Right this battle is over, The votes have been cast.

Alexander - 10

Diablos - 21

Quezacotl - 14

So Diablos and Quezacotl it is.

So this round we lose, Alexander, Brothers and Carbuncle

Right in this next round I wanna try something completly different. Its a bit of a three way battle if you will. Lets see if it works, Just to try shaking up the rumble a bit.

Im going to randomly pair up the Gfs. Then when I have three teams of two they will all go against each other and I would like you to pick your 2 favorite teams.

These two teams will then go in to a tag match against each other, with the winning team then going head to head to determine a winner. Just go with me and see if it pans out.

So the first team we have is,

Diablos + Siren

They are against

Doomtrain + Cerberus

The third team is

Bahamut + Quezacotl

Two balanced teams one team which is pretty much assured a win going by previous votes but we shall see.

The two teams I chose to vote for this time are,

Bahamut + Quezacotl

And

Siren + Diablos

Mainly for the fact that Siren is my favorite remaining GF, And the Bahamut team as the abilities these two allow you to learn/Have are better then the Cerberus team.

Right when voting I want everyone to give their reasons this time round. Please dont quote other people write out your own.

I'm not sure how much I like the pairing idea, because it forces me to weigh GFs I like against ones that I think are crap, and whether or not the pairing is strong enough.

Doomtrain + Cerberus

and

Bahamut and Quezacotl

I will vote for Bahamut + Quezacotl and Diablos + Siren because I look more to damage than status ailments and things that'll help me cast magic. Besides, Enc-None is extremely useful when you don't feel like battling.

Gosh, every group appeals to me the same right now. I love Quezacotl most, but I know he'd probably lose against Bahamut. Siren and Diablos are both medium and Cerberus is a good dog. Very helpful as a summon too.

I guess I'll gave to go for Quezacotl and Bahamut aaand ... ummm ... eeeemmm... Siren + Diablos have better animations, Cerberus and Doomtrain have better abilities... meh! Cerberus and Doomtrain.

right sorry for the late update. Went away early for my birthday. Lets see what the results are shall we?

Diablos + Siren - 10

Doomtrain + Cerberus - 7

Bahamut + Quezacotl - 15

Right so Doomtrain is de-railed while Cerberus's three heads decide to bicker amoungst themselves removing them from the competition.

Now we see

Siren + Diablos

Up against

Bahamut + Quezacotl

So far Bahamut has had the landslide of votes. Will he keep it up or will Siren + Diablos manage to make it through to the final.

Siren + Diablos are gonna get my vote because they are the better GF's in my opinion, Bahamut gets boring and I never use Quezacotl.

Music is too easy. The Extreme would win, no doubt, or am I overconfident?

How about the most annoying character? (Not necessarily playable one.) Or the element in the game that fits least.

Oh, I know!!! The best movie of ff8. The nominees are:
- Quistis kills mechanic spider
- Rinoa sees a ring in her space suit.
- The lunar cry
- Edea smells her hands
- starting movie (or maybe rather not because it is too long and it is unfair)
etc.

I suggest other people here suggest more movies so the 'rumble admin' has enough too choose from (so he/she can make the fight less predictable).

Zak
04-06-2008, 10:42 AM

I don't know why but it's funny you should say that, for some reason I imagined that I'd be the only one wanting that to happen, right now at least. I figured the Machine Gun or Eyes on Me or Ami or Premonition or LF would all be fair competition to it (among the community I mean, among myself The Extreme would kill them all of course).

But anyway assuming music does go through I'm looking forward to seeing other shriners' taste in Uematsu stuff. If it were up to me, the final would be "Residents" VS "The Extreme" (I'm actually serious) and I doubt I'd find anyone else thinking that but you never know. I wish I didn't miss the previous music rumbles, because FFVIII is my favorite soundtrack.

Agent0042
04-06-2008, 04:58 PM
Actually, the piece that sprang immediately to my mind, and the one I'm pretty sure won before, was "The Landing." Here, hang on, I'll see if I can go find the info... Yeah, that's right, "The Landing" won (Thread 8360).


Oh, as for the idea of an FMV rumble, that's easy enough. There are FMV pics with titles over at the main FFShrine site. I think "The Landing" won that one also the last time this was done.

Pos

Right I have 24 basic monsters and 16 of the more powerful monsters.

The 24 Basics are as follows

Funguar
Bite Bug
Caterchipillar
Blobra
Fastitocalon - F
Mesmerize
Cockatrice
Thrustaevis
Turtapods
Grats
Belhelmel
Fastitocalon
Gayla
Gesper
Slapper
Red Bats
Buels
Geezard
Glacial eye
Creeps
Elastiod
Galbadia Soldier
Esthar Soldier
Imps

The 16 Big ones are

Marlboro
Hexadragon
Ruby Dragon
Elynoyle
chimera
Cactuar
Tri Face
Vysage
Propagator
Torama
Iron Giants
Tonberry
T-Rexuar
Ochu
Behemoths
Death claw
Blue Dargon
Bombs

I will do two battles at a time. ONe big and one small. Place one vote in each battle. Right the first two small guys to duke it out are...

Belhelmel - What looks like an Indian with a giant Buzzsaw on his back, He can slice you, Has the ability to use Thunder, Ice and fire Magic. Becomes more aggressive when he turns angry, When Angry he also counters attacks with his counter slice.

vs

Slapper - I wonder how many people actually know what these are without reading the description. These are the Ice hockey dudes who attack you in G-Garden when you board it, they attack in different formations and choose to either slap you with their sticks, Or blast Blizzara/Blizzaga at you.

The Big guys

Vysage - This guy needs no introductions as im sure he has caused us all problems at one time or another, He is the Mummy head protruding from the floor, Usually comes with Lefty and Righty, Has some semi powerful attacks, Prefers to attack through status chaging then direct attacks.

vs

Cactuar - Everyones loveable friend the Cactuar, Have classed him as a difficult monster as they are damn near impossible to hit and can cause you quite a bit of grief if they choose to, 1000 Needles. Need I say anymore?

Right so place your votes one for the little guys one for the big Guys.

In the little guys I choose Belhelmel cause he always causes me to chuckle.

The Big guys Cactuar of course.

Right in the small battle the results are

Belhelmel - 5

Slapper - 11


And the Big guys

Cactuar - 10

Vysage - 6

So the first two Winners we have are, Slapper and Cactuar They sail through in to the next round.

Lets see who will be joining them.

In the small Category we have

Buel - This looks like a three winged bat, Except its wings rotate around it instead of flapping, It has basic magical abilities depending on the level, First encountered in Ifrits fire cavern.

vs

Grats Found in the Balamb Garden Training Centre, These plant like creates have long tendrils and the head of a Venus fly catcher, They have the power to put you to sleep and to use vampiric touch.

And the Big guys

Marlboro - Bad Breath enough said.

vs

Behemoth - This big purple monstrosity can be a bit of a pain, Likes to cast barriers on itself along with dealing some powerful physical damage and also using the odd blast of Meteor when it takes its fancy.


Right, The big battle should be interesting indeed.

Buel and Behemoth for me as Marlboros should be erased from existance.

I like both Buel and Grat, but It's more fun to kill a Grat than a Buel, although Buel gets to cast death later, which is quite refreshing.

Hmmm...Malboro, because it shows what kind of breath smokers have. And it takes much more preparation for a Malboro than for a Behemoth and I LOVE to make occasional changes to the party with the junction system.

Meh, this thing actually is pretty hard. But I'm going to take Buel, as it looked a bit more awesome than Grat.

The second battle is even harder because I love both of the opponents a lot, but I think I'll go with Behemoth, because he simply looks a bit more stylish than Marlboro.

Edit: Whoa, I see that the looks actually decided it for me this time. Seriously. =O

Right results are in

Buels - 6

Grats - 11

Big monsters

Behemoth - 12

Marlboro - 5

Right next up we have,

Little Monsters

Geezard - This monsters appears to be half a crocodile and half a snake? Simple monster never has ever put up a fight but provides screws whenever needed.

vs

Mesmerize - This horse like creature has a horn which it happily uses as a weapon until it breaks off, The horn itself contains a lot of medicinal propeties.

Large Monsters

Bomb - These flame monsters can cause a lot of damage, They can be attacked three times, Then after that they slef destruct causing a lot of damage to whoever hit them last.

vs

Iron Giants - These big blue monsters have a giant sword and amazing physical defense, Which they like to boost even more by using Mighty guard. Have a very bad resistance to Demi magic.

My choices for this battle are Mesmerize and Iron Giants

Right it seems obvioous who are two winners are but lets see anyways.

Mesmerize - 13

Geezard - 1

Big guys

Bombs - 1

Iron Giants - 13

So two easy wins there.

Next up we have,

Small Monster

Fastitocalon - F - When you first encounter this monster it appears as a fin underneath the sand, But after a few hits it emerges to look like a deformed mini phoenix bird. They provide decent Ap though and a fair amount of water Crystals

vs

G-Soldier - These pests are everywhere and have a few forms, But they are mainly bog standard cannon fodder, Have magical abilities along with the old hack and slash abilities, Sadly not much else can be said for these poor bastards.

Big Guys

Ochu - A large overgrown plant, With two razor sharp claws and a giant mouth to boot, This rather annoying critter has the ability to drink your stocked magic, Along with slowing and cursing you, Can also create earthquakes, Sometimes even decides to poison you if its feeling particularly mean.

vs

Blue Dragon - This demi dragon can be a tricky enemy if its not handled right, Has a few mean magical spells at its disposal along with a couple of lethal attacks, But if you manage to blind him he becomes a push over, Can provide you with Fury Fragments which are needed for weapons though.

Fastitocalon - F and Ochu for me, Blue Dragons were made far to easily.

Fastotacalon-F because of Aqua Breath, and... Ochu. I honestly forget was but I specifically remember actually going out of my way to look for Ochus on the Island Closest to Heaven for some reason, never needed the Blue Dragon. I don't remember why but it was probably a good reason.

Fastitocalon -F - 17

G - Soldier - 2

Big guys

Ochu - 4

Blue Dragon - 15

So Fastitocalon and Blue nDragon make their way through to join the others,

Next up we have

Caterchipillar - These giant caterpillars are green witrh blue spots, They either bite you, Blast you with a shot of thunder, Or use Sound waves which Quistis can learn as a blue magic.

vs

Red Bat- Umm not much good can be said about these sadly, I have been trying to think of something for about 10 mins and am stumped, All I could think of was, One hit kills :)

Big Guys

Hexadragon - This dragon is almost pure black in colour and has many eyes, Deals pretty lethal damage with its claws and tail, Also has a breath attack (Not the most powerful out them all) and also has access to magic.

Vs

Elnoyle- These are the weaker forms of Elvorettes which you kill in dollet tower, They are a fan of status magic, Along with using their claws for good physical damage, They also employ storm breth to throw a few status effects on you as well, But they also provide you with Energy crystals when you kill them (Mug also works)

In the little guys Im gonna go for the sympathy vote and say Red Bat and in the big guys I gotta say Elnoyles simply because its an unlimited supply of Energy crystals..

So Caterchipillar and Elnoyle go through to the next round.

Next up we have

Thrustaevis - This big blue bird has a skull for a head??? It has 2 physical attacks along with the magic Aero.

Vs

Glacial Eye - This blue floating eye is made of ice (I assume) and appears to be attached only to a spine. It has only ever used physical attacks on me.

Big guys

Tonberry - This lil fella needs no explanation. All I say is everybodys grudge.

vs

T-Rexaur for the start of the game is a huge monster, Easily subdued with status effects though, But if not stoped can easily wipe out a higher level party as welll.

Right my votes this time round are Thrustaevis and Tonberry

Right 2 draws, And the lucky person who gets to decide them this time round is none other then our very own Agent0042

Right sorry I have been absent but have had dentistry problems.

Anyways the votes from Agent were for Thrustaevis and T-rexaur

Lets see whos next

Elastoid - This crazy looking plantpot with legs that hovers, Is first encountered by Laguna and Co. IT has the ability to land on you and bash you with its pot, and also has a lazer attack that hurts all three of you.

vs

Funguar - The devil mushroom himself, Has the fire and sleep spells, and can also use an attack similar to Quistis's lazer eye.

Big guys

Propergator - These guys everyone should know, They are the dudes you meet on the ragnarok pretty easy once you know the way to kill them, Took me a while to figure it out.

vs

Torama - These cat like creatures go by the name coeurl usually as far as I remember, They have the blaster ability along with some pretty powerful magic.

Right im gonna vote for Funguar as I love the noise they make when they die, and Torama as I hate the Propergators.

Funguar- The devil mushroom itself, Can use Fire + Sleep magic along with a laser attack similar to Quistis's Laser Eye.

Big guys

Propergator - These guys are found on the Ragnarok, They are pretty much unkillable until you figure out the right way to kill them then they become quite easy.

Vs

Torama - These cats are usually called Coeurls afaik, They have the blaster ability along with some pretty strong magical attacks, They like to hang out in Esthar mainly.

vs

Creeps These lovely black shadows look like ghosties and have 4 attacks, Heartbreak, Electrocute, Thunder and their slash. Encountered in the sewers underneath Deiling with Quistis, Selphie + Zell

Big guys

Ruby Dragon - These lovely Red coloured dragon employ one attacck which im sure everyone despises, Breath, Along with some heavily powerful physical attacks and some pretty harsh magic.

vs

Chimera - This mismash of creatures can be problematic as it can absorb a lot of elements. Can also pull of some pretty powerful things, Does drop items to allow quistis to learn Aqua breath though.
