Xardius grinned at Vexneah. "Thanks..." His grin dropped. "But if that was the 3rd round, then what's the 4th round? Something even harder?" OOC: Gotta go.
OOC: Wow, good job...now it's my turn. BIC: Xardius walked past Vexneah. "Wonderful," he told her. "The 4th matches are coming up soon, you should heal and rest though." He didn't wait for a reply, stomping off towards the field. He walked forward. No one was in sight. Xardius frowned. What was going on? Suddenly, a man appeared from a dark corridor, dressed in an organization cloak with the hood up. "Who are you?" Xardius asked. The man whisked off his hood, revealing spiky red hair. "Name's Axel. Got it memorized?" "Axel?" Xardius muttered. "These yours?" He summoned Axel's chakrams. Axel laughed. "I'm here to get them back..." Xardius tossed them to Axel. He caught them. "Then prove yourself worthy of them..." Axel laughed, and fire suddenly erupted in geysers in a circle around the arena. Axel leaped forward, throwing his chakrams at Xardius. Xardius flipped over one, and blocked the other. Both returned to Axel's hands. "Burn baby!" Axel yelled, and fire erupted from his hands, covering the chakrams. He slammed them into the ground, and suddenly cinders covered the ground, white hot. Xardius winced as his feet burned under him. Axel leaped at him, slicing at him with the chakrams. Xardius deflected them with Chomper, smashing a return attack at Axel. "Can't you do any better?" Xardius asked, laughing. Axel grinned, and slipped around Chomper, kicking Xardius in the face, and flipping around him. Xardius cursed and rushed at Axel. Fire erupted onto the chakrams again, and Axel threw them at Xardius. Xardius swung, but the chakrams dodged around and smashed into him. He felt himself flying backwards as Axel rained blow after blow on him. Finally, he rushed Xardius and sliced him, smashing him into a wall calling "Get back!" Xardius got up, and snarled. Who does this arrogant bozo think he is? Xardius thought to himself, racing towards Axel again. Axel prepared his weapons, but Xardius used his crystal to sprint impossibly fast, slashing Axel from behind. Axel gritted his teeth, and leaped out of the way of the next blow, flipping behind the wall of fire. "You can't hide, Axel!" Xardius called. Axel didn't wait long. He blew out of the fire wall with fire leading him, ripping into Xardius and blasting him back with a powerful fire wave. Xardius somersaulted to his feet, and shook his head. "Like the heat?" Xardius called, and slammed Chomper into its holdings. Axel cocked his head as Xardius began sucking the fire into himself. The fire wall went out, then the cinders disappeared. Axel gasped in disbelief. Xardius again put up the wall of energy that would protect the others. He raised into the air, glowing with pure energy. Axel leaped at him, intent on stopping him. Xardius simply grabbed Axel, spun around and slammed him into the ground, dropping next to him and unleashing his fury. Fireballs erupted everywhere, smashing into Axel and continuing on. Axel groaned in pain as fire pillars erupted under the ground, ripping into Axel and throwing him sky high, only to be smashed down again by the fireballs. Xardius then began unleashing mega fire waves at Axel, blowing him back further and further until his back was against the wall. Axel gritted his teeth as the flames went out, and Xardius flipped into the air, pulling out Chomper and sending a humongous fire wave at Axel. The fire wave hit Axel and when it dissipated, Axel was slumped against the wall, breathing heavily. "You're good," Axel whispered. "Better than me. You deserve these more..." He tossed the chakrams to Xardius. "You win..." Darkness swirled up and Axel disappeared. Xardius sighed, and dispersed the chakrams. He walked slowly off the field, feeling uneasy. OOC: There you go, there's my Axel battle. See you Lunar!
OOC: Well, when you decide, let me know...and I don't think everyone's expecting you to fight him, I just put it down as what I thought you would want to fight. By the way, hidden_light, could you PM me what Bellatrix is most insecure about? Thanks. EDIT: Thanks a ton.
OOC: Yeah, we'll see you later. You're fighting Xenmas, right 13th?
OOC: Me too. I've got too make sure I don't make this too easy for myself...My brother told me the other day that my character was too invincible...I told him that's just the way he was. You fight for 7 centuries straight with armor that can't be penetrated and you see how you act...
OOC: I thought Chris was going to go next against his Anti form...but if he doesn't post within the next 5 minutes, someone could fight their 3rd round...
Like I said, as long as you can get your enemies' patterns down, these challenges won't seem so hard anymore... By the way, I'm going to post my own little challenges for the mini-games around (starting with Twilight Town)... Challenge #1: Mail Delivery Complete within 8 seconds. This should be pretty easy, only taking you a couple of tries. My time = 7"89. Challenge #2: Cargo Climb Complete within 10 seconds. This is hard. Took me forever, but I finally did it. HINT: You need Fenrir and Negative Combo. My time: 9"36. Challenge #3: The Ball Thing which I don't remember the name of Complete with maximum number of hits. This is so insanely boring it's not even funny. But it shouldn't be too hard. I kept getting bored and forgetting to press the X button, so I've gotten to around 650 hits. My advice to make the time go faster is to use Star Seeker, equip both Air Combo Pluses, and then you'll have 6 hits instead of 3. Or you could equip Berserk Mode and heal, then smack into the air and hit it constantly until your MP recharges and then you can heal again and start smacking again (doing this in midair is really hard and I kept dropping it but I got to like 118 hits every time I did this at the beginning. If you can do it successively, it should take you a lot less time than normal...) By the way, the max is 9999 hits. And that's all I've done so far, so...
My favorite part was when Terra got creamed by that rising cliff lol. Seriously, though, I thought that Aqua was pretty quick-thinking when she cast Reflega on Terra and then the keyblades exploded.
The secret movie probably does take place in the past, but I do think it's Mickey, just while he was still in training with Yen Sid. That's why he has the Star Seeker.
The good thing is, the Offense Mode doesn't say you have to fight Sephiroth in it, and fighting Sephiroth without magic, etc. is extremely tough, but you can be any level to do it in. So, you can pump yourself up with Power Boosts and stuff, and cream him that way. Of course, I don't expect everyone to really do all of these. There are a couple I don't want to do...
OOC: Edited in the fights and stuff. Vayne third form is fine... BIC: "Nice show, Varxus," Xardius said as Varxus came back from the field.
For the 0 hits, it is insanely hard, but not impossible. Most people, I find, always think offensively in a battle. However, there is another way of doing things: the way I called defense. First, you figure out all of your opponents. In the Journal, it will tell you a good way to defeat them. Next, do not attack. The enemies will attack you, but do not attack them. Dodge their attacks, and wait for an opening. Third, magic is one of your best options for killing opponents. Get far away and blast them with blizzard or thunder magic. If they get close, hit them with fire. Besides magic, you can use open attacks. However, after a combo move, you are left open for a split second that is usually when you are hit. Single out an opponent, lure them away from the pack, and combo them ONCE if you have time. If not, hit them as many times as you can, and then run away. This is extremely time-consuming, but it does work if you can keep track of all your opponents and not let them swarm you. And Sephiroth...well I'm not even going to go there. Kingdom Hearts is all about patterns. OK, I'll go there. We all know Sephiroth's attacks, but several wonderful ways to counter them. Guarding works well, and I mean, REALLY well. If he's doing his ground move at you, then guarding and counterattacking will knock him out and into one of your combos. Plus, if he knocks you into the air, wait till you hear him warp into the air before pressing square to counter attack. Hi-Potions (w/Item Boost attached) are very good when you are out of MP, and Elixirs work wonders afterwards. His Heartless Angel attacks, I find, can only be countered with High Jump and Aerial Spin, so leveling up your Drive Forms beforehand would probably work best (Valor and Master). Plus to dodge his attacks, you can use the Wisdom form ability (don't remember the name). I would have tried the Sephiroth challenge, but I'm already way past it, so I can't tell you how it works out. If it's too impossible, I'll just make a level limit.
OOC: Makes a better fight in my opinion, but if Varxus doesn't want to fight Demyx, all he has to do is say so.
OOC: Go ahead and start posting whenever. Plus, will you PM me and tell me what Chris is most insecure about (preferably a person, but a place is fine)... This will help for something me and Wing are cooking up. Anyone else who comes online will most likely be PMed by me and be asked the same question. If you don't get one, PM me anyway and tell me please... I need answers from everyone in the Zeus Cup... EDIT: By the way Xane, you can fight Xigbar if you want. Varxus, going from the fact you have Demyx all over your sig, do you want to fight him?
Just so you all know: This is for Proud Mode, because otherwise it's not very challenging... And things that you have to go through (like the fights at the beginning of the game or Xenmas leeching off your health at the end) do not count towards the challenges, as there is no way to avoid them. No Summoning isn't all that hard of a challenge, unless you're trying to the Titan Paradox Cup and meet the point goal...then it's hard. I'm working on the 99 Challenge right now...
OOC: All right everybody nice job. Sorry about the aliens, but I was insanely bored... Anyhow, here are the latest standings updated and everything (we can probably start fighting 3rd Match rounds now: which means Organization XIII)... 1st Matches: Kyzar vs. Volcanic Lord = Kyzar wins (fire vs. lightning) Vexneah vs. Ground Shaker = Vexneah wins (freeze moron) Xardius vs. Fire Titan = Xardius wins (like the heat) Darxess vs. Darkside = Darxess wins (orb happy) Xane vs. Hydra = Xane wins (jump on its back) Nulix vs. Dark Thorn = Nulix wins (dusty) Bellatrix vs. Grim Reaper = Bellatrix wins (oblivionated) Wing vs. Storm Rider = Wing wins (show off) Coa vs. Anti-Coa = Coa wins (dispersed) Noxas vs. Cerberus = Noxas wins (bad puppy) Geryl vs. Prison Keeper = Geryl wins (chomp this) Hack vs. Kurt Zisa = Hack wins (hacked up) Varxus vs. Hostile Program = Varxus wins (frozen flames) Chris vs. Anti-Chris = YTB Anyone else... 2nd Matches: Vexneah vs. Red XIII = Vexneah wins (steamy) Xardius vs. Hercules = Xardius wins (pulverized) Darxess vs. Sephiroth = Darxess wins (heartless angels and flying meteors) Xane vs. Cid = Xane wins (old guy sumo wrestling) Bellatrix vs. Yuffie = Bellatrix wins (ninja style) Noxas vs. Cloud = Noxas wins (quick blade) Kyzar vs. Irvine = Kyzar wins (bad date) Wing vs. Vann = Wing wins (he got cut though) Coa vs. Ashe = Coa wins (twilit mage) Hack vs. Seymour = Hack wins (cracked mask) Geryl vs. Barret = YTB Nulix vs. YTB = YTB Varxus vs. YTB = YTB Chris vs. YTB = YTB 3rd Matches: Kyzar vs. Larxene = YTB Vexneah vs. Vexen = YTB Xardius vs. Axel = YTB Noxas vs. Roxas = YTB Darxess vs. Xenmas = YTB Hack vs. Marluxia = YTB Geryl vs. Luxord = YTB Wing vs. Xaldin = YTB Coa vs. Lexaeus = YTB Nulix vs. Saix = YTB Varxus vs. Demyx = YTB Xane vs. Xigbar = YTB Everyone else can decide between the rest...All 13 members have to be fought, but you can fight a member more than once, if you can give them different moves and such. Anyway, thanks again Vexneah for the pic. That's pretty darn close to Xardius (except for the sword, which I have a drawn picture of, but I'm not sure how to upload onto the forums...)
Thanks a lot, that looks great.
Xardius, unhappy at being buried underneath slimy artichokes, summoned flames. Instantly, the aliens withered and died. Standing up, he fell down again as the big ship opened fire on the smaller ship. OOC: Where are you O13?
OOC: Sorry...save us from aliens please. BIC: "Well," Xardius said, "the ship's falling, probably because there's too much weight in it now. I'm carrying about 350 lbs of armor and weapons on me...and these guys..." He picked one up. "Weight about 2.5 lbs each, I'd guess." The alien shrieked in terror. Xardius frowned. "Shut up," he said and threw it out a window. The alien expanded and floated down to the ground gently like a big leaf. Xardius shook his head, then snorted as a giant pig began eating it. The alien started shrieking and then fell over and turned brown. Suddenly, about 500,000,000,000 of the aliens surrounded them. "Huh?" Xardius said. One of the aliens pointed out the window. A massive gigantic enormous (get the picture?) ship hung out the window, holding the smaller ship in a tractor beam, and aliens were sliding down a line and through a window into the smaller ship. "Huh?" Xardius said again, before getting dog-piled.
OOC: Good enough. BIC: The green aliens reached their green slimy hands toward Vexneah. Suddenly, their ship lurched and the green aliens all fell over. They began buzzing excitedly in some kind of green vegetable language. Thumps resounded on the hull, suddenly a gauntleted fist smashed through the roof, and the aliens all began running around. Xardius slammed down into the ship. "Mind if I drop in?" he asked, looking around at all the crazy green vegetables.
