[DJC v SIR P2] OVENBREAK ~Club Mix~

60.4% to 39.6%. 131 to 86. This far into the tournament, I didn't expect to see any stomps, but... I suppose I've seen bigger upsets. The loser never quite caught up, the percentage always stayed generally the same.

This match was a solid showing for both parties, but there can only be one winner. The loser has dropped out of the tournament. But our winner remains, and advances to Losers Finals.

It's-a-him, Mario! This portly plumber of world renown has caught wind of another world of paintings and, with a mistaken invite, has come to the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y. for a chance to become the Superstar! If he can make it through with just his legacy, his athletic prowess, and a few powerups at his beck and call, then perhaps a true victory won't end up being found in another museum...

It's an alien invasion! The loud, short in temper (and stature) Invader Zim aims to take this tournament for the Irken Empire! He's even recruited a human to help him along the way, an idiotic child named Billy. Sharing the voice work of Richard Horvitz, this unlikely pair brings with them sources of death and aliens, alongside a surplus of music from dark and horror-based children's entertainment. When these two work together, prepare for doom; so long as hubris doesn't get in the way of progress. They've certainly got more than a grim chance at winning at least.
