I resemble that remark
---

i think some people suck more than others

5 EXP into Shao Kahn's third ability upgrade, completing it

also speaking of which

Scare, you and your crew of flunkies officially suck!

Hey Diablow, when are you going to get around to showing us your Apocalypse/Momentum Mori combo? Never?

Hey Raiden, why don't you get some pussy and go home? Or did they cut off your dick when you became a cyborg and your stupid jaw thing puts a damper on you giving head? Maybe Rose should find herself a REAL man

Hey Raziel, you're ugly

Bass.EXE? More like Bitch.EXE, slink back to the internet in your conceptually silly Megaman series

Other Raiden, you are clearly the inferior and nobody will ever love you

Lucina the Boring, no wonder you always have to steal other more interesting characters to fill out your build although with two LOSERS for parents it's no wonder you suck too

Ryu Hayabusa, you stupid twit, what kind of self-respecting ninja sacrifices stealth to show off his biceps? Probably insecure about being completely obsolete with that cyborg ninja on your team

Dr. Wily, you are old and mortal and going to die soon

Hey Vanille, nice peacetime you've got there. Too bad it's pretty shitty in this format and because of it's Limited Use nature Scare found himself stuck with your worthless ass

Chrom, your daughter and wife are ugly as sin but for a chump like you that's not too bad so congrats

Cadence, I'm going to cut you some slack because we may have an opening for you, giving you an opportunity to jump ship and fight for a real team for once. You just have to be willing to demonstrate your enthusiasm and commitment towards Team Neclord

(^that's all just a use of Shao Kahn's Result ability for clarity)

Sigma's 10 Gwent EXP into his Character Upgrade

Yuffie attempts some Ability Thieving
---

Yuffie fails but it's okay we still love you
---

Oh, gravy forfeited. That's why I saw no Cielo topic.
---

great ability usage
---

Tom defeats Johnbobb 7-7 (Went to tiebreaker)
FFD outsexies Eddv 11-3

Strangely enough the same amount of votes, just a different distribution.
---

DC puts 10 on Sora's LIGHT!

Failure. You needed to go "Boom, Roasted." after each of those.

as for kirby moving with potemkin: kirby's just gonna sit on his shoulder. he could literally just be Kirbcher and snipe from that position.

i need to draw this

Still want to color it, but I like it so far!

Possibly Wang's greatest mercs topic contribution was inspiring this picture
---

This is it. The last event week. There is nothing more than I can offer after this, except the best admining job I possibly can. Let's make these the best event matches of our lives, guys!

Event info: https://pastebin.com/pa02KtJ5

Legendary Dark Knight

Canon Dante. Full regen. All styles and weapons, and nothing except final boss powerups banned. You get seven mercenaries to prove you're better. Is this party getting crazy or what?

---

Knight of the Obsidian Round Table

A power that defies 'common sense'...thousands of souls devoured...he is the monstrous knight of the Obsidian Round Table, First Lieutenant Wilhelm Ehrenburg, better known as Kaziklu Bey. Will your entire combined forces be able to defeat him? Or will his killing stakes devour the soul of the unworthy maggots you call mercenaries?

---

Future Sight V: Aerial Superiority

Want to emerge victorious in battle? Gain the high ground. And what higher ground is there than the skies themselves? You'll have the numbers, but they'll have the aerial edge. Can you defeat three different riders from across time and space?

---

Future Sight VI: Technological Masterminds

They say sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. But is that artificial magic good enough to compete with the real deal? Challenge these science-fiction heroes and find out.

(NOTE: You do not have to face five enemies here, only the four marked as obligatory. If you think the Commander is too busted to face, explain why - this event is somewhat experimental, and we may replace him with The Point Man and perhaps one other ally. Alternatively, you may simply request to face all five tech heroes, which is fine by us as well - just make it explicit.)
---

Future Sight VII: Final Bosses

jRPG final bosses are strong, yo. Certified mercs fact. And they're cool too, that's (usually) a certified videogame fact. Think you can handle a set of bada$$es like this terrible trio? Then step up to the plate.

---

Future Sight VIII: Laser Hype (TM)

I love lasers, you love lasers, who doesn't love lasers? Well, the poor sap who gets nuked by them here, probably. Bring your best boys and see if they're up to the task of overcoming Laser Hype (TM).
---

(If anyone could make a wiki page for the Week 9 events like week 8 had, that'd be sweet BTW. Same for week 10.)
---

It is time



Challenge Dante
---

Yesssssssssssssssssssss

No matter whether you or Gravy picked it, I knew I had to make that one
---

6 EXP on The Strongest, Completing It
5 EXP on Rikku's Items Upgrade
5 EXP on Devil Trigger New Ability
4 EXP on BALLS OF STEEL

Bass uses Get Ability on Kirby's Link Form, replacing his Vishnu Persona
---

5XP on Char's final rank upgrade

5 XP on Char's 2nd iteration of his Character upgrade
---

Ryu3 gets Neclord and Dante's genez.
---

STAR FOX vs GRADIUS.... only one space ship can reign supreme
---

A bunch of monkeys are going to challenge Kaziklu Bey

finally
---

Just to clarify because it came up last time and a call was made in the interim

Clarification: Event bosses may not be under player control unless they explicitly can be ability nuked. This extends to copies of them.

sry gravy - it kinda defeats the point to fight bosses with bosses. It's my hope that this will be entertaining for you nonetheless though.

Can someone give me a quick link to my team page, at work and can't sort through stuff as easily.

Cadence this your chance to win the hand of a true sophisticated gentleman, Neclord

But first you must prove you have the battle mettle to be worthy enough to be his bride. Still don't overdo it, you also must know your place in this relationship.

(i.e. Neclord uses My My, How Rude Of You To Show Up At a Wedding With All Those Weapons on Cadence)

Mega Man pulls from Sonic, Vergil, Richter, Booker, and Kratos

@JeezyMiyagi @ScareChan I will be putting the Neclord vs Cadence topic up in two hours if no one has by then.
---

DC (39 GP) > Tiro (12 GP)
Chris (15 GP) > Mewtwo (12 GP)

Scare (NO BID) < Jeezy (0 GP)
Tom (NO BID) > Johnbobb (NO BID)

DC selects attacker.
Chris selects attacker.

man I always forget those are due early

attacker I guess!
---

that's all good with me and much appreciated

here's a general template without tags if it helps at all (also possibly has some errors)

~WEDDING!~ Neclord vs Cadence

Neclord has challenged Cadence to a fight! Location of the fight: Neclord's Castle - The massive gothic styled castle as seen in Suikoden 1. No monsters are present and access to areas outside the castle is banned. Which side will win?

Guidelines
- The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
- The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle.
- "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion.
- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Rules for Voting
- Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags).
- You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.
- Leaders cannot vote for their own teams, but they are free to argue their case.
- If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.
- This match will end in 2 hours or whenever one side gets 7 votes, whichever is later, to a maximum of 6 hours.

Neclord is as seen in Suikoden II, with all of his attacks shown in Suikoden I and Suikoden II. He retains his extreme resistance to damage from non-holy based magic and weapons from the Moon Rune, as well as any attacks seen in the gameplay granted by the rune. However, he will lose these resistances if struck by the Star Dragon Sword and cannot otherwise use the rune for curses or anything else.

~VS~

Cadence is as she appears in Crypt of the NecroDancer, equipped with a titanium ____, ____, plate mail, magic torch and shovel. Cadence will come to battle wielding the Star Dragon Sword. The Star Dragon Sword retains its sentience and can (and will) freely communicate with anyone in the fight, though it will not otherwise act of its own will. It acts as an ideal teammate but will, however, refuse to be wielded by anyone other than its chosen wielder for the fight.
---

already found one error lol

~WEDDING!~ Neclord vs Cadence

Neclord has challenged Cadence to a fight! Location of the fight: Zone 1 - An underground cave on a single floor consisting of several small rooms connected by narrow passageways. Access to other floors is blocked off and no enemies are present. Which side will win?

Guidelines
