Battle! Simon vs Sigma

Notice: The previous battle, "Seymour vs. Seifer" has not been closed. It will remain open until saturday, most likely. I am testing out an "overlapping" technique to see if it increases activity on this board.

Arena: Flash Column - A 200 foot long cylindrical steel silo, about 75 feet in diameter. The column is filled with platforms, wall-mounted flame jets, shock pads, spiked walls, trap-doors and even more deadly devices. The entire structure is held on a giant hydraulic arm, and at three different stations on the inside, the position of the column can be manually switched from vertical to horizontal or diagonal. Each station can only be used once per battle.

In the Red Corner, wearing a curiously pink-ish set of armor. Loaded up with Holy Water, Crosses, Torches, a tremendous cache of whips and flails, and the 1999 Fabio lookalike first place trophy! Dracula's worst nightmare, the legendary vampire hunter, from Castlevania: Simon Belmont!!!

And in the Blue Corner, sporting the shiniest chrome dome this side of Captain Picard! Equipped with his personal laser sabre, head mounted energy-cannon, wall-jumping and super speed capabilities, and his beloved cyber-dog! The leader of the Maverick Reploids, the psychotic android tyrant, from Mega Man X: Sigma!!!

These two combatants hail from worlds as different as night and day. One is a hero to the people of his medieval homeland, the other is a genocidal cyborg from a distant future. Will Simon's resoursefullness leave Sigma in pieces, or will the tyrant's destructive weaponry leave the legendary Belmont as nothing but a blob of smoldering pulp? It's time to make your choices...
