JAIF

This is a special attraction, a fight between the four most recent tournament winners - Arros, BI, Nikushimi and Eragon (I won't participate) - to determine who deserves to be called the best in all of MFG. If you are asking yourselves 'And wtf does this have to do with me?', then rest assured, this has a lot to do with you. But I won't reveal it just yet.

While this fight is for these four, at any point during and even before the fight, you are free to post in this thread (the battle will take place in another topic), declaring your support towards one or more contestants, sharing your opinion on what they need to improve, discussing their performance etc. Don't forget - this is still a tournament fight, and the victor will be decided by you.

=============

For millenia, amongst countless worlds, from endless fighters, the most powerful of each generation were challenged in the ultimate test of their battle prowess, the Tenka'ichi Budokai. Thousands swarmed in these tournaments, hoping to be recognized as the strongest, the fittest in the universe, only to have their dreams crushed and broken by those few, the elite of the elite, who, after countless of deathly struggles, managed to ascend to the top, and be crowned the winners of the Tenka'ichi Budokai.

Amongst their peers, they were revered as champions - amongst the common folk, worshipped like Gods.

And now, by the hand of destiny itself, even from beneath their final resting places, these Gods are brought together, assembled in an event like no other, to find out who truly deserves the title of the strongest warrior throughout eternity.

The place that would bear witness to this clash has no name. One could soar through the emptiness of the vast multiverse using the fastest means of transportation invented, and he could search for millenia, but still he would never stumble across the stage that would house the epic struggle between the titans.

This arena, located in a hole in the space-time continuum, was positioned on an otherwise empty floating chunk of land. The stadium itself was a massive colliseum designed to house thousands upon thousands of spectators, but that was completely empty - for now. The arena's size reminded one more of a small village than a battle stadium. The sturdy, solid black rock that composed the floor ensured the fighters a steady footing, but, even though nothing bizzare was to be seen, an experienced fighter could instantly feel that this arena was full of surprises for the unprepared.

But those who had arrived here were not unprepared. They were four of the mightiest warriors the world had ever known, and now they were risking literally everything in a fight to claim the ultimate prize - the power of a true God.

=============

So basically, this is your arena. Once you pick your characters, you are free to Roleplay here for a while - but there isn't much to do except interact with each other until the fight kicks in. Speaking of which, aside from what we've discussed in PMs, I have a few surprises planned for you as to the form and nature of your fight.

Win this, and you will become Gods - the practical significance of this victory will not be revealed until later on, though.

=============

Rules so far (more to come once the battle starts):

1) You can be any character you want. It is you who is tested, not your characters that won the respective tournament - so your 'Avatar' in this fight can be anyone.

2) Do not engage in any form of battle until the fight starts. Any other action - within logic, of course; do not forget you are on a floating island devoid of life - is allowed.

3) You are brought here as the elite of the elite, and even outside the battle, you are expected to show that level of skill. Do not disappoint.

4) Most importantly, enjoy yourselves.
