Functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or whom you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that week. Fights are changed weekly, and are supposed to be updated on Monday, but fate often conspires to make us update on Tuesday, so keep that in mind if you don't see a new fight yet. Failure to comply with the following rules will likely result in your vote being removed, and repeated or particularly obnoxious rule violations may result in a ban from participating in future fights.
 
*You may vote only once.

====Last Man Standing====
'''''Any failure to adhere to these rules will result in your vote(s) being removed'''''. Ties may be called if the victor won by a margin of 10% or less.
 
  +
'''Last Man Standing''' is a spinoff of the original Dragon's Neck Colosseum. It is a fight between the previous victor of Last Man Standing and victor of the previous DNC fight. It occurs every other week; in other terms, it happens when the normal DNC fights are not going on. It has the same rules as the normal fights, with a few exceptions:
==Week 125: BAD FIGHT WEEK V==
 
  +
*If the two opponents tie, the both characters will be retired, and two new fighters will appear.
===[[Penelo]] v. [[Rikku]]===
 
  +
*If a character wins 5 Last Man Standing fights in a row, he or she will be retired from LMS and two new battlers will vie for the coveted champion spot.
  +
*Sometimes a previous Last Man Standing champion may be revived to fight against the current champion. This will happen if the previous DNC winner is incompatible with LMS (i.e. if the previous winner was a game mechanic, a summon, or an enemy) or for special celebrations.
  +
====Magicite Madness IV====
  +
The wiki's triannual tournament, ''Magicite Madness'', has returned for a fourth time! As a result, new polls will be up every 3 days until the Elimination rounds are complete. Also, '''you must log in for your votes to count.'''

As a fan of both these ladies, I'm proud to say that I cannot decide between the two. Penelo is actually a down-to-earth girl who has lost more than her parents and has the guts to keep Vaan in line. As for Rikku, she may be hyper-active but she's actually very protective of her people and her beliefs. Sure, X-2 kinda ruined her but still. I'll decide when the time comes.--'''[[User:Krystal Tomlin|<font color="midnightblue">Cluna</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Krystal Tomlin|<font color="darkgreen">06</font>]]''' 18:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 
 
I'm not going to vote to the most empty character in the series and in many other RPGs. If were the FFX's Rikku, maybe she would get my vote. But never for the idiot for-fapers character she becomed in FFX-2. [[User:Rai Balmung|Rai Balmung]], the gargoyle 19:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 
 
Great. Another one I can't decide. Penelo has great mage stats, and like Vaan I don't hate her like other people inexplicably do. Rikku is one of my favourite "bubbly ditzes" and while she can be annoying, that's usually taken as a given for Nomura's bubbly ditzes. Both are pretty hot, though Rikku is more so. Sure X-2 made Rikku less likeable, but at least it didn't make her less useful like Revenant Wings did to Penelo. But then Penelo is classed as a viera in TA2, which trumps all. This is too difficult... too many conflicting issues... can't make up mind... {{User:Sorceror Nobody/Sig|19:43, 5 July 2009 (UTC)}}
 
 
Oh, what the hell. And to anon's vote nº1 for Rikku: Yes, you have to sign. [[User:Zak_Undersn|Zak Undersn]] 20:53, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 
 
Okay, this one is a hard one to decide. Penelo has FFXII's battle system, which makes it impossible (or close to) to say that a particular character sucks in battle because it's not their fault, it's yours. Rikku is the better looking of the two, but she was my weakest character in both the games she was in (in all fairness, Penelo is my weakest in FFXII, but not in FFXIIRW), and thiefs aint that good. I'll probably vote after I have thought on it some more. {{User:Armageddon11(DANIELSJ14)/Sig}} 00:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I shall make teh fanboys butthurt when I say Rydia has about as much importance as a blade of grass. Oh, and she spent her puberty in furryland. {{BfDsig|02:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)}}
 
 
Yikes, it seems like I pissed off someone. Sorry, but Eiko's the better summoner in FFIX. Since summons need their full-animation to deal full power in IX (which was fairly rare), Dagger's attack summons just didn't have the impact necessary to make up for the MP cost. Eiko, on the other hand, had a full set of White Magic and hade some good support summons. If this was Rydia versus Eiko, then I might go with Eiko due to her being an overall useful character. Plus, at least Rydia didn't have a random silent effect mid-game like Dagger. Just what we need, a mage that can't use magic. [[User:ClixPsi|ClixPsi]]

# Maybe Garland made some sort of grand entrance in the realms of villains by being the first villain of the FF saga and the first one to play with time (and thus being the first one to make players realize that all their hard work leveling and such served for absolutely nothing).

That guy's greediness in man form. Plus Kefka took after him in basically everything (and improving it but still the bases were from Palamecia) which also adds points to the Emperor. Despite the UBOAR and the general dislike I've for FFII.[[User:Celythia|'''Celythia''']]
 
#i dont know whats with the sprite, it looks deform so thats one point and 2nd point for it is a FF2 character.[[User:GRIEVER POWER|GRIEVER POWER]] 11:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

# I would have to go with Mateus. He was the first villan to have a personality, albeit one of the utmost cruelty, malice, and calculation, which culminated into an arcane desire for mastery of not just Earth, but the afterlife as well. Much better than Garland's malpropism. [[User:ApatheticAngel|ApatheticAngel]]
 
#I love both of them, but i will vote The Emperor, such underrated villain on such underrated game. [[User:CookiePinguy|CookiePinguy]] 08:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 
#Gamewise, FF1 clearly wins. Villainwise, Mateus beats Garland for being a crazy megalomaniac and a killer. - [[User:Aquamarine39]]

#Ooh, this one's a bit of a tough one. On the one hand, Garland gained the powers of Chaos and made a time loop that caused him to become effectively immortal. On the other hand, Emperor Mateus died, went to Hell, apparently booted the previous head out, and unleashed Hell on Earth (or whatever the world would be called). I'm going with the Emperor on this one because while he may not have been technically immortal, he certainly had more potential to destroy the world if left alone. Garland was stuck in that time loop and really couldn't do a damn thing about it besides run through the process again and again and again...[[Special:Contributions/173.50.0.39|173.50.0.39]] 18:44, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

# Sure, Garland is the first Final Fantasy villain, but he doesn't accomplish much more than creating some time loop. The Emperor on the other hand, plunges the world into darkness. He expands his empire, killing all those who oppose him. He wipes out several towns in his mad bid for power. And he takes over Hell. Come on now. You can't get much more badass than that. Plus, he is downright evil to the core, as even his "good" side, is as evil as his bad side, just much more manipulative.[[Special:Contributions/96.242.165.2|96.242.165.2]] 00:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 
# Mateus is what Kefka wants to be when he grow up. He did everything Kefka did, but unlike the overrated-clown, he didn't stop at dead. He continued conquering, and took over Hell and Heaven! Everyone who likes the clown, should be voting on the Emperor.[[Special:Contributions/189.32.113.202|189.32.113.202]]

#[[Special:Contributions/74.72.39.163|74.72.39.163]] 02:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)The Emperor can take over hell and heaven single handed, while all Garland did was create a Time Paradox to get Chaos in him...Making Chaos basically looking like Ultimecia...So that's why my vote goes to the Ruler of the Palamecian Empire.

Meh. Still not very interested in this fight, but at least it was easy to pick which one to vote for.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 04:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 
:I know what you mean Neo. But at least its a good fight to sit and watch. [[User:TheBlueDragoon|TheBlueDragoon]] 05:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 
::I guess, but I can't participate as much in discussion...the good kind. Although, it just occured to me to wonder: What do they do with Garland in Dissidia? They obviously can't have him becoming Chaos.[[User:Neo Bahamut|Neo Bahamut]] 10:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 
:::I wondered the same thing. I didn't really follow Dissidia too much yet, as far as story goes. I wanted to be surprised, but you do make a good point. [[User:TheBlueDragoon|TheBlueDragoon]] 18:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 
::::Garland is just Garland and Chaos is a separate being. The best game to compare it to is actually Nintendo's ''Super Smash Bros.''; a massive marketing gimmick with everyones "favorite FF characters". It's basically an excuse plot and can't be taken as canon, anyway.--[[User:Werefang|<font color="#006400">'''<u>Were</u>'''</font>]][[User talk:Werefang|<font color="#006400">'''<u>fan</u>g'''</font>]] 23:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 
::::: I think the comparison of Dissidia and SSB has been cliched. Its a very accurate comparison, and we all know its not canon, but its so cliche. Anyway, point is, we all know that in Dissidia Garland and Chaos are two separate entities. [[User:TheBlueDragoon|TheBlueDragoon]] 00:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

:Don't know them "in game" so I'm not going to vote, but at least both are interesting characters. And well, I don't like so much the newer games, so I enjoy seeing battles between old games. [[User:Rai Balmung|Rai Balmung]], the gargoyle 14:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't really know who to vote for. The one made his way into the past to send the Four Fiends into the future, wo will grant himself the power to travel back in time to send them to the future to grant himself etc., and the other died and took over Heaven&Hell. They are just too freaking awesome. If the votes were a bit more reasonable this would be fun to watch.[[User:Zak_Undersn|Zak Undersn]] 15:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
I'm noticing a lot of unsigned anonymous votes again. Do we need another reminded? Please sign your votes with four tildes. [[User:TheBlueDragoon|TheBlueDragoon]] 23:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 
 
One, used the help of 4 demons to create a time-loop that doesn't make sense. The other, destroyed the world and took over Hell and Heaven.
 
Wow, that was "hard" to decide.
 
:But the former made the latter his bitch in Dissidia. [[User:CheeseNinja|CheeseNinja]] 03:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 
Although i prefer Garland to most of the other villians thanks to 8-bit Theater, the Emperor did do a lot more than garland and really qualifies as the better villian. Also, DO THE ALREADY SCHEDULED FIGHTS EVEN COUNT ANYMORE?!?!?! --[[User:Gerdat14|Gerdat14]] 21:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Uwee hee hee hee! Welcome, editors, to the Dragon's Neck Colosseum! My name is Ultros the receptionist, and I'm taking bets as to who will win in a tussle between two characters from the Final Fantasy series! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more of a poll, really. The Colosseum owner stuck me on this duty after Kefka was defeated, but I need the money! So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous!

The Rules, Briefly[]

Functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or whom you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that week. Fights are changed weekly, and are supposed to be updated on Monday, but fate often conspires to make us update on Tuesday, so keep that in mind if you don't see a new fight yet. Failure to comply with the following rules will likely result in your vote being removed, and repeated or particularly obnoxious rule violations may result in a ban from participating in future fights.

  • You may vote only once.
  • You may only vote on the most recent fight. Fights from previous weeks that have not yet been archived are closed to voting, although you may still comment on them if you wish.
  • If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not logged in when you vote as a user, your vote will be removed.
  • If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section. Anonymous votes are only worth half as much as a registered user's vote.
  • To vote, type the following "#~~~~", afterward including any reasons for voting you may wish to include. You are required to leave this whether you are logged in or anonymous. If you do not sign and timestamp your vote, it will be removed.
  • Add your votes to the bottom of the list. Please do not post anything obnoxious and/or extraordinarily lengthy or it will be removed. Lengthy votes will be moved to the peanut gallery, whereas obnoxious votes can be removed if two thirds of the panel agree upon it.
  • If you wish to comment on the fight, please leave your remarks in the peanut gallery. You are expected to conduct yourself with courtesy. Comments must relate to the fight at hand.
  • Any failure to adhere to these rules will result in your vote(s) being removed.

Last Man Standing[]

Last Man Standing is a spinoff of the original Dragon's Neck Colosseum. It is a fight between the previous victor of Last Man Standing and victor of the previous DNC fight. It occurs every other week; in other terms, it happens when the normal DNC fights are not going on. It has the same rules as the normal fights, with a few exceptions:

  • If the two opponents tie, the both characters will be retired, and two new fighters will appear.
  • If a character wins 5 Last Man Standing fights in a row, he or she will be retired from LMS and two new battlers will vie for the coveted champion spot.
  • Sometimes a previous Last Man Standing champion may be revived to fight against the current champion. This will happen if the previous DNC winner is incompatible with LMS (i.e. if the previous winner was a game mechanic, a summon, or an enemy) or for special celebrations.

Magicite Madness IV[]

The wiki's triannual tournament, Magicite Madness, has returned for a fourth time! As a result, new polls will be up every 3 days until the Elimination rounds are complete. Also, you must log in for your votes to count.

For archives, additional rules, and further scheduling details, see the project page.

Again, you must log in for your votes to count.

Older Fights![]

Old Magicite Madness fights should be viewed at the schedule.

You can find older fights in the Archives for the Dragon's Neck Colosseum. All of these fights are closed, so don't bother voting. All new votes will be removed. Each archive contains 10 weeks of different fights.

CONGRATS TO THE CHAMPION, GILGAMESH![]

Thanks to the end of MMIV, the DNC is on indefinite hiatus.
