Battle! Dante vs. Squall

Arena: The Wastes - A rough, mutated, hardpan desert-like landscape stretching on endlessly. Giant malformed buttes, deep (seemingly bottomless) cracks overflowing with a sickly green light, a few widely spaced stunted forms of freakish plant life litter the plains. A grey, completely overcast sky blankets all that can be seen. Imagine what Nevada would look like if bombarded with a full-blown nuclear/chemical assault.

In the Red Corner, sauntering into the arena with too much confidence for any mortal creature. Armed with a cache of firearms (some legal, many most certainly not), a seemingly endless supply of ammunition, and a collection of swords built to cleave demons in twain. The crimson-coated slayer of fiends, the silver-tongued rogue with a smartass quip for every occasion, the anti-hero of Devil May Cry: Dante!!!

And in the Blue Corner, muttering a "whatever" under his breath. Armed with his trusty Gunblade, Renzokuken Limit Attacks and a constant "what's up his ass?' attitude. The SeeD extraordinaire, the Garden Cadet turned Sorceress-Slayer, the reluctant hero of Final Fantasy 8: Squall Leonhart!!!

Bullets shred the air, blades rend the sky, blood dots the earth!! Will Squall acquire another unsightly scar, or will Dante find himself nothing more than fodder for the almighty Lionheart? You will be the jury. Make your decisions...
