Ormi who doesn't like a fat guy. Logos never opened his eyes though.

Who doesn't like a tall guy with stripes for eyes?

Logos

Logos

Logos

Logos

Logos.

Logos.

Ok, this will be the last update until Sunday (or perhaps Saturday evening, depending on the condition of my head ), as I am going away for a few days. No need to ask someone else to run the rumble for just one battle.

Ormi-2
Logos-10

Surprisingly one-sided there, as Ormi is smashed by Logos. Moving on....

Round 2, Battle 4:

18. Barkeep: The shop and inn keeper on board the Celsius, who defeated Yaibal in round 1, will really be up against it in this round.

vs

4. Shuyin: As he faces Shuyin, who crushed Buddy in Round 1. Shuyin hopes to add another victim to his list and advance to the last 8.

Fight!

Shuyin

Barkeep for his speach

Oh christ, Barkeep all the way please.

Shuyin, he looks wicked, and he wins for being cooler than tidus.

Shuyin

Barkeep

Barkeep

Barkeep

Barkeep

Shuyin Barkeep was annoying

Barkeep. Shuyin was annoying.

Barkeep --- it's the Deshign of Deshtiny!

Shuyin.

Barkeep

Barkeep-9
Shuyin-5

Easy win for Barkeep there, surprisingly enough.

Round 2, Battle 5:

1. Yuna: The main member of YRP, after beating Ayde in the last round, ironically must now overcome.....

vs

16. Brother:.....her own cousin, who is in love with her! Brother defeated Lian in the previous round and i'm sure will be a tough nut to crack.

Fight!

Yuna of course i hate brother lol he is so annoying

Yuna. Brother is just horrible.

Yuna, Brother is a weirdo.

Although I've never liked Yuna, she's better than Brother.

Yuna. Once again, Brother is gay.

Yuna

Brother is most definitey a crank addict, I do not lie.

Yuna

Yuna

Brother.

Yuna was a terrible character imo.

Yuna incest is not cool.

I wish I could vote for Brother, but Yuna was simply too well-written this time to not vote for.

Yuna

Yuna She was an interesting character

Yuna-12
Brother-1

Almost a white-wash, amazing!

Round 2, Battle 6:

2. Rikku: The energetic, air-headed YRP member, is looking for the last 8, after defeating Lulu in a tight battle last round.

vs

23. Dona: Former summoner Dona stands in her way, and after defeating O'aka easily in the last round, she won't roll over by any means.

Fight!

Airheaded? that's mean although true lol, Rikku

Hmm... Rikku.

Dona I like her abrupt personality

Dona

Hmm... Rikku.

I like neither but i`ll go for Rikku.

Rikku, cause I pretty much detest Dona in that game.

Rikku, cause I pretty much detest Dona in that game.

I like neither but i`ll go for Rikku.

Dona who doesn't like a summoner in a thong.

Rikku

Hmm... Rikku.

Rikku-10
Dona-3

Easy win for Rikku there, and she advances to the last 8.

Round 2, Battle:

25. Rin: The Al-Bhed trader, after defeating surprisingly defeating Rin in Round 1, hopes to inflict a similar upset upon....

vs

14. Baralai:..the New Yevon Praetor, who after crushing Kimahri in the first round, will hope to go far in this rumble.

Fight!

Rin

Rin

Rin.

Rin
"thank you for your patronage"

Rin
"thank you for your patronage"

Baralai, because he was probably the best of the game's new characters, whereas Rin was only remotely interesting if he turned out to be the culprit in the Mii'hen mystery.

Baralai becuase best developed nuetral enemy in FF history.

Baralai

Baralai, like Prak said, one of the better characters in Final Fantasy X-2.

Baralai

Baralai

Baralai, but only baraly. :D

Baralai. Come on, his name alone earns him my vote. Also, he's sexier.

Baralai Rin was in x-2? oh yeah he was so barely used I forgot

Baralai-10
Rin-5

Despite early support, Baralai trounced Rin after that early influx of votes, and moves on to the Quarter-finals.

Round 2, Battle 8:

24. Barthello: The guardian and partner of Dona, after taking out Cid in round one, must now dispose of.....

vs

9. Wakka: Another former guardian, and after taking down Lenne in round 1, Wakka will be hoping for a similar result here.

Fight!

Wakka, 'cuz as Prak says --- character development.

Barthello though he's an idiot he still better than Wakka.

Wakka, of course.

Wakka

Wakka, cause of his "calfs lick".

Wakka.

Wakka.

Wakka. i wouldn't be able to count the number of times Barthello said "DONA" as a one-word sentence.

Wakka, 'cuz as Prak says --- character development.

Wakka, 'cuz as Prak says --- character development.

Wakka

Wakka! Gotta love the hairstyle and the color!

Wakka! Gotta love the hairstyle and the color!

Wakka

Wakka, by far. Barthello was just damn irritating

Barthello-1
Wakka-15

A single vote for Barthello. Dear me, Wakka totally steamrollered his fellow ex-guardian there! And that is the end of round 2, we are down to 8! They are:

1. Yuna
2. Rikku
3. Paine
6. Le Blanc
8. Logos
9. Wakka
14. Baralai
18. Barkeep

Quarter-finals, Battle 1:

6. Le Blanc: The syndicate leader, after easily beating Garik and Beclem, faces a rather ironic oppenent here.....

vs

8. Logos: Her own henchman! After beating Ormi and Gippal, Logos will be no means be a walk-over for his boss.

Fight!

Le Blanc, just because I lolled when I realized she wears the fourth Lady Luck outfit.

Logos I never could bring myself to say i liked Leblanc & i won't start now by giving her my vote

Le Blanc.

Logos I never could bring myself to say i liked Leblanc & i won't start now by giving her my vote

Logos.

Hey, quarter-finals time. Another for Le Blanc here.

Logos

Le Blanc.

LeBlanc...

LeBlanc...

Le Blanc Dont let her down now loves

Logos.

LeBlanc,
at least she was interesting to look at :3

Leblanc because erection =/

Logos I never could bring myself to say i liked Leblanc.

Le Blanc, just because I lolled when I realized she wears the fourth Lady Luck outfit.

Ditto, I originally wondered what the hell that heart on her chest was for. Was she supposed to be a playable character?

Le Blanc-10
Logos-6

Despite a valiant effort, Logos comes up short and falls on his sword. Le Blanc advances to that last 4.

Quarter-finals, Battle 2:

3. Paine: The black sheep of the YRP trio, and after taking down Shinra and Lucil, Paine is a firm favourite against.....

vs

18. Barkeep: The Celsius bartender, who has done really well to get this far, beating Shuyin and Yaibal on his way to the quarter-finals.

Fight!

Paine

Barkeep.

This one's for Barkeep.

I gotta sayPaine as much as it kills me to

Barkeep provided entertainment through the game

Pain provided so little, I can't remember (she was boring)

My vote goes too the underdog Barkeep

Barkeep

Paine, cause sarcasm.

Paine

Paine

Paine

Barkeep

Barkeep

Paine all the way

Paine

Paine-8
Barkeep-6

A tight battle, but in the end, Paine squeezes through.

1. Yuna: The lead Gullwing, after taking down Ayde and intrestingly Brother, she now faces another ironic battle.....

vs

2. Rikku:.......another cousin! This should be a fascinating battle, and after beating Dona and O'aka, Rikku will be keen to defeat her cousin also.

Fight!

Rikku

Rikku anyday over Yuna

Rikku is soo much better than the slightly delusional but widely admired ex summoner.

Yuna

Rikku anyday over Yuna

*off topic*
You know, I'm starting to think Prak likes to be Contrary.

Rikku. I do find her a bit annoying, but not as annoying as Yuna, she runs like a 'tard.

Yuna

Yuna; I have a fondness for women in video games that wield guns.

*off topic*
You know, I'm starting to think Prak likes to be Contrary.

Don't shit up the rumble, tyvm.

Yuna lost a lot of her flavor in X-2. Rikku.

Yuna. Not only did she defeat Sin and Seymour, but she also beat Beclam's score in the Gunner's Gauntlet, won the Luca Sphere Break Tournament, beat everyone in the Youth League Battle Tournament, and defeated all of her comrades and Spira's top three leaders in the Den of Woe.

What did Rikku do? She played the role of the dumb blonde.

WARNING SPOILER ALER...........TO LATE.

Too bad if you are in the process of playing.

Lol, Umm Rikku because Yuna's an idiot for looking for a figment of a faeths imagination.

Rikku.

Rikku!

I will go with Yuna on this one, its a hard decision to make but Yuna does not have a vote on this page yet. So i guess its like the sympathy vote

Yuna

Yuna-6
Rikku-10

The battle of the cousins ends in favour of Rikku. She advances to the the semi-finals!

Quarter-finals, Battle 4:

14. Baralai: The New Yevon praetor has been strong so far, easily defeating Rin and Kimahri.

vs

9. Wakka: Facing the head of New Yevon, is the ex-guardian, and after defeating Barthello and Lenne, Wakka won't be a pushover by any means.

Fight!

Wakka, like Prak said: development.

baralai-he rules(i like his weapon)

I'll maintain my string of Wakka votes.

I'll go with Baralai on this one.

This one goes to Wakka.

Baralai; Wakka is an annoying racial stereotype waiting to happen.

Baralai. Wakka was just so dumb in this one. I'm surprised he even knew where babies came from.

Baralai because he is more dignified than an idiot

Wakka

Wakka

Baralai cos i like lenne lol

Wakka, like Prak said: development.

Screw development, his calfs lick ftw!

Wakka

I am abstaining from voting in this round. As I despise both Baralai and Wakka and refuse to vote for either of them.

Baralai is sooo much cuter than Wakka.

wakka1

Baralai-7
Wakka-8

Wakka scrapes through by a single vote, and advances to the semi-finals!

The 4 remaining are:

2. Rikku
3. Paine
6. Le Blanc
9. Wakka

Semi-final 1:

6. Le Blanc: Not surprising to see her this far, she has easily beaten Logos, Garik and Beclem to get here.

vs

3. Paine: This should be Le Blancs first real test, as the YRP member has been steamrolling the oppostion so far, beating Barkeep, Shinra and Lucil with relative ease.

Fight!

Easily Paine ;(

Easily Paine ;(

I'm going to run with Le Blanc, just on comedic-value... though she'll no doubt be stomped :-).

Paine. I could never (and still can't) understand why LeBlanc was so disrespectful and ungrateful to the summoner who defeated Sin, kicked her ass several times, and ended up helping her.

Paine, no contest.

Paine

I don't like Paine, but I hate Leblanc much more...

Leblanc because erection

I kinda like both characters, but I am gonna go with Paine. Her presence was an interesting counterpoint to the dynamic of Yuna and Rikku.

Paine is absloutely better than the scantilly clad LeBlanc

Paine

I'm going to run with Le Blanc, just on comedic-value... though she'll no doubt be stomped :-).

Oh come on loves, LeBlanc should definatly go through

Le Blanc-4
Paine-9

A crushing defeat for Le Blanc there! Paine is our first finalist, who will join her however?

Semi-final 2:

2. Rikku: The air-headed YRP member, has come through all her previous battles easily enough, even disposing of Yuna comfortably, will she have her way against.....

vs

9. Wakka:....the ex-guardian. Wakka has surprised me to have made it this far, to be honest, but nevertheless he is here on merit and won't go down without a fight!

Fight!

Rikku Because of her childish persona

Wakka, he didn't annoy me as much. -__-

Wakka because he died in that Blitzball accident

Wakka-Calfs lick

Wakka-Calfs lick

Wakka

Wakka, he didn't annoy me as much. -__-

x2

Wakka, he didn't annoy me as much. -__-

and you didn't have to see him as much.

I know it's against the crowd --- but Rikku for the final.

Wakka, he didn't annoy me as much. -__-

By all means... Wakka.

By all means... Wakka.

I know it's against the crowd --- but Rikku for the final.

I am going to go with Rikku, Perhaps this will lead to Wakka saying bye

Rikku-4
Wakka-9

Wakka, rather surprisingly beats Rikku easily and makes the final!

32 entered only 2 remain, and here they are, and how they made the final:

3. Paine vs 9. Wakka

How they reached the final:

Paine:

Round 1: 7-4 vs Lucil
Round 2: 13-8 vs Shinra
Round 3: 8-6 vs Barkeep
Round 4: 9-4 vs Le Blanc

Wakka:

Round 1: 9-3 vs Lenne
Round 2: 15-1 vs Barthello
Round 3: 8-7 vs Baralai
Round 4: 9-4 vs Rikku

Fight!

is this like, who is cooler or is it something else?

Take your questions to pm's please. I like the thread to be as spam-free as possible. I'll answer any questions you have via PM.

my bad.

anyways i pick paine. she is the coolest character in the whole game

Wakka all the way.

Paine over Wakka any day.

Hmm this is a tougie the mean spirited/ sarcastic bitch or the mexican idiot yah?
I'll say Paine the mean spirited/ sarcastic bitch.

I'm gonna go for Paine.

Wow, how the fuck did the two biggest retards get in the finals? Paine is decent considering she went against shit people but Wakka actually beat Rikku, Lenne, and Baralai. Some people are smoking crack.

Paine; just for the simple fact I have an undying hatred for Wakka and his faggotness.

Wow, how the fuck did the two biggest retards get in the finals?

Paine.

Paine is so kicking Wakka's ass

Paine is so kicking Wakka's ass

Wakka-Cos calfs lick ;)

Paine

Wakka-Cos calfs lick ;)

Paine cause Calfs lick

Wakka-Cos calfs lick ;)

Wakka-Cos calfs lick ;)

We have a winner!

Paine-10
Wakka-5

And its the dry, sarcastic member of YRP, not terribly surprising, to be quite honest!

Ok, next I will put a vote to what shall be the next rumble:

Theme tunes
Bosses
Dresspheres
Towns

Vote away!

We already did a full theme tune battle at the start of my original FFX-2 rumble and Final Fantasy X-2 only has a limited number of songs. But there are more people voting now, so maybe that could make a difference. Nevertheless, I'm voting for Towns. (/locations, since I imagine there aren't necessarily enough towns to make a full rumble)

Although why not twist it? How about voting based on which location you thought was most improved (or at least more improved than the other) from the original game?

Good idea ^__^

Well let's see how the votes go, shall we?

I think Dresspheres could be fairly neat!

Bosses

Towns always sound good to me ;)

Also, calfs lick should have won the previous round. You`re all terrble human beings.

my select : Dresspheres
let me make next rumble now after this part result
*battle system
*items
*accessory
*skills
please continue rumble for them next...

:rolleyes:

anyways, towns would probably be alright.

my select : Dresspheres
let me make next rumble now after this part result
*battle system
*items
*accessory
*skills
please continue rumble for them next...

No.

I'm voting for Towns. (/locations, since I imagine there aren't necessarily enough towns to make a full rumble)

Although why not twist it? How about voting based on which location you thought was most improved (or at least more improved than the other) from the original game?

x2

I like the idea of dresspheres

Dresspheres are sweet.

Towns / Improved locations

Ok, I think i'm going to try dresspheres. Towns will follow afterwards. I'll draw up a list, pair them off, and edit in the dressphere's involved, and the 1st match-up by this evening.

Good stuff :)

Ok, here's what we have, 16 dresspheres, drawn up and paired off.

The 16 are:

1. Gunner
2. Songstress
3. Thief
4. Warrior
5. Black Mage
6. White Mage
7. Gun Mage
8. Alchemist
9. Dark Knight
10. Beserker
11. Lady Luck
12. Samurai
13. Mascot
14. Machina Maw
15. Floral Fallal
16. Full Throttle

Ok, let's get on with proceedings ~

Round 1, Battle 1:

8. Alchemist: A pretty neat dressphere, which allows you to 'magically' use potions of every kind.

vs

12. Samurai: A very powerful dressphere, which allows you to use several devastating attacks.

Fight!

Alchemist Because it can come up with some devastating concotions including archangel which is pretty damn powerful.

Alchemist without a doubt. Samurai was cool, but it wasn't all that special.

Samurai --- I made heavy use of its Fireworks and Sparkler abilities. Momentum is also useful and it looks pretty cool.

Alchemist saved my ass from yojimbo, haste+regen=e-z win.

Samurai. I found it more lethal than Alchemist.

Samurai --- I made heavy use of its Fireworks and Sparkler abilities. Momentum is also useful and it looks pretty cool.

Samurai ... Paine,Rikku and Yuna look sweet in it.

Samurai

Samurai

Alchemist is much more useful in the first time through. the only thing useful samurai has is mirror of equity imo.

Samurai-6
Alchemist-4

Tight opening battle there, let's hope we get a few close battles!

2. Songstress: An intresting dressphere, this enables you to cast status effects while you dance, it also ties in with the storyline rather significantly.

vs

5. Black Mage: Spell-casting dressphere, obtained upon completing the mission in Zanarkand in Chapter 1.

Fight!

Songstress was actually kind of neat and put out some brutal status effects. Combining that with the novelty factor, it takes my vote easily.

Black Mage.

Songstress --- black magic wasn't especially helpful in this game.

Black mage songstress took mindless training of moronic skills.

Songstress Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

Songstress had some of the best effects in the game especially if coupled with Shmooth Shailing. Besides, the Black Mage could always be substituted with the Megiddo GG or Black Lore.

Easily Songstress. I never used mages once in this game.

Black Mage

Black Mage

Songtress

Songstress-6
Black Mage-4

Low number of votes. ;( Nonetheless Songstress squeezes through a tight battle.

Round 1, Battle 3:

1. Gunner: Yuna's default dressphere, and a pretty neat one at that. Several devastating abilities can be obtained, espically if you use the Cat-Nip accessory.

vs

11. Lady Luck: Obtained by beating Shinra in the Sphere Break tournament, this is quite an intresting dressphere, that like Gunner, has several potentailly devastating techniques.

Gunner

Lady Luck By a long way. Dice is a very useful attack. Along with the reels once you get the hang of them. Plus they are pretty cool outfits to.

Lady Luck, simply because it's more fun to use.

I'm going with Gunner on this one...

Lady Luck, simply because it's more fun to use.

Lady Luck

Lady Luck

CONGRATS!!!

Lady Luck

Gunner

Well, Lady Luck of course. Not only because of CONGRATS, which is super, but it's also a gil/EXP making machine and has some other useful bonuses as well. (P.S. --- This is probably my choice to win the whole shebang.)

Gunner cos i havent used Lady Luck much yet !!!

Gunner-4
Lady Luck-6

Another tight battle there, Lady Luck just shades it.

Round 1, Battle 4:

9. Dark Knight: Probally my personal favourite, obtained in Bevelle, this is a very powerful dressphere, which also boasts high defence, HP and Strength. Pretty much essential.

vs

15. Floral Fallall: Yuna's special dressphere, obtained at Mushroom Road, natrually, it possess several devastating attacks, and combined with an intresting 'transformation' for Yuna(she basically becomes a giant flower), it makes for serious trouble for your foes.

Fight!

Dark Knight

All the special dresspheres were pretty crappy aside from looking neat.

Floral Fallalll
Easy to master and ultimate strength who needs aeons?

Dark Knight

Dark Knight

Dark Knight.

Floral Fallal.
B.e.a.utiful.
