Hello, Scribblenauts fans! Welcome to the Scribblenauts Smackdown Semifinals. I’m Vince Clortho, with you on a beautiful Thursday here at the Lungfishopolis coliseum. The crowd here today is about double what we saw on Monday. With me here today, as always, is color commentator Gordon Freeman.

There is quite a bit of anticipation about today’s matches. The dragon has done surprisingly well this week, but today he’ll be fighting the kraken. And our second match will be between the blob and the Grim Reaper. The winners of these two matches will face off in the finals tomorrow afternoon.

Since we’re in the semifinals and we’ve only got the two matches today, our competitors will each be fighting three rounds. Best two of three wins.

By the increased volume of cheering I’m hearing now, it looks as though the big fight in the center of the coliseum is about to begin. The Kraken has climbed out of the water, and the dragon is flying in. Round one begins!

Vs

The Dragon is trying to play this smart, flying in circles, staying away from those tentacles, and breathing fire. We’ve seen this week just how much that fiery breath can do. But the kraken is one mean customer.

The dragon seems to be biding his time, and staying out of reach of those tentacles. His fire is starting to have an effect on the mighty kraken. Anything to add Gordon? Didn’t think so.

It looks like the kraken is down! It’s retreated to the water to recover for round two.

And now, a word from our sponsor.

“Wow, Bob, your dancing is really crazy tonight, are you on crack?”

“Why yes, Liz, I am on crack!” [teeth sparkle]

Crack will give you the energy you need to tear up the dance floor all night long, and if you start to experience any undesirable side-effects, just have some more crack! Remember, the first one’s always free!

“Wow, Bob, where can I get some crack?”

“Well, Liz, you can have one of mine, but after that you’ll have to find your own crack!”

“hahahaha!”

Crack. Sold on quality street corners everywhere.

…and we’re back to the second round, already in progress. The kraken has dropped back into the water, and the dragon’s fire seems largely ineffective, as the kraken is using the water as a shield. It’s been a while now, and the crowd is beginning to boo at this apparent stalemate.

Oh! The dragon has swooped a bit too close, and the kraken lunged forward and now has a grip on the dragon with its tentacles! It’s dragging the dragon underwater. This round may be over. Yes, it looks as though the dragon has been drowned. We’ll need a third round to break the tie.

While we’re waiting for the third round to begin, let’s check out today’s other event. The competitors seem ready. Both the blob and the Grim Reaper are in position, awaiting the results of the first match.

Versus

Those two certainly look anxious and ready to go. No, Gordon, I’m not sure how either of those faces would show anxiety, I’m just trying to do your job for you and add some color. Oh, put down that crowbar, you know you’re not gonna do anything. Twit.

Okay, we’re now ready for the tiebreaker between the kraken and the dragon. The judges have ruled that the dragon has too much of an advantage in the air, and that the kraken has too much of an advantage in the water, so this round will be fought on land.

They’re rushing towards each other now. Jeebus, this is brutal! The kraken is bleeding profusely from bites, and the dragon seems to already have a broken arm… er… paw? And the kraken is constricting it. Was that the sound of ribs cracking? Oh, it seems it was. This battle is over! The kraken wins! The kraken has defeated the dragon in a tiebreaker. What a show!

And now it’s time for our second and final match of the day, to see who gets to face the kraken in tomorrow’s finals. Will it be the blob? Or will it be the grim reaper?

Whoa. Those two have been waiting quite some time for the previous fight to finish, and they were raring to go. Now they’re fighting in earnest. Yes, I suppose it’s no surprise that the scythe does little to the blob. Oh, it’s really not looking good for the grim reaper. Nope. That was certainly over quickly.

Wow, Gordon. There are still two rounds to go, but with a match like that it’s hard to imagine any other outcome. The audience is already starting to leave, to beat the traffic. I suppose it’s time for us to sign off as well. Who will come out on top? Will it be the blob or the kraken? Tune in tomorrow for the big final match.
