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.
  • 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 to 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.

  1. Just because I generally favor gunners over pirates. And also because I think "The Man with the Machine Gun" is such a kick-ass tune. 184.5.189.204 23:22, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Credit for the fanart goes to shima chiyo and roman-ranman.

Seeing a lot of votes for Faris under the rationale that "this is her last LMS fight; let's make it count" for some reason. (Sceada, Selkie, E&T, and Rosenarm all being in that camp.) Lol at the Gilgamesh shout-out, but as for E&T...what is it with you and all your chess references? 184.5.189.204 23:32, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

Well, is it wrong for us all to want to see a heroic character rise to glory? And as for me personally, is it wrong that I should apply the symbolism of the pawn becoming a queen to Faris in this final Last Man Standing fight? EdgarXTerra4ever 20:42, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
I would have though Laguna is more heroic than Faris. He took down the world's most dangerous Sorceress and her regime just to rescue his de-facto adoptive daughter. That being said, he did stick around to be President while his wife died and his children went to an orphanage... Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 22:43, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Your second sentence just convinced me that Laguna is the most badass character ever, then in your next sentence you convinced me that Laguna is the biggest douche ever. JBed (talk) 22:48, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Pretty much. Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 23:21, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Do you not know better, JBed, than to expect any straightforwardness from a despotic chessmaster-emperor? Do not allow his doublespeak to confuse you, as that, too, is undoubtedly his plan. EdgarXTerra4ever 23:36, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Random "REPUBLICAN CAR!" reference for the WTF/loll. Very nice arts by the way. Although, I think Faris' posing is a little too... uh, hmm, timid for her. But what do I know, not like I can draw like that. AnonyMan (talk) 02:34, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Week 239: Barret v. Laguna

Barret PortraitNB
Dnc v
Ff8-laguna
VICTOR
Laguna
16 to 22½
Elders of their respective games' main protagonist, these two gunners have personalities and mannerisms that are somewhat unorthodox for the world in which they live. Their adopted daughters have them wrapped around their respective fingers, and they would do anything to keep them safe.
Also, both of them have pierced their left ear. Truly, the similarities are remarkable.
VICTOR
Laguna
16 to 22½

Is is just me or do a lot of people seem to dislike Dissidia versions of characters?Squallisnotemo (talk) 21:06, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I assume it's because most Dissidia representations tend to be dumbed down considerably to the point where they only focus on one character trait. Emperor-PSPFieldMATEUS 10:58, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
