(ROUND II: ROUND IX) The Grand Battling Ram

Dang it, I even thought of Blackwing Manor, that's what I get for trying to be too serious about it.

And the only reason I didn't go with Round Five: Round Six is that the disaster, absurdly largescale as it was, was basically averted in the end and also didn't have that much to do with the direct actions of the battlers.

I do not understand how dating works. Orchard full of ghosts is a positive right?

Apparently my idea of a date involves complete psychic baring, Ix, so

you're not alone

I mean, I'd love to take a date to watch Improv To The Death.

Round 3! By which point we're getting some glimpses into the assholes running the show.

Scores after Round 3:
Agent: 21
Akumu: 18
Dragon Fogel: 18
Garuru/Gatr: 19
Ix: 22
NTA: 19
Pinary: 22
Robust Laser: 25
Sanzh: 25
Slorange: 25
Solaris: 23

Honestly your guys' picks for most powerful grandmaster are hilarious, Fogel and Slorange are the only Objectively Correct ones.

Observer is a seeing-eye demigod, the Composer would outrank him but she's hooked up to afterlife support, and ok considering the Fool wrangles the clown car that is Season 3's cohort maybe he's decent. The Controller is a nerd though and I would shove him in all the lockers

Anyway! Round 4 is our penultimate round, with 7 questions, followed by Round 5 (the last round) with 8, just so you can gauge whose game it might be. You're probably going to need to bust out the wiki for this, because you've literally got hundreds of options for some of these questions. Up next.....

Round 4: Characters

Show Content

Spoiler9: Who is the greatest bearded swordsman?
10: Who is the sexiest contestant?
11: Which Grand Battle contestant would you go on a date with?
12: If you took every Round 1 Eliminee and put them in a cage match, who emerges victorious?
13: What is an appropriate number of eyes on an Anomaly-brand character?
14: Who is your favourite cross-continuity (appearing in both canon and noncanon works) character?
15: Who, among entrants in villain battles (SB, GBe, FE) is the least villainous?

Clarification for Question 14: "canon" battles are everything in seasons 1-3, everything else (Mini-grands, Grand Tweets, S!, Season Unknown, all the standalone stuff) is "noncanon".

At least one person who's submitted response already will need to send me in a different answer for that question. Thanks!

I have answered all of these questions with the utmost of speed and precision.

Round three in which I demonstrate my how little I am capable of following Grandmasterly shenanigans. Everyone pretend I thought Question 7 was which 'Grandmaster wears the most clothes?' please.

But wasn't that the other guy, the uh-

oh

ooooooh

nottles how dare you not vote your shitty son

Fogge was totally going to be my answer too, but I worried more people would think becoming a grandmaster later disqualified him. o well

That is exactly why I didn't pick him.

I guess I can take flattery as a compensation prize.

Ditto, especially since Frank was my second choice (but so many of my answers so far have been wicked narcissistic, so it felt doubly wrong).

I am passionate that Frank is the best grandmasterly aide. I will fight all of the rest of you I swear to god.

Sol, I am flattered, and I did consider it for a minute or two

but no

You say that like Akumu and I aren't fighting it out for last place.

theres only one winner, everyone else is a loser, this is literally how grand battles work

i mean right now it's a three-way between myself, slorange, and laser

One set of answers shy of posting Round 4's results!

Shit. I am shit.

On it right now assuming my phone doesn't die (on lunch rn)
