Exhibition Matches

The World Martial Arts Tournament is proud to present this year's schedule of exhibition matches! Join us for the thrilling action that unfolds whenever two combatants put it all on the line for more than just a championship title! Grudges will be answered, prizes won, and revenge satisfied in a series of matches you'll need to see to believe.

WHO: Battle Rondo Champion TORA versus Former Champion VICTORIA
WHEN: WMAT Round Two
It's a World Martial Arts Tournament SPECIAL EVENT! After winning the WMAT in her first year, and competing again last year, Shizune Nakamura went on to coach her rare model shinki, Tora, through another competitive tournament -- the Battle Rondo! And boy, did that coaching pay off -- Tora went on to win it all! Of course, her victory wasn't celebrated by everyone...former Battle Rondo champion, Victoria, wants her name in the lights again, and she's come to the WMAT to earn it. Join us in watching two top-of-the-line shinki models compete for special WMAT-themed weapons, including a mounted auto-cannon, double-ended battle axe, and cosmetic armor upgrades. You won't believe what these girls can do! Featuring Battle Rondo's Ia and Mary on commentary.
WINNER: Victoria

WHO: D versus MEDUSA GORGON
WHEN: WMAT Round Three
The mysterious Medusa Gorgon faces off against the equally enigmatic D for reasons we wish we could explain! A personal wager is on the line, but how high are the stakes, anyway?! Find out at the fight -- maybe! Commentary provided by Slogra, Gaibon, and Death.
WINNER: Medusa Gorgon
LOG: WMAT Exhibition D vs. Medusa Gorgon

WHO: MISTER SATAN versus LUTE
WHEN: WMAT Round Four
A true hero steps into the ring to face the ultimate force of infamy! Will World Champion Mister Satan finally meet his match?! The spirit of justice will guide our planet's greatest champion as he duels against the Confederacy's most reckless, vile, and contemptible villain, the indomitable Lute! Commentary provided by the ELITE FOUR.
WINNER: Mister Satan Lute Tenshi Hinanai Mister Crabs
LOG: WMAT Exhibition Mister Satan vs. Lute

WHO: SARAH versus SERORI
WHEN: WMAT Exhibition
THE CAT FIGHT OF THE CENTURY! Serori has been holding onto quite a grudge where Sarah's concerned. Though their relationship has been professional and civil for some time, Serori's got a real kink in her tail after Sarah's retirement gift was one prank too far. Eager to prove she's still got what it takes to be a respected force in the Multiverse, Serori won't hold back! It's ice against fire in a battle you won't wanna miss! Commentary provided by Laer and Nyarie.
WINNER: Laer
LOG: WMAT Exhibition Sarah vs. Serori

WHO: MATERIAL-S versus HOMURA AKEMI
WHEN: WMAT Exhibition Week
A match between Material-S, Seikou Starks, two years running champion of Bracket C, and Bracket B's new champion, the Puella Magi Homura Akemi. Dark magical girl against dark magical girl, with nothing at stake except a good show, unless someone throws in surprise prizes.
