Kombat Fight League: Friday Night Fights (3/30)

Thrills, spills, chills, and no frills! The Championship era delivers another nine match card as JUST_A_TARKATAN misses out on his rematch challenge against Chryo_Spyder, while the rest of the undercard goes randomized once more! Another newcomer had it rough, avenger45 rising from tumultuous introduction during the last fortnight, to suffer the clemency of a random draw with Ninja_Mime!

redman delivered the moment of the round, finally picking up his first victory after nine weeks of blood, sweat, and XP! The victory balanced out his Week 5 tie with Methuselah6463 -- absent from the random draw, this week. Jerrod also enjoyed the sweet taste of success for a second time, picking up a solid win over Zmoke. The_Purple_Bunny was also able to improve his record, taking a massive win over old Arena rival, TonyTheTiger!

CaTigeReptile delivered a dominant performance in a punishing +9 victory over Jironobou -- setting herself up as a major prospect for the KFL Championship. CTR has the distinction of being the only person to beat both jack4183 and "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr in solo competition, and has also delivered the highest cumulative impact to her opponents over nine weeks. With SubMan799 taking a hard fall at the hands of Nephrite, a CTR title match is all but assured!

CTR will have to adjust her gameplan. In a dramatic reversal of the Week 8 crowning, jack4813 took full advantage of his rematch opportunity against inaugural holder, Knickxasawrrrr! It was another competitive encounter, but the reigning champion found himself at halfmast against a full powered challenger!

KFL Friday Night Fights - Week 9 Results:
1. jack4813 d. "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr (c) in a KFL Championship match!
2. The Great Genku d. Scott-Howell in a comprehensive +2 result.
3. Nephrite d. SubMan799 in a convincing +2 win.
4. CaTigeReptile d. Jironobou in a comprehensive +9 victory!
5. The_Purple_Bunny d. "The World Warrior" TonyTheTiger in a convincing +2 result.
6. Ninja_Mime d. avenger45 in a solid win.
7. redman d. Killswitch in a hard fought match!
8. Jerrod d. Zmoke
9. Chryo_Spyder d. JUST_A_TARKATAN in a close match.

With the top ranks packing a dense cluster, it's a hard fall from grace for "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr -- the loss of his Championship sending him several rungs away from the top rank. In fitting style, new KFL Champion, jack4813, reassumes his place at the top, returning to #1 after just a week's absence. The yang to Y2K's yin; CaTigeReptile has made a charge up the ranks, emerging as the obvious #1 contender to the KFL Championship not just for her win/loss ranking and impact scores -- but for being the only fighter to have defeated both champions in previous one-on-one competition!

m0s and Ninja_Mime add experience to the top ranks, rounding out the top five. They, like many of the rest of the top five, will have much bigger goals this weekend when The Great Arena plays host to the Union's biggest event of the year -- Supercard 22: Ultimate Grand Prix 2012 -- Test of the Best!

Kombat Fight League Top Five:
#1 (7-2-0) (+1) jack4813 [+7] [Champion]
#2 (6-3-0) (+3) CaTigeReptile [+30]
#3 (6-3-0) (--) "Mr. Daruma" m0s [+14]
#4 (6-3-0) (-3) "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr [+9]
#5 (6-3-0) (RE) Ninja_Mime [+6]

The Championship era has officially begun! So far the path of the Championship has shown just how hotly contested the coveted prize will be. "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr may have been unsuccessful in his first Championship defense, but it is sure to be only a minor setback for a first-year phenom who is already tearing up the ranks in both the KFL and universal leagues! jack4813 will have his work cut out for him, next week, when he takes on the menace of another rising star, CaTigeReptile!

Path of the Championship:
2. jack4813 d. "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr (c) (Mar. 30, 2012)
1. "Y2K" Knickxasawrrrr d. jack4813 (Mar. 23, 2012)
