OMG...

That chess match is BAD-ASS and one of the best end fight scenes I have seen in my entire life!

Can't wait to see the final battle next part.

if i had to choose a villain to play, i would so play either bui or shinobu sensui from yu yu hakusho, or possibly the 1986 king of the fangires from kiva

I agree with the choices, but god damn it, bring a Kamen Rider into this brawl.

They've come close to that. Last year, they had Ultraman as a player during the Insane Chess match, coming out with Viewtiful Joe in the intro. Not sure who he fought against though.

Johnny where's the other half of this year's match?

**Shades** » 2011-07-07 01:33

I'll have it online as soon as I can. The video has been giving me issues uploading to Blip. I may have to split it into two parts on it's own if it doesn't co-operate.

How are the two characters from Gungrave considered monsters?

**Shades** » 2011-07-07 01:35

As Kain Put it in his introduction of them, the are Monsters by personality and behavior more than by appearance. Not every monsters has to be a hideous freak of nature.

There's only one thing missing from all this: the song "The Ultimate Showdown" playing in the background.

**Shades** » 2011-07-07 01:32

Oh god, that would be hilarious. It would have worked with last year's show even better.

**Hokutomaster916** » 2011-07-07 17:04

Well either way if you Kain really wanted to find a couple of monsters I would have picked Griffith from Berserk, and Nakago from FY

If I were in a Human Chess Match, i'd probably be the Shockmaster. I'm fat, know some wrestling, and have no real athletic or gymnastic skills.

Viewtiful Joe fought Hinata from Naruto, and Ultraman fought Maka from Soul Eater.

You can see the entirety of the 2010 match on djinnskirmishes account on Youtube. I did this morning and it was frakking awesome!

Yes, Djinn Productions, the guys who shoot the official footage for Metrocon, have 2009 and 2010 posted on their youtube page. Definitely look those up when you can. They're also posting 2011, but they don't have all the footage we do, plus they mostly used Day two, which, while had a more rehearsed cast, had Kain's shot voice, so it's a Trade off.

MAJIN BUU!?!? THEY COULD CHOOSE A FAR BETTER DRAGON BALL Z OR ANY OTHER AWESOME GOD AND THEY CHOSE BUU!?!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? DID THEY JUST DO COCAINE OR SOMETHING!?!?GOD!

This i have to admit was awesome the theme makes since her. i just wish they did this at the anime convention in my area. i had friends that went to it and when i asked them if they had one there, from what they said there wasn't one. I am talking with the anime otaku club at my school and brought up the idea of doing something like this for fun at school. still haven't gotten a reply on it.

on another note i would laugh if they did a Super sentai versus Power rangers match. that would be Epic.

Dude you can be any Fangire you want but if you become the spider Fangire, i am going to HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH. I can't stand that guy. The Fangire in the show was such a pedophile.
