That hospital is getting filled up with fighters pretty quickly, lol.
Not to mention the morgue.

Squash for team one, no doubt

Crossovers are my jam. SM does win this though because her power is kinda broken

Awesome set up, I really think this would be a fun match to watch unfold; good match up! Let's not forget that Bane is probably the more experienced fighter in general, League training in mind. If Bane could beat Batman 1 v 1, I feel he's more than a match for the Persian Prince.
Giving his experience, I would have to agree with you. It can definitely go either way here but he doesn't have the experience of fighting the Prince and that leaves him exposed to his weakness. Glad you liked the set up.

This is a good part and built up really well. Nicely done.
Bison wins this 6/10 for me. It's really close but his psycho power really gives him that slight edge. He doesn't have a weapon like Siege, but I don't think it will hurt him too bad.

J.R: Got something witty to say this time, Gex? You have to decided to shut the hell up?
Gex: Oh no! Have you seen Callisto before? I wouldn't cross her for a triple dog dare. I prefer to keep my manhood attached.
J.R: Afraid it won't grow back?
Gex: 😱

Gex: And just like that, the guy with a bow and arrow loses. That was TOTALLY unexpected!
Oswald: Perhaps not the most exciting way to kick off the show. But cheer up fellas. This next one will sure be swell. We have-
Gex: A vampire versus a man with daddy issues. Where have I seen this before? Should make a fun 2D fighter though.
J.R: They surely not wasting any time getting to the ring. I didn't even see Alucard enter the arena. That may pose a problem for Jin Kazama in this contest.
Gex: Good luck, my beautiful fuck boi.

With his celestial form, he'd have plenty of power to take the creature down.
-
I'm sure Green Arrow could win this because he's clever but idk if he has the kind of fire power to put Hawkman down. I'm under the impression Hawkman is strong and often overlooked in DC.
-
A busy crowd enters the arena and fills the air with excitement. They can't help but cheer.
BOOM *fireworks*
BOOM *fireworks*
Gex: Can you believe it ladies and gentlemen!? We finally made it to the extravaganza slam-a-bama honky-tonk world wide engine that keeps this lizard paid and fed. That's right, it's the official start of the 3rd Annual Grand Cross-Galactic Budokai Tenkaichi! And I apologize for the ridiculous name, Oswald wouldn't let me change it.
Oswald: It's a legacy, Gex.
Gex: Didn't you hear me when I said third annual? This show isn't even older than Netflix, bruh.
Oswald: Well you may have a point. Anyway folks, it is an honor and privilege to be presenting this year's show. I worked harder than anyone in Verse City to see this happen and I know our competitors have worked just as hard. Boy, I can't wait to see the action!
JR: Absolutely Mr. Oswald. I couldn't say it better myself!
Gex: Jim Ross? We really doing a three man booth? This ain't AEW, ya know.
Oswald: Let's not get distracted. The audience wants this short so let's get to it. Jim, if you please?
JR: We have five rounds to look forward to. 32 competitors fight for the goal of getting their wish granted by Verse City's Eternal Dragon. Our rules remain the same as last year and so does our ring. Speaking of which, our first competitors are entering now so let's let them do their thing

Three strikes followed by a final blow to the chest sent the Prince hard into the coliseum wall. Blackness surrounded his eyesight as he struggled to catch his breath.
“Any final words before I end this?” Yamcha stood over him, pressing the tip of his scimitar into the Prince’s neck.
“Please, Yamcha, you must listen.” The Prince’s voice rang low among the noise of the battle and the crowd.
“I don’t know how you know my name but do you really think I’d listen to you after what you did to Puar? I don’t think so.”
“You don’t know me, at least not here. I’m the Prince of Persia, we were compatriots-”
“Funny story pal but I don’t remember you or whatever Persia is. I don’t have time for this, I have a battle to win.” Yamcha reared back this blade, ready to deal the final blow.
“I can make you rich.”
Yamcha’s arm froze. “Rich?”
Same naive Yamcha. The Prince had used the same tactic before to recruit him for the Army of Light. Let's hope this time works just as smoothly.
“Yes, beyond anything you can imagine.”
Instead of his blade, Yamcha offered a hand. “Deal.”
The Prince accepted the hand. "Really? I didn't think you'd agree so quickly."
"Well Prince of Persia," said Yamcha. "I'm not sure if you've noticed but we don't really have the time to discuss the details. If you make me rich then I guess I don’t really need to be here."
He was correct. This arena was still filled with blood thirsty killers and monsters. Any one of them could turn their sights onto them in an instant. The Prince regained his dagger and asked "I agree. But why are we here at all? I have no recollection of coming here."
Yamcha pointed to the top of the coliseum. “He brought us here.” There stood a throne taller than several of the rows together. In it sat a man larger than life. A god.
"Verethragna…" the Prince was in awe. He had seen much on his adventures. He even laid witness to Kingdom Hearts reformed from its scattered shards. But this was surely a new experience.
Verethragna, the deity of victory and war. There he sat solemn and watched the battle unfold.
“We must work together if we are to survive,” said the Prince. Yamcha nodded in agreement. The two raced to where Puar had fallen, only to find him buried in the sand, his tail poking out in an attempt to hide. Yamcha yanked his friend loose.
"Yamcha!" Puar said in surprise, hugging his friend.
"Are you okay?"
"I'll be ok-EIPP!" Puar jumped back at the sight of the Prince. "He's the one who attacked me!"
The Prince swiftly apologized. But before they could talk further, the trio found themselves surrounded. Gladiators and beasts on all sides, Yamcha and the Prince stood back-to-back.
"Stand back Puar. We can handle this." The cat gave no argument.
"Got any ideas?" Yamcha asked.
The Prince looked to the Dagger of Time. It had plenty of sand left inside, refilled from the rewind. He would still need to use it sparingly, but now seemed as good a time as any. The gladiators lunged and he froze them in time. The Prince made short work of his enemies, moving as if he were Death himself, cleaving through them with his eagle sword.
When time resumed, Yamcha and Puar were stunned to find the gladiators were cut to ribbons. “What the-?” Yamcha asked, “What happened? What did you do?”
The Prince couldn't help but smile. “I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but we don’t really have the time to discuss the details."
“I’m with him, Yamcha. He’s amazing!” Puar cheered.
“Calm down Puar. It was just some trick--”
BOOM! A tremendous sound shook the coliseum. It took a moment for the Prince to realize that it wasn’t thunder, but the voice of Verethragna speaking from his throne.
“That is enough,” the god figure raised his hand to signal the end of the battle. “Stand before me for judgement.”
The trio could see that only they remained standing. Guess that made them the winners.
“Do you think we won, Yamcha?” Puar asking the same question on his mind.
“We’ll find out soon enough,” Yamcha answered, sheathing his sword.
“What happens if we win?” The Prince asked as they approached the front gate of the coliseum, just below the God’s throne.
“He’ll grant us one wish. Anything we desire,” Yamcha said with a perverted grin. Prince could see he was staring at the menagerie of beautiful and exotic women standing around Verethragna. The bandit gets one wish and it’s for a woman. The Prince wanted to judge, but he had thought the same way once before.
Right now, however, he needed to not waste this gifted time with formalities. The Prince stepped forward, "Mighty Verethragna, I wish to speak."
“Hey man, what are you doing?” Yamcha asked.
His question ignored, the Prince continued. “This contest is over. We would like our wish granted.”
The god leaned forward, making sure to get a good look at the Prince. “You smell of ancient magic, mortal. What have you tampered with?”
Well this wasn’t going to go well. "I come from a time of great peril, my Lord. I plead that you aid us, so we may save the multiverse together."
"I have no interest in your cause," Verethragna spat. "My people wish to see one more bout and I shall satisfy them. Face my Champions and test your will to be truly victorious.”
The god gestured with a flick of his wrist and the gate opened. A bright light revealed two figures. One a hulk, the other a small girl.
"Well, that went well. Thanks buddy," Yamcha was none too happy but he got into a fighting stance all the same.
The champions entered the arena, gate locking behind them.
Prince recognized one champion immediately.
Bane.
Venom serum surging into his neck and spine, his outfit changed to reflect his status as a champion of the god of war but still resembled his look of a goon for the Army of Darkness. Of course, Bane would be here. Nothing had to be easy.
The girl he didn't recognize. She looked young for a warrior though. Her features were soft under a partially armored body piece and garments. She brandished twin blades and had the look of determination and seriousness. Maybe she was more dangerous than she appeared. Hopefully Yamcha could deal with her.
"Think you can do that thing again?" Yamcha asked, trying to hide his nervousness.
The Dagger of Time held the sands of time in its hilt. Though much of the hilt was still full, there was no guarantee that he could fill it again on his journey. He couldn't afford to use it now. "It has its limits. I'll take Bane, I've faced him before."
"Trust me, if you'd had faced me before. You'd be dead," Bane looked forward, tossing an unconscious beast to the side with ease.
"Yeah. Okay. You deal with him."
Thanks Yamcha.

Been awhile, Russ.
Good set-up. Looks like this story you were working on may make a good arc.
As for the match, looking up the Prince, I'd say he could likely give DB Yamcha a good fight, especially if he could get his hands on his Dagger. Since this is Yamcha as the desert bandit, the Prince may have a time convincing him they're on the same side, let alone convincing him to get on the straight-and-narrow path to assist him.
Yeah it's certainly been a minute. Glad I could whip something up for y'all, even if it isn't much.

Nice to see my man, Meat get some love in another contest. I think he's a fun character overall.
And yeah, this is a weird fight but I feel that it fits the vibe. I enjoyed this setup.
Given this is MK rules of combat, I'll give it to Meat for the slight advantage.

Zasalamel, given what I've seen of gameplay, is probably the better fighter and has the stronger stats/feats. I like his style and would give him my vote here
-
The question of who punches harder. Yang and Luigi can both take enormous punishment. Luigi does have additional skills and powers that give him an edge but idk if all of that can really apply here.
Yang has a decent shot but that 5 minute limit may hurt her.
-
Cool idea for a fight and I think each of them are unique. I do think Te Ka is too powerful for them and will just slap them out of existence.
-
Oswald: Good golley gosh folks. What a round! We made it to the final qualifier. What do you think, Gex?
Gex: Shiiiiit. Yang can really throw down. I felt the heat over here!
Oswald: She gave it her all. And so did Luigi. Both have made their way to the arena and have brought their a-game.
Gex: Let's get it on!

Yes absolutely correct, have enough to extend our community for another year, we'll see where we land after that.
The new domain has already been put up and while the servers are not put up to reflect that, I'm just waiting on the image as each day I purchase in advance is a day way lose near the end. I'd like to try and put it online as close to May 2nd as comfortably possible. That said the Gofundme is still up and all funds will go into a side account to put towards the future of CBUB. Let's not say our goodbyes just yet

Went with Reptile, just thought it was amusing that they both had the same dominant color considering how different their characters are.
They are very different but sometimes that be how it happens in a tournament. Luigi fights in Smash so I guess that game has even crazier crossover fights.
That said, I like Luigi's chances considering he's composite here.

The shit is winding down!
I love how you capture the fighting game tone. Really enjoyable.
I like the setup, the scenario feels natural to the story. I've never been a huge fan of Guile so I'm pulling for Cass.

Great to see you making a match, SSJRuss. Very intrigued with what you are putting together here, definitely leaving the door open to do whatever you want really. I just recently purchased the big Kingdom Hearts mix of games because I have not yet played any of them.
As for the match, I know it is hard for some people, including myself to judge Yamcha objectively and not as the comic relief butt of jokes that he became. He is obviously very skilled and the Wolf Fang Fist is no joke. I assume that this is Dragonball Yamcha before the endless power boosts of DBZ to put them at comparable strength levels. I am still going with the Prince who has the added advantage of remembering fighting alongside Yamcha which would give him some familiarities with Yamcha's go to techniques.
Appreciate the love. This is something I wrote back in November and figured I could divide it up into matches on CBUB. Let's me feel like I'm at least doing something productive in the writing world.
But yeah, it's Yamcha from early DB. Think bandit Yamcha before his formal training.
And yeah that's a good point. The Prince does know Yamcha and his skills. He may not be as strong but that experience gives him the edge.

The Prince limped down the corridor, blood soaked and dagger at the ready. The palace guards laid in a pile behind him. Any other day he may have reconsidered killing them, but time was not on his side. Not anymore.
The Army of Light failed. The Darkness and their leader, Kazuya Mishima, opened the door to Kingdom Hearts and wielded it. All of reality was being rewritten and remade. World by world, the darkness of that man’s heart consumed everything. If not for the Dagger of Time, the Prince would not have survived.
Now he was the last one left. Outrunning the corruption of the multiverse to make it here for a final chance to save it all.
The Hourglass of Time.
He pushed his weight against the heavy doors, revealing the chamber room before him. The Hourglass stood alone and unguarded, filled with the magical Sands of Time. He wasn’t too late, he realized. The Prince approached the mantle of the hourglass and carefully slid the Dagger of Time into a mechanism, turning the dagger like a key. It worked immediately, the sands glowing and filling the room with its temporal energy.
The Prince thought of his fallen comrades. Fighting Organization XIII with Yamcha and Gex. Collecting the Shards of the Hearts with Mao Mao and Polnareff. Taking the last stand alongside Captain Carter and Superman against the Army of Darkness… so much had happened. So much loss. Now was the time to save them, to stop this dark present from ever happening. With these images in mind, The Prince of Persia activated the Great Rewind. The hourglass shuddered, the sands of time shattering in an instant across the multiverse, turning back time before Kingdom Hearts was opened. Before the Eternity War. Before--
I Don't Want To Die, So I'll Use Up My Sands Of Time
Part 1
The Prince wasn’t sure his plan worked until he woke, finding himself lying face down and covered in sand. The taste of grit and dehydration in his mouth, he spit out sand and struggled to his feet. Instinct kicked in and he clutched his dagger. Still at his side as was his eagle sword. No blood or battle scars. Time heals all wounds.
He got to his feet only to find that something was clear. He was standing in the middle of a battle. Surrounding him was an arena larger than he’d ever seen. Rows of seats filled by a roaring crowd. Millions watched the carnage as warriors plated in silver, brass and gold filled the field around him, fighting with weapons from different eras and worlds. They clashed with great beasts, demons, and each other. The Prince recognized this as a gladiatorial arena, something not uncommon in his time.
But how could this be? He’d never been here in his life. The sands should have only reversed time, not change it completely...
SWISH! An enemy blade caught the Prince’s cheek before he could evade the worst of it. He rolled into his warrior stance, ready for the next attack. His assailant wore heavy Grecian armor and brandished a cutlass bigger than the Prince was tall.
“Have at thee,” the Grecian boasted, swinging the sword again.
This was not what the Prince had in mind when he set out to save the multiverse. He did not need to be here but looking to rebuild the Army of Light. He needed to collect the pieces of Kingdom Hearts before the hands of evil could have the chance.
SWISH! Unfortunately all of that would have to wait. The Prince found the attack was easy to dodge as the Grecian had terrible form and a sluggish swing. He didn’t even need to manipulate time, leaping behind the Grecian and slashing the exposed skin between his armor. The Grecian gave a high pitched yelp and fell to the ground, defeated.
Maybe this won’t be so hard after all. Best I take my leave while I have the chance.
POOF! Smoke covered the fallen Grecian, revealing a blue cat underneath.
Is that-
“Puar!?” The familiar name registered in his mind as someone shouted. The Prince turned to see the desert bandit, Yamcha quickly dispatching a gladiator on his way to his friend’s side.
“Yamcha?” asked the Prince, hoping the bandit would recognize him. The two had served in the Army of Light and had become close before-
“You hurt my best friend, you bastard!”
Of course Yamcha wouldn’t know him now. That was a future that may never occur. Only the Prince would remember.
“I’m sorry, I did not know--” the Prince reached to activate the Dagger of Time, reversing this encounter, but Yamcha reacted first. He tackled the Prince and sent the two of them rolling through the sand. They exchanged blows until eventually separating and getting to their feet.
“Yamcha please, we don’t have to do this-” The Prince pleaded to no avail. Yamcha’s bond with Puar was much stronger than any they shared. The Prince activated his dagger. Or he would have if he hadn’t dropped it in the sand when they were rolling. The hesitation cost the Prince, as Yamcha rushed him, "How about you taste my Wolf Fang Fist!”

3rd Grand Cross-Galactic Budokai Tenkaichi R1 M2 - Jin Kazama vs. Alucard Tepes
in CBUB Unrated Rumbles
Posted
Having seen Castlevania, I'm convinced Alucard is faster and deadlier than Jin. I like Jin, but I don't think anyone in Tekken can compete on the same level as Alucard. Maybe Devil Jin? Maybe.
