Tourney: Bonus Round!!

Started by xmarksthespot8 pages

Kirbilactus cannot die! He eats death... like marshmallows... it only makes him more puffy, more pink and more powerful.

The head you have is nothing more than a shell - though immeasurable power is still within it to be harnessed - simply because it was once inhabited by Kirbilactus. Kirbilactus lives. And will continue to devour until there is no more to devour.

Thats my boy always eating I wonder when he will soon realize he has an eating disorder and will get help.

Somebody mentioned cluster-bombing an ongoing fight and it got me thinking...

If nothing else, with 7 people in this fight, one can conjure a rather insane image of all these amalgams running around in an epic battle, even if it's in a large space. I, for one, am amused.

And yeah, the team-up tactic seems to have worked. Props to Dizzle for sacrificing his chances to improve another's chances....we'll see if it ends up working or not.

P.S. More strategies! Some have barely shown themselves so far in the fight. I remember having to type out counters to 4-5 people twice a day in my bonus round (last tourney)...and not even being the top poster (Sentry and SF took those honors...and SF nearly won).

The winner of the 7-person melee last tournament was going to the semi's, so thus, more contested. Well, that's what I think anyway...

It was quiet, too quiet...

JPLATINUM, I'M CALLIN' YOU OUT!

After shoting down Mauler, GODLIKE is chasing down Lil' Kirbilactus. He's the next fastest guy in the match and I'm going to cut him out from the herd and run him down. I'm pickin up an unbrakeable main-gauche to go with Vanth's sword and showing Lil K what swordplay's all about.

Anyone tries to take advantage and jack me, don't even think about it. I'll only break off and focus on you instead!

I like this way, personally. The trading thing would make a win from this round a bit cheap. It's still fun though, and still gives an actual incentive. Also, if you got knocked out in the first round, is it really likely that you survive the semis and finals without improving your charcter at all?

Perhaps I'm being selfish? Dizzle would you care to wet your blades on Lil'Kirbilcactus? I wouldn't want to deprive you of the opportunity to show what Rainbow Brite is made of against another master swordsman?

Meh, if I have to... He IS the only one I can definitly beat... Sure, I'll have a go.

For the record, 2nd fastest isn't necessarily true. Several of Kenshin's physical betters (including a dude who copied the Hiten Mitsurugi style from him) were mowed down with a primitive gattling gun. He's agile, but as far as ground speed goes, he's nothing special. 10 bucks says, should he arrive, JP says "but he stood on Sanosuke's sword!" Which he did... He dodged a vertical slash, then grabbed onto the blade as Sano tried to reverse it into a diagonal slash. Agility, dexterity. Drizzt and Nightcrawler each beat the crap out of him for both.

As far as sword skills, Kenshin's a beast. But he's no Drizzt. Drizzt, being the elf who fights multiple century-old, battle hardened warriors simulataneously and wins. Then there's Nightcrawler, who also trained in swordsmanship with 6 or 7 opponents. He's also got 3 swords to Kenshin's one. If he decides to keep his morals, and the steel reverse blade sword, a good chop from my above-peak human strength (yes, Nightcrawler is above peak human strength) will likely snap it in half.

As to a strategy... Grab two extra swords. Port behind him, throw a sword with my foot. (I got NC's body, btw) Port above him, repeat. Port behind him again, and hack at him. Between two swords flying at him from different angles, my masterful swordsmanship/optic blasts, and my natural agility and dexterity, he's gon' die. Or I could nix that and keep randomly teleporting in circles around him and blasting. Liu Kang isn't exactly the most durable of kids, one hit should be plenty.

FEAR RAINBOW BRIGHT!!!

FEAR!!!

Wow, Legwarmers of Speed!

Hey, Legwarmers are IT in rainbowland this year... And that's speed AND bunnies. Legwarmers of speed and bunnies. ...Don't ask.

Let's get some more action!

Since Rainbow seems to have Lil'K. in his sights, I will turn my attention to the not currently engaged Shadow Warrior 2099. What've you got KVD?

Against another opponent. In a different environment. With different tactics. Probably.

Heck, that's true of most of us, really. Noone in the entire tourney had even heard of my biggest asset. That's a tough row to hoe.

So anyway, I'm slowing down enough to move quietly. Thanks to my prescience I can find you with relative ease, while your Spider Sense 2099 is oblivious to my approach. Taking a bead on you with my Radium Laser...

ZAP! Easy headshot since my approach was undetected. Again, a single shot may not be enough to finish Darkhawk's robot-body. GODLIKE quickly close on the reeling Shadow Warrior 2099 and dispatch him with two uber-strong slashes from Dreadstar's sword. I then dash into the forest with a quickness leaving the four pieces that used to be Shadow Warrior 2099 where they fell.

Hulk-Killer Humanoid will have quite the macabre collection of lawn ornaments by the time I'm done!

Yeah, all characters who fit inside the tourney limits were allowed. GODLIKE only has one comic character...

And woohoo! It's 1-nil-nil-nil-nil-nil-nil, in favor of Rainbow Bright. FEAR THE COLORS!!!

Hey KVD...um, you're in this match. For how much you've posted, none of it ahs been strategy...just found it a bit curious.

Though I see your point...last tourney we could come back and win the thing...I didn't want that happening this time, but also wanted to have some fun, but it probably made less incentive for everyone. Holy run-on sentence Batman! Anyway, point taken, but a chance for 3rd should still be coveted, or at least I would if I were still in it.
