Forum:The Keyblade War - Quarter Finals

The earthquakes in the canyons are becoming too powerful; the very tower that the remaining eight warriors rest on shook them violently off on occasion, and their battles became aerial several times. Nonetheless, the truly powerful agents of war that have been left standing after the battles proved themselves superior. Many of the black cloaks have disappeared, taken away by the violent winds in the canyon. The entire world is covered in darkness, and yet here, it is bright as day under Kingdom Hearts. None of these warriors are unfamiliar with this light--the light of Kingdom Hearts, for most. Last time, friends were lost, separated, in danger--and the same is true once more. Eight warriors remain; looking into each other's eyes, war is becoming harder, both on their bodies and mentally. The hero shall battle his other self; this battle, why does it feel so... symmetrical? Why is everything so similar? In a battle that feels like a rematch, the Superior shall battle the Master and mage--again. Heroes of the two forces that make up the worlds' people and essences shall do battle, and the hero's harbored light shall do battle with his carrier's former friend, and now enemy--why is this battle so... familiar? The weapons rise, the warriors are lifted up--and the light and darkness above invite them to the Keyblade War once more.

Sora vs. Roxas

Votes for Sora

 * 1) My god... I knew it would get tough. Sorry, Roxas. But 2nd best character > 3rd best character. 05:43, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I like the original. -- 05:47, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Seifer is right, Roxas is a chicken wuss, his life isn't so hard, he's just making it bad. 08:22, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I don't care what people say; Sora IS a great character and soon he's going to be even greater. Sapiro 12:32, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Sora defeated Roxas before. SeanWheeler 14:24, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 7) Roxas is way to whiny and pathetic. 15:46, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I don't care too much for Roxas. The only reason why I like him is because his story so sad. Character wise, it's gotta be Sora.--Be a good boy now! 16:01, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 13) How is Sora losing? If he didn't free kairi's heart from himself there wouldn't be any roxas. If u truly are a fan of kingdom hearts you'll vote for the hero that started everythin and connects to everything. Not the left behind remnant with nothin but a name and copies of Sora's weapons. MasterRiku35 19:02, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * Oh, come on Sora, show your other what you got, use the whole three keyblade thing, and once again, make this more cinematic! Come on guys, I know you're out there, VOTE FOR SORA!!! I saw this one comeing (and I loved this battle in KH2FM), let's just hope it ends the same way (Sora, barely winning, but not cutting it too close). AROS 15:17, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 5) Ahahahahahaha...Roxas...one of the only people who might be able to take Sora out of the runnings...You can do it Roxas! Prove that you are you and no one else!! :D Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * 6) im agreeing with the current majority here, roxas was always the better half KeyBladeM 06:59, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Roxas is WIN
 * 8) I don't care for either of them, Roxas is the lesser of 2 bad characters. 14:32, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) [[File:Sephiroth.jpg]]--I prefer the darkness to take control. This particular combatant IS from the darkness although he denies it.Sephiroth962 16:01, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 16) Hades shall be avenged!-Disneyvillainman 20:09, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) Roxas is my favorite, he has to win. If anything, Sora must lose. Number XIII - LightRoxas - The Key of Destiny 20:14, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) Well, my theory is that a persons Nobody is a better fighter than the Somebody. So, logically Roxas should bat Sora. Sora only beat Roxas in KH2 because Roxas didn't know Sora could make his keyblade come to him.
 * 19) As much as I like Sora, him or Riku winning the entire tournament would be too cliché. Also, Roxas had the short stick at the end of the games released so far...time for him to get something better. So I'm with you again, Rox. Sephiroth0812 21:32, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) ROXAS IS PURE AWESOMENESS AND COULD KICK SORA'S BUTT ANYDAY!! :P In ANY and ALL cases Roxas is always better than Sora! 21:35, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 23) Best. Character. Ever. -VonFrank 23:29, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ventus- continues to live in Sora, doesn't have a complete heart. Roxas is Ventus with memory loss. User:Animalvius

@Animalvius: No he's not. Roxas is a Nobody with Ventus's heart, but Roxas is not Ven.
 * Yep, I can only second this, Caelum. It was actually put a big emphasis by the developers that Roxas and Ven are both independent, distinct existences. The only things Roxas got from Ven are 1st his looks cuz Ven's injured heart stayed in Sora's body when it was expelled from Sora's heart and 2nd the ability to have actual emotions. Because Ven's heart is injured and inactive Roxas couldn't feel it, but he could have real feelings due to carrying it. 21:41, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

And regardless of Aqua, Xemnas is a badass character and should make it to the next round, at the very least. It's still way to early for him to be taken out!

I can't decide between the two, because we need someone more antagonistic to be in the final four/two, but Aqua is, well, more renoundly popular.

Everyone who voted for Mickey makes me sad. There goes the presents I was gonna send you for Christmas... maggosh 20:17, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'm going with the whole neutrality statement again, though I was tempted to give Cloud a pitty vote, in truth, I'm torn between the two of them. By the way Lapis, if you see this, then disregard the comment I left on Cloud's last poll, I meant to direct that towards DTN. I realized it earlier and tried to change it yesturday but the editing was closed by the time I was done voting. The statement was nothing offensive or anything (at least I hope not) but I just want to get who I was reffering to corrected. Mickey, if you win this, you better make the next battle good!

Votes for Ventus

 * 1) No-brainer. Best character in any series, any game, any movie, or any reality, ever. 05:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Just. Grah. SO MUCH EPIC! LIGHT! WIND! --Never fear ... Superdog is here! Yipee! :D 05:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Ventus can face everyone while his darkness is running around.
 * 4) Ven was only in one game, and I found him tolerable. Riku was in multiple games, but I only liked him in one. Therefore, I find Ven better over all. Naminé and Roxas Forever
 * 5) R.I.P in Sora's heart. Sapiro 12:20, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Think positive, boy.
 * 7) Ventus pulls off the "as a friend, get rid of me" way better. ("No, don't patronize me. We have a Problem here, we need to deal with it.") 15:46, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) My favorite character, and I'd like to see Ventus vs. Roxas--Laurxafinal 16:40, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Ventus is my second favourite character! And i hate Riku..And Ventus is the vessel for the X-Blade, can't beat that Vexilor 18:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I hate Riku UnknownChaser
 * 11) Toughest match ever, but Ven is slightly cooler and needs the vote more. Number XIII - LightRoxas - The Key of Destiny 20:21, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Roxas defeated Riku and Ven looks like Roxas. SeanWheeler 20:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Ventus...3rd favourite under Roxas and Cloud.
 * 14) VEN-VEN!! Ven is my favorite only second to Roxas! Riku would never beat Ven and the only reason he beat Roxas is because he had to cheat and use the big bad Guardian. Otherwise Roxas woulda kept wiping the floor with him. Roxas is basicly Ven soooo VEN RULES!! :P 21:40, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21:45, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) KefkaPVI 21:48, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) 4 reasons, 1st Ven is such a cutie I can't bring myself to vote against him. 2nd Ven-Ven is also fighting for Terra here, who he was forced to fight last round. 3rd the combo of light and wind is way more awesome than plain darkness. 4th I made a promise to someone ;)...now you get the lead, Ven-Ven. Sephiroth0812 21:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Fav character is Roxas but Ven is 99% the same. D.Dark. 22:03, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Riku was better in dark mode. Besides, imagine what roxas would look like if ven hadn't been there. eh...
 * 5) Ventus!!!! Since Ventus's heart is inside of Sora, he acts just like him. We have all seen Sora fight with his unbreakable spirit!! Come on!! No brainer!! 23:45, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Im sorry, Riku! I would be happy with you as the winner, too. But I had to make a choice... :( --Drace 00:55, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Hey! I'm breaking the tiebreaker! Also, I'm voting because Ventus=wind=(Greek mythology) Zephyr (nice wind god)=AWESOMENESS!!! 01:05, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Ventus is awesome! Riku is not one of my favorite characters SuperStitchFan97
 * 03:54, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Ven needs to go all the way  Freaky Beserker is HANDICAPABLE 05:07, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't think an explanation is nescessaryKHCoM-Namine.gif Hikari  KH  KHCoM-Namine.gif. 15:45, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Now that I have voted, it's a tie! Go Ventus! His Lost Memories keyblade is AWSOME! 15:55, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Without Ventus Sora could not wield the Keyblade at first--BlazeCannon15 21:57, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Riku

 * 1) Erah, Ven is still a whiny kid. -- 05:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Aww yeah. 05:46, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Damn straight. -- 05:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Both once had a hold on Darkness...but Riku could control it better, with time. maggosh 06:04, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) his story and his ability to wield light and darkness at the same time is alot better than ven's wind..... KeyBladeM
 * Ew, Ventus. 08:25, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Not a shoddy Sora clone, and is a pretty kickass character in KH2. Also, Riku's the only character in KH to wear JEANS :O 14:34, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) [[File:Sephiroth.jpg]]--Riku should've kept his darness, then maybe it would not have come down to his near loss. So I shall help by providing him w/ a vote that shall put him in the lead...for now.
 * 3) the only game that i did not like Riku in was Kingdom Hearts, and he's got 3 other games that he was awesome in to make up for that. Ventus was awesome in only one game-- 16:07, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I've voted for Riku in EVERY round, you expect me to quit now? ShatteredWorlds 16:19, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Ult ima  16:20, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Only reason I'm voting for Riku is he has had 3 games to develop his character. Ventus only had 1, and while he is a deep character, if he had been in at least one more game I'd vote for him. --Evnyofdeath 16:55, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Doo Da Dippity 18:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) To avenge Terra and to prove that Dark>Light. Plus Riku's the best character in KH.MasterRiku35 19:05, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) A vote to the second best protaganist in the series to avenge the best protaganist's demise at Ven-Ven's hands over there.-Disneyvillainman 20:14, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Ah what the hell I'll vote for him anyway.-User:The Dark Master
 * 11) Who went to the Darkness (twice!) & came back stronger than ever? Riku. What did Ventus do: whine about his friends, got taken over by his Darkness & lost his heart. & who's going to help get it back? Riku. Take that Ventus! Namohcan 23:01, 10th December 2010 (GMT)
 * 12) I like his "dark side" stuff, sorry Ven. Roxas pwns sora47 23:25, December 10, 2010 (UTC)Roxas_pwns_sora47
 * 13) Ventus, Riku, Ventus, Riku, Ventus, Riku, GGGAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! This is KILLING ME!!! Sorry Ven, I've got to go with Riku, I'm not sure if I can explain it, but I'm following my heart on this one. Riku, don't let his defeat be in vain (even if you're the one who might beat him).

 * 15) Go Darkness User:Axel8912 16:17 December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Riku inheireted Terra's Key. Terra was better than Ven. Therefore, Riku is better than Ven. Math FTW! Hyperwre_2.0 03:18, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) I love Ven, but still... I have to side with Riku here. CruxisCalling 22:24, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) Just finished playing 358/2 days, and though a lousy hero, he's a great villain..--Bananaphone1996 21:32, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Even though I want Ventus and Roxas to face off, Riku would mop the floor with Ventus. Hell, he already has. Considering Ventus is Roxas (ref. look at my comment for Roxas) @VonFrank read my comment for Roxas to see what I'm getting at. User:Animalvius
 * 20) Even though he looks like him, Ventus is not Roxas. Ergo; Riku gets my vote. -VonFrank 08:06, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) This is really close, but darkness beats wind anyday Jackdap 14:35, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) This is for Terra you two feet item of fanlore, oh and by the way TIE BREAKER!--Ends_of_the_Earth_KHIIFM.png = Terra+Riku = TerkuEnds_of_the_Earth_KHIIFM.png 21:50, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

@Naminé and Roxas Forever: Really? I liked him in all but one. (KH one, to be exact...) -- 06:33, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's just a matter of personal preference really. Oddly enough, I liked him best in Days. The only thing making me not like him in Kingdom Hearts II is his outfit really, but that's mainly just because I was expecting something cooler, conisdering how dramatically he flung off his Black Coat. XD I know it's a stupid reason not to like a character, but... *shrugs* EDIT: Oh, and I just felt he didn't contribute as much to the story as he could have. I'm sure that will change with "3D" though...hopefully. Naminé and Roxas Forever

Hardest choice in the KBW so far.... I can't pick.--Be a good boy now! 16:12, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Noooo! Ven! =[ 19:10, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think Ven would win hands down if it weren't for the fact that not many people have played BBS. Number XIII - LightRoxas - The Key of Destiny 20:27, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed. 22:13, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually I played BBS and beat everything and I still voted for Riku. I just thought that Ventus was too much of a ... pacifist. Well... not really, more of a wimp. We need some darkness on this board and if Cloud nor Xemnas win, then we'll be stuck with Riku. User:Animalvius


 * Relax Soxra, my pal, this round isn't decided yet...;) 21:49, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You make a fair point; he appears to have caught up for the time being. I'm not giving up hope! 22:13, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's the spirit, Ven himself also never gives up regardless how badly hurt he is...^_^. Also, this far into the tournament close fights are expected...and Riku is one hell of an opponent. I'm actually surprised Mickey makes such a landslide. 22:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably because he's a KH original. But I just never liked Riku. His weakness to darkness just reminded me of arrogant people in my own life—I'm sure you know people like that too. 22:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Possible, however it reminds me of Axel vs. Roxas, Rox was also lying very far behind and then won by one vote. Beware the invasion of die-hard Cloud-fans. lol. Oh yeah, I do know some arrogant people, and do my best to avoid them, yet as for Riku I just didn't like him in KH I. He actually realizes his own errors and tries to set things right, even doing much self-blame. But at the end, Ven's nature and cuteness combined with his battle style just wins out for me...^_^ 22:51, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * For me, I just liked Roxas and so Ven was even cooler, as well as a happier person. And as you said Sephy, his fighting style is kick butt.  Light Roxas  23:16, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

I just hate how many of these tough battles there are, though they are intersting, but they still cause me emotional struggle!!! I usually pull for Ven most of the time, but I have to go for Riku this time. I'd vote for Ven if I could, but I'm following my heart, like I said. But, on the bright side, no matter who wins, I'll still feel satisfied (well, not completely, I still wanted my Ventus vs. Vanitas battle). I wish you the best, Soxra. AROS 15:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

My, my, this turns out to actually being the nailbiter I expected it to be...and I agree with both of you LightRoxas and AROS. It is a friggin' hard choice after all, just like last round Ventus vs. Terra I was torn between them... 23:57, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Riku needs his moment in the spotlight. Here's to him winning.

Jeebus, every time one of them gets a vote, the other one catches up. 22:04, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just hope Ventus gets the last vote first. =D 22:09, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just don't want Riku to lose this. Ah well, if he loses, there's still the Mirage Arena. 22:12, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be surprised if this round is decided by just one vote again...it would then be the third me thinks, after Axel/Roxas and Xemnas/Xigbar. 22:33, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fourth&mdash;Tidus & Clayton. RIP Tidus.
