Semifinals

Semifinals.

Match 22: Icon vs. Icon: "Silver haired devil" Lee Chaolan vs. "Blood Talon" Hwoarang.

Lee tries to repeat what he did to law but this time, hwoarang's street fighting experience comes into play as he escapes.

"Wow, I never expected him to be worthy enough to escape my attack" says lee.

Lee proceeds to trick hwoarang and goes in the hitman position. Hwoarang does his motion change and immediately goes for a torpedo kick but lee sidesteps and hooks his leg around hwoarang's head and crushes his skull to the ground-face first. Lee wins.

Lee does his back flip winning pose, as crowd cheers.

Match 23: "Female Wandering Warrior" Michelle Chang vs. "Retaliating Female Ninja" Kunimitsu.

Michelle totally overpowers Kunimitsu and finishes her off with a double stomp.

Michelle gives Kunimitsu a post match beatdown by scarring Kunimitsu's body with her own knife.

Match 24: "The Anger of The Beast" King vs. "Raging sumo wrestler" Ganryu.

(Wearing a new pair of Wrestling tights)King takes on Ganryu, and despite some difficulty, finishes him off with a Tombstone Piledriver. King is too devout honorable to take Ganryu's life; however, he does spare a parting barb: "Tubby."

Match 25: "Silent Assassin" Nina Williams vs. "Lightning Scarlet" Anna Williams

Anna miraculously defeats Nina.

Switch the scene to the locker room…

King takes one drink too many –cans of beer. But this booze is drugged, courtesy of King's opponent: Lee Chaolan. King passes out

"Martial Artist" Paul phoenix vs. "Nightmare Impact" Bruce Irvin

Paul Phoenix stuns Bruce with the hammer of the gods and blasts him out of the arena with a Burning Fist.

Match 26: Michelle vs. Anna.

Anna discovers Nina's plans to assassinate Heihachi, Eager to foil her sisters plans she wastes no time by walking out on her match.

Anna and King fail to show up for their bouts, and are therefore disqualified. Paul makes it to face lee in the semifinals. The Iron Fist proceeds to its next round:

Match 27: Lee vs. Paul

Lee and Paul are having it out. Lee hits Paul with his Knee Bash throw. Paul retaliates with his Foot Launch throw, and in one scene, Lee gets the same "undead" look that Kazuya sports, Paul is rather upset because of how Lee cheated against Law. But an instant before Paul can throw Lee out of the ring a "third party ("Heihachi's Men") spears Paul with a poison dart. And Paul hits the ground hard and passes out.

(Note: I know its kinda one sided but this tourney seems to be lucky for Lee!)

Switch back to Nina. Just as she levels gunfire at Heihachi Mishima's chair, she finds that - it's empty? Anna bops Nina over the head. So much for Nina's assassination attempt on Heihachi.

Second Last Semifinal match: Michelle Chang vs. Kazuya Mishima.

Michelle wants to kill Kazuya, for stealing the treasure of her tribe. Kazuya says that if she beats him, Bruce will give her pendant back. Even though Michelle gets a nice Knee Suplex on Kazuya, he snatches her out of her follow-up attack and electrocutes her. Kazuya almost kills her, but at the last second, "an angel in the audience" Jun gets into kazzie's mind and appeals to his better nature. Plus, Angel prevents kazuya from doing further harm. (Ooh! soft side of kaz)

Thus, Saving Michelle's life.

The Final Semifinal match: Brother vs. Brother Grudge-Match: kazuya vs. Lee.

Kaz wastes no time in beating the shit out of Lee and wins the match.

So, Kazuya is the victor of the semifinals. Heihachi is Unhappy that Lee lost because he was counting on lee but also, at the same time he is quite pleased about this.
