Final Fantasy Wiki:Dragon's Neck Colosseum

Click here to nominate or vote for fights to be held in the DNC in the future.

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!

DNC Moderators

The DNC is run by committee. If you have any questions regarding DNC rules, please contact one of the following people: Deadlyslashsword, ScatheMote, and Jimcloud. TacticAngel will also help in areas of policy or if somehow all other members of the committee are unavailable. The committee members will take care of changing the fights, archiving older fights, and maintaining the nominations page. Please do not change the format of this page or change the fight without permission.

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. Failure to comply with these rules will likely result in your vote being removed up to being banned from participating in future fights.

• You may vote only once.
• 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.

• 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:

• Ties will never be called. If the two opponents tie, the defending champion will be declared the victor.
• 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.

TacticAngel's Choice: Red v. Blue

VICTOR Undecided	Our friendly neighborhood bureaucrat TA sadly did not have the time to make his own fight for this week, and so I will leave this space blank for him to fill, should he so choose. What drove him to pick this fight? I don't know, but I do like it, so let's have a good round of voting, shall we?				VICTOR Undecided

Peanut Gallery Okay, explaining how this went. Basically, each of us on the committee chose one fight in the archives that we liked to get a redo here for our 200th fight(s). Ideally, these were all supposed to be ready for me to put on the page today, with a little speechy thing about why we picked our fights, but only DSS made his but I can improvise. To round things out, we've also done a fifth fight, this week's LMS battle. Have fun, guys :D Jimcloud 22:12, June 10, 2012 (UTC) Added my note now; sorry about that. You basically had the gist of what I was going to say, so that's good. :D ScatheMote 22:23, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Deadlyslashsword's Choice: Freya v. Fran

VICTOR Undecided	I had a tough time picking one fight, but I'm fairly happy with this choice. Freya and Fran play very similar roles in their respective games; both fairly quiet and quick-minded, coming from tribes of animalistic/humanoid people. Both left their very inclusive homelands in search of a greater calling, eventually helping their respective protagonists overthrow great evils. Also, in my personal opinion, both are quite underrated.				VICTOR Undecided
Votes for Freya She's actually an interesting character and a useful party member -- Sorceror Nobody  22:15, June 10, 2012 (UTC)  NeoZEROX  22:29, June 10, 2012 (UTC) Most things < Freya. Everything < Dat image. JBed 22:56, June 10, 2012 (UTC) Both are not as developed as well as they ought to be be, but Freya is developed more. Yes Fran is hot, but if there's one thing FF has an abundance of, it's beautiful women.

ScatheMote's Choice: Reno v. Rude

VICTOR Undecided	This fight was the very first edit I ever made to the site (well, technically I made a userpage stating that I was too lazy to make a userpage). I followed the DNC for awhile beforehand, but this fight stood out enough for me to vote in. I was always a big fan of FFVII, and the Turks were always entertaining characters for me. And after joining just for the sake of voting in this fight and languishing around the forums for awhile, I noticed that I wanted to help out with the content of the wiki. This fight was the stepping stone into my joining of this wiki.				VICTOR Undecided

Peanut Gallery I thank you, ScatheMote, for having such a great fight. I actually have a Reno wallpaper now, as Reno is FTW. But, I stopped and thought. What is so great about him? That he fails over and over in the movie? Then eventually "succeeds" by blowing up a bomb? Meh. Rude, however, is amusing through all his appearances. "....." and the fact that he has a crush on Tifa. I mean, why? Yeah, I'm gunna shut up now - Tidus357 01:16, June 11, 2012 (UTC) To Tidus - "That jabronie Reno needs to learn his role".

Jimcloud's Choice: Moogle v. Chocobo

VICTOR Undecided	For my own fight, I took a look at the list, and this fight immediately stood out to me. Well, okay, no, Cactuar v. Tonberry immediately stood out to me, but within that same periphery was Moogle v. Chocobo, and when I noticed it, I immediately seized the idea. Moogle versus Chocobo was the first fight of my own (now defunct) arena, and so there's a good deal of nostalgia in it for me. Not to mention everyone likes the two great mascots of FF to one degree or another, so why shouldn't they duke it out?				VICTOR Undecided
Votes for Moogle  NeoZEROX  22:30, June 10, 2012 (UTC) Moogles are gods. Chocobos are feathered horses.

Last Man Standing Round 12: Zack v. Zell

DEFENDING CHAMPION ZACK FAIR FINAL FANTASY VII Undecided		LAST MAN STANDING		CHALLENGER ZELL DINCHT FINAL FANTASY VIII Undecided
In addition to four fights chosen by your very own DNC committee, we're also running this week's LMS fight as well! That's FIVE TIMES the voting of a normal week! It's like an entire month bundled up into one single week of voting! What can you do with a month of voting? You can make a lot of votes!... I think I've lost my train of thought here. Look, just vote, okay?
Votes for Zack Zack is basically Zell without the suck. Also, this vote is decidedly, DECIDEDLY AGAINST EDIT CONFLICTS AFTER I ARCHIVE ANOTHER FIGHT CLEARLY INDICATING I AM GOING TO UPDATE AND THEN CHANGING THE RESULTS SO AFTER MAKING FOUR FIGHTS I HAVE TO MAKE AN ENTIRELY NEW FIGHT FROM SCRATCH! YOU ARE ON THE LIST, EDIT CONFLICTERS. YOU ARE ON THE LIST. Jimcloud 22:12, June 10, 2012 (UTC) Zack is better than Zell without the suck. Now if you guys will excuse me, I have a Jimcloud to calm down -- Sorceror Nobody  22:17, June 10, 2012 (UTC) How did Zell beat someone from IX, my brain just blow a fuse.  NeoZEROX  22:31, June 10, 2012 (UTC)  < Kamikaze Pardee > 22:53, June 10, 2012 (UTC) I must find Crisis Core ;_; Tidus357 01:03, June 11, 2012 (UTC) Do I need a reason to vote for the best SOLDIER?  CloudyKrystal  01:42, June 11, 2012 (UTC) Still bitter about seeing Celes lose, but I actually liked Zack and his backstory. So he gets my vote here. SelkieMaiden267 02:22, June 11, 2012 (UTC) Zack is much cooler than Zell... Sleepy phoenix 02:59, June 11, 2012 (UTC) If Zell tried to be SOILDER he'd end up being the janitor because he can't fight. User:Fenrir 777 10:21 PM June 11 2012 (UTC) At least I could get Zack's limit breaks in game. I don't think I've ever seen a limit break ONCE in Final Fantasy VIII...

Mr. Know-It-All Zell is very studious, providing background information on various topics, multi-talented, has wickedly powerful Limit Breaks, loves hot dogs, and he's got a fun personality to boot! Zack is gonna win, but I gotta give Zell his first vote! Free bird 00:51, June 11, 2012 (UTC) --ClixPsi 02:08, June 11, 2012 (UTC) 8)Keltainentoukokuu 02:41, June 11, 2012 (UTC) Anonymous Votes
Peanut Gallery Amarant looks a bit too much like Zell for my liking. JBed 22:21, June 10, 2012 (UTC) Zell looks a bit too little like Amarant for my linking. Stupid edit conflicts. Jimcloud 22:22, June 10, 2012 (UTC) ...I actually meant to say "liking", but in this case I think I'll let the spelling mistake go since it is tangentially related to the matter at hand.

Maybe because I have never seen a talk bubble with Amarant? :P Tidus357 00:43, June 6, 2012 (UTC) Heard a few good things about VIII; know practically nothing about IX. So I'll vote for Zell on this one. Even though it hardly matters, as the winner of this fight won't stand much chance against Zack anyway... SelkieMaiden267 01:56, June 7, 2012 (UTC) He has has the better limit break.CardboardBoxMan 04:26, June 7, 2012 (UTC) Because Duel can deal more damage than lionheart if your good enoughSquallisnotemo 06:30, June 7, 2012 (UTC) In a brawl? Zell, no sweat, don't let the demeanor fool you. You CAN be a competent badass fighter and not have a typical dull cold lifeless personality. Anyway as much as like IX Amarant would get wrecked. He's versatile but Zell could do that and more with Junction leaving the hand to hand which Zell owns completely.

TheOxBellows 00:31, June 5, 2012 (UTC) Amarant is one of those characters that a lot of people don't like but I think he's awesome.

Jimcloud 00:38, June 5, 2012 (UTC) Yes, Monja. The absolute highest tier of martial artist, with Monga, Monra, and Monk before it. However, they cost at least 64 MP to summon. Not to be confused with Ninjonk, which is a dummied monster in Final Fantasy Pi. 96.28.192.160 13:14, June 5, 2012 (UTC) But which type of mage would be most likely to summon the Monk and its higher tiers - White or Black? Or would the Blue Mage gain this power after surviving the attack of a Monk (Monra, Monga, or Monja) summoned against him/her? Or is it available to anyone via a magicite, materia, or other such device? SelkieMaiden267 16:31, June 5, 2012 (UTC) Trading cards. It's summoned through a children's card game.  Armageddon11!  21:15, June 6, 2012 (UTC) What if I had a holographic Gilgamesh card? Would that make me more likely to draw more powerful "weapon" cards in the game, particularly swords?
