Quarter-Finals! Dante vs. Samus

Arena: The Lost Warehouse

In the Red Corner, the half-demon son of Sparda, the crimson-cloaked devil killer, from Devil May Cry: Dante!!!

And in the Blue Corner, the Chozo-trained bounty hunter, the power armored scourge of the Space Pirates, from Metroid: Samus Aran!!!

The smell of ancient decay overloads Dante's olfactory senses, as he stalks silently through the acres of abandoned crates. A rumbling in the ground foretells a possibly troublesome encounter. The interstellar bounty hunter hunches in the catwalks above, scanning the empty spaces for signs of her opponent. The demonslayer's eyes spy a curious metallic glint near the ceiling just as the bounty hunter catches a glimpse of a humanoid figure with her X-Ray visor.

As the half-devil leaps and lands the catwalk above, those ominous tremors he felt before intensify, and suddenly, the very foundation of the building splits in two. A monstrous earthquake shudders the entire building, and shows no signs of stopping. About 50% of the lighting (scattered randomly in patches) goes out entirely, leaving the two combatants in half darkness in the midst of a vicious earthquake. There is little time to dawdle, and both warriors must make their moves quickly if either one is to escape with their life...
