LM Classic round III Ultimate Team War Feverish v Kefka

Hi Kefka, great to meet your team and good luck in the debate. I wasn't familiar with any of these characters before as I've never played any Final Fantasy games or read these manga but I've taken the time to do some research. I don't know if you intended to provide sources yourself but I managed to find the Wiki pages. --- I will henceforth refer to my opponent as either just Con or as Captain Kefka to avoid confusion with his synonymous team member. Before describing my initial strategies I will discuss the members of Captain Kefka's team and the way in which he has presented them. --- 1) Kefka: http://en.wikipedia.org... http://finalfantasy.wikia.com... Con: No, from what I can see he only becomes a god at the end of the story. So as my opponent seems to be acknowledging that the tournament rules forbid those regarded as gods or anyone with virtual omnipotence it is clear that this is Kefka from earlier in the storyline when he has not achieved his Angel of Death or God of Magic status and is not in his EX mode (god form). Con: Quite a vague description by my opponent. The Final Fantasy Wiki describes this as "an orb of energy that explodes over a wide area" it also lists other attacks with higher CP that are not obtained till a higher level. Captain Kefka will need to explain how this attack "ignores defense". Forsaken seems like a powerful move but I note that the orbs can only turn to track targets in EX mode. Light of Judgement is apparently even more powerful than Forsaken but only available in EX mode. --- 2) Anima: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com... Con: <"obviously cooler than the other team"> Come on now, who's cooler than Boba Fett? Pain <"almost always an instant kill move (Unless the opponent is immune to instant death moves, which is trademark in Final Fantasy...so if characters are not from Final Fantasy, who's to say they don't die instantly?"> Interesting logic. So which is the actual trademark, 'instant kill' or 'instant death'? It seems to me that there are many such attacks in all fiction as well as in reality. Shooting someone in the head, dropping a bomb on them or many other mundane methods of killing are all examples of instant kill moves. My characters are indeed from other worlds but I think it is up to my opponent to prove why any attack would automatically kill them. Oblivion: <"Drags you down to hell where you are beaten like the devil's piï¿½ata and then hell explodes...end result = you dead."> Um, this battle takes place in a deserted and indestructible version of real life New York. For this move to be effective Captain Kefka must prove the real life existence of Hell and The Devil. Quite a burden. I also believe that teleporting opponents out of the city is not permitted in this tournament. --- 3) Demon Eyes Kyo - http://en.wikipedia.org... Con:<"Kyo is fast beyond imagine"> This assumes a limit on my own and others imagination which I'm not convinced applies. The above bullet-speed feats described do not suggest that my imagination has been surpassed and I have much faster characters (especially Monkey who can cover 54,000 km in one near instant leap. Con: <"His awareness, because of his samurai training, is also unmatched"> While it may be unmatched in the context of its own manga (and Wiki does seem to agree with my opponent on this) this in no way means that any of, or for that matter, ALL of my team couldn't match it. If it is merely the result of samurai training then I think my technology and magic assisted team should be able to match it easily. As neither gods nor extra team members are permitted I don't think powers that involve summoning gods can reasonably be used either. --- 4) Itachi Uchiha http://en.wikipedia.org... His powers seem to stretch the limit of street-level quite a bit so I'm going to assume they are more limited than Con's descriptions suggest. <"Susanoo- Summons a massive ethereal warrior that attacks on behalf of the user and uses Yato no Kagami (A barrier) to protect him from ALL attacks.> Summoning extra entities is questionable itself but specifying that powers have no limit is clearly against the rules. It can't stop all attacks and it will have to be proved that it can stop any. --- 5) Guts- http://en.wikipedia.org... Street-level characters are defined amongst other things by the type of foes they fight. If he's really defeated so many powerful demons I'm not sure he qualifies but I'll take pity on the rape victim and let him play. ======= THE BATTLE: I note that my opponent has chosen not to make use of the prep time made available to him. +0.01 seconds. Kyo is fast but Monkey is faster and he can see through buildings. Spotting Kyo he flips across the city and fells the demon samurai with a single blow of his magical staff. +0.05 seconds. Ironman's Extremis elixir enhanced reflexes kick in and he flies up above the city. His heat, motion and other sensory devices instantly locate Captain Kefka's team. He begins sniping them with his unibeam and pulse generators while his comm link transfers the data of their location to Pred and Fett's helmet tracking units. +0.3 seconds. Prompted by their helmet devices Pred and Fett detonate the Predator remote bombs and plasma mines (installed by the rats throughout the city) closest to Team Con and begin bombarding them with concussion bombs and laser cannons from Slave 1. +0.7 seconds. By this point all of Team Con will almost certainly have been destroyed but I will not let my team take this for granted and the plan continues. +1 second. Dracula summons the thickest of fogs which rapidly descends over the opposing end of New York. This fog will in no way hinder the visual devices of my armoured characters but will prevent any of Team Con that have somehow survived this far from doing... anything much really. Apart from picking their own nose. Dracs also makes sure this fog stops just above ground level so his rodent army are not hampered. +1.1 seconds. There's a fair chance that immortal, stone Monkey will have survived the explosions and while the smoke from them may annoy him slightly he will still be able to see through the fog and locate any other possible survivors. I expect his search to be in vain. +1.2 seconds. My armoured combatants swoop down over the city using all their detection gear to search for any conceivable sign of life bigger than a rat but without a monkey's tail. Again I expect their search to be fruitless but should they find anyone they are doubly invisible through fog and cloaking devices and can quickly dispose of any opponent from a significant range. +1.5 seconds. The rats move in to feast on the corpses. ==== Thank you.
