Week 4 - Quarterfinals




Fou-Lu (BoF4) Fou-Lu vs Sephiroth Sephiroth (FF7)

DragoonJay
Fou-Lu found Sephiroth within the training complex. Shirtless, he was brushing up on his offensive postures, while a growing crowd of drooling women watched in awe.

"I see not why thou art training in such a manner," the God Emperor said calmly. "It would serve thy time much better to concentrate on the magics thou doth wield."

"Tried that before," said Sephiroth quietly as the Masamune sliced down. "Didn't work," as the sword arced back upward. "Obviously, I have to try something new," he concluded, as he lowered the blade and set it down gently.

"A test of physical fortitude, rather than magical prowess. 'Tis an interesting proposition, I must say. I shalt leave thee to thy training."

The week came and went. Sephiroth continued his controlled regimen of swordplay, while Fou-Lu did nothing to train. As the match began, neither transformed into their larger, more monstrous forms, leaving the audience surprised.

"So you've decided to accept my offer, then?" asked Sephiroth.

"I considered it, and I finally came to a conclusion."

Fou-Lu's body began to change to the familiar form of the Tyrant Dragon. "Nay."

And Season 4-4 happened all over again...

Fou-Lu: 25
Sephiroth: 14

Sir Alex
There are dragons, and then there are perfect beings. There are claws, and there is the Masamune. There are waves of darkness, spiraled out from the breath of a god hanging high above the atmosphere. And there are waves of radioactive particles spiraling out from the destruction of a star which melt anything hanging high above the protective atmosphere of a planet into glowing slime.

Broc
The not-so-evil perfect soldier may have hordes of screaming fangirls at his beck and call, but he was beaten with ease once before by a failure, along with the failure's misfit friends. Now Sephiroth faces someone who is anything but a failure: Fou-Lu. As the dust settles and Fou-Lu walks off the arena a victor, Sephiroth will find himself a bloodied stain yet again. But he can be consoled by knowing that this time he wasn't beaten by a failure, but by a God. Sephiroth would do well to stop trying to achieve a Godlike status and return to trying to defeat annoying little girls...

Monkeyfinger
The match was swift, brutal, and intense. The godly dragon opened with his trademark Dark Wave attack, staggering the One-Winged Seraph, but not killing him. Not one to sit back and take that sort of abuse, Sephiroth countered with Shadow Flare, weakening his divne opponent. Fou-Lu, badly hurt, went with another Dark Wave..... but he was too badly weakened for this attack to put his bishie opponent away. A second Shadow Flare brought Fou-lu right near death's door. Too weak to send another wave of darkness at Sephiroth, Fou-Lu attempted one last maneuver... he used his formidable strength to take a physical swing at Sephiroth. Sephiroth deftly flew out of Fou-Lu's way, raised his wing up high, and brought it straight down on him, slaying the mighty dragon.

Sephiroth gloated over the fallen Tyrant.

Then Astral came out and raped Sephy like a midget inmate.




Myria (BoFs) Myria vs Melfice Melfice (G2)

Xeroma
Before the match, Melfice was thinking on how to use Myria as an ingredient for his soup.

"Hm...... seeing as I have many wisemen and warlocks already, I might as well just use the goddess as a seasoning"

When he entered the arena, Myria opened in her usual way.

"Will you be my friend?"

Melfice, upon seeing such a sweet little girl as his opponent, laughed, and realised how bad of an ingredient she'd make. "Too sweet, won't work... I might as well just kill her then!"

With that, Melfice used his signature Wailing Soul Slash attack...... and watched as Myria transformed and Holocaust'ed his ass into a fryed carcass.

Myria may nto be a good seasoning for the Wailing Soul Soup, but the Horns of Valmar make the perfect seasoning for Holocaust Steak.

Myria: 22
Melfice: 11




Keith Valentine (SH1) Keith Valentine vs Auron Auron (FFX)

Monkeyfinger
Well damn. This Keith has some BROKEN offensive abilities.

.....Well, broken by Auron, anyway.

Keith Valentine: 7
Auron: 29


Jowy Atreides (S2) Jowy Atreides vs Wugui Wugui (SH1)

Nanashi
Even if Jowy could bring his choice of 5 Suiko2 PCs to help him in this match, Wugui still wins in a slaughter.

Am I the only one who finds this absolutely hilarious?

Jowy Atreides: 9
Wugui: 24

Dunefar
Wow, Wugui. Those mages sure hate you, even if they have a True Rune. Enjoy the finals after laughing off Jowy's physical.





Jerin (Lufia1) Jerin vs Seifer Almasy Seifer Almasy (FF8)

Jo'ou Ranbu
Jerin's elf pride was at stake in this match. The semi-finals of the tournament were a matter of honor to the elves, and she should not lose. A surge of adrenalin went through her spine as she entered the arena.... and..... there was Seifer.

When she entered, Seifer looked at her, confused, maybe lustful. She sighed. Her elven nobility shouldn't be wasted on a fight against such a moron. Seifer started nodding his head, looking for something in Jerin's chest area, like a puppy. The elvish girl hung her head in annoyance. She raised her head, looked at Seifer's hopeful, teary eyes and said sharply:

- I am not a girl. Now stop staring at my flat torax... lest you want me to tell Squall you're into boys.

In a matter of seconds, Seifer's face went dry. He started muttering silent "But, how, wha?" and the like. He stared in disbelief once again....

- But I SWEAR I saw your breasts! You HAVE breasts, don't you?
- Maybe I do. But so does Guilty Gear's Bridget. He's just as much of a girl as I am.

After those words, Seifer began twitching in disgust, dropping his gunblade to the floor. Finally, the dog knight ran away in disgust, crying his eyes out due to the warped fantasies his mind set up. Grinning sarcastically, Jerin couldn't be happier. She got both a blackmailing victim AND a DL victory on the same day.

Jerin: 23
Seifer Almasy: 8


Maya Amano (Pers2) Maya Amano vs Beatrice Beatrice (WA3)

Starphoenix das Helpoemer
If there's one thing that Beatrice doesn't need, it's someone who can block sleep status.

So lo and behold what happens when Maya dons Maia Custom to her battle, a Mind/Nerve Voiding with no physical weakness? Um... yeah.

Even with Artemis, Maya's Defenses aren't going to be OHKO'ed by Beatrice.

Sorry Dreaming One, you've just gotten a course in Engrish... the door is thataway.

Maya Amano: 12
Beatrice: 9

Dunefar
Maya wins...again?

Yep, she shuts down sleep and magic, meaning Beatrice can go back to being an Anastasia look alike. Good riddance to bad dream demons.





Cecile (S3) Cecile vs Jacques Jacques (S3)

Starphoenix das Helpoemer
To avoid sounding like Albedo in this case, I'll simply say that Cecile is the better tank and better built character stat-wise.

Oh for the love of Maya Amano, she slaughters Jacques in close quarters. The fact that she's decked out in full body armor should atest to this. Then add in a decent attack...

Why is she in Light?

Cecile: 30
Jacques: 10


Slash (CT) Slash vs Ronfar Ronfar (Lunar2)

Jo'ou Ranbu
A supposedly powerful melee fighter... not being able to take down a puny damage healer... god, this season's Light matches have been a regular laugh riot. Things can't get much more wrong than this.

Slash: 12
Ronfar: 25

The Green Monster

~gorha/Doma


Xeroma
As Edge went off the coast of Junon into the sea, he made a few "extra" preperations. Namely a sack of Fuma's and Elixers that he kept after FF4.

Upon nearing the location of the WEAPON, Edge, thought over his strategy to himself again. He may be blindly perverted, but he wasn't stupid. He knew a full on assault would equal him getting splattered across the ocean floor. So he decided to do something that would normally kill someone, should they face Emerald.


"Hey, you big pile of shit! Over here!" cried the somewhat foolhardy ninja.

Now, Emerald is a really a sensitive weapon that just wants to be left alone. After all, he kept getting picked on by Ultimate and Ruby for "being a wimp". Why else would he reside in the ocean? Now he must being mocked by girly men the size of one of his jewel-cannon-things.

He had enough.

Fortunately, Edge prepared for this by spending all his MP creating images of himself throughout the sea. By the time he was done, there were Edge's as far as the eye could see. A true nightmare for women.

Emerald was obviously not only pissed, but confused as hell at this site, and started firing as much of his power at as many places as he could, hoping he would hit the real Edge after a while.

What Emerald DIDN'T notice was the fact that during his confusion, Edge snuck onto his back. After chugging an Elixer, Edge pokes Emerald in the back of the head after enough images died with a few Fumas. He then spent his MP making images of himself.

Emerald however, decided to use Air Tam Storm and blow up all the images at once, and slightly damage Edge.

Edge was caught off guard by this, but he knew he could still win. He had another idea. He decided to take the "Ramsus" apporach at doing this.

He chugged an Elixer and spent his MP with images again, but this time did something different. The images shouts could be heard all the way to Junon.

"TRASH! WIMP! WEAKLING! YOU ARE NO WEAPON! DIAMOND WEAPON WAS BETTER THAN YOU!" etc; etc;.

Emerald, after hearing all this, did the equivelent of breaking down and crying. Also known as expending a lot of energy blasting into a wall.

During this time, Edge deflty planted a couple dozen Fuma's into Emerald, and then finished him off with his trusty Spoon. After that, he called the boats in Junon to pick up Emerald's carcass and ship it to his home in the rebuilt Eblan Castle.

After harvesting Emerald's carcass for minerals for new weapons and armor, Edge grabbed a chunk about the size of his head and went to visit Rydia. He had never felt this golden since KO'ing Orlandu a long time ago, but this time, there weren't any consequences for him to worry about.

Rydia on the other hand, nearly had a heart attack at the sight she was presented with when Edge knocked on her house a day later.......


Edge: 34
Emerald: 16

Stampede
Edge may not be able to hide, but he sure can sneak. Luckily for him, that's going to come in handy. Having consulted with a Silverberg or two to come up with a plan, Edge is now armed with an ingenious plan.

Upon beginning what he has dubbed Operation: "attack from behind and then run screaming", Edge surprisingly attacked Emerald Weapon from behind with his one-shot attack. He then cast smoke and ran away screaming.

Since Emerald Weapon can never stay in one place for long (possibly due to ADD), all Edge needed to do was wait for it to move before he could get his piece of the thing's carapace.

gorha
Sure, the BDL Spoon might not kill Emerald WEAPON, but it certainly should be strong enough to scoop out a nice chunk of it to bring back to Rydia. Unfortunately for Edge, ninjas are horribly weak against water, dying instantly if they even fall into a puddle, as anyone who played Shinobi knows. Fortunately, he does have that Underwater Materia. Emmy is SO spooned.

superaielman
If there's one thing that the DL's shown time and time again, that Edge can be outslugged, outthought, and generally outmatched... and still come through for the sake of mass perversion. He may get beaten, he may get crushed, and he may end up getting killed several times over... but he won't end up failing.

Even a WEAPON can't stop the Ninja Prince's hormones.

Veryslightlymad
Folks, this is -EDGE- we're talking about. Sure, he's a ninja, but remember how he has a penchant for rushing after much more capable opponents with attacks that won't hurt them? Like Rubicant? Attacking Rubicant with fire?

Let's put it another way:
You know those little guys in Zelda 2 that run after you with their swords held straight out, and kinda bounce up and down ineffectually, and don't even grant you experience when they die, because they suck so badly?

Yeah. Those guys taught Edge tactics. Sure, he's a capable fighter. He's just a stupid fighter.

Mad Fnorder
Ninjas are masters of many things- Stealth, disguise, combat- but also are masters of tactics- knowing when and how to strike to the best of their abilities.

While not the brightest of Ninjas, Edge still thought long and hard about his method of attack. Finally, he'd developed a plan- it wasn't the most reliable, but when fighting a beast such as Emerald Weapon, risks had to be taken.

He started attacking Emerald from long range, using his Blitzes to awaken the beast from the water. He was hurt by the Aire Tam Storm, as well as the ensuing Lasers, but still he did not close to melee, instead choosing to lure the behemoth out of the water. As it began to surface, Edge grinned. It was time for stage two, as he thew a small object onto Emerald's leg.

A small, frog-shaped sticker.

Suddenly from the side, Quina, whom Edge had earlier lured near the battlefield, wielding the Break Damage Limit Spoon, exercised all of his Cutlery-based combat experience on lunging at Emerald. Sure enough, the infinitely sharp Spoon cut a gouge out of Emerald's ankle. Before the beast could continue the attack, Edge used his Smoke Blitz, escaping with Quina.

"That thing scary. And not tasty." Quina rumbled. "I even swallow big chunk, and still not tasty." Edge grinned and readied his katana. "Big chunk, Eh?"

AAA
You really think that some paltry uber-boss with gobs of HP and a extremely strong attack in Aire Tam Storm is going to stop a horny teenageer? That's a ninja, no less?

Hah! Edge's hormone fueled mayhem easily enables him to get a chunk of EMERALD, and wins the heart of Rydia.

...At least until he hands it over, and she feins a headache and cancels their date. But hey, at least she gave Edge hope, right?
