Kraken

Hades

Hades

Hades was more of a challenge, and he's simply a pretty cool optional boss!

Hades.

Hades.

Hades

Hades

Hades definately

Hades

Hades

Hades

Hades

Hades for the different battle music.

Easy victory for Hades.

Kraken - 2

Hades - 19

Ark - Bottom of Oeilvert, big airship. Photon, Boomerang, Propeller Wind and Whirlwind. You know the drill by now.

Kuja - Unwinnable battle in Terra and the end of Disc 3. Good stuff to steal. Thundaga, Demi, mostly. Will use Ultima to show the party who's boss.

Ark. Kuja battle in Terra just isn't that exciting, even with Ultima at the end.

Ark

Kuja

After all the pompous, condescending speeches toward your party, and him being the loveable villain he is, it felt rather pleasing to finally battle against him, and avenge those black mages! Not that that was of any importance to me or anything...

The confrontation at Pandemonium did not disappoint.

If it was Trance Kuja, than yes, however it's the piss easy wimp version of him and his battle a pandemonium was a huge disapointment, so Ark.

Ark

Ark

Kuja. I've already expressed my feelings towards Ark.

Ark

Too bad you never get too fly on it though.

Ark

Ark

Kuja, I didnt like Ark, and Kuja's theme is one of my favorite tunes in the game and I used to draw out the battles with him just to hear it!!

I dont recall any battles that had Kuja's Theme in it...

Ark

I dont recall any battles that had Kuja's Theme in it...

Ark

Then you probably don't recall the final battle against him in his Trance form. Which had a mix of his theme playing (The Dark Messenger).

Ark, I suppose.

I think Dark Messanger is a mix off of Immoral Theme/Immoral Melody...

An easy victory for Ark.

Ark - 10

Kuja - 3

Tiamat - Wind Guardian, Snort is a bitch, but otherwise he's a puppy.

Baku - Weak physical attacks, occasionally misses. Fun to battle.

Descriptions are way shorter because I've already done them not long ago, you understand.

Baku, again. I'll probably get criticised for this, but I don't care.

WTF, you vote for a stupid fat ass over an awesome Black Dragon? You stu*** id*** full of sense!

LOL

Yeah, Baku is just more fun and has just more personality in his design and overall presentation that he deserves my vote too.

so...

Baku!

Another vote for Baku

I didn't think I would ever vote for Baku but I just thought about it a while and decided on him. I like that that dragon mask he has on in the beginning also.

Baku because stupid fat ass characters are cool!

Baku because stupid fat ass characters are cool!

I agree with you. Baku may be fat and clumsy, but he is cool and awesome.

Uhhhhh, I'll say.....Tiamat. Sorry about this, but I nevver really liked Baku.

TIAMAT

I'll go for Baku too because Tiamat didn't interest me much.

Unless you're dumb enough to use float in this battle, Tiamet presents no challenge. Baku

I'll go for Baku too because Tiamat didn't interest me much.

Baku for nostalgia.

Baku forever.

another for Baku.

Baku

Baku

Baku, again. I'll probably get criticised for this, but I don't care.

Baku

Comical, abusive captain > a variant of a summon we have seen countless times before.

never played nine. might do. as soon as i finish 5,6,7,8,10,11, and maybe 12! lol. i have such a mancrush on zidane. he looked cute when he was in doujins ^_^

Yeah, make an actual vote next time please.

What an easy voctory for Baku. Gonna have to make better pairings, I see.

Tiamat - 1

Baku - 15

Nearing the final round, guys. Here's the line-up:

Gizamaluke vs Ark
Beatrix vs Trance Kuja
Black Waltz #3 vs Baku
Quale vs Hades

So:

Gizamaluke- His own Grotto, giant sea monster, Water, Silence counter-attack and a physical attack.

Ark - The giant airship again.

Ark

Gizamaluke

Ark

Gizamaluke

Ark

Ark

Gizamaluke

This one was a hard decision

Ark

Ark, as I voted for it earlier and im sticking to my guns.

Gizamaluke

Gizamaluke

Ark

Gizamaluke

Ever since Ozma got defeated in this rumble.. I'm hoping the Ark lasts to the finals. :D

Ark!

Gizamaluke Was much better imo. Plus he was a right pain in the ass to kill.

Ark... Say no more...

Gizamaluke

Ark

Gizamaluke

Close one, eh, but Gizamaluke ultimately loses.

Gizamaluke - 9

Ark - 10


Beatrix - Please, like you even need a description anymore.

Trance Kuja - Ditto.

Beatrix

Beatrix

Beatrix, Unlucky draw for Trance Kuja though.

Beatrix

Beatrix

More difficult than Trance Kuja most of the times you fight her. That swings it for me.

Trance Kuja

Hmm... Beatrix.

Beatrix.

Not that this vote is even needed as its going to be a landslide as it is. But Beatrix of course.

Beatrix...this is going to be a predictable outcome

Trance Kuja

For this battle:
Final Boss > really awesome character that is probably going to win the rumble anyway.

Trance Kuja, because he gave me a harder time that Beatrix, and the satisfaction for kicking his ass was incredible!

Wow, that's a good one I wouldn't even vote but since we all can see who's going to win I'll give Trance Kuja another vote so he doesn't fall so badly out of the competition!

Beatrix

Beatrix~

Beatrix.

Trance Kuja

Trance Kuja

Trance Kuja

Beatrix

If I was a betting man, I'd say Beatrix has this in the bag. Not Even Trance Kuja with his awesome battle music could prevail. Maybe Baku...?

Beatrix - 13

Trance Kuja - 7


Black Waltz #3 - Heh got blown up while reenacting something out of Top Gun.

Baku - What a great guy.

Black Waltz #3, he'll loose anyway

Black Waltz #3

Black Waltz #3

Actually another reason why he was blown up because he spend too much time casting that thunder spell causing his airship to be set ablaze.

Then you would see the classic 'Oh shit!' look.

Hrm... Black Waltz #3.

Baku

True, this is a character-driven vote on my behalf; however, the battle against Baku itself has its distinguishable charm, and personally speaking, that surpasses any emotional ties to Vivi's story the other battle may have had.

Black Waltz #3

Black Waltz #3

Black Waltz #3.

Black Waltz 3

Black Waltz #3

While I truely enjoy the story with the black waltz and the fmv's being one of the best in the game I still love Baku.

Black Waltz #3

Baku is cool and all but not that cool.

Black waltz #3

BW#3

Black Waltz #3

Black Waltz #3. Sure, Baku was fun as a villain, but he's one of those good guys that I'd actually don't wanna see in a villain rumble final. :D

Black Waltz #3.

My support for Baku unfortunately ends here. BW3 had a significance to the story, unlike Baku's previous two opponents, and actually presented a challenge, even if the challenge was only in stealing all his God damned items.

haha Roki, I do hope you don't follow your instincts everytime.

Black Waltz #3 - 15

Baku - 2


Quale - Let's see how the fat man fares.

Hades - Big scary skeleton.

Quale

I'll go with the fat guy with the huge tongue just for the hell of it.

Haha, I guess I'm not good at predicting things!

Hades

Quale

Quale! Funniness factor, and Hades was too easy for someone that's supposed to be a big, tough, optional boss.

Quale

Hades, since the reward for beating him was much more cool.

Quale

Hades. Both these characters are insignificant in terms of conventional storyline/combat. Its just their side quests the make them necessary. Quales' Blue Magic is more useful over doing that Cinna's Hammer thing with Hades but Hades just looks cooler.

Quale

I'll go with the fat guy with the huge tongue just for the hell of it.

Quale

They were both really easy but I don't like having any sorts of time limits in battle or anywhere else for that matter. So Hades is not my choice this round.

Meh. Hades I guess.

Quale

Quale, for reasons I've expressed earlier.


haha Roki, I do hope you don't follow your instincts everytime.

I was under the guise Baku had that round in the bag, too!

Quale

Quale

Hades. :-\

Quale

Quale

Quale

Quale - 14

Hades - 4

Semi-finals, guys, and I daresay there are no worthy opponents to Beatrix, but I suppose we'll see soon enough.

Quale

vs

Beatrix

Yeah... this one has to be Beatrix.

Beatrix.

Beatrix

Beatrix Sorry Quale but Beatrix is just better.

Beatrix

Beatrix.

Although I loved Quale and his comic relief, Beatrix just has more of a story behind her, and getting to use her to is great fun, so this time my vote goes to Beatrix.

Beatrix

Quale

Just because any it won't matter at this point who I vote for. Beatrix always wins.

Yeah... this one has to be Beatrix.

Beatrix

Beatrix

Beatrix I guess.

Quale

Quale - 2

Beatrix - 12

Right, semi-final round.

Ark

Black Waltz #3

Ark is very easy. Black Waltz #3

Hrm... I'm actually going to go with Ark. More interesting limitations, plus some good stuff to steal.

by surprise my vote goes to Ark

Black Waltz 3

Ark

Ark

Black Waltz #3

Black Waltz #3

I just feel like tying up the score.

Ark is very easy.

Black Waltz #3 wouldn't be a thing either after levelling up to the Oeilvert storypoint.

But more so because Agent's right about there being better stuff to steal and more interesting of a fight although it's summon isn't very useful. Is Ozma in this rumble?

Ark

Black Waltz #3 preferably.

Is Ozma in this rumble?



Got knocked out by Baku.

Got knocked out by Baku. *gasp*!!!

On account of what? His charming good looks? *delves into the past*

Hrm... I'm actually going to go with Ark. More interesting limitations, plus some good stuff to steal.

Ditto.

Black Waltz #3

Ark. :cool:

Close one but Ark got the bike.

Ark - 7

Black Waltz #3 - 6


Final round and am predicting an easy victory so I feel this is like going through the motions.

Beatrix

Ark

Uhg, I can't believe ark won that round....my vote is definately going to Beatrix.

Simply on principle, I'm voting for Ark.

Beatrix ark was easy!

Beatrix

Beatrix

Beatrix

Beatrix

Going to have to add further weight to Beatrix.

Steamroller that is Beatrix.

Steamroller that is Beatrix.

Simply on common sense, I'm voting for Beatrix.

Beatrix

Save the Queen is an awesome sword with the blood still on it and stuff.

A R K

Steamroller that is Beatrix.

lol

Ark because of the craziness of fighting an airship in the basement of an observatory.

Ark.

Going to have to add further weight to Beatrix.

Beatrix is the winner. She should totally be banned from further competitions haha.

Anyway, that's over. Guess a new one is needed, so we should all post our suggestions and agree on a new rumble, eh?

We'll use this thread for that and when a new category is picked, I'll start a new thread.

And to think, after each of those PMs, all of which were intendedly pacts, I had sent to various Shriners who routinely vote in these rumbles (some noobs here and there as well), assuring photographs of a scantily clad, antiquated Beatrix lookalike in a fedora (only in case Ark managed to pull off the upset, of course), this is the thanks outcome I get?!

For shame!

Moving along, it's about that time to choose a theme for the new rumble, and I'm fresh out of ideas; therefore, I'll just remain on the sidelines for the time being, and go with whatever is chosen upon. (An edition of the rumble featuring something along the lines of "Hottest FFIX Characters" would be keen, as I figure it'd have a penchant for bringing in the lulz; however, I'm not naive enough to expect that to fly. Knowing myself, during those circumstances, I'd most likely vote for someone such as Cinny or even Queen Brahne over Beatrix purely out of spite. http://photobucket.com/albums/c172/nfandom/lmao.gif)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to what's in store.

Maybe it's time for more music?

Music, quotes or locations.

Funny quotes would be great. ^^

Music, quotes or locations.

All these sound pretty great to me.

Music, quotes or locations.

Any one of these, especially locations.

Second locations.

Music

Funny quotes would be great. ^^

I second that

I think locations, Thats always an interesting one as there is always good variation of peoples tastes.

Either quotes or locations sounds good. we did music a short while ago so I don't feel like doing it again so soon.

Perhaps a rumble about weapons would do. Either way locations and quotes do sound like a good idea.

Weapons are pretty obselete, everyone would usually vote for the more powerfull weapon, by this means we could easily predict that the winner would be Excalibur II.

Sorry, but you're way off there, TM.

I think he's right. The finals will most likely be filled with Ragnaroks, Ultima Weapons, Atma Weapons, and Zodiak Spears...

I can't see the Dagger passing the preliminaries.


Unless we are talking about Ruby, Emerald, Ultima, Omega, and Saphire weapons...

I was counting on the members to take in account more than mere power when voting for weapons. Hell, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that cares for the looks of the things.

Power isn't all that interesting to me. I generally vote on the style of the weapon and how useful its abilities are. So I'm all for a weapons rumble if that's what you wish to do.

I was counting on the members to take in account more than mere power when voting for weapons. Hell, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that cares for the looks of the things.

I agree, sometimes the weaker weapons are better. For one thing some of them look pretty cool, But also have some of the more usual abilities. So im up for a weapons rumble as well.

Of coure there are other factors to the weapon, but it's gonna be based on power mainly, so I do not advise a weapons rumble.

I don't know. I'd be much more inclined to vote for a weapon that I preferred the look of. Also, weapons are sometimes best judged relative to their usefulness at the earliest point you can attain them. The Ogre, for example, if acquired at Linblum, is probably likely to be more useful than acquiring the Gladius at Conde Petie, because the Ogre deals a greater level of damage propotional to the general power of physical attacks at that stage of the game.

So yeah, I think a weapons rumble would be good.

I prefer an accessories rumble, if that hasn't been done before. Or even better (as suggested before!), a Weapons/Accesories Rumble! :D

I think I'd prefer locations. Quotes have been done before but would be alright to do again and as said before I think it a bit too soon to do music again.

It's looking like locations. I'd be for that. We haven't done that before in this one, have we?

Locations is always good too~ and I don't remember if we've done that before or not. o:

Locations it is, then. Leave your suggestions here, if you would.

Haven't we already done locations?
