Good day, Colors players. My name is Elizabeth. We haven't seen each other in a while... but that's about to change. Welcome to Colorseum Season Five! The old game with new rounds, and brand new prizes!

I am here to host the most amazing battle tournament in existence - the Colorseum!
Don't worry, no one will get hurt, at least as long as I don't want them to... The battles will not be decided by strength or strategy, but rather by the ability to win the crowd's hearts! And the judges... will be you!

Want more details? My pleasure!
- Each 'round' will consist of 5 'sub-rounds', posted weekly. They will be First Round A, First Round B, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals and the Final!
- Each round will have a theme - they work in a similar way to the Scrapbook things you use here.
- Each round will have 16 characters from various series fighting in one-on-one battles, in a form of a knockout tournament.
- You decide who will advance to the next round by casting your votes.
- The votes are unscreened, and every player participating will get the same prizes, regardless of the final results! That means you can always vote for the characters YOU like the most!
- Feel free to try to convince other players to vote for your favourites! Bribes are fine, but please don't bother people who already voted asking them to switch.
- I will always vote last, just before closing the round. If two characters are tied after that, the one with the higher seed advances to the next round.
- During the final battle of each round, you will be able to suggest who you want to participate in the next one!

OKAY OKAY ENOUGH OF THIS
Now it's time for what everyone's been waiting for! After having 8 tournaments, 40 rounds, 120 fights and 128 contestants, we have arrived to Season Five Finale!

In the season finale, the eight tournament winners go all out against each other to decide who's the ultimate champion! No holding back, anything goes!

Let's look at the tournament (step)ladder, then:

So, are the participants ready? Here are today's battles:

QUARTERFINALS, PART 2

BATTLE 1
AKA 'The eternal struggle of fire vs ice'

Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) versus Yuuri Katsuki (Yuri on Ice)

Tiebreaker: Yuuri

BATTLE 2
AKA 'Don't mess with those gals'

Rinoa Heartilly (Final Fantasy VIII) versus Popuko (Pop Team Epic)

Tiebreaker: Popuko

===============================================================

QUESTION CORNER

Dude, where are the seeds?
Officially, there are no seeds. As last year, we'll be using the percentage of votes as the tiebreaker. So technically, the seeds would look like this:

1 Gin-sensei 72.83%
2 Yuuri Katsuki 69.64%
3 Astolfo 65.22%
4 Junko Enoshima 62.41%
5 Sephiroth 61.33%
6 Popuko 60.98%
7 Rinoa Heartilly 59.26%
8 Ramuda Amemura 59.18%

However, we're not basing the ladder on those seeds, instead I paired the characters hoping to create some interesting matchups. Under every game, there is a note about who the tiebreaker belongs to.

I'm a fellow stat nerd. What's those percentages about?
The percentage of votes they got in all fights they were in. For example if you win a fight 15-5, you got 75% of votes.

So what happens after this?
Your opinions have been listened to! After this season ends, we're doing a Pokemon special before starting the next season!

===============================================================

You can vote using this form, though it is not mandatory.

You don't have to vote in every pair. However, for each vote you will get three random crayons, making it a total of six random crayons. Yes, even the prizes go up in the final tournament!
Remember, the prizes are the same for everyone, no matter who wins the battles! So vote for your favourites, not the characters you 'expect' to win.
