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!

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. Week 250: BAD FIGHT WEEK! Four quality* fights! DSS's Fight: Cloud Strife v. Ultimecia VICTOR ????? DSS's comment: I've seen more than a few fans claim that Squall and Sephiroth would have matched up better as far as hero vs. villain go, as both are dark and brooding and have a penchant for leather and emotional problems. But this fight isn't about them, this fight is about who would be left over when the two bad boys realize they're a much better match for one another. So who will emerge victorious in this battle of irrelevancy? VICTOR ?????

Jimcloud's comment: One of these characters became enamored with a race of "monsters", and was ostracized from his people for his attempts at humanizing them. The other is a hero of his people and would do anything to save them, even if it meant doing something monstrous. Also, we could be doing this every other week, so take a moment to be thankful that we're not. VICTOR ?????

Also, Tenzen hangs out with the Chebukki twins, who are together the WORST COMIC RELIEF in ALL OF FINAL FANTASY. THE WORST. I DON'T CARE HOW BAD YOU THINK THE OTHERS ARE, THE CHEBUKKIS ARE THE WORST.

Indeed, this battle is the exact opposite: it is a showdown between the two weakest characters in Final Fantasy VI. But whose weakness will lead them to a pitiful victory? Will Strago actually managed to pull his weight for once? Will Umaro actually do anything but attack? The answer is probably no. VICTOR ?????

We've taken the liberty of removing any image intruding on this fight. Anyway, this is a fight about character development…and hair. Terra lets down her hair after triumphantly defeating Kefka while Garnet cuts hers and learns how to cope with tragedy. Both are memorable scenes, but which hair was more memorable? Who will be the last hair standing? VICTOR ????? Votes for Terra's Hair I'm against Garnet cutting her hair, she was so cute with it long and she ruining it by cutting it off! Garnet I like you and you butt is pretty soft but cutting off your hair made me sad.

In terms of appearances, Garnet was much prettier with long hair, while Terra with green hair is classic.

Project Crystallis? C A T U S E 17:37, May 19, 2013 (UTC) Operation Suzaku, actually.  < Kamikaze Pardee > 17:42, May 19, 2013 (UTC) Mm. I'm not a big fan of Operation Suzaku because, while their end goal is indeed great, their means are ... eh. For example, "As a first “physical contact” with Square Enix, Operation Suzaku will send them 10,000 pennies as soon as the petition reach 10,000 signatures. This way, they won’t be able to ignore the operation and will know that a high demand exists." - that won't show anything (10,000 isn't enough for a huge game like Type-0 to profit off of, iirc) and will just make the secretary who opens that box have a very bad day. C A T U S E 17:48, May 19, 2013 (UTC) Yeah I found that part a little odd. I think that whole penny thing was done a little while ago actually, but there are a few other things they do to let Square know about the want for Type-0 outside of Japan. But it doesn't hurt to just sign the petition, which literally takes only a minute or two.  < Kamikaze Pardee > 17:53, May 19, 2013 (UTC) Is there a link for this petition? and is there a way to get them to make the content of other games the same everywhere, and not just for certain regions? --Pzykosiz (talk) 23:56, May 19, 2013 (UTC) Square-Enix will just laugh at the petition and use the pennies to make XIII-4. Hundred-dollar budget? Why not.

Did they play the Japanese version of the game, read the novels, or just read about him on the wiki?SlamShuffle 19:27, May 22, 2013 (UTC) It's obvious they did one or all of those things. It's just like any other time people vote for a character they stated they don't know about. Don't forget not every vote for someone is a vote FOR them as it is a spite vote against the other.--AnonyMan (talk) 22:24, May 22, 2013 (UTC) Well, guess I'm just weird then. I voted for the card-themed name. King of Noobs 01:06, May 23, 2013 (UTC) I'm actually watched the walkthrough...with my mediocre knowledge of Japanese, I was able to know him ;)--Nur Fadzila (talk) 08:44, May 23, 2013 (UTC) @Anonyman - I'm assuming your first sentence is sarcastic, because otherwise I don't get how it matches up with the following two. While I'm not surprised some of the votes for Ace are for appearance (e.g. Cat) or are really votes against Setzer (e.g. DSS), some of the comments (e.g. Nur) indicate familiarity with Ace. Since the game hasn't been released outside of Japan, I was wondering which alternative medium they had encountered him through. And if they voted for him without knowing a lot about him, that's fine too. SlamShuffle 20:10, May 23, 2013 (UTC) I honestly wasn't being sarcastic. Then again, I probably shouldn't have used the word "obvious" as that's more often than not a sign of sarcasm in text. But yeah, DNC votes can just lack all basis of sense in the choice. Loll.--AnonyMan (talk) 23:19, May 23, 2013 (UTC) Sorry, I must have misunderstood you. I thought in the first sentence you were saying people DID know him through one of the choices I gave, and in the second, you were saying that they DIDN'T know him. But after reading it again, maybe you meant those were substitutes for knowing him through the game? Anyway, don't want to make a big deal, since I was just trying to find out which method (if any) people used to learn about Ace. SlamShuffle 20:21, May 24, 2013 (UTC) My vote was anti-Setzer? lolwat? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 02:34, May 24, 2013 (UTC) Got mixed up by the 'shadow realm' comment. Given anonyman's comment about spite votes, yours was the closest to an anti-Setzer vote I could see. My mistake. SlamShuffle 20:21, May 24, 2013 (UTC) Nope, it was just playing on the YGO theme of the fight that seems to have been lost on most people :s To answer your question, I think a few of the pro-Ace voters went to that side because we wish we had Type-0, but ultimately, vote rationale really doesn't matter unless it's obnoxious. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 23:37, May 24, 2013 (UTC) Ace could have won this fight if Type-0 has been localized.
