Week 1 - Eliminations




Ryu (BoF4) Ryu vs Serge Serge (CC)

Dark Lord Magus
Being that they're both mute, Ryu and Serge decided to have, that's right, a good old fashioned quiet game, unfortunately, that turned out to be an eternal stalemate, so Ryu turned into Kaiser and vaporized Serge. The end.

Ryu: 48
Serge: 10

*Hack* *Slash* *Boom* *pow*

And the champ walks off with yet another victory.




Nate Nanjo (Pers) Nate Nanjo vs Chaz Ashley Chaz Ashley (PS4)

superaielman
Getting Alfred: A massive amount of time and effort.
Leveling him up to see all of his spells: Way too long.
Watching Chaz nuke himself with Megid after getting hit by Love Whip: Priceless.

Nate Nanjo: 21
Chaz Ashley: 12


Royce (Lunar1) Royce vs Magus (Janus Zeal) Magus (Janus Zeal) (CT)

Meeplelard
You know, Royce would have a chance here. With her massive durability edge over Magus, and having better damage, she should put up a fight right?

Well, no, see, Royce lacks a little something called "Speed" which Magus has plenty of. And Magus has counters. And said counters can (occassionally) hit her weakness. And he has barriers totally nerfing her damage. And having all those things, really nerfs Royce's chances of winning this fight.

Royce: 16
Magus (Janus Zeal): 40

Otter
I see prophet's barrier as random, so Royce has the firepower to tank him out. Magus' durability just can't keep the pace with the witch's far superior damage.




Lavos (CT) Lavos vs Necron Necron (FF9)

Dark Lord Magus
I consider Necron complete trash compared to Lavos as a villain, in the DL, however, I consider Necron to be an out-turning punk. Poor Lavos, being matched against a being of pure annoyingness.

Lavos: 15
Necron: 39

Jo'ou Ranbu
It seemed like a good battle. Both bosses are beings of utmost power that can destroy entire worlds. Both of them have absolutely no personality. Both of them are often scoffed at best and scorned as an average. At their worst, we have full-on rallies on Eastern Europe against their sinful existence (albeit not on the same token as Zidane, but that's another matter altogether). Everything appointed this match as very interesting.

Except for the fact that Lavos utterly sucks in battle, like being a giant one-eyed astronaut rooster wasn't enough for him. Necron, despite being a creature of freakish cuteness and absolutely no relevance, with Kefka-esque durability to boot, doesn't. So, in a battle of two "villains" that are completely forgettable, you just have to give a nod to the one who can do things other than cluck, suck with magic and throw fairly large stones at an enemies as their best. Game, set, match, Necron. And I didn't even mention how the "Eternal Darkness" title is fairly cooler than "Chokey Chicken From The Moon".





Millenia (G2) Millenia vs Jeff Jeff (EB)

Otter
Poor Jeff. Pretty bad luck for him to draw a status whore in his first appearance. At least he'll get to dominate the downgrade pools.

Millenia: 33
Jeff: 9


Jibril (SO2) Jibril vs Lady Harken Lady Harken (WA)

AAA
Jibril's favorite snack has a crunch, metallic outisde, but a chewy, oily middle.

However, that doesn't really matter when Harken slices through the robes of the hideous eating freak and starts carving herself up some cannibal.

In today's lesson, we learn that just because you can eat someone doesn't mean that they're going to passably go down your throat.

Jibril: 11
Lady Harken: 33


Bruiser Khang (ToD) Bruiser Khang vs Cloud Strife Cloud Strife (FF7)

superaielman
You don't think Bruiser remembers the brutal beating Stahn put on him right before he joined the party? It made him weary of blond haired heroes in general.

So who can blame him for fleeing the arena in terror, when Cloud comes in..dressed as a woman?

Bruiser Khang: 22
Cloud Strife: 23

Sacaru
Cloud has some strong moves I'll give him that it's just that they are alllimit breaks and as all FF7 players know your limit bar stars at ZERO, here that all you FF7 fan boys ZERO, he'll be anihilated before he can even manage a half-way decent attack.




Ultros (FF6) Ultros vs Rudy Roughknight Rudy Roughknight (WA)

cwazymammal
Damn you Ultros! Damn you! First match of Rudy, and he gets somebody with a status he can't protect against! ><

Ultros: 33
Rudy Roughknight: 19

Starphoenix das Helpoemer
There was one thing standing between Ultros and another championship:

(1) His opponent wasn't female.

(2) His opponent handles portable nukes.

Next time on the RPGDL... The fighters partake in a platter of fried calamari!

shadow slayer34
I think rudy will win.





Ryudo (G2) Ryudo vs chaos chaos (XS)

superaielman
In a slugfest like this, first strike matters for a lot.


Ryudo goes first, and hits harder. Not a hard match to call.

Ryudo: 30
chaos: 14

SageAcrin
Unfortunatly, Ryudo was eaten by a Gnosis soon after the battle.




Raven (FE7) Raven vs Eliwood Eliwood (FE7)

hooah
Eliwood...Raven.

Raven...Eliwood.

Eliwood...flyby hero comes down from the sky.

Raven.

Raven: 37
Eliwood: 9

Divine Comedy
lol at lucius dialog and eliwood gets superior to raven with proper leveling and a nice sword called durandal or something




Frog (CT) Frog vs Midboss Midboss (Disgaea)

Jo'ou Ranbu
RPG logic is something weird. Bird feathers revive dead characters. Randomly walking around outside leads to encounters with mind-numbingly strange monsters. Killing said monsters repeatedly automatically makes someone stronger. Those same monsters continuously respawn, making the fauna of RPG Lands effectively indestructible. Frail, depressed and idiotic long-haired bishies swing swords twice their size and weight like they were ribbons. Intelligent, cunning villains retire to a hideout for the rest of the game waiting for their antagonists to get strong enough to whomp their asses instead of slitting their throats off the bat (well... maybe they aren't that cunning and intelligent, but that's besides the point.). The heroes can cast spells that are capable of destroying planets, but are forced to turn around and find another way for the maze when faced by a simple pebble smaller than their legs.

So, it should be no surprise that an amphibian drawn by Akira Toriyama is superior to an... angel? Enforcer of Justice? Whatever Midboss is. Point is: even Pauly Shore should be able to own anything done by Akira Toriyama in real life logic. In RPGs, things don't work quite like that. Damn ribbiting swordsman with crappy artwork.

Frog: 35
Midboss: 11


Rhett (S3) Rhett vs Ershin Ershin (BoF4)

SageAcrin
Ershin thinks that Ershin should have had a more distinguished opponent than a duck.

Unfortunatly for Ershin, she has no room to talk, as a giant tin can.

...When you think of it like that, it's one hell of a funny match.

Rhett: 13
Ershin: 36




Kwanda Rosman (S1) Kwanda Rosman vs Simone Verdricci Simone Verdricci (S2)

superaielman
Simone recevied many a curious look when he appeared in the arena. Instead of his usual stylish headpiece, he wore a full metal helmet, along the lines of what Kwanda wore. He had his usual nobleman's clothes on beneith the neck.

"My dear Kwanda, I'm afraid the crudeness of the axe to the face fad is far more than a noble like myself should have to take. As such, I am well prepared for this event."

Kwanda leaned on his axe, and spat out a short reply. "I must agree. An axe to the face is crude and ineffective. However..." Kwanda picked up his heavy axe, and threw it straightaway at Simone's chest. The blade easily piecred the thin layer of clothing. Simone fell to the ground, gasping.

"... An axe to the chest is quite the effective tactic."

The Iron Wall left the arena, safely proving that perhaps he had a few offensive tricks to back up that legendary defense.

Kwanda Rosman: 40
Simone Verdricci: 3

SageAcrin
In the end, the power of friendship just can't handle an axe to the face.

*Flees.*




Wilder (S3) Wilder vs Wil Wil (FE7)

Otter
Wil and Wilder can take each other out in two hits. Wil's faster. It's duck hunt time.

Wilder: 13
Wil: 28


Kuromimi (S1) Kuromimi vs Nina Wyndia Nina Wyndia (BoF3)

Jo'ou Ranbu
This was fabled to be one of the saddest matches ever in the DL - one that would garner almost as much yawning and enraged hair-ripping out of the spectators as the already legendary ShihoXPalmer bout. So, knowing that she might be knocked out of the arena by a sneeze and having a particularly unimpressive skillset, Nina decided to take the wise approach towards the ugly kobold: she made an exchange deal with him one day before the match. If he gave her the match, she'd give him... well... a lot of shiny crap and meat. Kuromimi didn't like it, though, and readied himself to destroy the frail Wyndian princess. With an enraged whelp, he charged towards Nina with all his might.

Then she cried for help, pathetically fainting afterwards.

The ensuing result was that Ryu heard Nina and came for her help for some unfathomable reason, and proceeded to break Kuromimi's bones one by one. As the IRT Kaiser.

The next day, when she was called to the match, how large her surprise was when she found out Kuromimi was hospitalized, thus, unable to fight. She was even more surprised to find out that Ryu got arrested by the RPGDL Animal Rights Protection Squad, though. It seems that the legitimate defense clause is helpless against rabid animal rights zealots.

Kuromimi: 16
Nina Wyndia: 36


Lyonesse (Brig) Lyonesse vs Tao Tao (SF1)

superaielman
Lyonesse may be a quiet girl, but she isn't a fool.

As such, bringing her Phoneix along with her to the ring was both a brilliant move, and a really, really bad break for Tao.

Poor Tao. Maybe next time you'll get a better draw.

Lyonesse: 13
Tao: 11

Karaoke Showdown!

Otter
It's nice to see Alma and Bowie tied together inextricably in a bonus match specifically designed for driving OK insane. It's too bad that Jowy wins from the get-go because he's the only one who got a decent song out of the bargain. The Beatles? Like the yaoi bait didn't have enough fangirls.

Lucius - I Feel Like a Woman: 12
Drachma - Bye Bye Bye: 6
Kuja - I Feel Pretty: 11
Ashton - Dancing Queen: 7
Alma - The Dance of Micropants: 5
Laharl - Love Me Tender: 6
Crono - Cotton Eye Joe: 11
Jowy - Back in the USSR: 14

HopefulDeath
There's a reason Crono doesn't talk.

Why, he's been resting his voice for this VERY moment. With the desire to sing building up inside of him. He always dreamed of becoming a singer! Of course his mother forced him to take up swordsmanship, but he's never forgotten his real desires. And he'll show everyone... With the best damned Cotton Eye Joe you've ever heard.

Or Laharl will end up blowing up and taking everyone with him. Depends on who goes first...

NPNG
Kuja goes one step further on the flamer scale and beats everyone down with his mad showtoon skills and over exposure to his man-thong.

Erril
I don't what will turn out, but what I do know is that in the bonus, Ashton can outsing a barrel, and that may put him ahead.

Jo'ou Ranbu
God, this is one hell of a match. If I must choose one, it'd be Crono, for the simple fact that he just won't sing, which puts him miles above everyone else. But Lucius singing Shania Twain should be priceless as well.

metroid composite
Drachma makes anything just plain cooler. Know the ultimate Skies of Arcadia move where all four members fly up to the moon in a merge of Superman and sparkly rainbows? Drachma makes that look far cooler, just for the sheer fact that he weighs more than the rest of the party combined.

Now picture Drachma in the bye bye bye music video. Hanging from strings? His grappling hook hand has its own string! Running from a scantily clad woman by hopping from train car to train car? His leaps would shake the train so much that the poor girl would fall off. Clambering around a randomly rotating mini-room? Screw that, just punch through the wall like a real man. Doing the Justin Timberlake pelvic thrust? Well...fine, there's some things even Drachma can't make cool, but you have to admit that it is more amusing when he does it!

Neolchandler@aol.com
Laharl singing, God would i love to hear that.... MAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Grefter
'NSeeD is just so damned funny a concept that it is outright disturbing how fitting it also manages to be.

MepMasta
Lucius steps up and begins singing country... Mep shoots him.
Drachma steps up and starts singing N'sync or BSB whoever did that... Mep fires again
Kuja steps up and begins... wait no Mep shoots Kuja for dressing that way.
Ashton singing dancing queen? SHOT!
Alma and Laharl... come on now both their songs suck. SHOT and SHOT!

We're now down to Crono and Jowy and my six shooter is out of ammo. Oh yeah... Crono can't make a sound!
