Now we're doing hashtags? lol

I'm gonna place my bet on the unicorn stud #Inorog

Hashtags makes it easy to count votes by searching the document for the number of mentions without counting fight deductions or descriptions.

Clever!

#Emet

#Emet

Even though Emet doesn't do as much damage as Inorog, he has more defensive capabilities and more health. Inorog is kind of a glass cannon since he can deal more damage but doesn't have much helping him in the way of defensive capabilities. Especially since none of Emet's abilities deal damage to hi and therefore he can't take of advantage of Evasion's damage reduction. Not only that, but because they have the same speed, they both have an equal chance of dodging each others' attacks.

Because Inorog is all offense while Emet, despite having the weaker offense, has the stronger defensive capabilities, I feel that it gives Emet the edge, and it also gives him my vote.

#Emet

Plus that damage buff emet has for a short period gaining an 59.5 damage thanks to high health

I have crunched the numbers and with the modifier, Inorog wins. Emet only outpaces him in damage in the rounds he uses rampage, and its not enough to put Inorog down.

#Inorog

He also outpaces him in rounds where his golden armor is up, but thats 5 rounds only, and that isn't enough to beat him, especially with Inorog gaining back health every turn. 10% for him his 40 health, and Emet only does 15 a round after Rampage ends, vs Inorog's 27. Being my Fight Analysis.

Current Health/Max Health/Current Mana

I ran a few, though the most even calculation would be this, though with Golden armor triggering in round 8. It delays things by another round but with the same conclusion save a few points of health.

My natural bias towards all things scalie causes me to initially want to just say Emet and leave it at that, but the fight is a bit more complicated than that.

Emet seems to be a bit of a snowball champion, to be honest. Compared to Inorog, their speeds are equal, he has a good deal more health than the unicorn, but Inorog hits harder. Rampage allows him to pump up his attack well beyond Inorog's at the cost of over half of his mana, which would activate the Boxing Ring and cause him to heal. This would greatly aid him in staying ahead of Inorog's damage in terms of health. He can also utilize Golem Armor to reduce Inorog's damage down to near nothing for a few turns, which will probably lead to him gaining the effects of the Boxing Ring as well. Combined with his passive health increase, I could see this leading to a very long match if Inorog doesn't utilize his abilities intelligently.
Inorog, compared to Emet, hits almost twice as hard on his own. Whether this holds up compared to Emet's increased health, we would have to see. In a slug fest, it would take Emet 27 turns to burn through Inorog's health while it would take Inorog a total of 22 turns to deplete Emet's HP. This is without the useage of any abilities. The real kicker comes in terms of Inorog's abilities. Rend only takes a fourth of Inorog's mana in order to deal 108 damage every turn for 6 turns. Unless a champion has over 648, this guarantees that Rend is a fatal ability (not implying that the opponent dies, just that it will knock them out, apologies for any confusion). This is further amplified by Execute, which causes it to tick for 216 a turn, starting on turn 2 (Execute has an extra little punch to it, but that really doesn't seem worthwhile compared to 216 a turn). This combination is absolutely ridiculous, although Emet's abilities will mitigate it. Unfortunately, if Emet dedicates all of his mana to the 90% damage reduction shield, this only gives him four turns of protection compared to the maximum of 24 rounds that Inorog can impose his bleed.
If Emet had a much larger mana pool, I could see this as a PVP match between a tank and a DPS. However, Emet really only has a few good defensives that he can use before he's down to just being able to punch Inorog in the face over and over. Meanwhile, Inorog only has to use Rend once and then wait things out for a few turns. Even if Emet dedicates his mana to Rampage (which he can only use ONCE), then he is still only dealing a maximum of 222 damage to Inorog's 400 HP.
A lot of this comes down to how often mana regenerates, if at all. If it regenerates every turn, I would say that Emet can outlast Inorog and I will change my vote. However, if it's gone for good once it's spent, as I'm assuming it is, I'm going to have to go with #Inorog as much as my favorite wolf is going to hate me for siding against the scalie...

All this being said, Emet is still sexy as fuck and if he doesn't hate me for voting against him, I will be more than happy to entertain a dragon golem. *runs away*

Just to clarify, Mana does not regenerate without Abilities.

Then my vote stands. XP As for any sort of outcome writing, do we wait to see a winner or just write something?

The comment contest winners are declared after the match ends!

I completely misread Rend. I am aware of it. #WorkSucks & #TiredDragonisTired. I may rewrite and rethink a little later.

Fight Analysis:

Emet has an advantage on abilities since Inorog’s passive ability won’t come into play during the fight since all of Emet’s abilities are self-boosting stats that don’t directly harm the opponent. Inorog’s advantage is that he starts first. Even though they’re speeds are equal, guy on the left starts firs in case of a tie. Inorog needs to use Rend at least once for the damage that come from bleeding, meaning he can only Execute once. That leaves him with one extra Rend to use to refresh the bleed effect. It also means that in order to maximize efficiency of the bleed effect, Inorog would have to use Rend followed by Execute. Given how much health Emet has and how much damage he can do, Inorog needs to start bleeding ASAP. So Inorog would have to start with Rend and then Execute in the second round. After that, he can only make regular attacks for the rest of the fight while saving a Rend for later. So the question is, can Inorog’s bleed effect be enough to beat Emet before Emet beats Inorog? Inorog’s bleed deals 4x damage (108) over 6 rounds, which means it deals 18 damage per round. Execute doubles that to 36 per round, along with 40.5 points of damage from the actual attack.

Emet can use each ability once. Using Golem Armor twice would be stupid, as it would only leave him with his regular attack, which would take over 30 rounds to beat Inorog (don’t need to be a mathematician to know Inorog would have him beat before that). Rampage is his best way of dealing damage, but given the time limit on the ability he needs to use it carefully. He also needs to use Golem Armor, or else the amount of damage Inorog stacks up would beat him quicker than he could beat Ironrog. To be efficient with Golem Armor’s damage reduction, he needs that to be in effect on the round that Inorog uses Execute (round 2). This means he can’t use Rampage in the first round. Because Emet is slower, that means he has to armor up on the first round to prepare for the Execute otherwise he loses a round of attacking with it because of his need to armor up on the second round. So here’s how the ideal scenario would play out:

Round 1: Inorog uses Rend; Emet uses Golem Armor. Inorog damage 0; Emet damage 1.8 from bleed (90% reduction due to armor, no healing)

Round 2: Inorog uses Execute; Emet activates Rampage. Inorog damage 0; Emet damage 9.45 (4.05 + 3.6 from bleed, armor is gone at the end of the round)

Round 3: Inorog uses a regular attack; Emet attacks with a boost from rampage (15 + 59.5). Inorog damage 74.5; Emet damage 12.95 (hardest hitter with recovers 10% of health which is 59.5; 9.45 + 27 + 36 bleed – 59.5 = 12.95)

Round 4: Inorog attack regularly again; Emet attacks again with boosted damage (last turn for Rampage). Inorog damage 164; Emet damage 16.45 (once again, he recovers for being highest hitter)



Round 5: Both players can only deal damage regularly now (save for Inorog’s extra Rend). At this point the winner has been decided. Inorog is officially the hardest hitter with 27 over Emet’s 15. And since Inorog can recover 40 health per round for being the hardest hitter, it’s impossible for Emet to damage him further. Inorog can keep chipping away until Emet loses and Emet has no way of countering that or increasing his damage output at this point. Inorog wins.


Fight description:

Inorog looked towards his opponent, the golem-dragon Emet. This was quite an interesting match for him. Inorog had “fought” (though he preferred the term “slaughtered”) a variety of opponents over the years as a gladiator and mercenary, but he had never faced a golem before. One more thing to cross off his bucket list. Readying his battle axe, he eagerly waited for the fight to begin.

Emet was unsure what to think of his opponent. He too had faced many enemies since his creation. Many were just cocky thugs who thought they were stronger than they actually were, and Emet gladly gave them lessons in humility. Inorog looked very similar to those bullies he faced with the same smug look, as if Inorog had won before the match had even started. What was troubling Emet was that he wasn’t sure if that smug look was a bluff or not.

I don’t think he would’ve gotten this far if he was just a common thug, Emet thought. Better play it safe and test his skills first before doing anything too complicated.

The loud buzz from the speakers signaled the match to begin. Inorog began channeling mana into his battle axe and charged at Emet with an overhead swing. Emet blocked the axe with his right arm, creating a loud clang upon impact. While the force of the axe was stronger than Emet anticipated, it still didn’t do any visible damage to his hardened golem body. Emet countered with a swift kick in Inorog’s chest, sending him stumbling back.

Guess I didn’t have much to worry about after all, Emet thought. I’ve already gotten a solid hit on him and even his axe didn’t do any—why is he smiling?

It was at this point that Emet felt it. His entire body suddenly felt weaker, and it was growing weaker by the second. The mana Inorog had channeled into his axe had begun its work the second the axe made contact with Emet’s arm. His enemy now weakened, Inorog channeled an even larger amount of mana into his axe and lunged at Emet. The axe was visibly glowing with power, and in his weakened state Emet had no chance of dodging it. Quickly channeling his mana throughout his entire body, he hardened himself with magical armor as the axe swung diagonally at his left shoulder. Much like before, the axe clanged onto Emet’s shoulder but still did no damage. Inorog’s confident smile faltered a bit. No one had ever endured that attack like Emet just did. Emet, feeling his stamina draining, knew he had to end this quickly. Channeling the rest of his mana to strengthen his body further, he struck back at Inorog.

Emet win: This was it, all or nothing. The last of his energy would be spent in the next flurry of attacks. Emet gave a strong uppercut to Inorog’s chin, sending him flying backwards and landing on his back. Inorog’s battle axe flew out of his hand upon hitting the ground. Emet didn’t waste any time and jumped onto Inorog. Emet straddled his chest and started raining blows onto his opponent. Inorog, still dazed after the uppercut and his signature axe now gone, did his best to block the strikes to his face to no avail. The sheer ferocity and speed of the blows were too much for him to handle. After about 15 seconds of Emet’s furious punching, Inorog’s body fell limp. Emet shakily stood up as he looked at the unconscious body of his beaten foe. The first round of the tournament and he won. Barely standing as the speakers declared him the victor, Emet had a feeling things were only going to get tougher in the upcoming matches.

Inorog win: Emet’s fist swung upwards, hitting Inorog on the chin and sent him flying backwards onto the floor. Lying on his back, he saw Emet charge with another punch coming down at him. Inorog quickly rolled out of the way and back onto his feet. Emet’s fist cracked the floor, his current position leaving him wide open for a counterattack. Inorog kicked Emet in the face and sent him tumbling across the arena floor. That surprised Inorog, given how Emet shaked off his previous attacks with ease. That meant the draining effect from his magical axe strikes were starting to take their toll. Inorog needed to keep up the pressure. Raising his axe, he lunged forward with another overhead strike. Emet dodged and went for another swipe. Inorog noticed Emet’s attack being significantly slower then previously, and easily dodged out of the way. Emet unleashed a series of strikes at Inorog. But each swipe was slower and more easily dodged than the last. Inorog delivered a counterpunch with his left fist that forced Emet onto the floor again. Emet was on his hands and knees, desperately trying but unable to stand. Inorog grinned as he savored his final blow. He swung his axe upwards against Emet’s chin, sending Emet sprawling to the floor on his back. Emet lay unconscious as the speakers declared Inorog the victor. Inorog held up his axe above his head, a sign of both victory and warning to everyone watching. It was a great fight, and Inorog had a feeling things were only going to get tougher in the upcoming matches. The challenge excited him.

Inorog will gain mana back though, so he can use Execute again with the second Rend. Though its kind of irrelevant because he would still win.

I don't think Inorog actually can gain back mana, if I'm reading it right. Emet's abilities are all self-boosting stats that don't directly damage Inorog, so the Evasion ability can't come into effect. But like you said, it doesn't matter either way.

I asked the question and it would in fact restore his mana. Evasion is for any ability used, not just ones targeting him. Though the damage isn't reduced by it since it is a buff and not direct damage.

This was something i was trying to figure out while building myself for the tourny too, but figured becuase of the way its worded, any active abilities used will trigger evasion to regen mana.

Yeah, thats what he told me. Evasion wouldn't stop damage from Rampage, but it would still syphon the mana from it and any ability.

#Emet

#Emet - based on stats and abilities, he may be a weaker fighter but he has some nice buffs.

#Inorog

#Emet <3

#Emet!

Bias. :P

Dude, shh.

I fight #emet :)

#Inorog

The fact the bleed can gradually increase in severity each time execute is used means he only needs to hit lethal levels before just using evasion the rest of the match

#Inorog

The Unicorn would win hands down, based on his stats, abilities and the area bonus, in my opinion.

#Inorog

he seems he has a great move and setup

Oh boo, all that work and math and I completely forgot the ring bonus. Oh well XD

Neat. I did a sim beforehand of the base stats and had Inorog winning in the 13th round.

I vote for #Emet

#Emet

#Inorog

#Inorog

#Inorog

#Inorog

#emet

#Inorog

taking into account of Inorog stats an abilities along with the rings bonus while Emet does have more health an defense but Inorg speed, mana recovery an higher atk leave him to hit harder an use abilities.
As i see it inorg would try an use rend an excute right right away as seeing his opponent is pretty sturdy looking he will try to get a hit or two in first so even if emet uses golem armor he still take the bleed damage from it leading to more stacked up damage. Not to say Emet wont do more damage but due to his 11 mana an only having defensive abliitys he just rely on his attacks for first 2 rounds but after he would have to pick between golem armor or rampage as wont have enough mana to do both.

So fight would have Ionrog doing less damage for first 2 rounds an then 3rd an 4th but he still would be dealing good chunk each round an so by the 5th round he be low but Emet wouldn't be to far behind so in the following rounds we would have Inorog slowly recovering while hitting harder. Emet would put up good fight but in the end he put up against someone who he had slight disadvantage against that was evened out with the boxing ring giving him health back for at least 5 rounds depending on which ablity he used in round 3 as Emet would try to save his mana since he would know he could only use 2 in the fight.

because he just hits to hard for this stone warrior to survive

#Emet

#Inrog

Emet's abilities don't actually do damage, so I don't believe that Inrog's Evasion will come into play.

From there, Golem Armor will be able to reduce the damage from inrog, and his bleed if it is timed right, and with the damage buff he gets from his Rampage, he can be guaranteed 5 rounds of 'doing the most damage' for 50% bonus effective health.

But, thanks to the boxing ring constantly healing the hardest hitter of the round (And assuming that its one attack per round for people of equal speed), and Emet not being able to out damage the healing that Inrog will receive on the 5 rounds that Emet doesn't have his abilities up, he won't be able to capitalize on the lead.

Inorog, not Inrog. I don't mean to be the spelling police, but votes are tallied by search, so unless you have it spelled correctly, it may not be counted.

#Inorog

Thank you. I can't edit my post, but with me putting it here, it should still visibly only be one post. Thanks for that!

Inorog

Gotta post with a hashtag in front of his name or the vote won't be counted.

#Emet

I have to go with defense here. Inorog may have better damage. Emet out class or matching him in everything else. Inorog best power in this fight is his bleed damage and that's if he land a hit. Inorog and Emet have the same speed. Mean its a coin toss if Inorog hits or not. And Emet has damage reduction that he can use twice as long as he can evade and counter Inorog and use his defense wisely the Emet should win.

BING!!!!

“And that's the bell foke the match has begun!!!” Jeremy said over the mike in with enthusiasm. “And there circling each other.”

Rround 1

Inorog and Emet circled each other sizing each other up. Both had there fist at the ready waiting for the other to make a move. Inorog being the attacker he made the first move. He went in with a punch. Emet block. But Inorog used the momentum to flip forward kicking Emet in the face. Dealing him 27 damage.

Emet HP dropped to 568.

But Emet turn to bash Inorog back with his tail. Doing 15 damage

Inorog HP dropped to 389.

Both feeling that Inorog was more powerful on offense. He smiled think this would be an easy when. He went on the all out attack while Emet choice to count and parry. Then went on like that for the rest of the first round.

Emet took 2 more hits. Leaving 514

Inorog took another 4. Leaving him at 325 HP

The pair ended the round taking nearly even amounts of damage. But Inorog noticed that he would need to do something in order to break the stalemate which would end in his loss as he sat in his corner seeing the his opponete had broken a sweat yet.

Inorog gains 33 HP.

Round 2

It began with a bing a again. Inorog thought that Emet had some kind of hind ability that most be helping him reduce the damage of his blows or increase his HP or his. So at the beginning of this round Inorog used Rend it made his hands glow red. He began to swip and slash at Emet. Emet not want any part of that put all his effort into avoiding Inorog. Both evenly matched in speed Inorog couldn't get at Emet. Both combance took no damage this round.

Round 3

Inorog use his Rend again. This time tagging Emet with a slashing flip for 27 damage.

Emet HP fell to 487.

Emet then used his Golem armor. It made his body shine silver for a moment reducing his bleed rate. Inorog did see this as he turned to see Emet grabbing his neck. Knowing the fight would be over soon enough Inorog used the rest of his mana to use Execute. Inorog jumped into the air. But Emet used on of his wings to bash Inorog into a corner of the ring as he had a red aura. Inorog took 15 damage from Emet and 2 damage from the fall.

Inorog HP fell to 341.

Emet pressed his attack knowing his armor wouldn't last forever. He began to bet on Inorog. Inorog did his best to block himself. But the assult was too much. Emet got in 10 good shots. 3 of them landed on Inorog's right rib cage making on crack. Inorog took 150 damage from Emet plus 10 damage from the rib fraction.

At the end of the round. Emet took 11 point of bleed damage.

Emet HP fell to 476 but he gained back 48 points. Leaving him at 524 HP.

Inorog HP fell to 171. Do to his cracked rib he gain the Pain status effect.

Pain reduced speed by 2 point for 3 rounds.

Round 4

This time Emet was on the attack but he appoarched carefully he throw a few blows. Inorog was able to block 2 of them but the third got through smacking him in the jaw. The Emet got him in the ribs again.

Inorog took 30 damaga form Emet plus a 10 point damage bonus do to weakpoint damage.

Inorog HP fell to 131.

Inorog tried to fight back but he wasn't fasten enough to land a hit do to the Pain stat. Emet just hit him another 3 time.

Inorog HP dropped to 86.

At the end of the round. Emet took 11 point of bleed damage. Emet Golem Armor faded.

Emet HP fell to 513 but he gained back 51 points. Leaving him at 564 HP.

Round 5

Emet used another Golem Armor just in case causing a silver flash. It didn't matter as Inorog was on his last legs. Emet moved in as Inorog protected himself as best he could. Inorog block and parried, But he was slower and wasn't as good at defense as offense. Emet felt more than a few hit connect It did take only for Inorog to fall to the mat passed out.

#Emet

#Emet

The way I see it is that would you wanna horse dong or dragon dong, although I would like to see Dragon I wanna see how farm Emet can go in the tourney

#Emet

Based on the stats, and the arena bonus...#Inorog

He'll end up having more mana then the golem dragon, and can use his abilities more often. The golem -has- to use abilities, or Inorog would win based solely on the arena's buff and his higher base damage. I could be wrong, though, Rampage is a pretty strong ability, and it would depend on if Evasion kicks in on it since it's an attack steroid rather then a direct damage ability.

#Emet

#Inorog

#Emet

I like Inorog more, but the matchup is pretty skewed in Emet's favor.

#Emet

#Emet

#Emet

#Inorog

I feel his abilities to place bleeds that will grow stronger will be what enables him to win. Emet can grow really tanky or turn around to do sudden burst damage, but unless he "pops all cooldowns" to burst at the start. The Boxing Ring's ability will let Inorog who does more damage at first keep his health topped up, and then later game his bleeds will keep him top of the damage dealing to keep his heals coming. Furthermore as Emet uses his abilities to go OOM, Inorog will be able to use that mana to further his bleeding might. In my opinion it's sustained damage vs burst damage, and the ring's ability likes someone who can do sustained damage more. Inorog has to survive the burst, and then have a comeback.

Great to see the tourny kicking off. Loving the look of this new format, now only issue i see here is there may be some confusion of what triggers some effects, in the case the Evasion effect and if it props just off damaging abilities by the apposing fighter or off Any ability trigger even if it dont damage.
However clarification in rules can be cleared up next round perhaps that i may chip in a note to you, but for the mean time, From fighter to fighter analyzing my opponent, best that i give my verdict.


Game one i see we have the battle of Tank vs DPS.
While Emet holds superior defensive abilities and can burst damage hard over a few rounds, or shield up to take near no damage. Those abilities are effectively on a timer due to no way to regenerate Mana, and once they have been expended, his low base damage output may not be enough to follow though. For the round he does trigger his Rampage ability he is likly to win the Boxing Ring's arena trigger of regening more heath, adding more to his buffer tank.
Inorog holds great damage output combined with over time bleed effect that will keep picking away at the substantial health of the dragon. This combined with the both active ability to regen mana off some of the expensive mana cost abilities of Emet and mitigate the burst damage would add more fuel to the somewhat cheap yet effective Damage over Time abilities Inorog holds and adds some maneuverability from the otherwise potentially devastating damage burst combined with overall higher base DPS (that will then trigger the Boxing Ring's arena ability to regen health) will cause me to push the battle favor in the direction of:

#Inorog

#EMET

I have to go with #Inorog. Emet may be more defensive, but Inorog's attacks are just too devastating.

#Inorog

Better and smarter people have mathammered it out. My first instinct was 'how does bleed effect a golem?' but then I noticed '...made flesh' ...so that thought went out the window.

Since they're at the same speed, Inorog moves first according to the rules.

First round:
Inorog will use execute to maximize damage output and take advantage of his passive "Evasion"
As for Emet, the smartest move would be just a simple attack and not use any his abilities due to his incapability to regen mana.
<Stats>
Inorog:
Health ~ 400+40(from the "Boxing Ring" effect)-15(from Emet's attack) = 385 Health
Mana ~ 8-4(from Execte) = 4 Mana
Emet:
Health ~ 595-40.5(Inorog's Execute attack) = 554.5 Health
Mana ~ 11 Mana (Maximum)

Second round:
Inorog's next move is to Rend his enemies and apply the dot damage of its bleed.
Emet would most likely again use an auto-attack move on Inorog.
<Stats>
Inorog:
Health ~ 385+38.5(from the "Boxing Ring" effect)-15(from Emet's attack) = 385 Health
Mana ~ 4-2(from Rend) = 2 Mana
Emet:
Health ~ 554.5-27(from Inorog's attack)-18(from Bleed effect) = 509.5 Health
Mana ~ 11 Mana (Maximum)

Third round:
Inorog's next move is a simple auto-attack
This may be the perfect time for Emet to use Golem Armor for he will take lots of damage.
<Stats>
Inorog:
Health ~ 385+38.5(from the "Boxing Ring" effect)-15(from Emet's attack) = 385 Health
Mana ~ 2+3(From Evasion passive) = 5 Mana
Emet:
Health ~ 509.5-2.7(Inorog's attack reduced by Golem armor)-1.8(Bleed from Rend reduced by Golem Armor) = 505 Health
Mana ~ 6 Mana

That aside, we know where this will go. Inorog will win over the Stage effect, giving him his own lifesteal, plus his Evasion passive would help him regain mana for more damage. Inorog's lifesteal will always be above Emet's damage of 15 value, especially since Emet focuses on self-buffing skills and doesn't have any damage skills


Fight description:
Inorog starts off by delivering a massive blow to the dragon, applying his Execute skill. Emet would most likely chuckle over that attack as it more or less is a tickle due to his towering form made of stone. The dragon retaliates by punching the stallion and applying damage. Inorog brushes off of the attack and prepares for his next move, Rend. Inorog hesitates the move as he notices the stage glows a faint light that begins to empower his hands as his fists were covered with red aura.

Inorog proceeded with his move and landed a blow that caused Emet to get bruised and bleed. Inorog paused for a moment, he felt the grant of power, regaining his strength after the punch. During Inorog's pondering of thoughts as to how or why he felt the self-healing capabilities of his assault, Emet took this opportunity to strike another blow on Inorog's jaw, making Inorog's thoughts stay and focus on the fight.

Even though the dragon's bulk form, he began to feel a sting as to where the horse punched him, he used his Golem Armor skill; his skin glistens and shines as if the stone makes metal after polishing. Inorog's attacks were swayed, the damage were minimal.

Emet were focused on his opponent's move, but to his surprise, Inorog began to chuckle and laugh. The stallion's eyes glow red from blue as his entire body were surrounded by a red aura. The battle went on; Emet's strategy of "having the best defense is the best offense" is failing. The horse continue to assault the dragon without tiring, Emet's counter were useless as his armor of stone began to fail him while Inorog's strength doesn't decay.

The dragon began to sweat from his rocky form, he is losing from the battle. His final resort was to use his skill Rampage; his body began producing a red aura, similar to Inorog. The turquoise linings turned to ruby. He tightened his fists and his muscles bulged, he threw himself at Inorog, he did all of what remains in him. Emet did everything he could during the duration of his fury to regain his strength, but the stallion is not even breaking a sweat amidst all that. Emet's glow of red fade, and so is his will to fight.

Emet faltered, he knelt and submitted to his bleeding wounds. In front of the dragon stands the proud horse triumphant. The dragon golem took one last look on the horse before collapsing.


Chamber description:
Emet, while unconscious, was taken to the medical room. Where he was stripped naked as the staff healed his bruises and gave a special pill to help him regenerate his blood loss from the battle. The staff member was cleaning his body, rubbing with cloth-infused potion to help patch the open wounds. The dragon golem's body began to glisten again, like a well-made statue made by the Greeks in display at the museums. The staff gazed upon his torso, his pecs were still a bit swollen and pumped from battle. Blushing, he payed attention to what matters and noticed that his breathing is back to normal. He rubbed and cleaned the dragon's body a bit more, applying pressure and actually massaging the drake for he is not aware as to how hard his rock skin is.

"I guess this is okay for the boss... this should make a fine trophy."

Before he could ask for the scientist to transfer the dragon's body to the trophy chamber, something caught his attention. The dragon's member is erect. The staff member panicked, thinking he "spoiled" the trophy.

"W-was it from that pill? D-did I give too much of it..?"

One thing's for sure, the blood regeneration from the pill must have reached the dragon's cock to become hard like that, it must be it. Panicking, he might as well rub it with his cloth and "clean" it too while he's at it.

"I-I'll use that an excuse.. yeah! I-I'll say that.. I was just cleaning his entire body, like how I was tasked to do.. a-a-and his cock just 'went' like that as I was 'c-cleaning' over that area, yeah! t-that's it."

The staff member delivered the fallen champion's unconscious body, both of which, sporting a hard cock as they proceeded to the teleporting chamber.

#Inorog

Of course, the one thing i forgot >_>

#Emet

Because i think he got the skill to go

My Fight Analysis is posted above. (which I believe was the first analysis posted, though could be wrong.) This is my Fight Description Entry.

As the announcer spoke, both competitors walked out into the arena. Both thought they knew the stakes of this match. While neither actually did, they both still aimed to win and give it their all. On the left, the buff unicorn Inorog stepped out, holding his trusty battle axe. It had seen him through many battles before this, and it would see him through this one he hoped. On the right stood the stone golem of a dragon Emet, the crystals and markings on his body glowing a light teal as he readied to fight. The two stood within the boxing ring that had been set up for their match, ready to fight.

Inorog swung his axe through the air and then pointed at Emet. “I hope you are ready to lose golem. I have faced your kind before, you do not scare me.”

Emet took a step forward and smirked. “Well Sparkles I promise, keep swinging that axe in my direction and after this match its going up your ass.”

The two glared at each other for several long moments, until the bell sounded the match to begin. Inorog moved in first and swung his axe at the golem. He hit and Rend the stone skin, causing the golems blood equivalent to leak.

“Oh now you’ve done it Sparkles.” Emet let out a roar as he began to go into a Rampage, before he lashed out with his claws and attacked the unicorn very hard.

Though Inorog was quick to recover and using the momentum of Emet’s hit, swung his axe in an Execution swing. It hit and deepened the gash made by the Rend. “Oh, did I spill some golem goop?”

“Oh I will give you some golem goop! Come here Sparkles!” The two began to clash attacks for several seconds, each answering the challenge of the other as they refused to back down.

As Emet’s first gash began to cauterize, Inorog made another with a swift blow, before the golems body glowed and he activated his Golem Armor. The unicorn swung again but it barely did any damage as it just pinged off his temporary armor.

“That the best you got Sparkles? The golem growled and punched the unicorn right in the nose, though he quickly retaliated with another swing. After the second hit, the Golem Armor began to fade.

“Looks like you blew your load already golem, time to finish you off!”

“Bring it Sparkles, I got plenty more juice to go!”


Emet’s Victory:

The clash continued with mighty blow after mighty blow, striking each other hard with primal fury. In the end, with one final kick, Emet knocked the unicorn to the ground and punched him hard in the head, finally knocking him out.

“Yes! Victory is mine!” He held up his arms in victory as the match was called in his favor. He looked down at the unicorn and grinned, remembering his earlier comment. He licked his lips and felt a rush of arousal as he picked up the axe. “I believe I made a promise at the beginning of the match Sparkles. Time to follow through…”


Inorog’s Victory:

The clash continued with mighty blow after mighty blow, striking each other hard with primal fury. In the end, the unicorn thrust his axe into the golem’s stomach, before following through with a swing to the head. The swing left a gash in the dragon golem’s head and cracked a few things, the golem falling to the ground unconscious.

Inorog let out a sigh of relief and let the axe rest on his shoulder, waving to the crowd as he was announced the victor. He looked over his other shoulder at the unconscious golem, remembering his earlier comment. “You’re not putting anything up my ass…and don’t call me Sparkles ever again.” He smirked and casually walked out of the arena to prepare for his next match.

(actual vote: #EMET)

Fight Description:

The two champions stood at opposite ends of the ring with the surrounding crowds roared their excitement for the upcoming brawl. Inorog smiled in confidence, he was making sure to analyze every corner of his opponent's physique, "a weak-spot is in there somewhere" he thought. Emet snorted in anticipation, his crystalline protrusions proved an intimidating appearance, his powerful aggression ready to unleash itself on the enemy. Both flexed their thick muscles and jumped into stance, the fighters both trying to intimidate one another.

The Announcer exclaimed to the screaming fans, "Ladies and Gentlemen, are you ready?!" The crowds yelled even louder "fighters ready! And...BEGIN!!"

Emet spread his wings and lunged at the Unicorn, he bared his claws, ready to strike. But Inorog pushed himself against the ropes and kicked up his hooves, delivering a heavy blow to the attacking dragon. Emet fell on his back but was up again in a second. Inorog laughed at having delivered the first hit causing Emet's eyes to glow with rage! Both champions charged at fierce speeds and their hands met so heavily, the audience members in front nearly fell over from the shock of the impact! Inorog and Emet had their hands interlocked in a wrestle for power, their bold arms quivering from the sheer struggle from the dueling strengths. "You gettin' tired, golem?" Inorog laughed, Emet only responded with a sharp-toothed smile.

The audience nearly fell silent, the stalemate had deemed the winner uncertain and the champions were struggling together for the longest time. The deadlock ended when Emet readied his tail. The crowd of fans gasped allowed as the Dragon's tail took out the Unicorn from under. Inorog lost his grip and his balance and fell to the ground as his opponent took to the skies and hovered, his eyes fixed on his prey. Emet dived from the air at rocket speed, the Unicorn warrior could not move from shock as the beast zoomed in from above. The next thing he knew, Inorog received a powerful shock as his opponent's elbow buried its way into his gut!

The fans cheered aloud once more, it was clear the battle was won. Inorog lay on the floor of the arena, unable to get up and almost coughing out blood. Emet stood in the spotlight, basking in the cheers of his admirers, the dragon let out one roar that echoed throughout the venue and voiced his triumph to all people chanting his name.

Forgot to include one for the other outcome so I'll put it here:

The audience nearly fell silent, the stalemate had deemed the winner uncertain and the champions were struggling together for the longest time. The deadlock ended when the warrior let out a powerful battle cry, The audience was in awe, even the golem was caught off guard. Inorog took advantage of the distraction and threw Emet right off. With his opponent nearly off balance, Inorog rushed towards a deterred Emet and put all of his power and muscle into one gargantuan punch to his challenger's face. The hit caused Emet to fly off the stage and onto the cold ground, unconsious.

Inorog let out another battle cry to celebrate his triumph, his voice echoed by his joyful fans. He lifted his arms in victory and cheered for himself as the audience did.

MY HORN HAS PIERCED TOUGHER HIDE THAN THIS!

#Inorog

Statistically you have the win, though not sure how the votes will go.

If my understanding of the vote system is right, Ino's vote tally increases by 25% as well, due to being the statistical victor, which means Emet would have to surpass five votes for every four Ino has.

basically yeah. I think so.

#Emet

#Inorog

With his abilities he should be able to wear down Emet's defenses.
He'll be able to use his abilities more often as well on account of his passive.
The arena also favors him, granting him regeneration for each round Emet's rampage ability isn't active.

I believe #Emet would win this round. Keeping stats in mind, I just can't get over the fact that Inorog cannot make an opponent bleed when his opponent has no blood (From the looks of things anyway). In addition, Emet has just too much defense for this one. He could gradually ramp up his stats through mana and finish off this horse.

#Emet, unless the other one wall-pins like Ken.

#Emet
can't goo wrong with a dragon

#Inorog :D

#Emet

#Inorog

#Inorog

His stats are more balanced

#Inorog

I've been crunching a bit of numbers here, and pretty much does look biased towards Emet initially, the reality becomes that because of boxing ring's passive, Inorog would regain more than half the damage Emet deals per round while sustaining mana via evasion. The arena itself benefits Inorog more because of that; if it was an arena where the player's damage reduction was added to attack or sommat, the dragon dude would win.

#Inorog

I personal like Emet and was rooting for him before this began but seeing the odds, even as a fan for him I'd give my vote to Inorog. I would like to give my vote to Emet but I don't want to just vote for him because I like him, I'm looking at stats we all and here's what I see.

Looking at Emet's stats even if Inorog doesn't lay a finger on him for the 3 rounds Emet uses Rampage the most he can possibly do with that ability 225 but used with Body Building, his Attack will be 98.3, so just 98, giving a total of 294 for those 3 rounds if he isn't touched. The problem is that after that he'll be relying on his 15 attack points to take down the remaining 106, leaving 7 turns for attacks, and that's only if he doesn't take 1 point of damage.

All While Inorog has the perfect counter for it. With evasion he'll only take half that, let alone unlike Emet he won't be using his abilities once, but TWICE. If Stacking abilities counts in this, he can use double the effects of Rend and Execute leaving Emet with... let's see, 5 round of x8 Bleed Damage x3 Damage, 200%... see carry the five, take away the two... x16 Bleed Damage? With the x4 Bleed Damage from one Effect plus the 100% bonus from his Execute abilities Inorog will do x8 Bleed Damage, along with the Additional ability use leaving 5 turns of x16 Bleed Damage with 1 last turn of X8 Bleed Damage. Overall it's frequent Damage of Effect abilities. So it's that 5 turns of x16 Bleed Damage is going to do the overall punishment there and with that 90% damage resistance for 2 turns, will still leave 3 turns of X16 damage, overall it's a long phase of punishment and that's what gives Inorog the boost in my thoughts.

Even as a fan of Emet I give my vote to Inorog for the Damage of Effects

# Inorog

You don't want to add spacing between the hashtag and the name. Votes are counted with a search function, so the vote will be skipped if it's not accurate.

Thanks, I'll add that now. Also I should have asked, how much is Bleed Damage for just x1?

First, the bodybuilding effect is already applied. That's why his HP is listed in green.

Secondly, the bleed is 4x damage over 6 rounds. That makes it 108 total damage, 18 per round. Execute doubles the bleed damage, bringing it to 36 per round.

#Inorog

#Emet Even the strongest cannot kill stone! I feel Emet's abilities bear him out to last as long as he can, which would be a long while. He can outlast his opponent & still send hits out. I feel like in the end, it's a war of attrition & Inorog is out on that front when all his power is attack power!

#emet

#Inorog

Emet will have the upper hand early on, being able to first deal out 74 damage per hit versus Inorog's 27 assuming he pops the extra damage ability early, and he'll have the edge with his defensive ability as well, only sustaining about 3 damage for each of those rounds. The problem is each fighter's effective damage output is 0 on the round he's outdamaging the other, as the stage heals 10% damage every round to whoever has the highest damage. Emet is only capable of outdamaging Inorog for a total of five rounds, meaning he needs to deal out the full 400 damage in that time. He's only able to pump out 74 on each of the three rounds he's got Rampage active and 15 on each of the two rounds Golem Armor is up, which comes up to a total of 252 damage, far from what he needs to take Inorog down. With equal speed, they'll be hitting each other at equal rates as well, so that's not a factor. Ino doesn't even need to do anything but use baseline attacks the entire fight; bleed damage is just gonna be icing on the cake.

Sorry to Emet's fans, but you can't deny that it's just impossible for him to win here if you're actually taking a few minutes to analyze the stats. Vote how you like, but know that your vote has nothing to do with cold hard facts.

Dammit.

*each fighter's effective damage output is 0 on the round he's being outdamaged by the other

This is the first correct fight analysis. You've earned 100 Tournament Points, congratulations!

Inorog will also receive 25% bonus votes!

That actually surprises me a little bit! Thanks~

I think Emet possibly could have won this if he'd chosen to tank his speed further for 12 mana and higher base HP. He'd be the slowest competitor in the game, but he already was tied with Ino and Garu for that regardless. If he'd had 12 though, he'd have been able to ignore Golem Armor and used Rampage twice. That'd have given him a total of 6 rounds of having better damage, and while he'd have to spend one round to refresh (thus letting Ino recover 40 HP that round) he'd have pumped out a total of... probably 450 damage? Even accounting for the healing Ino would get on round 5 that'd still be just enough to take him down.

Just so I am aware of what I did wrong, how is this better than mine?

You didn't account for the arena effect at the end of every round, as far as I can tell!

Right. Fair enough. I did say it was a thing I did before I learned the area effect, though I get it now. I didn't know what you wanted, since previously when I asked you didn't reply, but now I do for going forward. I will have one posted on the next match soon

#Inorog

#Inorog

Even with Emet's defensive abilities, I just don't see how they can withstand What Inorog has going on offensively, especially since using them helps Inorog get another rend/execute combo going.

#Inorog

#Inorog

Just to get an actual analysis out of the way, although I've already been beaten to the punch:

Soft stats: Inorog
- Bleed damage = 18 per round over 6 rounds
- Execute damage = 54, increases bleed damage to 36 per round

Soft stats: Emet
- Rampage bonus = 40 damage, increases Atk to 74 for 3 rounds
- Golem Armor damage adjustments against Inorog's damage
--- base attack reduced to 3
--- execute reduced to 5
--- bleed reduced to 1
--- execute bleed damage reduced to 3

Since there's no real precedent here and I didn't see it explained in the rules pages, I had to make a few assumptions regarding how certain effects resolve, as follows:

Buffs begin and end at the end of the player's move, not the end of the turn.
DoTs resolve at the end of each round.
If an effect is augmented, then later refreshed, the augmented value remains. Only if the effect runs out does the augmented value also end.
Effects triggered by a state that is determined at the end of the round (such as who dealt more damage that round) occur at the end of a round.

As such it's possible my analysis is wrong, but this is due to lack of information. I can write up a better analysis if we get word of god on when effects resolve and how DoT damage interacts with effects like what the boxing ring has.

All duration effects resolve at the end of round. The order of which they resolve depends on the speed of the champions. E.g. If Inorog went first when he applied Rend, then Rend will tick before Golem Armor expires. All your other assumptions are spot on, but I didn't want to create a separate ruling for buffs and debuffs.

Q: When do "each round" effects apply?
A: At the end of each round, while the order of the effects depend on Speed.

#Emet

Two rounds of 90% damage reduction will make a whole lot difference. Combined with over 120 damage in two rounds back?... Yea, that indeed will be a big difference!

#Inorog

Even though Emet looks awesome... sigh.

One additional thing I have to add; I checked out the character brackets, and Garuganto is INCREDIBLY overpowered. Not accounting for stage effects, he can easily overtake any other combatant with the combination of Erase Memory and Warlock. In the upcoming battle with Simon all he needs to do is EM both of Simon's passives and it's pretty easy win from there. Hopefully it'll be ruled that EM being used separately on two different abilities won't nullify them both, and if that is the case, clarified ahead of time. Nothing against Garuganto or his player, they were very wise to pick that particular combo, but... damn, it's just so OP dude.

Well, I suppose we'll when the next match starts. It's a little early to be doing analysis there when I don't even know what the stage's effects are gonna be.

I noticed that too about Garuganto. In fact, there were several OP combos I could have chosen, but of course picking abilities that "fit" my character was the most important consideration. (you should have seen how OP the speed combos were before I pointed them out to Bogrim though, hoo booooy)

Those are already pretty difficult to beat themselves. The problem is that all three guys that are using speed combos rely on dual wield, so when they face off against Garu, all he needs to do is mind wipe their dual wielding and they'll be pretty effectively shut down for the rest of the match. Even if only one memory wipe can be up at once, it's enough to shut pretty much any other competitor down, and slap misfortune on them too, which at the bare minimum is going to give him 55 attack against a foe with no useful skills to exploit. I can see Warlock being double duration, but not infinite duration.

That said I'm seeing a few things that make little sense. For example, Simon has 10 MP, but his only skill costs 4, meaning he's wasting 2 unless one of the three fields has MP recovery. And the only reason Draco's gonna need 8 MP rather than 4 is because of Erase Memory, since Garu's gonna use that to shut Draco's Warlock down.

Aah so you are the cause my combo was altered (which fits my character, but alas :p )

I think it would be better if he used Erase Memory once on Dual Wield, and Misfortune, as Misfortune would negate the benefits of the other passive and actually reverse it.

In wording Erase Memory, I attempted to imply that only a single ability can be disabled. So you are correct in assuming it can't erase all the opponent's abilities.

Aight, so if he uses it twice, then the previous ability it was affecting would be enabled again. That's a little more balanced, although still really nasty in combination with warlock.

Might as well ask about the remaining abilities now too:

- Does Rope Master simply apply a constant 15% decrease to attack and speed, or does it stack multiple 15% reductions at the end of every round? The wording implies the latter, but I suspect it was meant to be the former.

- How does Misfortune affect Evasion? If it's applied the first turn, does that mean when Garu applies Erase Memory on the next turn it'll drain 2 mana from his opponent in the process? Will Evasion cause characters to take 50% more damage from abilities (not that this would come into effect, but may as well clarify that too)? Does it reverse already-used abilities like Sprint, or only those used while it's up? Also, the wording implies it affects all of the opponent's abilities, correct?

...actually I'm gonna call it now, Garu's gonna win, at least statistically. Between his three abilities he can literally shut everyone in the tourney down by first using Misfortune then using Erase Memory on one of their abilities:

Ash - He could shut down his Fire Breath (not that doing so would be needed since Evasion would drain enough mana that he wouldn't be able to use it again anyway).
Dmitri - All he needs is Misfortune since everything Dmitri has is a straight buff.
Emet - Same as above.
Inorog - Shut down Rend and Execute becomes useless. The only difference is that he'll use Erase Memory first if he's on the left, and Misfortune first if he's on the right, and if hes on the right he'll suffer bleed for a few turns.
Onodera - Shut down Dual Wield. That 38 Speed Onodera has at 1st round isn't gonna do shit if he can't use the speed knives. Misfortune isn't even necessary here except to give him an extra 30% attack.
Simon - Shut down Dual Wield. This one's actually a little tougher since, if Simon saves Sprint he can use it to dump his speed to remove Ambush's debuff to his Attack. But he's still screwed since he has less health and far less attack.
Tio - Shut down Dual Wield.
Draco - Misfortune, then shut down Rope Master.

Only a mirror match would be tough to call, mostly because whoever's on the left will Erase Memory the Erase Memory on the right, then they both Misfortune, then they're both slugging it out with 40% of their damage, and it becomes a game of Eenie Meenie Miney Moe.

Seriously, unless the castle or teleporter room stages' abilities screw Garu over there's literally no way he can lose unless people come out in droves to downvote him (not that I'm calling for that to happen because that'd be really shitty). Even making Misfortune only target a single ability won't help matters that much, as most characters have a specific ability worth targeting (Evasion, Bodybuilding, Warlock, and Ambush, though I'll grant it'll make a fight against Dmitri a closer call if it's a prolonged one).

Rope Master decreases the champion's current stats by 15%, it's a multiplicative decrease and not additive.

Misfortune behaves exactly like you predicted. Anything positive an ability does to the caster himself becomes negative. Speed increases becomes decreases. Mana gains becomes losses. Damage reductions become damage increases.

The last two arenas does indeed have equally impactful effects, which is why I haven't revealed them ahead of time as the arenas are supposed to provide an unpredictable swing to an otherwise predictable match.

Aight, one more question, this time about Longevity. According to the rules, all bonuses are multiplicative. Does that mean on the second round Dmitry's attack will be 24 x 1.24 x 1.04, and the third round will be 24 x 1.24 x 1.04 x 1.04, and the fourth 24 x 1.24 x 1.04 x 1.04 x 1.04 and so on? Or do the bonuses on Longevity add up before being applied, making the third round 24 x 1.24 x 1.08, the fourth 24 x 1.24 x 1.12, and so on from there?

I'll try and save any other questions until the next match unless I think of something that could be game-changing depending on how it's meant to work.

Longevity is an additive bonus because the formula suggested is (4% x the number of rounds passed).

Aight, that makes sense. Doesn't knock Dmitry's damage back all that much, though, so not exactly a problem there.

#Emet
Because Inorog would look gorgeous squeezed inside that cristal pod.

*growl*

#emet

#Inorog

#Inorog

Based on the 'map' bonus, most rounds he will get healing of 10% hp, far outpacing any sort of damage Emet can do in the same amount of rounds. It'll practically be one-sided.

#Inorog Not sure how the match will go but that Evasion ability seems more broken than prepatch Bayonetta.

I don't think it actually matters, though, because none of Emet's abilities directly deal damage. The only one about attack just modifies his power of regular attacking.

Doesn't matter, Bo's already stated that Evasion's MP absorption triggers regardless of whether an opposing ability targets the opponent or not. As such, Ino's gonna recover 3 mana each time Emet uses one of his abilities, despite their defensive nature. The only part that won't kick in is halving ability damage, since all of Emet's damage is from his direct attacks.

#Inorog

#Inorog

Since Inorog has Evasion to regain his mana, he will have more damage being dealt over the long run (6 rounds without refreshing) in comparison to Emet's two abilities that boost his attack for a short time (3 rounds of 75 damage) or his damage resistance for a short time (2 rounds). After he uses those two abilities, Emet is stuck with only base attacks of 15 against Inorog's base of 27 with a maximum bleed each round of 36 (Rend and Execute combo). And if Inorog plans his Rends correctly, he can, apparently, refresh his Rends with their boosted Execute damage. And with the arena bonus of regaining HP for dealing the most damage each round, Emet would win on the rounds where his Golem Armor and Rampage are in effect and Inorog would win at any other time. Maybe Emet could win if he tried not using his abilities too soon, but I don't think it would really matter in the long run because Inorog would still regain mana from Emet using his abilities, and thereby getting to use his (Inorog's) abilities more often. It is going to be a long fight, but Inorog will more than likely win.

#Inorog

#Inorog

Go bro! Nero's cheering for ya!

#Emet because I feel his abilities and stats are more appropriately based on his character and the horse seems a little op based on the math.

I have to take slight umption to this statement because there were far more OP ability combos I could have chosen, but chose to stay true to my character's established fighting style instead. It was tough trying to do that and remain competitive, but that's the sacrifice in a limited system like this.

Inorog has always been depicted as an aggressive fighter in my gallery, with an emphasis on physical strength. Two offensive abilities and stats weighed heavily towards health and damage I feel reflect that well. He's also an experienced veteran of many battles, so giving him evasion made sense so he'd have some passive "survivability" while still clearly being aggressive. His primary weapon being an axe also gives his "bleed" inflictions more credence (even if that's not reflected in the art)

Now compare that to Emet, who's abilities all synergize like crazy with each other, and I feel his abilities are actually far more OP (while still totally fitting his character, so I can hardly fault him for choosing them and that is not the intent of this post at all!) Rampage + Bodybuilding is a devastating combo, and with his stats so heavily slanted to health I'm fairly certain Inorog would get trounced anywhere else. In the end, I think it's the arena that gives Inorog the advantage here. It simply makes Emet unable to damage Ino on any turn he's not using rampage, and since he can't finish the unicorn off on those turns... Inorog basically wins by default. Albeit after quite an extended period of hacking, punching, and close-quarter combat which the hapless gargoyle simply can't effectively fight back in (maybe his wings keep him from maneuvering around the cramped ring, or they get caught on the ropes). In the end, this is a good example of the stage effect shifting the outcome of a match, and how no amount of good planning can beat those classic Bogrim "random effects". Er, assuming Ino does win, that is (the voting is still way too close to call)

Anyway, that was my unsolicited two cents!

I think what he's saying is that based on the image, it doesn't really appear that Inorog could "rend" mainly. There's no axe depicted, so all of Emet's abilities seem to make sense with the stone tank he sees, while Inorog's, at first glance, just seem like they were picked for attack power rather than fitting the character's attributes.
Just felt like I had to chime in since unsolicited comments are apparently now the thing to do.

Yeah, I really wish Bogrim had drawn the axe in, but there was no chance to correct anything since he went right to the finalized piece for this tournament without any sketch shown. But he since told me in private conversations that the ability cards can be taken as 'stand-ins' for weapons if we wish. So we just gotta use our imaginations on this one. ;]

#Inorog

I'd rather seem choke at the end of the tournement.

I bet you would.

#Inorog because Rend is a Damage overtime, as long as he keeps him applied he'll do plenty of damage and can focus on his evasion and execute rotation until the next 6 rounds

#Emet

#Inorog

#Emet Win for Mews!!

#Inorog, por favor.

I'mma say #Emet because he seems pretty tanky and can probably outlast Inorog.

#Emet

I'm no let going to say why because the analysis machine of mine needs fine tuning for this tournament, and everyone else said the same thing I'm thinking but better.

Voting for this match has ended now. Votes will be counted shortly and the most correct fight analysis will be picked.

Emet: 62 votes.
Inorog: 58 votes + 25% fight advantage as deducted by  OnyxTanuki = 72,5 votes.

Inorog's the winner. Congratulations!

Hold on, it's not Sunday the 5th yet. D: I didn't realize you were counting an entirely different time zone. :x

Mostly for the sake of wanting to write something on this, not so much to vote. :x

It's a completely fair point! I'll hold off from picking the comment writing entries to the day after then. You'll all have an additional 24 hours after the match ends to post your stories.

Chamber Description:

Emet slowly picked himself up off the arena floor as Inorog was already leaving it. He debating for a moment charging the unicorn, but he didn’t have the strength left to fight him. He grumbled and hobbled towards the exit, his wounds were healing already, but they still hurt like a bitch. He took one last look at Inorog as he left. He wished he had won, wishing he could force that equine bitch down, pin him to the ground and just make him his. The golem’s cock swelled under his loincloth as he thought about breaking the unicorn’s ass, tying him tight up so he couldn’t resist and put a gag in his mouth…possibly with something to humiliate him even further. Fuck, why did it have to be a fantasy? He could do it; he just needed to catch the unicorn by surprise. Before this tournament was over, he would make that unicorn his property. He grinned and walked much more confidently out of the arena, his arousal very obvious to anyone looking at him.

He passed by the room where the Champion’s waited. As he lost he wouldn’t be allowed back in. He was debating his next move when a very well dressed fox approached him. He didn’t recognize him, but he judged him on appearance, assuming he was far weaker than him and not a threat. Someone he might protect under other circumstances.

“Mr. Emet? Can you please come this way? There is a special room prepared for the loosing Champions. There you can rest, watch the remaining fights, and there will be a generous meal provided for your effort.” The fox said with a convincing smile.

“Oh? That’s good.” Emet smiled himself and followed the fox.

“You also might be able to deal with that.” The fox gestured to Emet’s still erect cock, which the loincloth was doing nothing to hide.

“Oh! Sorry, yeah, I might…” Emet hadn’t realized his arousal hadn’t gone down, the naughty thoughts in his head with Inorog still there. Though the more he thought about it, the more reason re-entered his mind and the less his more wild nature controlled his thoughts.

The fox lead him to an odd device built into the floor of a back hallway, a sign specifically saying that only cleared personnel may enter. Though Emet recognized it, as they were used often; a teleporter. “This will take you there, thank you for participating in the tournament Champion. Your effort has been noted and appreciated.” The fox said as he waited for Emet to go through.

Emet smiled to him and nodded. The walk and talking to the fox had helped him cool his head. Yeah he still wanted to do naughty things to Inorog…but not with as much rage and malice. Maybe if the unicorn ended up loosing, or after all this was over, he could ask him somewhere private and show him some of the extra benefits of a golems hardness and stamina.

He smiled and walked through the teleporter. On the other side, he entered a dark room, looking around he saw eight glass tubes with a digital display at the bottom. “What the…” Emet said, before he felt something hit him hard across the back of the head and he was knocked out again.

When he awoke, he found himself inside of one of the tubes. The room around him was too dark to see much of anything besides a TV set up against a wall and the other seven tubes, still empty. He immediately struggled to get free, but not only was he in the tube; he was bound by strong chains. His arms were tied behind his back and his maw was tied shut. Also he was naked, his still hard erection pressing against the tube.

He groaned a little as he instinctually humped against the glass a little, but recovered quickly as he realized he was being watched. Stepping out of the shadows he saw the fox that led him here, though with a much more devious and dominant expression.

“You’re really a unique one…with your stone skin and shiny attachments. My new business partner will be totally upbeat about you!” The fox said, with a slight laugh.

All Emet could do was grumble and groan as he struggled to get free, but the chains were on tight, as if they had been put on by a master of bondage. Entirely restricting his movements of his mouth and arms, and while they didn’t hurt, they were on tight enough that he couldn’t forget they were on.

“Though I didn’t lie, this is everything I said it was. You can rest here, as you won’t be going anywhere else for a while. You can watch the remaining fights from here.” He pointed to the large TV; as it turned on to show the next arena.

“Oh? And about that meal? Well…” The fox casually began to grope his own crotch. “If you’re good, you might get a nice creamy meal by either me or my business partner…” He grinned devious and then casually walked out of the room.

Emet growled and watched him leave, but couldn’t do anything about it. He was helpless. In his moment of weakness he was defeated again and now he was trapped. He was reduced to just some other person’s plaything. He growled and struggled, trying to use his rage and strength to break out, but apparently that had all be taken into consideration. So all he ended up doing was rubbing his erect cock against the glass more.

He began to whimper as it all became overwhelming, and he thought about it. After a few minutes, he began to thrust against the glass again. At least he could do that. At least he could take care of his erection. His mind flooded with what he imagined was going to happen to him. Trying to imagine the fox and whoever else using him as a toy. He thought about it as he humped. He hated himself for being captured. He hated the fox for capturing him. He hated Inorog for defeating him and putting him in this position. But the thing he hated most of all was that deep down…he liked it.

Just as the final wisps of the second great tournament had almost dissipated, a new one rose up, with new fighters, heating the blood of bettors and fans alike.

Despite the plain look of the boxing ring for the first match, it was impossible to ignore the two statuesque warriors facing each other in the middle of the ring. A PA system gave a noisy feedback before a voice piped up.

"Leeeeet's get ready to rumbleeeee!"

"In the blue corner we have proof that unicorns are real, you know; I know, Inorooooog!" The speaker paused briefly to allow cheers (which were mixed with threats of people who had put high bets on the first fight). "And in the red corner, the ever stoic, golem of stone and magic, Emeeeeeet!" Once again cheers and jeers were thrown from the crowd.

"This is a battle to knock out, and remember folks, the more you cheer for your favorite the better off they'll be!"

"What manner of FIEND are you?" Inorog asked as he pointed a finger at his opponent.
"I must fight and win as I am commanded."

The dragon golem's runes and eyes flashed bright blue and in mere moments he was on top of Inorog slamming him to the mat with massive fists. The brutish unicorn was barely able to get away from the golem and managed to deliver a swinging kick that, to his surprise, drew blood from the grey skinned creature.

Emet paid nearly no mind to the damage that was done, as he continued to obey what his master had commanded him to do. He swung his tail around landing a blow on the unicorn who was clearly more prepared as the hit did not hobble him as the first one had, and he advanced with his fists raised.

Inorog swung forward, this time landing a solid blow to the beast where the bleeding scar of his previous hit had found its home. The gurgling sound that the golem made and the additional flow of blood from the wound was enough for the warrior to know that his opponent was going to be in a world of hurt over the next few exchanges.

Both of the fighters circled and landed hits on each other, leaving welts, cuts and bruises. A quick kick from Inorog briefly hobbled the golem and as the unicorn swung around for another hit he was aware of the dragon's runes glowing again. When his foot made contact it felt more like kicking a mountain than a living being.

"Aargh, what is this?"

Before the unicorn had the chance to move, Emet grabbed his leg and swung him round full force into the mat.

"Must fight, must win."

The unicorn could sense his opponent nearing and he pushed himself up and tried moving forward. The stone hand grabbed out and caught not air, but the warrior's shorts which did not hold up well on the strain before ripping away in the stony hand of the golem.

Inorog turned to face his foe again but was met initially with the sound of laughter, cat calls, and a surprisingly unexpected breeze around his nether regions. He looked up to see the dragon holding the tattered remains of some cloth. The gears clicked slowly in his mind before he looked down to see that he was no longer merely baring his fighter's soul to the crowd, but a whole lot more of him as well. He might have thought longer about his predicament, but his opponent had wasted no more time in waiting and moved on the attack. It was clear he would have to fight it out regardless of his lack of dress.

As Emet pushed forward after his stunned opponent, he felt slower, or maybe the unicorn had gotten faster. None of it mattered as the command for him to fight and win still was the resounding voice in his head. Enough that he wasn't paying any attention to just how much of his blood had spilled on the canvas and how the hits from his opponent were just a little more effective. A kick to his leg brought him down to one knee and the following punch that hit his face brought on blackness and silence.

As Inorog pressed his advantage he was surprised that the laughter that he had once been hearing had turned to cheers. Perhaps it was the fact that despite his predicament he still fought on. With the final punch ringing home he felled his opponent and watched the dragon golem slump to the floor before vanishing from the ring. As he hardly understood what his opponent was in the first place, the fact that he had disappeared was a mere afterthought. The unicorn raised his arms in victory briefly before remembering that he was flashing the whole crowd of onlookers, with a bit more humility he covered up and made his way out of the ring to tend to his wounds.

Emet awoke to darkness. When he tried to move, he found he no longer to do so. Heavy chains had bound him and a dome of glass surrounded him. At first he struggled with the commands to fight and win that echoed in his head, but soon that command was being pushed aside, and was being replaced with something different. Commands of lust and obeisance were fighting with his original orders, and he could feel his body responding to it; as his erection sprung forth and was pressed tight against the glass of his prison.

It was a tough call between yours and domino5508 's entry as they were both excellent, but the humor and soul you managed to put into the fight in such a short passage of text is amazing. 100 Tournament Points probably isn't that fabulous a prize, but this match description goes to you.

I'm honored that you chose me. :)

An excellent first match, how I enjoy it to watch these powerful guys fighting each other with such passion, only to end up nicely tied up, gagged and helpless in a glass prison! I imagined the hard punches and kicks of the unicorn would maybe be too much for the rough skin of the stone dragon. What a pity for him, hehe! But now we have our first prisoner and I definitely will make good use of this handsome thick skinned stubborn! Time to test his real endurance, hehehe!

The next battle is prepared and the Champions ready... let's see where this goes then...
