Good week to all of my viewers, and today we
go through the semi-finals of the tournament, and this shall be much faster
paced, not because I am rushing, but because we have already gone through all
of the character biographies, so there shall be a depth comparison between the
two competitors, and then the battle, and then the explanation of the winner.
We shall see Corvo Attano (Dishonored)
face agent 47 (Hitman: Absolution),
Alex Mason (Black Ops 2) face
Commander Shepard (Mass Effect 3),
Lord Regent (Dishonored) face Haythem
Kenway (Assassins Creed 3), and Vaas (Far Cry 3) face the didact (Halo 4). If you do not know about some
of these characters you may read their biographies in past articles.
ALEX MASON VS GENERAL SHEPARD
Alex Mason’s
traits are superior combat ability, great improvisation and resourcefulness,
and his ruthless dual personality. The small traits of Commander Shepard can
vary due to its Role Playing aspect; however he has very superior armor and
weapons, great leadership skills, and is a courageous hero. Shepard does
dominate when it comes to equipment; however that does not necessarily stop
Mason, because he defeated David Mason with inferior technology, however this
shall be a much more significant difference. I have reason to believe that Alex
Mason would be a somewhat better and more creative strategist, where as Shepard
comes across as a more militaristic leader and not so rogue.
FIGHT!
Alex Mason had,
like many times in his life, no idea where he was again, and all he saw was
numbers. It seemed that Reznov had led him into a much classified secret
facility where he found a time machine, and the numbers told him exactly what
time to jump ahead to. He was in the year 2186. Later on, a highly accommodated
spectre leader Commander Shepard was near earth when he received a distress
call from earth. He flew down to what looked like an abandoned facility in the
middle of nowhere. “Now Mason, you must take his ship and kill him” Mason heard
in his head. Shepard continued to walk
through high grass until he heard a metallic noise and a bear trap go around
the armor on his leg. His armor was only harmed, he used an outline scanner to
notice that there were traps like these everywhere, and it was apparent that
someone wanted him dead. He drew his weapon and continued walking, until he
stepped across a string, he looked up to discover many grenades falling down on
him. He jumped out of the way however it was too late, and his armor was
damaged near the point of useless. In a panic now he aimed everywhere until he
saw an outline behind a wall, as he approached it he began firing at it. As the
fire suppressed his noise Alex Mason moved closer to his position from where he
actually was, on the gigantic tree above. He jumped down with a bowie knife at
hand and landed on shepard, even stabbing through his armor and injuring him slightly.
Unfortunately Shepard was better trained in combat, and was stronger, so he
threw Mason off, and began to throw strikes and kicks beating Mason. He hit
Mason over and over again bruising his face until near unconsciousness, and
then shepard heard another metallic click, in which he saw that Shepard
unhooked three grenades attached to his chest, and he held onto shepard with
all of his might. Shepard shook and shook until he was able to draw his handgun
and blasted Mason off of him with a might. He jumped away just in time, and
Alex Mason was nothing left but some flesh. Commander Shepard went back into
his ship and flew en route to the council.
In some ways this
was not even fair, Shepard had advantages way beyond Mason, however despite
that Mason still made the battle relatively close, and him winning was a
reasonable possibility in my mind. Also shepard’s combat would be significantly
better due to futuristic training, health, and enhancers. Commander Shepard advances to the hero’s
finals.
CORVO ATTANO VS AGENT
47
These are two
similar competitors in terms of their tactics, they are both assassin like killers
who use stealth tactics to defeat their enemies. Agent 47 specializes in improvising
and can put almost any situation into advantage. He was a trained fighter from
birth and an expert due to his extra chromosome. He is also relatively
heartless. Corvo Attano uses stealth but is also an expert in combat, he also
has supernatural powers which improve his mobility to a supernatural level, and
he can also “force push” enemies.
FIGHT!
After Corvo Attano
killed Connor Kenway the mysterious entity spoke to him. “You have another opponent
to face, and we must have the very best assassin that we can in order to
fulfill our mission, good luck.” Corvo was then sent to a motel in the modern
day world, where agent 47 was situated due to a target call by a mysterious
order. He was mounted in the parking lot
with a sniper, waiting for his target that would apparently arrive in the
driveway. A very fascinated Corvo Attano entered and soon formulated that his
target was probably hiding. He used his supernatural heat vision and he saw
that his target was in the building. He began climbing up the building and
figured that the rooftop would be a superior vantage point. He saw his target
below him on the roof and blasted down through the roof for a surprise attack.
He lashed out his daggers however this target was more skilled than expected,
he blocked his attacks, disarmed one of his hands, and even got a few good hits
into Corvo’s mask. Corvo soon positioned himself parallel to the window, where
he pushed agent 47 out of the window using his powers. It looked as if the
target fell to his death; however once he looked over agent 47 put wire fiber
around Corvo’s neck, pulled him out of the window, and strangling him and
hanging him while he hung on with his other hand. Seconds from death, Corvo found a foothold
and used it to leap up with a special jump, and threw agent 47 to his death.
Corvo Attano escaped that scrape with a neck scratch and a partly destroyed face
mask.
The primary
reason why Corvo Attano won was because of his super natural powers and
abilities, giving him an edge over agent 47. He also used close ranged weapons
which held agent 47 at a disadvantage. Agent 47 was still a close match
however, with his tactical skills and superior combat skills. Corvo Attano
shall advance to the hero finals to face general shepard. Now it is time for
the villain semi-finals.
LORD REGENT VS HAYTHEM KENWAY
Lord Regent is a
very notorious land ruthless leader who would backstab anyone to get what he
wants. He is also a great plotter and can make complex plans, however he is not
great in general combat. Haythem Kenway is an expert fighter and stealth fighter,
he also is very clever. He has a clever manipulative way that makes people
follow his absolute will.
FIGHT!
Lord Regent has
come to a special portal where he found out that Corvo Attano went to that
leads to a secluded super natural location. Meanwhile Haythem Kenway was
pursuing Connor Kenway to a special temple of the ones who came before. He had
found a body with many flies and insects around it, and the body was wearing
assassin garb. “Rescuescat in pace my son.” At this moment lord Regent was
coming out of a place within the temple, seeing Haythem first he demanded “You!
Have you seen Corvo Attano?” “I don’t know who your bloody Corvo Tano is, but I
am not in the mood for folly, so do not embarrass yourself and leave you fool!”
Lord Regent drew a crossbow and fired at Haythem, which slightly amused Haythem,
and then he drew a pistol and shot Regent. Regent fell to the ground, and as
Haythem neared he was surrounded by armed guards, and Regent got up looking
unharmed. “Mesh plating under my clothes, now who is the fool, I have much more
important things to do so let’s have this be quick.” Haythem leisurely drew out
a smoke bomb and gassed everyone around. He drew out his blades and used his
eagle vision to spot out and assassinate the guards. It was only Regent left
once the smoke cleared with a sword, and the two began battling sword to sword.
Haythem soon used his sword to twist and disarm regent’s sword, and then Regent
grabbed both of his arms in attempts to subdue him. Haythem simply drew his
hidden blades into Regent’s hand making him yell in pain, he fell to the ground
and Haythem ended his life with a smooth stab to the neck. “My apologies
stranger, if I knew beating you would be that easy I would have fought you
unarmed.” Remembering the reason why he was there, and the loss of his son, he
went home silently.
This was actually not a hard battle at
all, while Lord Regent has the equal intelligence and tactical
recourse as
Haythem does, he is very, very inferior in terms of agility and combat. Haythem
Kenway is advancing to the villain finals.
VAAS VS THE DIDACT
Vaas is ruthless,
savage, and very intimidating, has pretty good combat skills and strategy. The
didact is very strong, very smart and tactical, and has telekinetic powers as
well as super vision. The didact is superior in almost every way; let us see if
Vaas can take him.
FIGHT!
After the didact
was defeated by the master chief he did not in fact die, for the particles of
his body reformed down on earth at a random point. This point was on an island.
He suddenly heard a voice “What is this, some kind of space monkey? Let’s take
him and see what this thing is.” Vaas said this from up on a hill, and four of
his men proceeded to walk toward the didact armed with machetes. “Come with us
and we won’t cut you like a dog.” The didact was amused by this threat and
instantly picked them all up and began strangling them with his telekinetic
power. “Foolish humans, you are as weak and pathetic as the ones before you.”
He dropped the four that died, and Vaas was now on the move. Vaas hiding
amongst the trees was pulled out by the didact. “I can see all that you do with
my vision; I can see your heat.” “Well how about you taste some freaky bastard.”
He lit a match and dropped it, and while the small fire distracted him Vaas was
just able to escape, and get his flame thrower. The entire section of the
jungle lit up into flames. “This is my island, my hell, and you are going to
burn as it burns. The didact began walking as his armor went on completely. “A
simple raise in temperature, heavy vibration of molecules, cannot stop the
forerunners.” The fire had no effect on his armor. A frustrated Vaas got out
his knife, and tackled him from behind with it and proceeded to slide his knife
across his throat. Before it got all the way, or even too deep, the didact
grabbed his arms, and with surprising extreme strength pulled his arms away,
then took Vaas’ neck with one arm and raised him in the air choking him to
death. “Too bad I have to kill you, you were almost the most formidable human I
have ever met, and you do not even wear green armor.” Vaas fell to the ground,
and the didact snapped his neck with his powers, however he was wounded badly,
and it was very close that he got out of it.
The didact’s
greatest weakness is being ambushed with extreme power, and this is the
guerilla warfare style that a slaver like Vaas would use. That is why he nearly
one. He lost because of so many other factors, the didact has extremely strong
armor, is extremely strong, can use telekinetic powers, etc. The didact is
moving to the finals of the villain’s side against Haythem Kenway.
Next week’s
article shall be the big one. Not only will the winners be found between the
heroes and villains, but those champions shall also fight to see who was the
greatest of 2012. In the finals General Shepard shall face Corvo Attano, and
Haythem Kenway shall face the didact. See you all next week!
