Grown rusty in my absence, I thought I would just make a thread to keep my gear functional. With the new patch "Fall of the Lich King", I decided the battle to be a gauntlet agaist the Lich King.
The setting is Icecrown Citadel and the Lich King will be defending it from individual attackers. How many of the opponents can the Lich King beat before he is defeated, or will he make it all the way through.
Each character is in their strongest frequent appearance, meaning that if they for a brief moment tasted omnipotence, limitless power, divine might or anything like it, they do not have it here, but they are save that their strongest version.
Each attacker receive standard gear and preparation, allowed to attack when they see fit. The Lich King is not allowed to leave the citadel.
So Arthas is allowed to use all the resources of the Citadel? Well, that should make things considerably easier for him, because the Citadel holds some individuals that are quite powerful in their own right. Not mentioning all the lesser undead.

He is allowed the resources within the citadel, yes, but unlike players, the attackers are not bound by particular scenarios and such things. They can sneak past, kick in doors and whatever suits them. Their sole goal is taking Arthas down.
Aha, I see. Then if they're not bound by gameplay rules, I suppose Arthas can send his forces after the invader(s) at his discretion? If that's the case, everyone with exception of Sephiroth and Deathwing will get hopelessly ganged up upon, unless they're all attacking at once.

Sephiroth's EX Mode, there is no version of Seph with an EX in it. EX Bursts are just the names of the characters strongest attacks in Dissidia. The 10th anniversary FF VII Ultimania says it has the power of real Supernova, and Dissidia states it can break through dimensional barriers, so unless Lichy can tank an attack of that magnitude he stops at 3.

Which Link, and what counts as frequent appareance and standard gear? O-o; Just saying Link and laying out those is a bit misleading. The only Links with more than one Appearance are: Classic Link (NES LoZ/LoZ2 (possibly LA), Oracles Link (OoS/OoA/Linked game.), N64 Link (OoT/MM, possibly LA), and WW Link. (WW/PH, possibly LA.. LA most likely belongs to classic Link, however. ...Who, by some fan theories, THEORY WARNING OMG: may be OoT Link. Lulz. highly doubt it though.)
Semantics aside, wasn't it agreed in another thread Deathwing would win, so putting him at the end of the Gauntlet kind of makes it unfinishable if that match was already debated in DW's favour? Or am I thinking of something else..? o:

But you wouldn't know as you rest your head.
The dimensional barrier stuff needs to be a little more specific before you can use it to claim it is any more potent than the attack would be without that effect. Otherwise cutting a dimensional barrier is just an insignificant trophy for the ability and has no additional power against the Lich King.
So what happens next, should Lich King survive this attack? When Sephiroth has given his strongest move against Lich King, what is left? Will he hope another Supernova will does the trick or would the failure mean he is done?
By frequent, I mean each separate Link in his most standard form. The way Link is through the majority of the game and not with items he attain near the end or only has for a few moments in the start.
Like Dar'Khan from Warcraft. His most frequent form is before he tap the Sunwell but after Arthas attack against Quel'Thalas. The powers displayed while tapping it, or his powers before the book are not accurate to his original power, his most frequent form, which is the form we meet most often in the trilogy.
Deathwing is powerful but this scenario is different. The previous scenario was the two meeting on an open field. This current scenario forces Deathwing inside the citadel to face Arthas.

The dimensional barrier thing isn't the only thing proving it's potency though, the FFVII 10th anniversary Ultimania says it's as powerful as a supernova, an exploding star. Besides which, Supernova isn't the only trick Seph has up his sleeve, his negative lifestream is also a potent weapon, made up of pure spirit energy.
Getting back to the original question, has Lichy ever taken an attack on that scale?
The Lich King is master over the spirit realm I should add, now that you add the whole spirit energy deal. It would be interesting to see him try use a spiritual attack against the Lich King, but the Lich King eat spiritual energy for breakfast.
No Supernova has ever taken place in the Warcraft universe.
If the LK can enter the spirit realm he would be seperate from the physical plane on which this Supernova takes place. Considering Sephiroth has never survived a super nova himself, he would be disintegrated along with most of those unable to defend themselves from such an explosion of energy which I assume would leave LK the sole victor....
Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's the point of an attack which is as powerful as a supernova, but apparently does that damage in a separate dimension while doing comparatively very little in your own?
