DEATH BATTLE IDEA: Kefka Palazzo vs Ganondorf
11 years ago
While waiting for the Robocop vs Terminator fight to finally make its appearance on ScrewAttack, I've submitted a new Death Battle idea that I personally think would be quite clever! The God of Magic, Kefka, vs the King of Evil, Ganondorf.
Originally I was thinking back on the old Death Battle of Link vs. Cloud and thought about the opposite match-up, Ganondorf vs Sephiroth, but something about the pairing seemed off, but then while thinking of other Final Fantasy villains I realized that Kefka and Ganondorf have quite a lot in common, but also quite a number of differences. Both are omnicidal, power-hungry maniacs looking to rule their respective worlds, both came from positions of lesser power and rose above their rulers, usurping power and ruling with a destructive iron fist. Both also gained their ill-gotten power from a trio of gods (the Warring Triad/the Triforce), but ravaged the land, commuting acts of mass homicide and destruction towards their ultimate goals, and even afterwards, not to mention both have access to their powerful final forms (God of Magic/Ganon).
At the same time, their personalities are completely different, Kefka is delightfully insane and unpredictable, but in the recesses of his mad mind he's a tactical genius, he acts off faking cowardice, running away and growing stronger, and confusion. Ganondorf on the other hand is cold and ruthless, powerful but sadly predictable in his movements and attacks, his power is so immense, that he doesn't feel the need to hide his moves, making them easily telegraphed, but still immensely dangerous. In the end, this match-up also challenges the both of them because they have never faced one like the other, Kefka has never faced someone so ruthless and brutal as Ganondorf, and Ganondorf has never faced anyone as dancing mad and confusing as Kefka.
Kefka Palazzo
* Original Magitek Solider prototype, although the imperfect procedure caused him to lose his mind. Infused with raw magical power, further augmented by the souls of Espers and the power of the Warring Triad.
* Cunning and ruthless, has no qualms about killing, even when it is not needed, he revels in destruction.
* Immune to poison, all status effects, and mind control.
* Singlehandedly faced an army of Espers without a scratch.
* Has access to the most powerful elemental and non-elemental spells in his world, including several of his own creation, no access to Holy spells, however.
* Able to hover, and can fly while in his God of Magic form.
* Has no special resistance to magic or physical attacks, but also no glaring weakness to them either.
* Able to wear robes, and wield maces, wands, staves, and musical instruments.
* God of Magic form
** Access to the most powerful spells as well as the powerful physical attack, Havoc Wing, and his ultimate attack, Light of Judgement, which is strong enough to even split continents apart.
** DokiDoki Magic, a state in which his already powerful and confusing magic becomes even more wild and unpredictable.
** The living essence of all magic in his world.
Ganondorf
* King of the Gerudo, leader of an army of the female only race of Gerudo, trained in their combat styles and by his personal caretakers, the witches Kotake and Koume. Strength is further augmented by the Triforce of Power.
* Brutal and ruthless, although his acts of violence are much more calculated towards his end goals, and will snuff out any sign of resistance with extreme prejudice.
* Immune or highly resistant to fire and ice, can be stunned and harmed by powerful attacks but is resistant to them. Weakpoint is a glowing wound/scar on his chest.
* Has access to powerful attacks and magicks, even spells of light. However his attacks are slow and predictable, can be dodged and some, even countered. Also able to turn invisible and teleport at will.
* Able to hover, but not an experienced flyer.
* Is highly weak to weapons and magicks of holy origin.
* Armor unknown but able to wield several power weapons, including the long sword, double swords, bastard sword, and trident.
* Ganon form.
** Drastic increase in his size, strength, and magick power.
** Able to turn into a wild beastial form, as well as a more combat-oriented humanoid boar form.
** Very hard to kill in this form, usually needs to be banished for any sort of short-term victory, but is not immortal. Has only shown weak to holy weapons (Master Sword, Silver Arrows, Arrows of Light) in this form.
