I believe CeruleanDraco may have a play by play, and I'm sure he has a good summary and a bunch of comments to share with everyone. Please wait for him to post before beginning to post or you can just ruin it for everyone. Much thanks and appreciation.

Sit down my children, and I shall tell you a tale,
Of yours truly, Mute, finding CeruleanDraco with no fail.
It was a hard, treacherous, and way long trip
In the end, only one, came out with a flip.
The defeated, always did, try his best,
But your victor here, never fails his tests.

Scouring the Coliseums to and fro, to no avail, was he found. Finally, taking the airship of Euler into the land of the sky demons, was the target finally acquired. And both sides prepared their mates, and brought their arms at hand in the Coliseum of Power.

With equal teams, with 2 differentiating lapis, Fatima, Karen, and Althea took to the north and charged right through, but althea and karen cunningly locked the pass up, minimizing damage dealt. In the southern pass, Roland and Ayano attempt to barge through like the north, but roland and fatima camp, waiting for first strike. Fatima dies and dies, only to boost althea and karen’s morale, and revived Ayano mistakenly travels to no cover, only to be sniped by fatima. All was lost when Roland is sent to Northaeron, and roland burns Pip, who revives Karen in sight of karen. The victor was clear when ayano’s morale overcame Althea, with roland, never dying, finishing her. With the everyone surrounding Roland, pip comes to the front lines, pimp slapping Roland, ending the long awaited matchup.

Slaying thy dragon, was no easy task,
But now there is only glory, in which we can bask.
The opponent seemed not to care, with blood shot eyes,
However I can never believe, such white lies.
Breezing by each challenge, gaining knowledge as loot,
Your new LA2 Champion is, yours truly, TheMute!

Our first match was one and a half hours long, but the connection dropped. I have pic/video proof. Our second match was one hour and fifteen minutes long, with me coming out on top. Both times were on Coliseum of Power, the sky map with a hole in the middle, and it’s questionable Doc was winning, but we can both easily argue both sides to an eternity. I made many many mistakes in our first match, and I simply, and easily, minimized them the second time around.

As for key move/errors and turning points, Doc kept suiciding Fatima in the chokey north, only to boost my Karen/Althea’s FD bar. His Roland broke my front lines, but I killed him instantly, and another error was sending revived Roland to the North, where, from there, I kept moving south to avoid him. In my perspective, I thought Doc kept kamkaze’ing his troops, but behind the scenes, I think he just didn’t count every square as I did. With my Roland killing Pip, Ayano FD’ing Althea, and finally Roland finishing Althea off (with his Fatima and Roland still alive) it was game. In the whole match my Fatima and Ayano each died once.

As for my side, I just counted every single tile and constantly pressed R and L and checked the AO order list, using every single of the 90 seconds I had. I felt FD truly helped a lot, which helped my Roland kill a weakened Pip with Ignis and helped my Althea kill a weakened Fatima with Ignis Blaze. I was nervous at first, with my right left constantly shivering, but one simply must calm down, take your time, and count all those squares!

Woo! Siliconera wins by a great representative! Maybe they won't be over my ass after all. ^_^;;

Either way, great job, Mute. You deserve it. And great fight too, Doc. You weren't so bad yourself.

For the record, you're not champion of "the world". You're champion of North America. =)

As far as the prizes go, the artbook's already been signed, and it was signed by Kaito Shibano, the character designer.

The "poster" is a giant blown up box front on gator board. (hard plastic printable layer, foamcore backing.)

As far as the older games...I'll have to get back to you on that option.

Not that it matters much to me, but I was wondering.. is it the Japanese box art or the USA box art for the poster?
As cool as Josie is, there are two reasons why he should not be on the poster.

What are they? Please do say :devil:

1. He is a scary undead kitty
2. He is disproportional and inaccurate to the rest of the characters in the background.


It's the US version.

I shall shed tears for the person that gets it now, Thank you.

Do you mean to say that he'd be on the right or the left? If not how does that imply political views? XD

Oh yeah and come on winners of this great great tourney please choose your price quickly so that Manly Biceps can ship everyone's goodies :devil:

I'm confused, I thought there was going to be a round robin to determine 1st-4th. Or was it decided that TheMute won his semi-final and the finals was Draco vs TheMute?

Manly Bicep, you should post an official post about this though, like modifying the first post, etc. Not putting any pressure on you though :devil:

I'm kind of waiting for Cerulean to admit defeat to wrap this all up. It's mainly just a formality.

Congrats, Mute! Though I was rooting for CeruleanDraco (I was his first casualty, heh), you both did a great job.

Now... Nobody's asked it yet. Somebody's gotta ask it. I might as well ask it. When do we get our business card holders? :) (Actually, I probably know the answer: After the top winners choose their prizes, they will all be mailed out at once. Right? Right?)

well, despite what mute says, honestly, after the first match, (where i say it was undesputable that i would have won~) i just didn't care anymore and wanted our match and this tournament to be over. damn my impatience!!! its as mute said, i just wasn't counting squares, wasn't thinking tactically, i just wanted to rush in and kill. damn blood lust >__<

anyway, water under the bridge... thank you atlus for this opportunity, thank you manly for dealing with all of us, you did a tremendously wondrous job, and thank you to everyone that participated as well, if anyone still wants to play, i'll have a lvl 45 and lvl 99 teams, just pm me.

and to skell, i will be ready for your tournament soon.

It appears that the first match was alot more intense and went the way that I thought it would, though it is unfortunate that there was a dc and that the second match wasn't played to its fullest.

Hopefully my tournament goes as well as this one, and has an even more epic finals match.

A little late maybe, but hey... congrats Mute!

Now get your chars to 99 so you can prove your worth against the 99-people as well.

Also, both my guess for semi-finals and finals were right. Isn't that just plain awesome?
