Square Enix Boss Tournament: Grahf Wins!

[Mercen-X]

Battlefield -20,000

Name:
The Game Room

Game:
Star Ocean: Til the End of Time (PS2)

Location:
Earth

Description:
The game room found in a luxury hotel. This virtual battle simulator requires real abilities and can simulate any battlefield.

Stage Specifics:
Unfortunately, the game room is not perfected and it can only simulate the shape of any known battlefield. The field, though familiar, will appear in line form, making it difficult to distinguish obstacles from the rest of the room.

Pros:
Provides excellent defense and diversion for wise fighters

Cons:
A source of confusion and frustration for undisciplined fighters

Now that we have our seeding done, we're ready to begin. Arigatou akuma-chan!

Current Available Battlefields:
The Plains of Time Compression
Viper's Aerie
God's Private Studio
The Game Room

More battlefields may be registered at any time in the tournament. Small battlefields produce a 1,000 gil rent whenever they are used, large battlefields produce a 2,000 gil rent. Battlefields are randomly chosen.

All entrants gain 5,000 gil in addition to whatever money they have from prior tournaments. Gold and gil are interchangeable and can carry over without any penalty whatsoever. All players may make one small battlefield free of charge and register it for the tournament. Small battlefields beyond that are 10,000 gil, and large battlefields are 20,000, although the free battlefield may be used to lessen the price of a large battlefield to 10,000 for that one creation only.

Please post the total gil you have when you first begin betting for my convenience. If you choose not to do so, you will have 5,000 until you tell me how much you do have.

The next battle will be between Gilgamesh and Ultima Weapon. It will take place in the Game Room. Betting will close at 12:00 AM tomorrow.

[Necronopticous]

3,076,882

200,000 on Ultima Weapon.

[raskerino]

3,076,882

200,000 on Ultima Weapon.

Somehow I knew he was going to bet that way...

27,000

2,000 on Ultima Weapon. This could easily be a bad vote as I got lazy and stopped playing FF5, gotta go back someday.

[Ultima Shadow]

5,000

3,500 on Ultima Weapon.

[abrojtm]

Gilgamesh could easily just go kamikaze and there be no winner-that would be fun.
1000 on my man Gil.

The virtual stadium came to life as the two combatants stepped into it. Visual transmissions displayed the upcoming battle all over the world, and heroes everywhere watched with broad grins as their worst enemies prepared to do battle upon each other.

One was a massive, four-legged beast of black and purple. It was almost centaur in appearance, for in addition to its four legs it had a humanoid torso with two muscular arms, one of which clutched a massive glowing blue and white sword. It's face was demonic and black wings protruded from its back. At the front of its bottom half was an evil looking head with rows upon rows of sharp teeth and beady white eyes. It was drooling, and it licked its lips as it caught sight of its opponent.

The other combatant was a humanoid who stood at around six feet. He had eight arms, each of which clutched some sort of a bladed weapon. He wore a steel helmet, breastplate, and loinguard, and was obviously ready for battle.

A voice echoed through the area over a loudspeaker.

"The first battle is between Ultima Weapon and Gilgamesh! BEGIN!"

The virtual world sprung to life, large box-like barriers forming all over it, creating a maze.

Ultima Weapon roared and began cleaving its way through the boxes with it's sword, each box vanishing in a burst of pixels.

Gilgamesh leapt onto a box and jumped at Ultima Weapon, the glaive in one of his left hands extended.

Ultima Weapon laughed gutterally and brought its blade to bear, slashing at Gilgamesh's extended polearm.

The weapons came together with a loud clash, but the sheer size and strength of Ultima Weapon proved the victor. With a triumphant roar it hurled Gilgamesh to the ground as it completed the stroke.

Gilgamesh landed lightly on his feet, twirling his glaive back into attack position and bringing his sword forward.

Ultima Weapon laughed racously and stomped its foot on the ground.

The ground began to shake rapidly, and many of the virtual textures vanished at the disruption. Large fractures appeared in the ground, spitting electricity as the energy cables were disrupted.

Gilgamesh jumped as the ground opened beneath him and the virtual background dissipated, leaving the room dark.

Ultima Weapon howled and a pillar of light burst from the sky, slamming into Gilgamesh and blasting him into the ground. Gilgamesh screamed in pain as the electrified cables touched his body and began electrocuting him. Eventually, he went totally limp as his conciousness left his body.

1st Battle: Ultima Weapon vs. Gilgamesh

Victor: Ultima Weapon

Current Accounts:
Necronopticous: 3,276,882
raskerino: 29,000
Ultima Shadow: 8,500
abrojtm: 6,000

Remember, any money from other tournaments carries over and stacks with the 5,000 rollover, plus the 1,000 bonus for every character you possess for any of my Grand Tournaments.

Mercen-X will also get 2,000 rent for that battle, but I'm too lazy to calculate his current funds so he can get it if he posts his total when he bets.

The next battle will be between Sephiroth and Omega Weapon. It will take place in the Viper's Aerie. Betting will close at 12:00 AM tomorrow.

[raskerino]

hmmmm... I don't know if this is a good bet as Omega's pretty beastly especially with light pillar, but Sephiroth is so powerful (even though he was really easy), moves like Supernova and his others and his power to just levitate seems so powerful in this. 1000 on Sephiroth, I'd bet more but Omega's strong too and his predictable pattern probably won't hurt him til later rounds if you're including it. In caser you didn't read my ramble:

29,000

1000 on Sephiroth

[Takara]

35,000 + 1,000 (1 character in Grand Tournament II) + 5,000

41,000 gil

1,000 gil on Omega Weapon

[Necronopticous]

Bosses will be able to use their signature moves but they will be made to fit the setting. Sephiroth will not be blowing up planets, for example.

3,276,882

200,000 on Omega Weapon.

[Pheesh]

jeez void, you're no fun. Even i could have wrote this match if he was blowing up planets.

Peace out and :rock:

The windswept Viper's Aerie suddenly shuddered under the weight of a massive beast that dropped onto it. It resembled Ultima Weapon, but it did not hold a sword and it was instead silver and blue.

As Omega Weapon roared a challenge, a tall, slim man in a black leather coat and pants with silver shoulder plates emerged. In his hand he held a massive sword, as long as he was tall, and his silvery gray hair fell almost to the ground.

"The next battle is between Omega Weapon and Sephiroth! BEGIN!"

Omega Weapon roared and called forth a burst of dark magic.

Sephiroth jumped to the side, avoiding the attack, and leveled his blade with Omega Weapon's second head. Running forward, he leaped into the air and hurled a burst of magic into the ground with the flashing materia on his armband.

The floating platform shook and large cracks appeared in it as Sephiroth's quake magic took effect.

Omega Weapon roared and called forth a pillar of light, hurling it at Sephiroth.

Sephiroth twisted in the air, narrowly avoiding the attack. As he spun in the air, a black, feathery wing emerged from his back and he flew towards Omega Weapon, slashing at it with his blade.

Omega Weapon snapped its claw into place and locked it with Sephiroth's blade.

Sephiroth moved back, his wing somehow holding him aloft. Hovering in the air, he hurled another burst of magic at the ground.

The battlefield shattered completely as the quake magic took hold. Omega Weapon flapped its wings, but it had a much harder time keeping itself aloft than Sephiroth did.

Flying around Omega Weapon, Sephiroth gathered magical energy around himself.

"Sin Harvest!" he yelled, a burst of energy flying from his hands and enveloping Omega Weapon.

Omega Weapon howled in pain and hissed a spell, a massive ball of dark energy hurling itself towards Sephiroth.

Sephiroth dodged to the side and flew straight at Omega Weapon, unleashing a flurry of slashing blows that carved large, red wounds across its chest.

Omega Weapon shrieked in pain and unleashed a blast of powerful magic from where it stood.

Sephiroth grunted as the spell hit him and knocked him back. Flying at Omega, he dodged Omega's sweeping claw and stabbed his blade into Omega Weapon's side.

Omega howled in pain as the blade sunk into its side. Sephiroth smiled grimly and unleashed a pillar of flame that completely surrounded him, burning Omega Weapon in the process.

As Omega Weapon was still reeling, Sephiroth closed his eyes and unleashed eight balls of dark energy from his back. The balls encircled Omega Weapon before smashing into it. As that attack completed, Sephiroth slashed upward with his sword, widening the gash in Omega Weapon's flank.

Omega Weapon howled in pain and its wings ceased beating as its massive body fell to the ground far below.

2nd Battle: Sephiroth vs. Omega Weapon

Victor: Sephiroth

Current Accounts:
Necronopticous: 3,076,882
raskerino: 30,000
Ultima Shadow: 8,500
abrojtm: 6,000
Takara: 40,000

Mercen-X will also get 1,000 rent for that battle, but I'm too lazy to calculate his current funds so he can get it if he posts his total when he bets.

The next battle will be between Atma Weapon and Emerald Weapon. It will take place in the Plains of Time Compression. Betting will close at 12:00 AM tomorrow.

Remember, battlefields may be submitted at any time.

[Ultima Shadow]

8,500

2,000 at Atma.
