LinkMan.EXE VS SplitMan.EXE

"Well folks, the fight's going on, and both sides start with a defensive maneuver!" Pearl announced, broadcasting to the watching audience as Linkman put up his barrier and Splitman strapped a Guard1 to his arm.

"It looks like it's going to be some Guerilla warfare folks! Both sides send Minibombs after each other and.... Whoa! Those things just negated each other! Nice try guys!" Pearl commented, folding her arms over her chest, gazing at the field pensively.

"Now what could Linkman be... Holy smokes!" Pearl gasped as Linkman microbursted himself closer to Pearl than she would've liked before sending a Firebomb at Splitman, who reflected the blow with his Guard, popping Linkman's barrier as he landed...

...in a hole.

As Splitman healed himself, Linkman found falling from REALLY high areas was not very good, and not many people could do so without getting hurt. So, the crash to the lower level was pretty painful.

"Well, there you have it folks! This match is getting more exciting by the minute! Stay tuned for the next few moves!" Pearl announced, gesturing toward the screen. If you were viewing it that is.

Split peaked out from behind his cover to see his opponent shoot past him... vertically... and plummet into the first floor. There wouldn't be another chance to get close. While his ballistic opponent recovered from his landing Split pursued, keeping his left arm in claw-mode he shouted a vague obscenity at his Operator, pleading for some advantage
"GOD ##$%it Chad gimme something" Was all that could me made out from under the sound of scraping metal as he bounded down the path towards his opponent. As he landed he glanced at his hand for only a brief moment... it would have to do.. "Target locked and... FIRE" He shouted, aiming his weapon not at his unexpecting opponent but at the adjacent ground, and firing not a weapon shot but himself at his foe barreling towards him at high speed.

Silver light flashed through the air as he clawed for his opponent's weapon, attempting to redirect the clearly incoming attack away from his body. Meanwhile his right hand had regained natural form, except for a blue white mist that seemed to engulf it. "You deals SUCK" He shouted, pulling in with his left hand and throwing a straight punch at LinkMan's face. "ALSO, you are slow to react to situations" He vainly added, clearly looking for but failing to find wit in the heat of the moment. Not that it mattered, though, as the second fist streaked towards his opponents face.

Pain lanced through his body, he could only hope that he wasn't falling apart somewhere without realizing it. Ah well, at least he wasn't a coward like this chump.

Summary: (reminder that available take Lock-On aims automatically occur for attacks on target)
Advanced Mobility(passive): Jump Down to LinkMan's Level
AirShot: Shoot self into LinkMan
RageClaw(40): Grab LinkMan's weapon arm, point away.
ColdFist:(70 Aqua+Impact+KnockBack): LinkMan
ColdFist:(70 Aqua+Impact+KnockBack): LinkMan
"Ouch ouch ouch..." LinkMan muttered as he rubbed his head which got dented slightly due to the fall, "Turns out I can't fly..." He kept rubbing softly until he realized what he had said and stared forwards with an annoyed look on his face. "Why am I not surprised of this..." he muttered and glanced sideways at Soryu.

"Of course you can't fly! Nor do you have wings!" Soryu exclaimed, then crossed his arms, "If you could, you would've been ChickenMan." Wisely he nodded to himself, then put his arms in a normal position again. Or at least as normal as possible as he held one arm into the air and the other in front of his eyes.

"What... Are you... We're in a fight!" LinkMan rambled and pointed at the hole above him, "I just fell down, you know! We have no time for strange motions!"

With a swift motion, as if it were at the speed of light, Soryu slotted in three chips after each other and ended with some smoke coming from his hand due to the incredibly fast motions.

Acting as if this was a normal occurence in LinkMan's life as Soryu's Navi, he just nodded plainly and progressed the chip data. "More bombs..." he muttered and started executing their data within his body to create the weapons. His shoulders started to increase in size, becoming more circular with the second as they generated the MiniBomb data. A third orb appeared on the back LinkMan's neck, causing him to tilt his head downwards so it would have space to grow. The three spots on LinkMan's body that had grown shattered and shot a bomb each into the air, towards the hole were LinkMan fell out of previously. "And now... My specialty..." he muttered as he flashed a smile towards someone or another. His head already tilted downwards, he gently tipped the floor with his arms and made a dash across the lower level of the tournament's arena so he would be anywhere except the place where the bombs would explode.

1. MiniBomb [60 DMG; Blast 1; Thrown] @ Hole above LinkMan
2. MiniBomb [60 DMG; Blast 1; Thrown] @ Hole above LinkMan
3. MiniBomb [60 DMG; Blast 1; Thrown] @ Hole above LinkMan
4. Dodge
"The heat's back on folks! And it looks like Splitman's chasing after Linkman! But oh! The poor guy shot himself directly into Linkman's thrown Minibomb! They've both collided! Split's barrier is gone too! Linkman tries to send another Minibomb Splitman's way, but it misses as Splitman grapples the trader navi's arm! Oh! Here comes the fisticuffs! Linkman blasts another Minibomb at Split while Split delivers a devastating straight to Linkman! Here comes the second one, but Linkman moves his head in time to avoid it! The combatants are stuck together, head-to-head, arm-to-arm, toe-to-toe! What a match folks! What a match!" Pearl yelled, putting the play-by-play for all the actions occurring in the battle as the screen's view shifted to the lower level.

((Why is the deadline always on the weekend..))

Splitman reached his arm back, as he went for what appeared to be the final blow, but before his arm could finish winding up, his right hand turned into a cannon. "And... it looks like this is where we part." He said as he launched an unusually strong blast of air at his opponent, hopefully directing him underneath the nearest block.
Split stretched his limbs for a moment before leaping though the air towards his final target... the rope supporting the giant block that drifted overhead. "You had enough of melee fighting anyway, right?" He asked his none-too-happy opponent before unleashing the block from its fragile tether.
Splitman just hung there for a few moment, reorienting himself as he looked below. Including unforeseen damages, he was likely about to die. Chad was kind enough to send him another recovery chip, upon which he added his own energies. As Split hung there, drifting back and fourth he looked down waiting to see what Link would do.

Summary:
AirShot:Linkman under closest cube
Advanced Mobility: Jump above cube
RageClaw: Cut Rope
AutoDodge
Recovery50: Heal self, use whatever pool healing is necessary.
((I don't like deadlines for posting nonetheless... Posting it with Shuryou due to laziness.))

"Just as planned," Soryu said as he shifted his glasses back to the back of his nose, "We'll take it from here, SplitMan." Saying this with confidence in his voice, Soryu slotted in some chips and looked anxiously at the PET's screen.

"As planned!?" LinkMan bellowed, "Take it from here!? I just got pummeled!" Tears started rolling over LinkMan's cheeks as he tried to maintain the pain inflicted on him. "That hurt..." he whined while at the same time he analyzed the chip data sent to him, realizing what Soryu was planning by looking at the order of the chips. "Pulling that out now, Gosthe...? So that was your plan..." LinkMan muttered as he crossed his arms and thought, But did it have to involve me getting hurt like this... The black arms of LinkMan instantly got a white color all across it and started shooting webbing at SplitMan, until his own arms were no more. Quickly after that, he faded from sight for a split second and reappeared on the other side of SplitMan. His two arms, that had been used for the webbing, were reformed now as blades that had been set on fire. "Fire..." LinkMan weeped quietly as he shook his arms, trying to get the flames away.

"Link!" Soryu shouted, his arms crossed, "What the chip are you doing?"

"I don't like fire," LinkMan said with teary eyes. Turning to Soryu, he noticed the stern look on his Operator's face, causing the tears to flow even more and then decided to attack SplitMan as planned with the weapons. Flames danced around LinkMan as he swung around his weapons in a fierce attempt to attack SplitMan, not even paying attention to his opponent's position besides the fact that he had warped to the opposite side of SplitMan.

1. WhiteWeb1 [40 DMG; 3 Targets; Snare; Ranged] @ SplitMan
2. AreaGrab [Teleport] behind Splitman
3. FireKnife [60 FIRE; Slashing; Sword Clause; Melee] @ SplitMan
4. FireKnife [60 FIRE; Slashing; Sword Clause; Melee] @ SplitMan
Pearl decided, at this time, to take a nap, but the camera, wherever it was, followed the battle effortlessly. Splitman overrode his ColdPunch and Microbursted Linkman under the nearest cube, and was about to leap into the air when white, silky, sticky threads snared his legs and caused him to drop to the ground, rendering the rest of his cutting plan a failure. By the time the bipolar navi had managed to use his Rageclaw to start cutting the webbing loose, Linkman had already teleported behind Splitman and dealt a burning slash to Splitman, whose Undershirt took the brunt of the blow. He managed to heal himself before the next attack, but he was still pretty badly burned by the other slash.

"Just as planned," Soryu said as a wide grin stretched across his face, "Now! Get him closer!" Swiftly Soryu slotted in 2 chips and continued to shout at LinkMan, "Don't let me down!"

"F-Fine," LinkMan muttered and flung his arms towards SplitMan, ejecting the connection cords from both gloves and sent them towards his opponent. Once ejected, the cords started wiggling around and increasing their length while in pursuit of their target with the mission of tangling SplitMan to the ground. As his tentacle-like appendages went on their journey for SplitMan's body, LinkMan's own body went on its own journey as the back of his head started to grow in size, just like his stomach at that time, due to the chip data being executed. "I really don't like this way of using chips," LinkMan whined quietly as his arms shook due to the force of his extension cords.

"That's enough time, Link," Soryu eventually said, "I'm sure your cords have gotten him by now... Continue."

LinkMan's body burst open at the sound of Soryu's final word, causing a pillar of fire to emergy and head straight for SplitMan. LinkMan just looked into the distance, hoping that his Operator would become a sane person one day, and figured that he had another chip within his body. "Don't tell me..." LinkMan muttered and felt his face crack slightly, causing a small crack to appear between his eyes and just above his nose. "I don't like whe-" he said, but his words were stopped by a burst of energy released from his face, causing his face to split open and instantly reform itself. As his face reformed, he continued to speak as his eyes closed partially, "-re this is headed..."

"hahaha... HAHAHAAHAHAAA" Splitman began laughing uncontrollably, red dancing about his eyes like distant flames in the night. "I gottttchuuu.... GOT YOU" He laughed out loud as he reached towards his opponent with the same viscous claw he had been carrying about for entirely too long"Itsall... ove..r"
Eight clicks registered in order before Splitman wold even consider letting go of his opponent.

When Splitman did let go... his opponent was not the only thing the was released. Split stepped towards his bouncy opponent as his body screamed out, metal tearing an cables snapping with an unbounded fury. "I SAID I GOT YOU" He shouted over and over again as he swung his disjointed arm at his opponent with no concern for his personal safety whatsoever. If his opponent died, he wouldn't die. That was the only thought in Splitman's mind as he pounded away in his opponents direction. Crunch followed by sickening crunch, then there was only panting and a gentle heave as his body and limbs fell to the ground. "You better be freaking dead" he managed to gasp out, as he lay there softly moaning.

Chad took the time to load in a heal chip, just in case Split could still use it. "You think you up to it?" He asked his virtual companion, but no response was heard.

Summary:
RageClaw: Prevent Linkman's escape
Target Lock: 8 Instances of take aim
RedOut: 9 Buster Attacks (9x50), Buster Crash, Self Slow
Recovery50: Heal Self (if still alive)

Advanced Mobility(passive): Pursue Linkman if he tries to escape
"Back to the game folks! Things are getting close! Splitman charges at Link, who... holds Split with two connection cords! It looks like Split's close-range combat tactics won't work this time! Hold on a sec here, Linkman seems to be... exploding?" Pearl commented, waking up from her short nap, and peering closely at the battlefield. Indeed, it seemed Linkman's cables had stopped his opponent in his tracks and the trader navi has burst himself open to send marching pillars of lava at Splitman.
The bipolar navi took this chance, though being singed, to lock-on to his opponent with various targeting vectors. Unfortunately, he couldn't move well enough to rip off his right arm and throw it at Linkman.

"It looks like this is the end for Splitman, folks! He's been charred a lot already and would've been down already if it wasn't for his Undershirt! The final Cannon from Linkman hits! It's over! Split has performed an Emergency Jack-Out! The winner is Linkman.exe and Soryu Gosthe! All of you put up a good fight! Congratulations! And see you all next time!" Pearl announced as Splitman dissolved back into the PET.
