Uwee hee hee hee! Welcome, editors, to the Dragon's Neck Colosseum! My name is Ultros the receptionist, and each week 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! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message here.
The Rules, Briefly
Functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that week. You may vote only once. If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section. It is important to do this because user and anonymous votes carry different weight. Votes put in the wrong section will be deleted. Users who do not log in when they vote will be considered anonymous IPs, and their votes also will be deleted. When a new fight is created, generally once per week, the previous fight's votes will be totaled and its winner decided. Ties may be called if the victor won by a margin of 10% or less.

Peanut GalleryI could not hate Rusty, but I don't love him. Anyone who spends two disks yelling at Zidane and cheering on Queen Thunder Thighs is gonna get no love from me. Drake Clawfang Great. Now Illua lost. I must be bad luck or something. BlueLionheart |
Week 82: Illua v. Edea
Winner!! Edea 53½ to 22½ |

Its hard to imagine there isn't a favorite in this bout, but, can a relatively unknown from one of the lowest selling modern Final Fantasies dethrone the seductively evil face of black magic? | |||||

Peanut GallerySurprised BH haven't voted yet, get ready for thelongest lecture of your life when he does. Maj.H As cool as the SeeD are, I always though that Edea's assassination plan was dumb. Why lower the gate rousing her suspicion and caution? She could have easily been sniped regardless. Granted she blocked the shot but it wouldn't look as stupid it hadn't set her up to do it.AnonyMan YAY! My fight! Thanks TA :D Hopefully it doesn't turn into a blowout... 8bit 15:34, 22 August 2008 (UTC) Illua Anon vote # 4 gave me a chuckle with their comment of FFVIII. "Had no plot", wow if you don't pay attention to the story no FF game has a plot then.--AnonyMan
Does anyone else find it stupid when someone votes and says "oh (name of competitor being voted for) is the greatest best character in the series", and then right after that they're like, btw who is (name of person they didnt vote for).Eternal Twilight 09:22, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I never played Grimoire of the Rift, so my vote would of course be biased. Then again, I can't stand Edea, so maybe not ... 71.64.154.24 11:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I really like both characters but throwing in my vote for Edea would just be overkill and voting for Illua would be a waste of time. Does anyone care enough about this fight to sway my vote? ChocoboRider Well I haven't been very active, nor have I posted this rant in a while, but why the hell do people vote for one side, if they don't know the other character, much less played the game? If you don't know what's happening, then you DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. Are you REALLY going to make yourself seem stupid by making an uneducated, blind vote? I've seen people voting like this every time and it really annoys me that people are putting their opinions in, when THEIR OPINIONS DON'T MATTER dudutsai

Week 81: Firion v. Bartz
Winner!! Bartz 38½ to 30½ |
|||||
Tonight we bring you the final climatic battle between two main characters of the Final Fantasy series. For years, the Internet has been filled with the fires of fanwankery as forums and flames debate over which is the superior. The fanboys have fought and died couragously for their cause... Wait no, that's Cloud v. Squall. Sorry. Instead we have something completely different: Bartz v. Firion. Remember those old dudes? | |||||

Peanut GalleryUmmI would pick Bartz because he has a somewhat cool backstory ... Why has Seifer v Kadaj been called a draw? The score is just outside of the 10% margin required to win. --SCM 07:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC) Ok people, let's rewrite the law of math and common sense, because from this day on, 45.5 = 41!!!! Great job guys, u make me look smart. Leon5550
Also, two things. First, remember this is Firion vs Bartz, not Firion vs Boco. Second, Bartz may not wear blue lipstick, but that's only because he's already wearing purple lickstick, which goes better with his grey skin. Drake Clawfang
I CANNOT believe Kadaj lost!!! Oh well. I also have to agree with BlueHighwind. I can only IMAGINE what would have happened if they didn't!!! BlueLionheart This is a tough one. Haven't played FFV yet, but FFII is turning out to be the second most annoying game of the series. RowdyCMoore
Why did you change the fight description, Drake? I like TA's occasional bouts of randomness and quirkiness. -- YuanchosaanSalutations! 01:01, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
You wanna talk about a frustrating game to get good at, play MGS4. just beat it on the extreme difficulty with no alarms, kills, deaths, health items used, in under 5 hours. i almost wanted to start ripping my hair out at some parts. the games still unbelievable, best game ive ever played to say the least. i donno how confusing ff2 is but after beating that game i feel like i can take on anything, so i might as well. Etch
Bringing up the tie thing without the ever decreasing column widths, the 10% thing is usually only applied when there are tens to hundreds of thousands of votes, and there is a possibility that some were overlooked. When there are 80 votes total, it's not really issue. 71.64.154.24 17:45, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Otens: Hey Xia dood, pay attention to where you post your vote. I moved it from the 'Do not add below this line' thing. I may get in trouble for it, I'll never know because I'll disappear anyway for a bit. Yikes. Tempers are really flaring over that whole Seifer thing, huh? Gravity Bomb 10:11, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Firionklauser: What is up with so many people liking Galuf? He has to be one of the worst main chars ever. And, about this whole percentage thing, I think if you have more votes, you win. Everyone has a fair shot in voting, and if you weren't able to, tough beans. It's kinda weird to say it's a tie and then you see the score clearly as 45.5 > 41.
If TA dares call this one a draw, I will kill him. JudgeZarbi 17:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Firionklauser: I dunno, we all have our preferences when it comes to our favorites. I just see Galuf as some old boring guy. Although, granted, the scene where he and Bartz "see" Faris is entertaining, i'll give him that.

Winner!! DRAW 45.5 to 41 |

Misc. misguided male youth, go! Long coats, unorthodox swords, and a grudge with the heroes, these two come from two installments of the Final Fantasy franchise that have a true love-hate relationship with the fandom. But in a fight, who can beat who? | |||||

Peanut GalleryTwo votes for Seifer and I already see the pattern of votes for him...Seifer may have killed Odin, but then he got whipped by Gilgamesh! Just reminding you of that. Drake Clawfang
It sucks Kingdom Hearts ruined Seifer; where's his rivalry with Squall, it would've been cool. --AnonyMan 12:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Huh, TacticAngel actually bothered to make a fight this week. I kinda hoping he had moved on to other things. Well, whatever, I can't hide my disappointment. Anyway, how do you pronounce "Seifer". I've always been a "SIGHfer" kind of guy, but I often hear "SEEfer", which just sounds idiotic. --BlueHighwind 12:38, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
So... do I vote for Seifer 'cause of the Badass Longcoat and cool weapon or for Kadaj 'cause he has a great Evil Laugh and is connected to Sephy? OtOcon^_- 14:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Seifer is connected to Gilgamesh, while Kadaj gets his own custom Bahamut summon. Lol. Drake Clawfang Man, this is all i gotta say. People here who are against final Fantasy VII will not vote for them at all costs. Good bye Final Fantasy VII winning streaks. -Zack fair 007
Hmm! A close fight. This one should be interesting, though I've thrown my vote for the gunblade-wielder. --Tex HOWDY!!! 22:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to point out to the one Kadaj voter's comment. The "GunBlade" the two cronies use are really just firearms. Something the Gunblade is in fact not(despite it's name). --AnonyMan 13:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Whoever left anonymous vote #4 kinda freaked me out a little.-BlueLionheart Sephiroth should be disqualified for having too many emoticons, and the abundance of 'gay level'...Seymour2012
