Match #88

The Question: Which princess is better?

The Fighters: Peach vs. Zelda
The Arena:Pokemon Stadium
Item Ratio: Medium
Lives: Four

Saiyaman: (Listening to some music on headphones, eyes closed, and singing along.) Together, we can overcome all the odds, it's never as hard as it seems. Everyone can do something special. The secret is sharing our dreams...

Amber: (Curled up and sleeping on a crate.)

Saiyaman: (Still singing.) We all bring out the best things in each other, together we are stronger than anyone else could be on their own. (Opens his eyes.) So much better than...alone...oh, shoot, I thought the match wasn't for another fifteen minutes!

(One moment of scrambling and composture regaining later...)

Saiyaman: Hi there, everyone! Welcome to another exciting match!

Amber: (Still asleep.)

Saiyaman: Eh, I'll let her sleep. Guess I'll need a new co-commentator.

175: (Leaps in.) This looks like a job for me!

Saiyaman: ...what the heck, beggers can't be choosers. Well, let's get to the backstory. (Pops in the tape.)

(On the tape, we can see Mario and Peach out with Zelda and Link on a double date.)

Peach: Wasn't this a good idea to go on a double date?

Zelda: Sure was! It's too bad we're so busy ruling our kingdoms.

Peach: Yeah. I heard what Ganon did to Hyrule last time. Made a real mess of it.

Zelda: Yeah, the guards were busy all night cleaning up. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen guards at your place.

Peach: Bleh, my Toad guards are kinda useless.

Zelda: Is that why you get kidnapped all the time?

Peach: You're not one to talk. Somebody seems to nab you all the time.

Zelda: At least I know magic, so I can at least hold my own for a bit!

Peach: I can kick butt just as well as you can, missy!

Zelda: Fine then, why don't we go to the arena and see who's better?

Peach: Fine, I'll see you there!

(Peach and Zelda storm off.)

Link: Sooooooo...what now?

Mario: A game of Ms. Pac-Man?

Link: You're on!

(End of tape.)

Saiyaman: Isn't that lovely? Today, we're going with a standard Stock Match with four lives. The items are set on medium and all items are on. The arena of choice is Pokemon Stadium.

175: I do believe that our fighters are entering the arena, so I guess we'd better get started.

Saiyaman: Right. Ladies and germs, boys and girls, children who shouldn't be within fifty miles of here...

175: SSS is bringing you (because nobody else will take us)...

Saiyaman: THE NC OF DBZ, SAIYAMAN!

175: A BISHOUNEN-WANNABE, 175!

Saiyaman: You're not pretty enough to be a bishounen.

175: I have the angst.

Saiyaman: Hmm, good point.

Both: YOUR SSS COMMENTATORS!

175: And now, for the fifty-seven thousand in attendence...

Saiyaman: And for the one-hundred thousand watching world-wide...

175: EXCELSIOR!

Saiyaman: It looks like a strong start as Peach pulls out a Vegetable and Zelda uses Din's Fire! Zelda's attack connects, but Peach smacks Zelda with the veggie!

175: Peach tries her Peach Bomber, but Zelda is just out of range, leaving Peach open to several attacks from Zelda!

175: Say, how about we throw in another item?

Saiyaman: No prob. (Throws in a crate one-handed.)

175: Show-off.

Saiyaman: Go, upper-body strength!

175: Whatever. Anywho, Shiek has just used that crate as a projectile and it's connected with Peach, sending her flying out of the arena! That makes this her last life!

Saiyaman: Peach pops back in on the revival platform and picks up the Green Shell that came out, while Shiek has the Ray Gun!

175: Peach hurls the Green Shell, which connects while Shiek was distracted with the Ray Gun! Shiek picks herself back up and fires a few pot-shots with the Ray Gun, none of which work since Peach was shielding!

Saiyaman: Peach takes advantage by slamming into Shiek with the Peach Bomber, causing Shiek to drop the Ray Gun! Shiek tries to slam Peach with her Whip, but Peach uses Toad to shield against the blows and counter-attack!

Toad: Ow, ow, ow! What'd I ever do to deserve this?

THIS GAME'S WINNER IS...ZELDA!

Saiyaman: Let's go down to Navi who's with the winner. Navi?

Navi: Thanks, Saiyaman. What are your thoughts on the match, Zelda?

Zelda: That wasn't too hard. It just proves that Peach is a wuss.

Navi: I see. Peach, your thoughts?

Peach: If she didn't have that magic of hers, I woulda beaten her easy!

Navi: Mario? Link? Your thoughts?

Mario: I-a got the high-a score on Ms. Pac-Man!
