Private/Closed Bootleg Bros: Melee

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker could tell Sonic was getting far more aggressive as they went on. So far it's been a similar pattern of him dashing at Joker, and either trying to hit him straight on or around the back. Thinking back most of Sonic's Sonic's attacks have been going for his upper half like his chest, head and top part of his back. Considering Sonic was coming down from a top angle, Joker assumed this would be much the same and quickly ducked down. From this lowered position, Joker fired his pistol off just above him, hoping to his Sonic as he sailed overhead.

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic quickly stomped as his opponent ducked and shot at him, avoiding the bullet. He was now next to Joker. “Heya!” He said, before boosting forwards, attempting to plow through Joker, doing big damage if it was successful. Once he was behind him, he spindashed towards him.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Seeing Sonic right in front of him, Joker knew this was the closest his opponent has been to him yet. He signaled for Arsene to start to return to him. Joker remembered the first mark he managed to get on Joker was from a scenario just like this. He didn't have time to play around anymore. As soon as Sonic dashed through him, Joker sliced at Sonic's chest, the close proximity making it nearly impossible to dodge, especially considering Sonic was boosting straight at Joker. The boost still hit Joker, and before he could see if his blade landed, he was in the air. It hurt, but was worth it, as he was out of the way for Arsene's next attack. "Sukaden!" Arsene shoot the beam of energy in a straight lime, directly in the path of Sonic's spindash.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

(I thought this made sense, considering that when boosting Sonic can just plow through robots that would usually hurt him on contact, so he takes reduced damage while boosting.)
Sonic felt a scratch on him, but nothing too bad. The same could not be said for his opponent, who was now in the air after getting hit. He cancelled his spindash and quickstepped backwards to avoid the beam. He looked at his shoulder. He was grazed once again, but nothing too bad. He assumed that the sheer speed and power of his boost had messed up Joker’s accuracy or bumped his hand. He jumped up, then used homing attack. Nothing special, but it was usually effective.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker knew he couldn't be on the defensive for too long. That's what's been dragging this fight on for so long. Arsene sped in swiping at Sonic's homing attack to give Joker some time to land and get back on his feet. Joker rolled into his landing so it wouldn't hurt and he got back up to his feet, shooting off in Sonic's direction multiple times with his pistol.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

“Woah!” Sonic said, before jump dashing backwards to avoid Arsene’s attack. He then stomped downwards to avoid Joker’s gunfire. He quickly boosted towards Joker and once he was in front of him, he hopped up about a foot, then used Flying Kick, aiming for Joker’s stomach, doing great damage if it landed, as it was a powerful kick, and it was one of the most sensitive parts of the human body.(Nowhere near THE most, but still pretty sensitive.) Joker would also be sent back a decent distance if it landed, possibly knocking him into a wall and doing more damage.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Back on his feet, Joker more prepared for whatever Sonic has planned for him. As per usual, the hedgehog sped towards him, before leaping into a flying kick. Joker quickly weaved out of the way of the attack, his blade slicing at Sonic as he flew past. "Arsene, Eigaon!" He called out, and his Persona took aim, shooting a blast of energy at Sonic as well.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

(I have discussed this with @The Alright Attorney)
As his opponent tried to stab him again, Sonic managed to kick the blade out of his hand, sending it flying to the side. Sonic wasted no time. He quickly ran over there, avoiding the projectile that Arsene sent at him and went to pick up the blade. He considered taking it for himself, but his opponent could possibly take it back that way, so he did what he thought was best. He threw (Yeet) the blade, and it landed on a windowsill near the top floor of a nearby building. “Whoopsie! I’m such a klutz.” He said while shrugging tauntingly. He then sprinted towards Joker, then once he was close he hopped up slightly to perform a high-kicking punt forward, aiming for Joker’s chest or stomach and doing great damage if it landed, and knocking Joker upwards as well if it landed.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

The moment Joker lost his blade, he started to run for it. He saw Sonic throw the blade away, and wasted no time, prepping his grappling hook. Knowing Sonic would be using this opportunity to attack Joker, Arsene flrw back to Joker's side, swiping at any incoming attacks that Sonic might throw out. Sure enough the hedgehog leaped into the air and aimed a kick at Joker. Arsene used Myriad Slashes, two quick paced swipes with his claws to try and knock Sonic back or at least keep him away from Joker.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic grinned as his opponent tried to go get the blade back. He wasn’t much without his tools. He quickly curled into a ball and double jumped over Arsene. Once he was beside Joker he thrust his body forward through midair while sticking his legs outward while spinning, doing good damage and most likely knocking Joker around or causing him to lose his bearings if it was successful.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Before Sonic could make contact with Joker, the Phantom Thief had already threw his grappling hook towards the building that his blade had fallen on top of. It landed on a balcony just below the top. "Arsene, keep him busy!" Was the last thing Joker yelled out before feeling he and his body get pulled up and away towards it. Arsene turned towards Sonic, and brought down another blast of Gun Riot, the three bolts coming down just in between Sonic and Joker, trying to buy Joker some time.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

“Woah!” Sonic said, before quickly jump dashing onto the wall of the building Joker was climbing. He then began running up the building, breaking windows and leaving clouds of dust in his wake. He was catching up to Joker very quickly. He quickstepped to dodge one lightning, quickstepped again to avoid the next, then quickstepped one last time to dodge the last, and he did all of this while still running towards Joker. He was having a blast, and it showed on his face. “This is fun!” He said, now caught up with Joker, he then used a homing attack, aiming to hurt Joker as well as make him lose his balance/bearings.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker heard Sonic starting to catch up to him and glanced back, seeing the hedgehog running up the side of the building. "Pest control in your universe must be stronger than the military." He called out, before leaping up the top of the building, climbing up and over to just narrowly avoid getting hit by the homing attack. Joker saw his blade and quickly grabbed it. He smirked to himself, doing a stylish spin with it, before turning around, knowing Sonic would be there in just a second.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic saw Joker pick up the blade and frowned. Looks like his opponent had been just fast enough to get it back. The edgy teenager picked up the blade, and looked prepared. Sonic quickly leaped off the wall he was running on, jump dashed to the top of the building, then began running in a large circle around Joker, leaving a blue trail in his wake and causing dust to spin around rapidly, effectively forming a large blue trail/dust cyclone. It wasn’t blue tornado though, the whole point of this one was to blind his opponent. He kept running for a moment just to confuse him some more, then suddenly ran into the center of the cyclone with Joker, the one part that was actually possible to see through. He quickly used his homing attack. This happened in under a second.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker didn't see the attack coming, and it hit him in the chest. The impact knocked Joker out of the dust tornado. While it hurt, it did mean Joker was now the one out of sight. Sonic could hear the sound of Joker running away and jumping off the side of the building. All that could be seen on the roof now was the tornado and Arsene, who shot a blast of Sukaden into the tornado, knowing Sonic wouldn't be able to see it coming.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic grinned as Joker was hit and fell out of the tornado. But he then heard a familiar sound. “Uh oh.” He said, and, right as the cyclone disappeared, he saw the familiar ‘slow beam’ coming at him. He quickstepped to the right, just barely avoiding the attack. “Ya know, you’re not very nice.” He told Arsene. “Ya pick that up from your master?” He taunted. He leapt off the top of the building, the balanced on a lamp attached to the wall, and looked around for Joker. “Now where'd ya go?”
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

While Sonic jumped off and looked around, Joker silently climbed up from the opposite side of the building behind Sonic. Rather than leaping off the side of the building completely, he just simply quietly hid on one of the balconies. Silently, he and Arsene approached the hedgehog, and once they were close enough, Arsene sped in front of Sonic, quickly casting the blinding Nocturnal Flash once again. If Sonic was blinded by the flash or not, Joker swung his blade at Sonic's back, which would leave a nasty cut on Sonic's back, and hopefully cause him to fall back down to the streets.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

“Wha?” Was all Sonic could say before being blinded again. “Agh!” he said, and out of panic and pure instinct, Sonic spin dashed off of the lamp. He started to roll along the side of the building, rolling down at high speeds while screaming in panic. He then reached the ground again and rolled along that until he slowly stopped. He had took some damage simply from the rolling and falling, but he was pretty much alright. He slowly got up and groaned. “Ugh.....” He said before shaking his head and starting to recover. He looked up at his opponent and waited for his next move.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

While Joker's blade missed, with Sonic quickly getting out of the situation as fast as possible, Joker still smirked to himself, with Sonic clearly getting some damage down from his wild run down the side of the building. Joker and Arsene dived off the side of the building, with Joker firing off his pistol and Arsene shooting small balls of curse energy at the hedgehog. About halfway down, Joker threw his hook, it latching onto the side of the building to slow his descent and let him land comfortably on the ground again.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic shook his head again, then quickly ran backwards to avoid all the projectiles raining down on him. Sonic looked at his opponent, who was currently descending down slowly with his grappling hook. Sonic was basically fully recovered by now, and wasted no time running towards him, then hopping up and performing an Axe Kick, doing great damage if it landed.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

As Joker descended, he saw Sonic running to where he'd eventually be. When he finally reached the ground, Sonic was in a full kicking motion. Pistol still in hand, Joker aimed up and shoot three bullets straight at Sonic's incoming foot.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic saw Joker pull out the gun and quickly jump dashed to the left, then stomped downwards to get back to the ground. He avoided each bullet individually, then waggled his finger at his opponent tauntingly. “Too slow!” He said, before taking off like a rocket, and once he was in front of Joker, he performed a devastating roundhouse kick, doing great damage if it landed.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker stepped back at bit, expecting Sonic come running at him after he dodged the bullets. Sure enough, the hedgehog came blasting forward, and Joker Instinctively backed and jumped away, narrowly avoiding the kick. As he dodged, be swung his blade, hoping to get a clean hit in on his opponent's leg.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic quickly flipped backwards in midair, a different type of double jump. (The one from Lost World I believe.) He avoided the knife slash by doing this, then used homing attack again. (Joker should still be in the “end lag” of the knife swing and shouldn’t be able to react imo.)
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

While Joker was still finishing his swing, Arsene was still on standby, and shot a blast of Sukaden directly in between Sonic and Joker, meaning he'd either have to finish the attack and go slower again, or dodge away from the blast and not finish his attack.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

“Darn!” Sonic said before quickly swerving left to avoid becoming slow again. He landed on the ground again and looked at Arsene. “You’re kind of annoying, ya know that?” He said angrily before focusing for a moment, then jumping up and using the focused homing attack. The first attack would be aimed at Joker, the second would be aimed to the side of Joker, just in case he tried to run, and the third aimed back at Joker.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

With his back still close to the all of the building he scaled down moments ago, Joker quickly jumped back on it to avoid the first homing attack, propelled himself off the wall and into a roll back to the ground to just narrowly avoid the second attack, as well as widen the gap between the pair. He looked back to see Sonic using yet another homing attack, and Joker pulled out his blade, trying to slice at the incoming hedgehog.

@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic quickly swerved out of the way to avoid the incoming blade, instead bouncing into a wall. He landed on the ground, then was off like a rocket in the other direction. He went to a pile of rubble from a previous part of their fight. He then kicked one of the pieces of rubble that was about the size of a soccer ball, and it went sailing towards Joker. He then kicked another, and another, and another. He then kicked one that was slightly larger than all the others. All of this would do great damage if they landed.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[ArmedBlue]

Gunvolt disabled his Flashfield and put Dart Leader in its holster once he heard Drogoz forfeit. That match was definitely made a lot easier for him thanks to his Flashfield being so effective on explosives. "Well done on your part as well. Good luck on your own journey." He told Drogoz, knowing his opponent had probably done all that he could. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of lives everyone in the tournament had in their own worlds... Most of them did seem to have a thing for fighting. Waving his opponent goodbye, he walked into the rift and was sent back to the plaza.

"Geez, why do all of these guys have a thing for explosives? First the grenade maniac and now a dragon with a rocket launcher? I swear, if the next guy has nukes I'm gonna lose it." Joule spoke for the first time in a while, clearly surprised by how common those weapons were.

"Eh, they're not that hard to deal with. At least if they don't zoom around like that Junkrat guy did." Gunvolt replied, taking a look at the matchups to see who he'd be up against next. Either a pink ball named Kirby or some guy going by Terrarian. Their match was playing on one of the screens, and the Terrarian guy seemed to have a wide array of weapons at their disposal. He hoped Kirby would end up winning, that one definitely seemed to be a bit more simple and easier to deal with.

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker ducked out of the way of the first piece of rubble, it just scraping his side slightly. He glanced up to see three more coming, and quickly called upon Arsene. "Riot gun, now!" Pointing towards the pieces of rubble, Arsene summoned the three powerful bolts of lightening to destroy them as they flew. He breathed a sigh of relief, before seeing a larger piece get thrown at him as well. Preparing to take the hit, Joker braced himself, only to hear the sound of the rubble breaking. Looking forward, he saw Arsene, having just cut the rubble clean in half with Cleave. Joker smirked and just gave a simple nod to his Persona. They both looked back towards Sonic, and Joker fired off a volley of bullets, with Arsene summoning Riot Gun again, both attacks aimed directly at Sonic.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic tapped his foot impatiently as if these attacks were slow to him, even though he only had time to tap his foot for a second before he needed to dodge. He quickstepped to avoid each lightning individually, striking a taunting pose for each one. He then dodged each bullet and struck a break dance pose for each one. He pulled his bottom eyelid down and stuck his tongue out in a childish and mockingly way. (He does this a lot in Sonic X, season 1 at least.) He then jumped onto a wall and started to run up it, getting closer to Joker but not attacking.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Seeing Sonic run up the wall and seemingly away for the moment gave Joker some time to breathe. Right now he wanted to put some distance between him and his opponent, so he turned and ran. Arsene floated just beside him, firing off smaller balls of curse magic at the hedgehog, not really to try and hit him, just to keep him away from Joker. He finally reached the opposite end of the battlefield, giving him ample room and time to think his counter attacks.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic easily avoided the projectiles by simply continuing to run. He saw his opponent run as well, which took the fun out of his idea. He quickly leapt off the building, causing a sonic boom and breaking glass in the general area he had been in. He easily made it to Joker’s side of the battlefield, and he then used Lock On, ensuring his next attack would land, but it could still be blocked or parried. Then, he used an Axe Kick, doing great damage if it succeeded, and knocking Joker up as well if it succeeded.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker watched his opponent quickly drop down from the arena, feeling some of the gusts of wind caused by the sonic book. He prepped his blade, and watched as Sonic started to bring his foot down toward Joker's body. It almost seemed like it was gravitating towards him, as even when Joker took a step back the kick realigned itself to still get closer. Knowing now that he couldn't dodge out of this, Joker simply sliced upwards at Sonic's leg with his blade, the little space in between, and Sonic's downward momentum meaning it would be hard for him to dodge out of this one.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[ThAtGuY101]

~Johnny Cage...~

As Genji used his swift attack, Johnny could feel the tension in the air. He was truly in danger at this point. Green energy burst around him which seemed to shield him. A sword strike came in and Johnny used mime time to move out of the way ,and block it.

"Stunt double!" Johnny yelled. A man quickly ran up behind Genji to put him in a full nelson. Johnny then used a ultra flip kick. A red trail was made as he performed a somersault kick to launch Genji in the air ,and quickly followed it up with and quickly followed up with a red shadow uppercut.

@Captain Pokémon

~Commander John Shepard...~

Shepard ducked to avoid the first shuriken, shot the second shuriken ,and rolled out of the way of the third. He used his biotic charge to instantly close the gap. A large explosion bust from around Shepard. Shepard extended his arm as an orange sword formed around his arm. Shepard thrusted his omni-blade with a quick power strike.

@Psymallard

~Sly Cooper...~

Sly could feel the staff heating up, "This feeling again!" Sly said. Sly threw down another flash bomb. This time Sly would use the opportunity to try steal one of Courier's guns. Maybe that cool pistol he saw him use. That would be cool if he managed to steal that! Sly used the smoke to sneak behind Courier. Instead of pulling out a pistol, he got... bottle caps?! and a soda, "Jeez what's up with this guy?! No money?! Probably spent it all on that dang sword! All them weapons. This man is broke! No money! just bottle caps! Probably spent it all on soda ,and drank it all! Sounds like something Murray would do!" Sly thought to himself.

Sly needed to act quick, the smoke would fade soon, Sly used the remainder of the time to charge his attack. Sly used a jump attack(level 3) this was an explosive electric jump.

@DevVoid

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic kicked the side of the blade, not sending it out of his opponent’s hand, but still parrying the attack. He quickly jumped backwards, and decided to attempt to plow through his opponent with boost yet again. This time however, he swerved to the left right before he would hit him, then he turned around quickly and tried to boost through him from behind.
@The Alright Attorney
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Genji growled as his attacks were either blocked or dodged. He jumped up and backflipped over the man who tried to grab him, parried the ultra flip kick, quickly dashed backwards to avoid the somersault kick and uppercut that followed. He threw more shurikens at Johnny from a distance, throwing about 12 in a precise line, then throwing 12 more but this time the were fans. (8 shurikens throws in total, 4 precise, 4 fans.)
@ThAtGuY101

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker prepared to take the hit, only for Sonic to swerve around quickly. He rolled out of the way, not exactly fast enough to dodge it completely as he did feel the hedgehog hit his foot. With Sonic now having his back to him, Joker quickly commanded Arsene, the Persona shooting a beam of Sukaden right where the Hedgehog was now standing. Joker shot off a round of bullets on either side of the beam and quickly ran closer, preparing the throw his grappling hook upwards.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Sonic looked back as his opponent narrowly avoided the hit, and it was a good thing he looked back, or else he likely would’ve missed the beam heading straight for him. “That again?” He said in a bored way. He quickstepped to the side to avoid the beam, then simply ran away to the left to avoid the gunshots. “Looks like you’re running out of tricks!” He said while smirking. He then turned around and ran towards Joker. Then, once he was close, he jumped up so that he was above Joker, then used the bounce attack, doing brutal damage if it landed, as he was aiming for the head and going down at incredibly speed, not leaving much time to react either.
@The Alright Attorney

 

[The Alright Attorney]

Joker just smirked to himself as Sonic dodged the attacks. "I'm the one running out of ideas? Have you seen yourself during this match?" He responded with a chuckle. Next thing Sonic did was jump into the air, exactly what Joker wanted. He finished the motion of throwing his grappling hook, just as Sonic began to jump, meaning it was on a direct course with the hedgehog. If it made contact it would wrap around Sonic's leg, and Joker would pull it down, to slam Sonic hard into the ground below.
@Captain Pokémon

 

[Captain Pokémon]

The grappling hook wrapped around his leg, but Sonic had a plan. “Ha!” He chuckled, before suddenly air boosting, the force easily overpowering Joker’s pulling grip, and most likely sending him flying with him unless he let go of the grappling hook. Sonic then slammed into a wall, not taking damage himself since he just bounced off it, but most likely causing Joker to go sailing into it and take big damage if he didn’t let go off the grappling hook.
@The Alright Attorney
