high criticla hit rate.
Black Wizards are known for having low HP and horrid defenses, taking hits as bad as a certain mage from the Suikoden Series
Black Wizard is quite reliant on killing things with XXXX, his Instant Death that never fails.
Shame the enitre FF1 Cast is Immune to instnat death, thanks to Pro Rings, and the Knight is no exception
Black Wizard has lots of elemental spells, Knight resists every element from FF1
Knight has game best HP, Black Wizard has game worst HP
Knight can heal, Black Wizard can not.
Knight has Mute, Black Wizard is a mage who being Muted is deadly
Therefore, the Knight kicks the Black Wizards ass soundly, and thus, throughout the times, the 8th Mage like warrior of the FF series loses to the 9th the physically built warrior from the FF series. Well, ok, my maths off, but you get the point.

Edea Kramer: 2
Beatrix: 18

Tylor H
Beatrix opened up the match by casting Reflect. She had heard of her foe's death magic, and refused to be vulnerable to it. Edea countered, using Reflect on herself. This amused Beatrix, but it was no problem to her, she wasn't going to use holy anyways. And she used Shock, hurting Edea badly. Edea simply smiled though, and cast Death... on herself. Beatrix's final thought as the redirected spell hit her, was that she should've seen it coming.

Sir Alex
Edea probably should whomp Beatrix, but no vote for me.




Hiro (Lunar2) Hiro vs Hugo Hugo (S3)

Eternalspirit
The two fighters stepped onto the arena, cheered on by their respective casts. Hugo drew his knives while Hiro drew his legendary Ghaleon's Sword. Hugo, of course, began the battle by charging Winds of Sleep. Ironically, he was the one sleeping after hearing three all too famous words. "BANG, you're dead!"

Hiro: 14
Hugo: 5

Tylor H
Hiro has two different ways to win this match in a blow. Hugo, has Wind of Sleep, which will keep Hiro from using either. And the True Fire Rune, which will then get Hugo a win over his sleeping foe.




Noa (LoL) Noa vs Tatjana Tatjana (AtL4)

Ruinchaser
Poor Noa. She couldn't figure out why she couldn't hit Tatjana, but a couple Sigma Storms later, she was out like a light. "I should've stayed with the wolf," thought Terra. At least the wolf would've used magic...

Noa: 3
Tatjana: 5




Myau (PS1) Myau vs Lemina Ausa Lemina Ausa (Lunar2)

OblivionKnight
The big question for this match, is whether Lemina can actually hurt a cute little kitty cat. I mean, look at Myau; he's so cute!
Of course, this question is rendered obsolete when we actually sit down and think for a second. This is Lemina...this is the girl who put up with Ruby for an entire adventure. Ruby gives a bad name for cats everywhere. After taking an entire adventure and epilogue with the flying cat, it's likely Lemina has developed a distinct hate for the furry critters. Hence, with no qualms about hurting such an adorable animal, Lemina easily plaster the cat. Hey, she can open up a Chinese restaurant now! Myau soup, anyone?

Myau: 4
Lemina Ausa: 6

MeepleLard
"Wait! I have to fight a CAT? You can't be serious? Think about the Publicity the leader of the Magic Guild in Vane would have if people were to learn she hurt a cat!"

"hey! I'm not a cat...well, ok, yes I am, but I'm not an ordinary one, now fight me! Anyway, WalL!"

"What? You can talk! *Light Bulb pops in head* Say, did you jsut cast a Mega spell?"

"Yes I did, why?"

"Well, I run a magic guild, see, and a talking cat like yourself with magic aptitude would surely be a great mascot to get in some mega cash...er...I mean, some Mega revival of the guild so others can learn magic too."

"What are you getting at? Are you tricking me into joining you?"

"No, if you promise to be the mascot for the Guild, I'll forfeit the match, its a win win situation, see" Lemina said, winking

"...Fine, I'll help you out"

And thus, Lemina through the white flag, feeling happy that she FINALLY had the means of beating Ramus in thier bet, and it was all thanks to her opponent too. Myau, unfortunatly, didn't realize what hne got himself into.




Eiko Carol (FF9) Eiko Carol vs Philia Felice Philia Felice (ToD)

RC
Before the match, Eiko decided to make herself a special meal of Oglop Stew. One of the oglops, however, was ill, which gave her food poisoning. Philia wins by default, thanks to Eiko being in a comatose state.

Eiko Carol: 2
Philia Felice: 6


Chat (ToE) Chat vs Mog Mog (FF6)

Super
No Moogleskin purse for Chat... on the other hand, a well placed spear throw from Mog netted him a cool new hat, and a win.

Chat: 5
Mog: 6


Jibril (SO2) Jibril vs Beowulf Kadmus Beowulf Kadmus (FFT)

Sir Alex
Defense doesn't save you from Jibril. Evasion doesn't save you from Jibril. Speed and ranged attacks save you from Jibril.

Beo... lacks speed.

A giant sucking sound was heard from the south, as all of our tax dollars- er, Temple Knights got taken to Mexico by Jibril.

Jibril: 14
Beowulf Kadmus: 8

Tylor H
Jibril had a simple strategy, and one that worked quite well. He ate stuff. However, Beowulf also had a simple strategy that worked even better. Stay away and use Drain. Four drains later, and yet another teamster lay fallen before Beo's sword magic.





chaos (XS) chaos vs Garet Garet (GS)

OblivionKnight
For the first few minutes, it seemed that a staring contest had ensued between chaos and Garet. Neither made a move, as they both continue to stare at each other.
"You know," Garet spoke, after several minutes of waiting, "you don't look anything like...um..."

He fumbled around in his pockets for a few seconds, and pulled out a dictionary. He read from it: "One; a great confusion, complete disorder. Two; the infinite space or formless matter before the universe existed. Not like either..."

Garet stopped speechless as he looked up from the book. For his opponent, formerly dressed in very short shorts, was now wearing nothing but his birthday suit.

"Confused yet?" chaos said to his opponent. Garet nodded, and fainted, giving chaos his first RPGDL victory.

chaos: 10
Garet: 0


Shir Gold (PS2) Shir Gold vs Porom Porom (FF4)

Tylor H
There comes a time for all ne'er do wells when they see the light as it were, and realise the error of their ways. This moment came for Shir just a few minutes into the match as Porom finished casting Holy.

Shir Gold: 2
Porom: 10

MeepleLard
"And Porom is the Victor by lack of player showing up!"

The day after the Match, Rolf found Shir at his House.

"Shir, where were you? I was hoping to see you in that match, as was everyone else"

"Oh, the wind called, so I thought I'd got for a Walk...Look! I even managed to get us another item too"

Well, Rolf was happy that Shir was relocated, and found a new item, but it didn't change the fact that Shir still lost the match.




Futch (Suikos) Futch vs Laguna Loire Laguna Loire (FF8)

MeepleLard
Laguna entered the Arena with a Boom Box. He turned it on, and likewise "Man with the Machine Gun" started playing. The Crowd cheered...

Futch sighed. "Furious Blow!" Futch Yelled, shining his Lightning Rune. The Boom Box was then hit head on, and destroyed, tape and all, and the music stopped

"No! You didn't! Without that Music, I can't fight! Ah, My Leg is cramping up!" Laguna said, limping off the stage. Futch, meanwhile, was enjoying a quick easy trip to the quaterfinals for Light

Futch: 19
Laguna Loire: 1

Tylor H
Futch was confident. He had a spear and parry.

Laguna was even more confidant. He had a machinegun, and you can't parry those.




Rody (S3) Rody vs Guile Guile (CC)

MeepleLard
Rody is a Mage from Suikoden w/out an Command Runes Guile is a Mage from Chrono Cross w/out any Elements Seems fair, right? Well no, see, while Chrono Cross mages just suck at Physicals, a Suikoden mage having a good physical is unheard of, and Rody, even with his amazing 2 swings, is being laughed it. It doesn't help that Guile can still summon swordsout of nowhere to slaughter Rudy

Rody: 3
Guile: 13

A Dragon's Test
Lloyd (LoD), Kain (FF4), Kane (PS2), Freya (FF9) vs. Storm, Dirt, Fire, and Ice Dragons (FF6)
~ES/Meeple


Sir Alex
As for the bonus match... doesn't Lloyd OHKO dragons? Yeah.

Lloyd, Kain, Kane, Freya: 14
Dragons: 6

MeepleLard
They might be meant to Slay Dragons...but it doesn't help when Lloyd is the only one left after Stormy opens with Cyclonic, and Fire follows up with Flare Star killing everyone but Lloyd. And then it doesn't help that the Dragon Buster can't kill things that immune to instant Death. Match to the 4 Dragons
