Seph has been waiting several hours for his opponent. Just as he thinks that he wont show the sky becomes dark as if a storm is brewing. Thunder shatters the silence and lightning lights up the now ominously dark sky. A massive worm hole like portal suddenly opens up and from it a meteor like object comes blazing down onto the arena. When the smoke clears a man with a dark raincoat can be seen kneeled down amongst the debree. He rises slowly and removes his hood. "I am Sion"...."you are late" says the Referee. The entire mood suddenly changes as the sky becomes bright and sunny once again. "Are you serious? Sorry about that.....I got lost " Sion says as he scratches his head and gives a care free laugh. "Alright then, are ya ready to fight?"See whats under the Rain Coat (edited by Sion on 01-25-05 04:57 PM) (edited by Sion on 01-25-05 04:59 PM) |

| Elite Seph: "Ready to fight? I was born ready! Anyways, go on. Make the first move... it could very well be your last." Elite Seph stood there, waiting patiently for Sion to make his first move and to open up the fight. |

| "If you insist" Sion throws his raincoat to this side revealing himself (See Link) "Hmmmm which should I start off with? This one looks good" Sion attaches a Super Mario Style Keychain to the end of his blade. "I call this the Mushroom Kingdom Key, like it?" With the blade over his shoulder Sion charges into battle. Just as he approaches Seph Sion flips over him and attacks using the handle of his blade. (edited by Sion on 01-25-05 05:15 PM) |

| Elite Seph: "Not so fast!" FLASH BANG! Suddenly, a blinding flash of light An ultraviolet aurora blurred, seriously blinding anything in it's path. Of course, the object of this tech wasn't to drain life force from Sion, but to temporarily disable the opponent and live him up and open for attack. |

| Sion gives a carefree laugh. "Ive spent more time in the world of Darkness then you can possibly imagine". He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a blindfold. As he places the blindfold over his eyes Sion gets puts his blade onto his back and stands perfectly still waiting for Seph to strike. | |||

| Elite Seph: "Dodge this... if you can!" 4 CORNERS BLAST! Seph lit up in a golden aurora, purely encasing his body in streams of energy as he had done so. Then, Seph vividly lept high into the air, and started running a full lap around the arena, tagging each of the 4 corners. Once all 4 corners have been tagged, Seph lept into the middle where Sion had been standing and then, out of those 4 corners, came HUMONGOUS Kamehameha waves (you'd have to watch DBZ to know what that is; if not, then it's just a gigantic blue energy beam shot from the palm of the caster) at an amazing speed. They went by so fast Elite Seph was barely able to keep track of them even with it's advanced technology. |

*Yeah I watch DBZ and all other sorts of Anime  *Light Bulb*Unaware to Seph the entire time Sion was concentrating all his energy into one of his "special moves". "KAGE BUNSHIN No JUTSU!!!" Sion split into five bodys as four of them deflected the 4 Kamehameha waves upwards the last quickly made his way towards Seph and launched him into the air. Just as Seph reached the highest point of his toss he was bombarded by all deflected Kamehameha waves. |

| Elite Seph: "Don't play the clone game with me!" ILLUSION SMASHER! As soon as Seph called out the spell's name, all 5 or so Sions had been forged back together into one being again! Not only that, but it accumulated more damage for each of the 5 clones that have been present (the more clones the target creates of himself, the more serious the damage this does in compensation for it), and as such, Sion suffered neutral damage. Elite Seph: "Great! Now it's time for me to play a game of my own..." RE-DEFINE ELEMENT-ABSORB! Wierd... Elite Seph stood high in the air, and just let the waves come to him for some reason... could it be that he had a death wish on his mind? Or was it truly a death wish? All the deflected kamehameha waves hit him, and yet left not a single scratch on his fine armor. Infact, it did the opposite! Seph merely inhaled the deflected waves, containing them all with ease... looks like Seph's immune towards his own attacks. Not only that, but when he absorbed the blasts, the spell he had cast allowed him to change the nature of it's element... and thus, Seph had changed it's contents from light-energy to dark-elemental, which he used as leverage for his next attack. His eyes started to glare red as he was emmiting gratuitous sums of energy, which was more than enough to ignite his next ultimate attack. Elite Seph: "Thanks for the boost in energy! Now, I've been blessed with enough energy to charge another attack I know you will not be able to dodge! So, go on! Hit me... if you can!" Seph waited for Sion to make his next move... |

| Sion thinks to himself *this guys tough....but the bigger they are they harder im gonna knock em down!* Sion unleashed all his might. A fierce blue aura surrounded his body as the ground around him crumbled. His eyes shown with the same blue light. And then he vanished. Seph wondered what had just happened as he looked around him Sion came rushing at him from what seemed like outer space with two Blades in hand Sion launched a series of blows as rapid as they were powerful. | |||

| Schwa appears before them, dumbfounded. "Oh... my... God. That was THE most PATHETIC excuse for a battle I have ever seen." He chews both players out for a while, censored due to a lack of desire to be banned for 48 hours. Then he turns around for a moment and calms down for a while... Then, turning around again, he smiles. "Sorry guys, but you gotta spend some time around the pros. There was no dramatic emotion, no descriptive writing, and no pattern to attacks! Sion, I'll have to vote for you ONLY because you had a better start. But you made the HUGE mistake of copying Jarukoth's signature move, the Shadow Clone skill, and YOU, Seph; You godmodded when you fired a megaton energy beam without charging up or gathering energy in some way! Plus the fight was too friggin short! Sion, you get my vote, but if you want any chance at all of winning the tournament in the hands of elite players like Jarukoth, Grey or Dracoon, you'd better adjust your writing style. Do I make myself clear? "Very good. I will see you later." He turns and wavers away. |

| Yeah thats very clear. I have a certain way about me, that whole fight got out of hand when Seph wouldnt take a single hit. I guess I could have just let him hit me but instead I fought back stronger. ill shape up in time for the next match I promise. Oh and I didnt "copy" Jarukoth...we must have both copied Naruto. Thanks for the Vote! | |||

| Don't thank me. I'm just doing my job. But yeah, I understand when the players cheaply avoid damage like that... Damage is what makes the battle more realistic and dramatic, not to mention fair. Seph, I'm talking to YOU, too. SBing is supposed to be an exercise of the player's creative writing skills and imaginitive thoughts. Sometimes, throwing in a plot twist that makes the battle into more of a story, WILL earn a player my vote. But there's a difference between a plot twist and a sleek way to influence judges... I'm for the former, not the latter. Sion, sometime I want you and I to have a battle. In fact, I want that relitively soon. What do you think about that? Tell me and I'll start the thread. I believe it could help you get better at SBing in future battles, plus I'd enjoy it as much as you. So... whatsay? P.S. I've seen Seph's battle style more than once, and I don't like it. He godmodded in the fight against the DiEm Team (Jarukoth), he tried to start and justify a godmodding spree in the thread "The ULTIMATE Challenge", and he godmodded in this fight as well. Folks, these are examples of what NOT to do in an elite SB. And Seph, I promise you if you don't change this style, you'll never earn my vote in later matches. Creativity is EVRYTHING, also. When I judge it's based mostly on creativity, but also if the player followed the rules of SBing. Keep this in mind. |

| Hey, hey, hey. Don't even go there. First of all, I did NOT god-mod with using that Kamemeha wave tech because I managed to spare a turn BEFORE using it, even if I didn't indicate that I used that turn to charge the tech first (which I did; I forgot to mention it in that last post, so I just made it seem like I did by waiting until the next turn before using it). Secondly, say what you will about my style. Regardless of what anyone says, it's perfectly LEGAL. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's an intensely sophisticated, danger-type style, indeed, but as long as it's not breaking any of the SB rules (which it's not; I even tend to "proof read" each of my posts to make sure of this and, while I tend to "go overboard" at times and break one or more of them, it's usually not the case), it's ALLOWED under any and all circumstances, and there's nothing the judges, or even the mods (if there are any, for just this particular forum anyway) can do about it. You just don't like it because, unlike most fighters, I take time to come up with my own unique strategies and techs, and use them in ways I haven't seen many before me use them before. This is why I used to include that "no pussies" rule as one of the rules for my SB threads whenever I saw fit: people whining about how good I am, calling my strategies "cheap" and "unfair" just because I manage to give 10 out of 10 fighters a run for their money. I went undefeated in more than 10 or so battles at the old Acmlm's Board, some of them in which I heard were supposed to be the best SBers around (they include one or more of Zerodius', darkmagician's, and hebesphenomegacorona's characters; no disrespect to any of those users, which I know they're around still under some given name; you gave it a good run, and, a lot of times, even made me WORK for those victories), and I managed to win each one without breaking the SB rules, so don't even give me that large sack of crap. Maybe I'm just THAT DAMN GOOD!!! Ever thought about that? Third, I don't fully agree with you there. It's not supposed to be a battle of who's the more creative writer. Skill plays a major role in it, too, which I've shown plenty of in each and every single battle I've taken part in. While I try to be as descriptive and clear of my message as I possibly can in my SBs, I tend to focus more on the complexity of my character's nature than on the use of lame, typical possessives, adjectives, nouns, verbs, and such. It's not that I don't try. I'm a writer myself, and my story that I'm currently writing is, for the most part, fairly understandable and enjoyable at the same time... at least I think so. Regardless, it doesn't even matter if you can only write, not fight. That's what SBing is all about: winning matches and showing off your skill. It's like boxing or wrestling, or any other types of sports for that matter: it's all about SKILL. When I think of creativity, I don't think of writing skills. That's bread and butter compared to the actual RPing part of sim-battling. When I think of creativity, I think of actual skill, and actual SIM-BATTLING talent, not writing talent, which I've noticed some people don't have a lot of, and I'm not trying to pick on them. I'm not the most "graceful" writer out there, either, but that doesn't mean I'm not a good sim-battler, either. And lastly, that "Ultimate Challenge" thing was supposed to be for SKILLED fighters only. I thought I was clear on that in the little disclaimers I put in that thread and most of my other open SB challenges. And by "skilled", I mean people who like to use gratious, over-the-top, uber, godly powerful characters (in short, "state-of-the-art" type characters) that they've taken so much time to build around and develop to become true warriors, which, mind you, I HAVE done for each of my characters, not just decide that they are so powerful without reason. I mean, sure, maybe to SB n00bs it's considered "god modding", but to people who actually have a fuckin' sense of skill (ie: Zerodius; for anyone who feels they are fit to be "contenders", I highly recommend him as your challenger. I've been in many fights with him in the past and, win or lose, he puts up a great fight regardless of which character he uses) and can handle the pressure of taking on a supernaturally tough opponent, it's a "clean as a whistle" type of fight... but to whinners like you (sorry, I just had to say that), to be "skilled" means to "god mod". All of this is beyond your understanding, so I see no reason to get into this. Thank you, I'm done. (edited by Seph2k4 on 02-16-05 10:40 PM) |

| Two things. One, skill IS writing ability. If you want to battle based on YOUR definition of skill, I suggest something like EverQuest or World of Warcraft or Runescape. Two, you forget that the aim of SBing is for both players to have fun. If one player is more skilled than the other, it is not fun. When battling, you should try to adapt your character to the opponent's skill level, or throw in a plot twist that changes the ebb and flow of the fight. I had a battle called Schwa vs Grey vs Dracoon. In this fight, Dracoon and I used the same characters we used in a Story in the Story Forum that he wanted a sequel to. So what did I do? I threw in the plot twist that begat the sequel! It's these kind of things that will earn you respect here. Take it from experience, man. C'mon, I'm telling you exactly how to get my vote. Aren't you listening? Mark my words, if you earn my vote, chances are you'll earn Teddylot's and Silvershield's as well, unless it's a REALLY close match, in which case the phrase "Nobody's perfect" comes to mind. Now enough lecture! You should begin preparing for your next fight, in which I wish you better luck (and skill) than this round. The last thing I'd advise is A) No flaming the judges, and B) No swearing. Anyway, uh, see you later. |

| Sure Schwa ill fight you, and I could definatly learn from it so make it ASAP. I also realize that I need to flesh out my character and stick to it, hopefully by the time of the next fight ill have a perfect idea of my character and everything that goes along with him. | |||

| I'm glad this is over, but just for future reference... He's not breaking any rules. Your styles of roleplaying differ greatly. Seph's involves the strength of the characters he creates, whereas yours involves the strength of the characters in the environment they're given. Both are significant roleplaying styles. You, Schwa, should consider the amount of time Seph spent developing his characters outside battle, adding tweaks to their personality and thinking of quirks that could make them interesting. Having a godlike character is not a bad thing: If you've got a good reason to be strong, then by all means you should exercise that power. Theoretically, I could make every one of my characters into gods among men; I choose not to not because it's wrong, but because I personally don't think it's fun. If Seph thinks having a strong character is fun, then by all means he should fight with his strongest, so that he can have fun. I also didn't see Sion complaining about the strength of Seph's character until after the battle. As he said, rather than take a hit, he fought back stronger, which was a good strategy, IMO. I have a feeling if the battle went for more than nine posts, it would have turned into something extremely interesting. You, Seph, should consider how interesting you can make a fight by prolonging it simply for the purpose of giving the viewer something good to read, or possibly for personal entertainment. Now, this doesn't have to happen, if you have a serious, dramatic style, or if you have a descriptive, fluid style, you can do whatever you want. I like your writing style because it doesn't TRY to be dramatic, or overblown, or over-the-top descriptive, it just ends up that way because of the complexity of your characters. But at the same time, if you feel you've outmatched your foe, use the extra space you're given to develop them further, and then you can have an even more legitimate reason, cross references and such, to be stronger in the future. Battles can be massacres and still be fun. Take a look at Melvin and Toxic. Toxic's character is an old man, completely unsuited for the field of battle, yet Melvin spared him no quarter, and as a result we have an interesting, albeit short, battle that I personally enjoyed reading. Schwa, I also didn't like this particular comment: "I've seen Seph's battle style more than once, and I don't like it. He godmodded in the fight against the DiEm Team (Jarukoth), he tried to start and justify a godmodding spree in the thread "The ULTIMATE Challenge", and he godmodded in this fight as well. Folks, these are examples of what NOT to do in an elite SB. And Seph, I promise you if you don't change this style, you'll never earn my vote in later matches. Creativity is EVRYTHING, also. When I judge it's based mostly on creativity, but also if the player followed the rules of SBing. Keep this in mind." Have your opinions about the way Seph writes if you want, but keep it in PMs and out of the fights that have nothing to do with them. This isn't a warning at all, it's just a heads-up that you should watch what you say and be more polite. Respect within the arena leads to respect for the arena, and vice-versa. It's bad enough that people make fun of this forum, let's not give them things to make fun of us about. Also, on the subject of copying moves, Jarukoth, Sion, Dracoon, and I all have characters that use the same moves, or variations of them. It's like two characters in an RPG having a thunder spell. I fail to see anything wrong with it. Seph, check the name under the SB arena description. You're both good writers, and good battlers, and I commend you for keeping things civil. |

| Ouch. Repremanded by a close friend. One who outranks me at that. Ouch. You're right, Grey... This is like the 3rd time I've gone off. I really don't know what to say. This whole tournament thing, though... It's not BAD, but it's kind of, well, taken too seriously I think. Things like this are why I choose not to play in SB Tournaments. I think it makes the fun too serious. I chose to judge, though, because I wanted to help my friends, so I'll stay true to the end I suppose. Please don't hold this against me. I try. I do my best. But in the end it shows that I'm not really a people-person. What should I say? Sorry? That's the best I can do right now. Okay, enough drama then. You're just doing your job. *walks to dark corner to cool off* |

| Relax, Schwa. No hard feelings, the issue's closed. I don't want any more trouble, so I'd appreciate it if nobody else replied to this, save for Silvershield with his judgement, if he posts them fight-by-fight. |
