A bundle of microphones are being shoved in your face. For a second you consider giving up the whole truth - you've been warned that you won't win because you won't cut a deal - but you have no proof. You brush past them.

Erich is waiting, arms crossed, looking like a romance novel cover. You extend a hand.

"Let's have a good match."

He gives you a charming smile and puts out a hand, dwarfing yours in his handshake.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Anon," he says. His accent's bad, but you can still make it out for the most part. "I'm sorry you don't have more time to rest, I was hoping we could visit the hospital together first."

"Hospital?" you ask.

"Yeah. There are sick kids, they like meeting the champions? Maybe after this match you and I can go. Or whoever is champion?"

"I'd...I'd like that, actually," you say. Fuck, this guy's actually kinda cool.

You break the handshake and back a respectful distance away to draw out your sticks. You can hear cameras clicking nonstop as you raise your sticks into a ready pose and the champ eases into a ready stance. Orthodox kickboxing. Reminds you a little of Belle.

>Start fast and strong. Rushdown!
>Wait for him to make a move, try to take out his limbs with the sticks.
>Diplomance!

>>21594464
So have your matches been nearly as crazy as mine, or am I getting the bizarre ones exclusively

>>21594464
No Diplomancy yet. If we start in with the 'tournament is corrupt' spiel right off the bat, we're just going to seem like we're making excuses or something. Wait for him to make a move and go for the limbs- see if we can soften him up a little.

>>21594464
Wait for him to make a move and take out his limbs with sticks.

Mumble "Let's fight like gentlemen" under our breath.

>>21594464
>Diplomance!

We're actually pretty good at this. And I just want a look into the mind of Fighting Fabio. Why'd you do it, man? You were a champion, a legit fighting champion, one of the hopes for the tournament. Now you're more of a poster boy, a salesman. Why'd you sell out that hard?

fighting defensevly payed off until now, let's give it a shot.

>The Win

Boss Honda and the old man ride together on horseback through the magical wasteland of Idaho. There are fewer LARPers and karate hobos than there were earlier in the summer, but each one they rescue joins their band as they battle goblins and other mystical monsters. The old man tells stories about the first edition of Dungeons and Dragons, playing it with his friends, bitching about Advanced Dungeons and Dragons like it was going to kill the hobby.

By summer's end, the two finished exploring and disassembling the fantasy world of Idaho. The old man and Honda hopped a boxcar to California to cement Honda's position as the west coast World Warrior and to finish training his chi powers.

>The Loss

You decide to play it defensive for now. Erich opens with a fast one-two combination that you slip, cracking him in the ribs with a stick as you do so. You keep moving out of his range, but his movements are sharp and fast. Surprisingly so for a man his size.

"Why'd you start putting your face on everything?" you ask when you have breath.

"Not my decision. My managers," he says, a little short of breath himself. "It's just business!"

He finally catches you with a kick. A front snap kick, more of a range-finger than anything, but it hits hard. This guy's almost as strong as The Otaku without the drawback of being crazy.

>roll 2d10 for counterattack!

>>21594588

Earl Gray, boxer, finishes putting in another day at the gym. After Anon put him in the hospital he hated him for awhile, until the little bastard actually game to visit. Looking at the man, he couldn't understand how someone so much smaller - and so fucking sad-looking - had managed to hospitalize him, even if he was using weapons.

It wasn't until Boss Honda appeared that he realized the real problem. The shtick. He had moved too far away from actually fighting - something he was very, very good at - and was trying to build up a persona, some wacky bullshit that people could latch onto.

The day he got out of the hospital he threw out the teaset, burned the suits and pulled up stakes to head out west. He found Tha Hatchetman, waited for the silly song to end and then punched the clown makeup off of his face.

It's going to be nearly another year before he can battle Anon again. Next time he's going to be ready, and he's going to be serious.

You swing a stick for his knee as he withdraws, only managing to hit the shin. Not a great hit, but enough of those can turn the tide.

Pete and Tatsuya are having a beer in a lousy Southtown bar watching the finale, a brief break from one of Pete's regular trips to train with Tatsuya at the Kyokugen school.

"He's not gonna make it," Pete says. "He's a first-time fighter against the world champ. And he's exhausted, just look at him. They rigged the deck."

"I still believe in him," Tatsuya says. "Look at how he moves, he was never that fast or that clean with his motion when I fought him. And the fire in his eyes."

Their beer is interrupted by a small horde of men in pink gis. Pete and Tatsuya trade a small smile as they turn around to face them.

"Alright, we can do this, but I want to know exactly how many I'm fighting and how many Pete are fighting," Tatsuya says. "I hate when I think I'm done and there are like four of you left."

"Thats..." The lead man in a pink gi - Danny? Tatsuya thinks it might be Danny after a haircut - drops to his knees, bowing to the floor. A moment later the entire school joins him. "Please teach us! We've gone as far as we can under Saikyo, now we want to learn Kyokugen."

"I say let 'em," Pete says. "I'll hang around and help teach if you want."

"...sure. You're all starting at six AM tomorrow, we're taking a jog out to a house for special training," Tatsuya says. "And for god's sake get off the floor, who knows what kind of germs are down there?"

"I HAD TO FIGHT A RAPPING CLOWN!" you yell, swinging hard into his next punch. It connects, but the kick that comes next in his combo barrels into your midsection again. Always with the midsection with this guy.

"That's rough, guy!" he says. "We don't really have rap clowns in Germany."

"It's not because I'm American, it's because the tournament's becoming a joke," you say through gritted teeth. "The World Warrior Tournament is turning into an ad campaign! Your face is on everything!"

"Hey, people like my face," he says. He starts circling, carefully watching your movements. Trying to figure out how much damage has been done to your midsection.

>What should our strategy be?

>>21594892
Don't show the damage. Make him think he's hitting a slab of steel. Whatever you do, don't make it obvious your midsection is killing you. After that, I dunno,

let's stay stoic, try not to show our pain. Faking weakness it quite the rude thing to do. We are a Getntleman, even in this situation.

"Of course they like your face! Hell, I like your face! Doesn't change the fact that the tournament is more about making money now than fighting."

We need to be more defensive against those kicks, worry less about his punches. He's a kickboxer, after all, that's where his real damage is going to come from; also, he's wearing us down pretty badly. I say we put him on the defensive for a bit, go in fast.

The King of Fighters team - Ellie's team - manages a strong showing for a first-year team. They win strong, often brutal victories, only taking losses on points here and there through the season. They don't qualify for the championship rounds - the level of fighters that will appear in the spin-off games and such - but they do Southtown proud.

Watching her father and Pete run a class through their paces, fresh off a workout herself, Ellie finds herself thinking over her future in this business. The friends she made are dear to her, and she wouldn't trade Belle and Moira for anything in the world. She checks and doublechecks it on the World Warrior and King of Fighters website, though. Nothing says you can't compete in both.

More importantly, technically Southtown is in the Central region. She hasn't seen Anon since the fight with Erich - nobody has, if you believe the media blitz - but she received an anonymous package from Thailand with a bowtie and a pair of collapsible fighting batons and a note asking her to hang on to them for him.

He'll come back. And when he does they can fight again to their heart's content. She can't wait.

"Hey, I like your face too, guy," he says.

"STOP BEING SO NICE!" you shout, taking the offensive. A few stray parries and counterpunches make it through, but you push through it. You can feel your left eye starting to swell shut. For a split second, though, there's the opportunity. He overextends, no defense in a clear line to his face.

On occasion Belle worries about her place on the team. Moira's debut match had her nearly break two men's arms, Ellie gained notoriety for punching that monster guy's heart out. If you go by the press and Fightchan, she's the weak link, winning most of her victories on points and giving up the most knockouts of the team. She even confesses this to Ellie one night when she's drunk and Ellie reassures her that there's no one else she'd have by her side. She even hugs Belle, which is kind of a surprise to everyone.

As she works through her morning stretches one morning she reads and rereads a letter from Anon thanking her for all of her support. It also says she's the only one he feels comfortable asking for a favor - keep an eye on everyone for him. Especially Moira, he's worried that he'll come back to find she defeated the Pope and declared herself Aikipope. Belle thinks it through logically from every angle, and the only reasonable solution is to get Moira to move in with her and give up being a nun. No cognitive bias in there that she can detect.

You throw a light left. A little too much overhead, too easy to read. Erich throws up a guard against it instinctively.

You twist your torso into a right uppercut. The stomach muscles are burning - those hits count for a lot - but your stick catches him on that perfect chin. He manages to get in a few light hits to your face - relatively light, you can feel blood trickling from your nose - before you reset the distance.

"Seriously, why are you even a fighter?" you ask. "Why don't you just model for romance novels or whatever?"

"Because I'm a fighter. We're both fighters," he says. "The strength to become who you want to be. That's what we both fight for."

"Is this what you want to be?" you ask. "Your face sells jeans at K-Mart."

He doesn't say anything to that. Throws his arms straight out to the side and breathes in deep. You've seen this before.

Karate Joe the Fighting Hobo eventually rides the rails back to Metro City. He was born and raised here, what feels like five lifetimes ago, and he's always had a soft spot for it. No matter how far you travel or where you go, there's always the draw of your hometown. Luckily the place is under assault by Mad Gear again by the time he gets back. That means there's gonna be plenty of street turkey all around.

Months later, as he clears out a bar full of scuba-themed punks (they're really reaching now) he finds a familiar face outside punching out Mad Gear fighters.

"Hey, didn't you disappear or somethin'?" you ask.

"Me? Why good sir, I am simply Skullomania X!" he says. He's got that stupid costume on again.

"Uh huh. And the woman?"

"Lady Skulltopia Z," she says calmly. "We're here to bring justice to the land!"

"Can it with the Saturday morning cartoon stuff," Joe says. "Boss man's holed up in a warehouse downtown. Wanna go beat 'em up?"

"Yeah, I was kinda tired of scuba guys," Skullomania X says. "It's good to see you again, Joe."

"It's good to see you too," Joe says, cracking his knuckles. This is gonna be a long night.

"MUNTER!" he shouts, throwing hands forward. It's ridiculously highly telegraphed.

You throw both hands into the Gentleman's Reply. His attack is strong - so strong the stick bend a little and don't bend back - but the attack is launched back into his ridiculous face.

"You could've been the best thing to ever happen to this tournament!" you say. "You could've been a spokesman, reached out to everyone!"

"Do you think it's that easy?" he asks, wiping blood from his face. "To be champion, to have this weight? I did what I thought was right." He's on you again, fast, with punches that could shatter concrete.

"You sold out!" you yell, sidestepping and throwing attacks where you can. You manage to get a few solid hits to his ribs. Hopefully that will slow down the punches.

"I thought...I only had a year or two.." he says, stumbling into you. He pulls you into a clinch. "That's all you have at the top. I had to secure my future."

The Otaku, possibly the strongest and fastest man on the planet, quickly gives up the fight game. Despite giving a rousing speech on the nature of justice to the American challenger and inviting him to join forces, he wound up being beaten unconscious on the streets of his beloved Akibahara. He fought off a few more challengers until a judo fighter came to him wearing a flowing red scarf, Rider style. They chatted for a bit about their favorite Riders, what justice really means to both, then the Otaku passed on the title willingly with a handshake. These days he works at Toei as a stuntman - a dream come true for him to put on the costumes, a dream come true for the stunt coordinator to have a nearly-indestructible stuntman.

"Your legacy is more than just ads," you say, stumbling a bit. Your head is a little woozy. "You can still do good. We're goin' to the hospital, remember? Visit the kids."

"You still want to do that? You're a good guy," he says, dopey smile on his face.

"Shaddup. Shaddup and stop hugging me you handsome bastard." You slam your head forward in your signature GENTLEMAN'S HEADBUTT, Erich stumbles back a few steps before lashing out with a one-two combination.

You go berserk.

A gentlemanly, calm berserk that crushes Erich's defense. You calmly pound on pressure points in his arms and shoulders, moving in to jam the sticks into his solar plexus a few times. They're bending more and more with every strike - any second now they're going to be unusable. They're already too compromised for a strike hard enough for a knockout, but...

You throw a kick, finally. The one Belle taught you, the feint that curves. It works - Erich is tired enough to fall for the feint. The kick connects right into the solar plexus, stunning him for the second you'll need.

Champion crusher. Like demon crusher, but with more force and momentum behind it

>>21596271
Drop the sticks, call up all of our Judo knowledge. We are going to throw that man, and when he hits the ground, he is going to (non-lethally) explode. Then we will go meet kids at a hospital.

The Pillow Demon Crusher is a double overhand strike where you hit someone on the top of the head with the butts of the sticks, as invented by the time Anon fought the pillow demon in a nightmare world created by a psychic karate hobo.

When I type it out like that it sounds weird.
