 Today we are doing something special! Numbers will be battling instead of letters. A monument for the versus games! 1.X. |* The periods have been dropped... Wait, isn't 3** supposed to be here? Three may have taken a fall. I heard them say something about an unlucky battle or something. I'm filling in. Ah. Okay, let's begin! ...1...X... | One and X simultaneously use an ellipses swipe! ...1...X... | Oh, you don't like it? How about, The battlers stand among a field of many periods, many battles, many wins, many losses. They stand today to take on a new kind of battle, one that will change the course of battle history! ...1...X... | Oh, you didn't like that? Then how about, If these battlers don't do something soon, then the ninja will strikethrough them both. Like that! !-_=-_===_--_ X-=____=-=--___--= | A high speed chase ensues! One dons their exclamation point form, the exclamation point! X-___===_-=_=-_=-__=----= llll1llll | X rushes right past one as one takes cover in a field of L's. (More about growing letters next post) X------ l) One destroys the barrier! X---------------------One is down but the chaos continues as the announcer is strikethroughed. X is the winner! (Thank goodness we kept that official winners template safe.)

*As ever, the announcers are shielded to the action.

**I'm late! This is the announcers stand! I guess I'll just wait and watch the action from here. It's a shame I have to waste these good asterisk bombs.
