The finalists from Round 1 are now facing off in a five person cage match, Royal Rumble style. Who will come out on top?
Shadow, because he'd slit his mama's throat for a nickel!
I would pee in my neighbor's back yard for a dollar but it doesn't mean I could beat Sabin in a cage fight.
Words to live by.
In a cage fight, the monk obviously wins.
You people are forgetting that Terra is the only one of these characters who can wield Genji Glove + Offering + Atma Weapon + Illumina. It doesn't matter how badass a monk you are; you can't withstand that kind of assault. If Terra gets the first turn, she wins immediately. And if that doesn't work, she can just cast Ultima five times with Gem Box + Quick.
There is no first turn. It's a cage fight; not turn based combat.
And we're not still arguing about who has what equipped.
Technically anyone can cast Ultima five times with Gembox+QuickQuote:

Okay then, I'm going to say that Shadow has the merit award, gem box, illumina and and a dirk equipped.
Cyan has the offering and economizer equipped.
Why? Simply so that Terra can't use them.
Explain how Terra wins now.
Terra, cause she fried fifty magitek soldiers in a few minutes, and mechanically, she has the most build potential out of the group whereas everyone else is kind of limited.
She's also referred to as one of the strongest beings in the game, I mean that has to account for something. She can just fly to the top of the cage and rain down magic death on all of them, not to mention her huge power boosts in Esper form, even just using in game mechanics gives her an advantage unless everyone teamed up to fight her first.
Personality wise, Cyan is too honorable to hit a girl, he sure as hell wouldn't let Sabin hit her and I doubt he would want to since he's too nice. Shadow might actually try something but technically he's outmatched since Terra isn't exactly a push over fighter and all four of them will be too busy taking down Umaro anyway since he is only loyal to Mog. after Umaro is gone, I'm pretty sure the three boys will gladly take a dive for Terra since she's pretty sweet anyway. Terra probably wouldn't even fight unless she goes into a rage when she feels they are picking on Umaro too much. I don't think any of them would stand a chance if she was angry and actually trying.
Sabin will suplex the cage

Sabin, though. He's a mean, lean wrestling machine.
Saying Terra could beat Sabin in a cage match is like saying Sabin could beat Terra in a wand fight.
Wait, are we doing a WWE kind of cage match, a WWE hell in a Cell, or a 'fight to the death' cage match?
I don't know if we can accurately assess the situation until this is cleared up.
I've been going for the most obvious answer which is the former of your listed options. If it were the latter, I'd opt for Shadow. If it were hell in a cell, I'd still go for Sabin.
I purposely did not specify what the rules are or how the fight is supposed to be interpreted. Half of the fun of these threads is reading how people assess the fight. Some view it like a WWE cage match. Others view it as a true Final Fantasy fight with turn based combat. Some like to view it as the characters with emotions, behaviors and such while others choose to look at equipment and stats.Quote:

But even without them, she can just cast Ultima twice with Quick and is pretty much guaranteed to kill everyone.
Also what Wolf said.
Do you realize how easy it is to get Sabin to hit max damage with Bum Rush? If we argue mechanics, the only thing that matters is who goes first. Hitting max damage 8 times is basically the same as hitting it once in against a PC.Quote:

That's assuming he hits her first with it, which is an awful big assumption. If memory serves, Blitz selects a target at random, thus if Sabin is going first then there is only a one in four chance that he hits Terra with it. If he doesn't, he's dead. If he does, he might win.
Terra. 'Cause she's, like, the single most powerful FF protagonist like...ever.
No Celes and no Locke? :colbert:
They were eliminated in the first round.
I know and I don't understand why :doublecolbert:Quote:

The reason is strategy. If they wear them she can't. Simple as that.
I'm shocked there wasn't a little bit more Umaro love in this.
I mean, logically... you throw a giant beast in a cage with a bunch of things it doesn't trust? Not gonna end well. Umaro single-handedly wrecks the Cultists' Tower. I think he can handle four feeble humanoids in a cage.
As I said:Quote:

Psh. While my vote still goes for Umaro, Sabin is the only other logical choice in this situation. Coin Toss between them.
As I've pointed out repeatedly, Sabin has far worse magic power, and cannot equip the best weapons of the game (unless you waste a Relic slot with a Merit Award, of course), so regardless of whether Terra goes for magic or physical attacks, she still has a tremendous advantage. Unless he gets tremendously lucky, she can probably finish him off with one turn.
There's no way for Umaro to inflict 'Mute'. I see talking animation but if you don't need much to cast a a spell, a simple 'Stop' will beat Umaro. Or something else.
I will pick Terra not out of bias. If she starts morphed, she's twice as strong as the others at the same level.
I genuinely don't understand how the words "cage match" can be interpreted as "standard FFVI turn based battle in which stats and all that kind of stuff come into play, characters are unable to know who they are going to attack because of game mechanics".
It's not a battle in a video game! It's a cage match!
Thank you, Daniel, for being a superior nerd. The other nerds just don't get it.Quote:

The Man will never understand. Just give up trying to show him.
I understand what a cage match is. It doesn't make a difference. Terra is still the strongest character. She has the power to wipe everyone else out immediately with a single Ultima. None of the others in this match have the power to do that; their Ultimas would just severely damage their opponents, not completely wipe them out.
Cage match is a wrestling match, not a magic match. It involves physical combat, not magic. Terra would sooner teleport herself out of the match than hurt her friends with magic regardless. Sabin, Shadow and Umaro would have no such issues - Sabin would consider it a fun game (he would only knock them unconcious, not kill them), Shadow would have no qualms fighting anyone, and Umaro already throws his opponents around in the game so I don't think he'd have a problem throwing them into the side of a cage, either. Terra would never do anything like that, and wouldn't stand a chance in physical combat against any one of them anyway. They're simply better than she is.
If it were a magic fight, yes, Terra would win (although let's face it, if anyone who thinks that magic and all that were actually allowed would still be able to get past Celes in the earlier round has clearly forgotten something).
Cage. Match.
EDIT: Is this a first pin = win, or an elimination match, Mulley? Is this the last round?
I haven't watched wrestling since I was a wee lad of 5 but I seem to remember the people that won always having someone come in from outside and help them win right as they were about to lose. Which means one of two scenarios play out here:
Either a. Shadow wins when Interceptor surprise fang-rapes Sabin's neck after everyone else has been taken down.
or b. Umaro wins when his manager, Mog, breaks into the cage and starts hitting people with chairs n trout.
I think a is the likelier scenario, so I went with Shadow. Plus, Interceptor and Shadow would have a cool stage name together:
Shadogg
Sha-Dee-Oh-Double-Gee, bitches.
I can actually see those scenarios happening, chionos. xD However, they don't always happen and when they do, it's generally a case of the 'bad guys' doing it, and none of these chaps are bad guys in that sense. Also, it doesn't always work... but it certainly helps spice things up. :D
It's up to you.Quote:

In that case, it's an elimination match. I'd say Cyan and Umaro have been eliminated in this round as they're both at the bottom. But I'm not sure if you meant for me to decide whether or not this is the final round or if you were just suggesting that I imagine how this would all play out in my head. :pQuote:

I can only assume that Sabin suplex'ed the cage with Terra in it to score the final blow.
Sabin cheated. It's the only conclusion I can accept. Sabin the cheating cheater cheated. I don't know how yet, but I will figure it out.
A cage match in the real world can't have magic, because it doesn't exist. There is no reason to assume that a cage match in FFVI's world would disallow characters from using their strengths unless explicitly stated as such. And, as stated, one Ultima from Terra and everyone else in the match is wiped out.
And we can't have those characters fighting in the cage match in the real world, because they do not exist. :colbert:Quote:

You're just hung up on this 'FFVI statistics and gear and magic battle' thing rather than a cage match.
Either way, the correct individual won.

A lot of Sabin's Blitz moves aren't based on physical contact either. Furthermore, if you're going to throw out magic because "it's too much like guns", then you also need to throw out weapons because those wouldn't be allowed in real-world wrestling matches either, and Gau and Umaro are arguably stronger with bare hands than Sabin (especially Gau, who could just use Catscratch to eliminate the competition).
Anyway, Mulley explicitly said the match is up to our own interpretation of how it would be staged, so your interpretation of the rules is no more valid than anyone else's.
This thread stopped making sense.

You're really going to try to convince me that Terra is somehow going to be more physically adept than Sabin? xDQuote:

Gau's not there and wrestling skill wins over raw strength (that's why Mark Henry sucked as a wrestler, the big baby).Quote:

Man, I should really get Del Murder into this thread.
Typically a cage match is no disqualification, therefore Terra would win by getting into Esper form and tossing a few fireballs around. She could also fly out of the cage for the easy win.
In a straight wrestling match, Sabin is the clear winner. Umaro may be stronger but he's also slower. Cage matches are all about speed. Plus Sabin suplexed a train. I think he can handle a yeti.
Shadow has the wild card since he would be accompanied to the ring by Interceptor, but valets can hardly help you in the cage.
I don't even know why Cyan is on the list.
Oh man, I didn't even consider the idea of a cage match where you win by getting through the roof. Yeah, she'd easily win that with barely any effort.Quote:

If we're including weapons, then yes, Terra is more physically adept than Sabin. All she has to do is slash with the Ultima Weapon. The others are dead.
In fact a strong case could be made that the attacks with Offering (or Master's Scroll if that's the translation you're used to), though they're animated as separate slashes for the convenience of the player, occur at the same time. Enemies never counterattack Offering attacks until all of the attacks have been made. This is in direct contrast to other items like Gem Box, where enemies can counterattack individual spells in between the time players cast them. This means that by this logic, if Terra has Offering and Ultima Weapon, she wins immediately.
Of course, if you Game Genie yourself an Offering before you're supposed to get one, you'll find out that the timer runs down in between each attack, but that's pretty clearly not applicable to canon since the only way you can have an Offering for any of the timed sequences in the game without cheating is to perform things out of order and wait to get Sabin until after fixing Figaro Castle and getting the airship in the World of Ruin.
And yeah, what Del pointed about her being able to fly. That's a pretty big disadvantage for the others that I didn't even think of.
I'm pretty sure wrestling matches don't include game genies.
When it's No Disqualification, it means you beat each other up with chairs, tables, ladders, perhaps a sledgehammer (although never in a massive way), bells, barbed wire, baseball bats, cars, bikes, fire extinguishers, stuff you find around the venue.
I'm pretty sure there aren't swords around these venues. :p
I imagine the host of any cage match featuring a flying person would put a lid on the cage, but if they are too stupid to then the fight will be over before it's even a fight, yeah.
A cage match where some participants are arbitrarily disallowed from using some of their natural strengths is a pretty smurfing stupid cage match. It doesn't accurately reflect the participants' innate abilities if some of those abilities are banned.
We're gonna act like Terra wasn't getting whooped by Vargas in a brawl when she had the help of Locke AND Edgar? We all know who had to come through and stop him.
Because Terra's power at the start of the game when she didn't even know she was half-Esper is completely comparable to her power after she comes to terms with her identity.
Oh wait.
That's not even a particularly representative battle because it's programmed to end as soon as Sabin hits Vargas with a blitz, no matter how much damage it does. (Actually, in theory a powered-up party could defeat Vargas before Sabin shows up, but I'm pretty sure it's also programmed to throw them off the screen after they do a preset amount of damage to him - which, let's note, isn't him killing them, or even damaging them; it's just him removing them from the battle). None of this speaks particularly well to either Sabin's ability to damage people who are not Vargas or Vargas' ability to damage the party. All it speaks to is Vargas' ability to push opponents out of the field of combat, which wouldn't contribute anything to a cage match even if he were a participant.
And let's be honest. Sabin isn't the one who fried fifty of the Empire's best soldiers in five minutes.
He did it in two minutes.Quote:

You're right. Sabin can't learn Ultima. He also can't equip Economizer.Quote:

Oh.
He can learn Ultima, but his magic power sucks compared to Terra's. His Ultima is unlikely to wipe out the other characters. Terra's will.
Furthermore, I thought it was pretty much established that this wasn't going to be a turn-based battle. But if we're going to obey the rules of turn-based combat slavishly, Sabin's Blitzes can either: target multiple people, in which case they're unlikely to wipe out all of his opponents, because their magic defence is going to be too high; or target one person, in which case it is chosen randomly. If Sabin takes out Terra, he has a realistic shot of winning the match, but that is only a one-in-four chance.
But none of this changes the fact that if we're actually regarding this in terms of the game's actual storytelling, Terra can just morph into an esper, fly out of range of the other characters, and rain down destruction from above. None of the other party members has a defence against that.
By the way: Sabin's speed is a meagre four points higher than Terra's, which, even if we're going to accept that speed status makes a difference in a cage match, isn't going to enable him to pull off an attack he can complete before Terra can cast Ultima or swing the Ultima Weapon. Meanwhile, Terra's magic power is eleven more than Sabin's. That's a much more substantial difference. The only character with a higher innate magic power in FFVI is Relm, but even then, the player will likely have raised Terra's magic power to beyond that with Esper stat bonuses by the time Relm can be recruited.
A cage match where you win by escaping the cage including someone that can fly is stupid in itself, so don't you go arguing stupidity. A cage match is a wrestling match and a wrestling match involves wrestling, not toasting your opponent in green flames or flying out for a cheap win. Wrestling! Wrestling wrestling wrestling. You know nothing, Aaron Freed.Quote:

If they can't use their innate abilities, Celes would beat Terra in a wrestling match. Them's the breaks! Of course, it's all a moot point because Terra's a pansy and wouldn't want to hurt her friends even in a 'friendly' fight.
But yeah, when you set up a cage match it makes sense that you expect the people to actually wrestle instead of taking cheap shots. Sabin is the better wrestler. You just don't go beyond that. The only people I'd say have a chance of beating Sabin at wrestling would be Gau or Umaro, and it would be a pretty great fight. Shadow after that as he might have some good submission holds in him since he's a ninja and probably can paralyse his opponents with some kinda fancy move or... something. xD
It's stupid that you're insisting this has to be a pure wrestling match when Mulley has repeatedly and explicitly said that the interpretation of what kind of match the characters are fighting is up to the individual voting. Obviously a lot of people did not interpret this as a pure wrestling match and the fact that you are discounting their interpretations purely because of your narrow-minded interpretation of what characters would do if forced to fight one another is absurd. Obviously a lot of people are much more interested in pursuing the question of which character is the strongest overall than which character is the strongest in specific narrow fields of physical combat (and Terra is certainly no slouch in those either since she can equip Offering, Genji Glove, Illumina, and Ultima Weapon and attack her foes physically in her morphed state). Terra won against Celes and Relm because Runic doesn't mean a goddamn thing if Terra attacks her physically, which she is more than capable of doing with some of the most powerful weapons in the game, and she can morph to gain additional power. Celes can't do a thing to block against physical attacks except attempt to heal, and if Terra is coming at her in her morphed state with Ultima Weapon then she won't be conscious to heal herself after Terra has attacked her. And your interpretation of Terra not wanting to hurt her friends is a ridiculous reason to discount her when one considers that, as Wolf Kanno has already pointed out, Cyan and Sabin (and probably the others) would not hurt a woman unless absolutely forced to.
Looks like more individuals agreed with me than with you, so Sabin wins regardless. :DQuote:

If it was a question of "who is the most powerful character" then I'm pretty sure Mulley would have asked who the more powerful character is rather than "who would win in a cage match".

I find it ridiculous to assume a cage doesn't have a top to keep people from flying out of it.
Only if you disregard the fact that one of those individuals voted for Sabin purely because he wished to see a tie, not because he actually thought Sabin was more powerful. Also, nice appeal to popularity fallacy. You are confusing popularity with actual strength. As chionos pointed out in the previous thread:Quote:

I already explained multiple ways Terra could win a physical wrestling match. You have yet to rebut them. You seem to be underestimating just how important equipment is in this game. An attack from Ultima Weapon is nothing to sneeze at, especially since it ignores defences. You also seem to be underestimating just how powerful Terra is when Morphed. It doubles her attack power and reduces the magic damage she takes in half. This makes defeating Sabin child's play, especially since most of his blitzes are counted as magic damage.
Unless the top is at seven feet high, it doesn't really matter whether there's a top or not; Terra can still float to beyond the characters' ability to reach her. Given that most wrestling matches are fought in venues with reasonably high ceilings to enable large audiences to view them, it is unlikely that the ceiling of the venue would be low enough to make a difference.Quote:

You just keep on arguing that a cage match isn't a wrestling match. xD It's kinda funny. I did rebut your comment, but you seem to think swords are commonplace in wrestling matches.
I just keep arguing that this isn't a pure wrestling match because Mulley has now explicitly set out a series of guidelines and background that make it plain that this isn't a pure wrestling match.
He said it was open to interpretation, as you pointed out, and that means it most certainly could have been a pure wrestling match, and it seems most people were thinking along these lines. But you're right, it could have been a non-pure wrestling match. Sort of like if you were to create a thread titled 'Chess Tournament' and ask which FFVI character would win in a chess tournament (but leave what that means to interpretation) you could interpret that the chess tournament would involve killing your opponents with a marble chess board and it's pieces.
Which would be kinda cool.
And Sabin would win that too. Attachment 43299Quote:
