This takes place in an apartment.

He is a Mass Hysteria in Paranoia Agent as well. Great show.

Good entry, IKA. Pretty good introduction to Lil' Slugger, even as an apparently imaginary character in this story. Match could still use a bit of editing, though. As for the match, Alfred knows Batman about as well as, if not better than, anyone, so I think he can eventually help Bruce out of this latest funk.

Gah, didn't get back to this in time. Wanted to look up a little more on Yujiro Hanma before voting. Would have gone for him to push it to a tie.

The man lay gasping for breath on the tiled floor, blood staining his white shirt. A few feet away his girlfriend whimpered as she vainly tried to use her hand to stop the bleeding from her own stab wound. Standing above them both brandishing a knife dripping with blood was Victor Zsasz. She stepped over the man with a confident smirk on his face. The man closed his eyes tight to keep from gazing at the shirtless figure, his arms and torso a mass of tally mark scars. “Look at me when I’m talking to you, piggie.” The man winced as Zsasz knelt on his chest. “You have no idea what I’m doing for you, do you? You think you got it made. A place to live, a girl, a future. But it’s all a lie. You are in a prison. A prison of life.” Blood dripped onto the man’s face as he desperately tried to scream. Zsasz put a finger to his lips. “Shh. Don’t worry. This is the day you are going to finally break free from your prison.” He leaned over a whispered into his victim’s ear. “Embrace your liberation.” A swift slash of Zsasz knife was all it took to cut the man’s throat. Zsasz stood up and turned around. “And now, my dear, it’s your turn to…” Zsasz stopped his ranting when he saw the woman was gone. There were several blood-soaked footprints leading out the swinging door. Zsasz’s eyes narrowed in annoyance, putting a tally mark into his left pec. “Okay, little zombie. We can play hide and seek if you want.” The woman staggered down the hall as fast as she could. She ran to the door of another apartment, seeing light shining from inside through the crack. She banged on the door with both hands. “OPEN UP! PLEASE! FOR GOD’S SAKES OPEN UP! HURRY!” There was a rattling of a chain and the door opened. The woman ran inside, not even seeing who opened the door for her. “I need your phone! There’s a madman trying to kill me!” She collapsed on a heap onto the couch. The TV in front of it was playing a scene from a Saw film. Billy the Puppet was delivering instructions to a new victim. The woman sobbed at the violent scene and turned away. Far too late this meant she could finally see the figure who had let her in. Her screams of terror mingled with the movie on the TV. “Live or die. Make your choice.” Victor Zsasz followed the footprints to the door and pushed it open with his knife. He looked inside to see the woman sitting on the couch watching the TV. Zsasz could sense something wasn’t right, but stepped into the apartment. The woman hadn’t moved. In two quick strides, Zsasz reached the couch, grabbed the woman by the hair and yanked her head back. He raised his knife, but then paused. The woman’s throat had already been slashed, with new stab wounds perforating her t-shirt. Zsasz let the woman’s hair go, letting her head fall limply against her chest. There was the sudden ringing of a cell phone. Zsasz looked around for a moment before realizing it was a flip phone clutched in the dead woman’s fingers. He pulled the phone out of her grip, flipped it open, and raised it to his ear. “Yes?” “Hello, Victor.” “Who the hell is this?” “Someone who wanted to ask you a question: What’s your favorite scary movie?” Zsasz scowled. “I’m not interested in games. If you killed my zombie you owe me a mark!” “I would have thought you’d like scary movies. Your obsession with murder and carnage. But then again guys like us prefer a more hands on experience, don’t we?” “Listen, piggie! I don’t let those shrinks in Arkham get in my head, so don’t think you have a chance. Where are you?!” “Oh I’m close. I’ve been getting to know you, Victor. That’s how I knew to get this apartment. I saw the way you looked at that couple in the restaurant. It was only a matter of time before you tried to liberate them.” Zsasz eyes darted around the room, the Saw movie still playing on the TV. “So now what? If you were wanting to stop me you could have jumped me while I was dealing with these two.” “I wouldn’t want to interfere with another man’s work. I would have let you kill them both but I wouldn’t want your lady friend to give away the surprise.” A closet door started to slowly open behind Zsasz. “And what kind of surprise is that?” “This one.” Zsasz whirled around to see a figured in black robes and a white scream mask armed with a knife leaping out of the closet. The knife caught Zsasz in the arm, but Zsasz was able to jump back and hold his own knife at the ready. “You think you can kill me? In that get up?!” “Consider it my coming-out party,” a modulated voice said. “My chance to show Gotham what a real killer looks like.” The two murderers circled the living room as the dead woman’s body slid off the couch onto the floor. “Then let’s see what you got!” Zsasz snarled. The movie played on as knives were raised into the air. “Let the game begin.” OK: Both combatants armed with knives. They are on the upper floor of an apartment building. Last one standing wins. Game On!

Need to get around to watching Avatar that everyone raves about.

In support of Bushroot, I will remind everyone that he can control plants and often turns them into minions and to remember that the platform they are fighting on is surrounded by plants. Not that Amingo still couldn't win, but I believe Bushroot could put in a good showing and score an upset.

Going with Okoye. Videos, as always helpful, with Black Noir who I am less familiar with.

Heh, so Kryptonians are trying to get their inner Viltrumite on? 😄 But yeah, the Kryptonians squash for Team 2 in the end.

Feel like Dooku and Ventress would take this just by what we have seen so far. Baylon would put up a pretty good fight but I think Dooku would prove superior. I think Shin is a great fighter but she seems like she hasn't really proved herself. It seems like she struggles against Sabine.

Stranded on Earth after a botched invasion attempt, Zog hides and kills to survive. Word of a monster killing innocents reaches Goliath and he seeks this menace out. When they meet there is no need for words.

Just wanted to do this match up because Baylan and Shin remind me of Dooku and Ventress for some reason. 2 on 2 match, who wins?

NEW CHARACTER RUMBLE! Three on Three battle. Duo Lon faces off against A.K.I Meanwhile Michale Burnham and Marrok are fighting Ladon and Prowl.

I'm going with Amingo too. Not even just because I put him in and am very glad that he's getting used. He was actually one of my favorite characters to use in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Astronema is a definite factor in this. but Madusa and Chloe with extra powers might be what's needed to put her down. I'm going to go with Astronema anyway because the other two teams can wear each other down allowing her to finish them off. Not sure how Willy Wonka contributes here.

I noticed a long time ago that Tremor has no record with surprised me. Against Ty Lee this should be his first win as well. Her chi blocking won't really get through his armored up state that he seems to always be in in later games.

I'd go for the Turtles here. J team could pull it off in a long campaign type deal like you have here but it's the Turtles' game to loose.

Yep, The Boys is another Amazon series I need to start watching. This is a good entry, Pizzaguy. Quite believable (and kinda amusing) that another entity wants to subjugate Wakanda to its will. From what I've about Homelander and co, though, they just might have the power to give it a very good try. As for the match, Black Noir looks to be stronger and faster than Okoye, but her armor could probably absorb a good deal of his blows, and her weapons could probably do some decent damage. Gotta think on this one.

Thanks, man! IDK, though; Jackie gave and took some pretty tough shots in the show, and Viper was even more agile than he was. Jade, Uncle, and Paco likely won't be fighting much, if at all. Also, this isn't just a straight fight. The main objective of both teams is to get/guard the sword, and both the Foot and the Shadowkhan being there will cause even more chaos. Yeah, Leo has the gauntlet to safely wield it, but who's to say that, say, one of the Foot, Shadowkhan, or even Viper or Jackie wouldn't snatch the gauntlet in all the confusion?

Nah, a good writing critique is always a good thing, IMO. The regulars of the old FPL section of the site actually often gave tougher critiques than you have so far, IIRC, but it was all for the betterment of the site's writing as a whole and the users' writing as well.

I'm kinda stumped on this one, especially between Ren and Swan. Both have super-speed, with Bella's own powers and the speed Kylo's acquired from Speedy Gonzales. One good hit from Bella could take Ren out, but the Force can probably protect him to an extent. Both would have a tough time landing a solid blow, considering Kylo's Force powers / Gonzales speed and Swan's apparently diamond-hard skin, speed, and Miss America flight.

Yep, Hawkgirl made short work of Jack and Gus, as predicted. Not sure MJ would've gone down quite that easily, though. From a pure physical and power standpoint, Chloe should have a pretty clear edge in this one. Medusa could still get into her head (and almost everyone else's, for that matter) with Sweet's and Sam's powers, though.

Hey, @RakaiThwei, my bad about not getting back to you right away. Was busy writing my latest match, which also just happens to be TMNT-related. As for new match-ups for the Mirage Turtles, why not go with more Street Fighter characters? You may not even have to use just the big-name fighters like Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li; there might also be plenty of interesting contests to be had with some of the less-established fighters, even if they're not as powerful as some of the fighters the Turtles have faced already. Also, I know you didn't like SF6, but some of the newer characters have proven to be ... interesting, to say the least.

I get it, I'll have to get back to this fight at some point and put in a better edited version.

3v3 Hell in a Cell Tornado Tag match at Wrestlemania. All three team members from either side must be pinned for the other to declare victory. Who wins??
