A refresher on the endgame rules:


Semi-Finals:
Once the RR is done, the top 4 teams with the best RR records will break into a double elimination tournament. There's 4 slots in the bracket. The top slot will be with the person that has the best record. The 3rd will be the person with the 2nd best record. The 3rd and 4th follow the 1st and 2nd respectively. So:

Best.
4rd best.
----------
--
2nd best.
3th best.

Though by default the top ones are attackers, they may choose to pass. Normal pass rules apply for everyone.

Winners will fight each other for their 2nd win. Winner moves on to the finals.
Loser of bottoms will fight each other. Loser is eliminated.

The one who won their first match will then assume to be attacker for the winner of their 2nd (can pass, etc). Winner of that goes to the finals.


Finals:

The person who went 2-0 in the tourney will choose attacker or defender for R3 at the start of the finals. Double elimination style again.

R1: Attacker
R2: Defender.
R3: Whatever was chosen.

There will be no passing here. Straight matches.
The winner of that will be the one who can call this domination.

4rd
3th

Man. The "Semi-Finals" structure is not the whole rest of the thing, but instead we get to see the top two fight 2-3 more times

Freakin great.

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

the winner will truly be the one who could stand mercs the longest

Now with more bold! Less Italics due to bold

Seriously who let that happen

How about the top 4 unanimously decide to scrap the "finals" section and make the double elimination tournament the end of it? I mean really now.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

So just to sort this convoluted stupidity out, when Chris beats me and Drak beats Silver, Chris will then fight Drak for a finals spot, and then I will fight Silver for the other finals spot? Do I have this right?

--
We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

Chris will fight Drak, winner gets a finals spot. Loser of Chris/Drak fights the winner of DC/Silver for the second spot.

Loser of Chris/Drak will be attacker in the final match of the semis

Nah it's a standard double elimination, just worded poorly. I'll try to break down the Wanginess.

Winners will fight each other for their 2nd win. Winner moves on to the finals.

So the guy who wins both matches goes to the finals-- this is the only part that reads properly in one go.

Loser of bottoms will fight each other. Loser is eliminated.

The two losers battle, the loser is eliminated. Straightforward though "losers of bottoms" is lol.

The one who won their first match will then assume to be attacker for the winner of their 2nd (can pass, etc). Winner of that goes to the finals.

The won who won the first match faces the one who won the second match-- in other words, the two 1-1 guys face off, winner goes to the finals.

I only barely remember the drama involved in setting the endgame but I blame ffdragon for all of this

Seriously guys the power is yours. If you unanimously vote to just make this end with the double elimination tournament HGR will cut the last phase out!

Do it for crissakes.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Hell better yet vote to make it a single elimination tournament.

Lay this beast to rest.

why make it a tournament

Now with more bold! Less Italics due to bold

also the full plan in case anyone was interested -


1 - Alucard will fight for the opposing team. You can pick someone from that team to replace him, though. This counts as a possession.

2 - Alucard has left his team for the day. How odd. Later... Mysterious stranger Genya Arikado has visited the enemy base! Everyone enjoys his company... but after he leaves, they notice 1 to 7 GP (rolled randomly) is missing. He cannot steal more money than they have (e.g., stops at 0GP, can't steal if they don't have money), and Alucard will give this money to the leader of the team he was on. The exception to this is if Alucard somehow gets this option against his team: Alucard always plans with them in mind, and will always refuse to steal from them.

3 - Alucard will install X's Suffering Circuit from the Test Run into a random enemy fighter, giving them a 10% chance to refuse to be rostered which can be increased and decresed via these conditions:
For every Villainous fighter on your side, this chance rises by 10%
For every Heroic fighter on your side, this chance decreases by 20%
For every Villainous fighter on your opponent's side, this chance decreases by 10%
For every Heroic fighter on your opponent's side, this chance will increase by 20%
This chance will increase/decrease by 25% if a KO or Kidnapping hits an enemy/ally respectively, regardless of the source (e.g., self-team KO) although self-KOs don't count.

4 - Alucard will pull out a weapon currently available to him with the "Shield Rod" effect, and give one pre-selected fighter on his team one layer of KO protection (though this doesn't undo any KOs used against them previously). Alucard will bring this weapon with him to battle. This does not take up a customization slot. If he has already selected this particular weapon and his customization is bolded, Alucard will randomize the remaining weapon.

5 - Alucard will be accompanied by Maria the moment this option is rolled, and will join him in any side topics or battle topics like an assist. If Alucard is removed, so too is Maria. Maria's as seen in her playable SotN form. The form will default to the PSP SoTN version, however you may select her from the Saturn version as well. She cannot go invincible.However, she will leave after 3 minutes to go look for Richter.

Maria is as she appears in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the <SYSTEM HERE>. She has access to her best non-broken equipment, all of her "sub-weapons," (if PSP: though she cannot use her Turtle Item Crash). She cannot go invincible.

6 - Alucard will be joined by his friends. Though he cannot use his Customization today, he will be able to magically switch places Julius Belmont and Yoko Belnades at will during the battle. All three of them are in their DoS playable forms, with all the attacks (sub-weapons included), weapons, and equipment used therein. All three fighters share the same "health bar", so to speak, so killing one kills them all and switching does not magically heal them.

Alucard, Julius Belmont, and Yoko Belnades are as they appear in Julius Mode of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. They have all of their attacks (sub-weapons included), weapons, and equipment used in the game.

7 - Bloody Tears will play loudly throughout the entire match. Additionally, whenever an opponent speaks they will somehow do so in SoTN-style voice acting.

8 - Alucard steals a sole customization option (weapons only, from their base customization list) from an opposing fighter (the choice of both Merc and custom is preselected), preventing them from using it and letting Alucard use it in today's battle. If the opposing Merc already selected that customization, Alucard cannot take it.

9 - Alucard challenges a random opposing fighter to a GameFAQs Character Battle poll. A side topic is made asking voters who would win in a sitewide character battle. The loser is KOed.

10 - Alucard will be riding a generic Mario Kart vehicle during this fight. This vehicle has additionally found an item box!

There is a 20% chance that Alucard will find a Green Shell. He'll save this for later, and it will go into the "Other" section as one of his items...

There is a 20% chance Alucard will find a Banana peel. When "fired" the Kart will either launch of leave behind... well, a banana peel.

There is a 10% chance Alucard will find a Mega Mushroom! When "fired" Alucard and his Kart will grow to 2x their size for a minute.

There is a 10% chance Alucard will find Lightning! Though the Lightning will not do any damage, when "fired" it will shrink whoever it hits to half their size for a minute.

There is a 10% chance Alucard will find a Bob-omb. When "fired" the Kart will leave a bomb that will explode either in 10 seconds or if somebody comes in contact with it.

There is a 10% chance Alucard will find Boo (the ghost not the hamster). When "fired" Alucard and his Kart will be invisible for the following 30 seconds.

There is a 10% chance that Alucard will find a Red Shell. He'll save this for later, and it will go into the "Other" section as one of his items...

There is a 5% chance that Alucard will find a Blue Shell. He'll save this for later, and it will go into the "Other" section as one of his items...

There is a 5% chance that Alucard will find the other Boo, the hamster. Alucard will spin out of control as it latches onto his face and be KO'd. Fortunately a preselected ally or enemy fighter may ride the Kart instead, and may roll this ability again. Boo (the actual merc) being in this match has no impact on the real merc or on this ability.

11 - Alucard throws the Shell. Before he does so however, his leader will be able to use those "Shell items" as he sees fit, and enhance it by the following methods:

Red Shell: Due to the homing properties of the Red Shell, one preselected merc eligible to be hit by the Shell will be omitted from the list. Only one Red Shell per team may be used.
Blue Shell: Alucard may KO a preselected Shell-target. Only one Blue Shell may be used at a time.
Green Shell: It's now a 20% chance per KO. For each additional Green Shell, the effect will increase by 10%.

12 - Alucard will give his good friend, Segata Sanshiro, a call! Alucard will get his Alucard Spear, and the Segata Sanshiro theme will be playing nonstop. Alucard will be able to, at one point in the match, say the words "Gate of Plan" and a mystical gate will appear behind him. 16 Alucard Spears will be fired from it at a rapid pace, however this gate can only be opened once, and if Alucard cannot speak for some reason (e.g., Felix) he cannot activate it.

13 - Aeon from Castlevania Judgment will appear for no reason and mess with time just because. Alucard will be in his Castlevania Judgment form, and a random enemy Merc will be de-aged to 10 years old, with their personality reflecting this.


14 - Alucard calls his father's interior decorator. The terrain will be filled with 20-30 floating candles. Once these candles are destroyed, they may drop a roasted turkey, which restores health, hearts, which restore magic power, and money, which... does nothing, really. Tragic Prince will also play non-stop throughout the battle.

I'm actually fine with the endgame format (although it's written like...well, like Wang wrote it). The finale being drawn out to three matches seems entirely unnecessary, though. Just one and done it, dammit

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Axl copies SNK Boss Syndrome. Capcom just made their bosses -that- hardcore.
