Cataklusmos Trials

Postby Bhakdar » Tue Sep 28, 2010 1:42 pm

This debuts the first in a series of trials our new unit, Catalyst, will be doing in the Northwest. Known as the "Tail Trial" this is our basic entrance test of fighter fitness involving a solo warrior in a Circle of Death or Bear Pit style arena for 20 minutes of constant intense fighting. Minimal breaks are allowed for water, puking, and breathing. Enjoy!

On the YouTube channel you will find two part sequences for Sare & Bhakdar's trials, the finale of Dangus' trial and the majority of Huma's trial. These videos all come from Septemeber Siege 2010 hosted by TirNaNog in Eugene, Oregon. Samson also completed his Tail Trial at this event and Sipris, Acorn, and Rocca will have the opportunity to trial at or before Chumpsgiving. :wizzard:

I love how the fight wanders off screen, you hear a bunch of shots, and then Bhakdar wanders back on. Very classic film fight scene. You guys look sharp. Hope to see you in the Midwest soon.

It's worthy of note that Dangus probably stacked up kills faster than anyone during his first 10 minutes... and then that was recorded over on accident. Yes, the footage shown is his final couple minutes vs. Alexi... we liked putting him in after people couldn't hold their shields up. For the record, Alexi is trying to redeem himself after Dangus 1-shotted him in their first encounter. :wizzard:

Very impressive, the true fighter comes out when he has nothing left to give. Very intense fighting.
