Gunz v. The Joker[edit]

"3. Weapons: Anything from Sora's Keyblade to Xemnas's lightsabers ethereal blades (Drive forms are here because of their use in battle). Try not to go into Organization XIII's weapons from Days (No Gunz or The Joker, sorry), it would make things far too tedious. However, all of Roxas's Keyblades from 358/2 Days are fair game."

I disagree with the final two sentences. If you are going to allow some of the weapons from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, you have to allow all of them. The concern here is that weapons like Interdiction, Tester Zero, Tempest, Vol de Nuit, and other weapons like these would not have enough relevance to the Kingdom Hearts series to be important enough to be featured. However, is that not up to the community? I think that if this is true, then a fight like "Interdiction v. Infinity" or "Sharpshooter v. Sunrise" would likely not be chosen anyway. For these reasons, I request the abolishment of the statement stating that weapons from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days other than Keyblades are not allowed to be nominated. --DTN Room Core.png 22:45, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Statement abolished. You have two more wishes, master...</sarcasm> KKDf51ce887-d120-4b89-8cff-afbff03976aa_zps7f114bcc.png

Sure. KKDf51ce887-d120-4b89-8cff-afbff03976aa_zps7f114bcc.png
Whoa, alright! Well, for my first wish...I wish to be alive again! maggosh 23:04, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
Wish #2: Some battle that has to do with Room Core in which Room Core totally dominates because it is Room Core.
Wish #3: Better voice acting for North American Aqua. Please. --DTN Room Core.png 23:06, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wish 2: Nominate Room Core vs. something, then.
Wish 3: That is something only Squeenix and Disney can grant.
