Page 93 – Dominate
This update is all about Sun and her showing her dominance in the ring. She’s trying to use every bit of the ring as well as exploiting any weaknesses of her opponent. That being said, Schoolgirl Valentine could still make a comeback and show the rookie upstart a thing or two. Or maybe Sun makes Sara reconsider the importance of strategy over how cute her outfit is. What do you think?
In panel 4, is it obvious that the stars around Sara’s knee indicated pain and discomfort? If not, I’ll keep trying to find a visual way to convey that.
More to come of this match either way next update!
Don’t forget to check out the new Hell’s Belles wallpaper that you can download from the EXTRAS page.
And to check out that crazy wicked move in panel 5, the Shining Wizard, another youtube link and another five seconds.
I like this page… I really like it… Sun dominate the ring.. Sun all over… AHAHHAHH..
Panel 1 and two: Excellent… Summersault legdrop..
Panel 3: Dropkick to the knee, excellent.. She really follows famous wrestler techniques.. targeting the knee.. Bret “The Hitman” Hart… and “the Nature Boy” Ric Flair..
Panel 5: Shining wizard, that’s damn…
looking at that last panel..Sun might be setting up for the Atomic Fusion.. I call it “Shuriken Elbow” .. there’s a chance that Sun won’t used the Atomic Fusion yet.. she’ll go for the leg drop..like in episode 41, what she did to Krystin..
Option 1: if Sun hits the atomic fusion, I call it “Shuriken Elbow”.. 1…..2……3…..
AND YOUR WINNER.. “LIL DRAGON” Sun “Shinobi” Wong…
Option 2: there might be a chance that “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine, might roll way.. then Sun on a weaken state.. Sara capatlize with her Sara Go round.. 🙁 Poor Sun.. I hope that won’t happen.. but even with that Sara go round.. I don’t think, it will make Sun knockout..
Option 3: what if Sun missed the atomic fusion, then Sara preparing to execute the Sara Go round.. then again missed. then again Sun capitalize with a backstabber on Sara, then Sun quickly go over the top rope and execute the Atomic Fusion “Shuriken Elbow” that might be an end… Nice…
Or maybe Sun makes Sara reconsider the importance of strategy over how cute her outfit is..
Importance of strategy.. Brooke and Krystin loss without a strategy.. what if Sun loss with a strategy.. 🙁
But if Sun win, using her strategy.. I think, she can just laugh at Brooke and Krystin, as if going to a war, without knowing how to attack the enemies..
I really hate to see Sun, loss again..Sun really an exciting wrestler, not like “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini..
Difference Between Sun and Sabrina, is that Sun. don’t mind the audience cheering for her. she just doing her job with fire up and awesome moves.. while Sabrina with one good moves, she raises her hand and smiles towards the audience as if she had won, eventhough the match hasn’t finish yet.
I REALLY HOPE THE ATOMIC FUSION “Shuriken Elbow” EXECUTED GREAT HERE.. coz we already saw the Ultrasplash, Divabreaker and the vertibreaker. and the atomic fusion hasn’t yet appeared..
In my opinion.. Sun really really deserve to win.. really deserve to win..
“Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine, I got two words for you: STAY DOWN..
And after the match.. Sun will grab the microphone.. and say “YOU JUST GOT NINJA’D”
COME ON SUN… COME ON SUN…
IKE!!!IKE!!!SHINOBI!!!IKE..IKE!!!SHINOBI… SUGOI!!!SHINOBI…
COME ON SUN…
Damn!! have to wait til monday.. this is very exciting….hahahahhah…
*The stars* and the look on Sara’s face convey her pain. It would be nice to see Sara roll out and get the advantage for a little while, but it’s kind of nice to see Sun dominating, too. But, if Sun does completely outmatch Sara, it’s almost like the last match in reverse.
As someone has mentioned before, looking at Sara’s hair in the last panel shows she’s taking a beating.
Albone, in the last panel Sun is outlined, but I don’t see an outline under her right arm; is that because her leg is too close to her arm for there to be a need for an outline? Similarly, there isn’t an outline on the rope and Sara’s head; does that need to be fixed?
-A. mouse
Sara’s been taking a lot of abuse in these last two pages.
But she’s taken it without putting up too much of a fight. I’m pretty sure she still has some energy reserves, while Sun is going truogh her fuel on afterburner. Sure, all those hits Sara collected oughtta hurt, but I don’t think Sara’s as far gone as Sun and the fans may think.
She’s been lying down there quite calmly, and a pause like the one Sin’s giving her by climbing onto the top rope can be quite enough for Sara to recollect her strength.
I’m with Jeff on this one. I predict Sara rolling away and Sun hitting the mat in a rather unpleasant way. Whether or not Sara’s got enough energy left to actually turn the whole match around remains to be seen. But I still give both girls about 50/50 chances.
Noooo! Sassy wouldnt get beaten this quickly 😉 I really hope she moves and Sun misses, then starts to make a comeback. Plus im biased, Sassy seems too good of a character to get wiped out easily.
I predict Sassy comes back and hits her finisher, plus itd be good for Sun to be out-highflied 😀 Great artwork. I love the legdrop in panel 2.
Sun, targeted Sara’s leg.. I think it’s great move.. it will be very effective to stop the Sara Go Round.. and with that will put Sara on the ground, and which will be easy for Sun executing the Atomic Fusion( Shuriken Elbow)..
Panel 4: Is it a combination hit. like the first, stump on the knee then kneed on Sara’s chin. it’s kinda like combination hit.
Sun really kicking the hell out of Sara. Did know what hit Sara. just like when Sara begin to stand up.. Sun is there wasting no time, in which Sara can’t have a break or a breather.
I really like Sun to win.. Come On Sun…
LET’S GO DRAGON…LET’S GO DRAGON!!
“Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine really got brutallize by Sun.. Sun’s gonna win..
I really like to see this:
“Lil Dragon” Sun “Shinobi” Wong Win….BRUTALITY…actually it’s a brutality..
COME ON SHINOBI SUN….
The stars work, it’s a universally understood signal, but when you called attention to it I went back for a closer look and the placement could have been a touch better. Right now it almost looks like the stars are coming from Sun’s foot more than Sara’s knee. Putting them to the left (i.e. in “front” of the affected portion, might be a little more specific. But overall a great page. In fact, the lightening pace that you’re taking these last fights is much better (in my opinion) than the drawn-out fight between the Upstarts earlier 🙂 Your pacing is improving because this feels more like watching a real fight.
MGC, I’m glad you like the page! Sun doesn’t have this match wrapped up, her strategy is sound but it could backfire as all high risk manuevers have a high risk, high reward outcome. Even if we see the Atomic Fission, we still might not see Sun actually HIT it. XD Back to Sun’s strategy, she likes to use her educated feet and blitz Sara before she can react, and its working so far. I think Sara’s got a bit of a following now, so win or lose, I think we’ll see the Schoolgirl again. I think Sun’s weakness right now is showing off. She’s not getting the crowd involved like Sabrina, but she’s definitely showing off. Not a bad thing at all, because who doesn’t like Sun? But it could definitely become a problem.
A Mouse, thanks for the comments! I’m glad the stars are working like they should. XD And check out the eagles eyes on you! Yes, the outline was done like that intentionally as I wanted to make a break between the thicker line of Sara’s shoulder and the black background. At the time, I didn’t think an outline was needed for the hair, but now that you mention it, I think it would look better, if not more complete.
Way to weigh in JackAce on Sara’s side! She’s taken a beating but the schoolgirl just might surprise you. Let’s see if you and Jeff are right about Sara! Find out on Monday!
Hahha Matt! Well, think more Sara Valentine than Sassy. 😉 We could still see the “Sara Go Round/After School Special” yet. And because of the interest in Sara Valentine, we’ll definitely be seeing more of her in the future. Thanks for the comments too, I appreciate it.
Hi Scraps!! I haven’t been around Dimestore as much as I like, but I’m thrilled that you read Rival Angels and commented!! 🙂 I think you hit the nail on the head with the stars and if I can work it like you suggested, I’m going to. If nothing else for the print version. Thanks for weighing in on the match speed as well. Its always a balancing act between the wrestling and the story so I’m glad its working especially with two more matches left (Sabrina vs Loretta and Monica Rumble vs Kat Smith) on the card. Thanks again!
“Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine’s finisher is called “After School Special (A.$.$) ” or that’s her alternate finisher?
So let’s say Option 1, isn’t gonna happen. that’s leave option 2 or option 3. which is kinda nice to see, so this match won’t be a blowout like what happen in Krystin and Brooke match, purely one sided..
The Good thing, is that it will be great for entertainment, still more action to ahead.. The bad thing, is that can Sun endure longer?
As Albone stated “but I think the longer a match goes favors the ring vet over the rookie because the ring vet is less likely to make a mistake and the ring vet is more likely to capitalize on a mistake and put their opponent away.”
I think even “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine hit that “After School Special” I really don’t think it can even knockout Sun and for the win.. Only a two count..
I think this will happen, “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine hits the After School Special, only for a two count, then Sun kicks out. Sara is disbelief, so Sara quickly complain the referee fo the slow count.. then Sun sneaks behind Sara and excuted the Backstabber, then Sun quickly jump on the top turnbuckle and hit the Atomic Fusion successfully.. then 1….2…..3….
Here your winner: “Lil Dragon” Sun “Shinobi” Wong…
Or maybe this will happen. “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine hits the After School Special, only for a two count, then Sun kicks out. Sara is disbelief, so Sara quickly complain the referee fo the slow count. So Sara quickly walk out and then grabs a steelchair. then Sara quickly walked back to the ring, but the referee saw the steelchair, the refree interfer and grab the steelchair, then suddenly a sweet chin music hit Sara.. Sara drop like a rock, then Sun quickly jumps on the top turnbucke and hit the Atomic fusion successfully.. 1….2…..3..
Here your winner: “Lil Dragon” Sun “Shinobi” Wong…
I really say.. they’re evenly match.. Sun have her mist.. maybe Sara had a spray paint..
I can imagine if this will happen, if Sun losses.. if Sun is unconscious and beaten in this match.. 🙁
Sara will grab a pen and even draw things on Sun’s face, or a spray paint and spray Sun’s back.. just like N.W.O. did.. 🙁
Awesome page!
Just a quick ad on..
I think Sun still got the advantage over Sara. Sara got the ring expirience in Rival Angel..but overall like the speed, sneakiness, high flying manuver, ability, Sun’s got the advantage..
I say Sun will win this match..
Good thing, is that Sun’s opponent is not Brooke… coz just one mistake, specially on a high risk manuver.. Brooke can capitalize and convert it to her finisher which is the Vertibreaker.. in which Sun can’t take that devastating damage..
Looking at Sara Valentine, her wins I think is only by pulling tights, steelchairs and using rope for leverage.
Sun’s only weakness in a wrestling match: (IMO)
1. when her opponent is a powerhouse.
2. Keeping Sun grounded.
3. wrestler frequently using summission moves..
Come On Sun….Come on Sun….
IKE!!!SHINOBI!!!
Let’s Go Dragon……Let’s Go Dragon….
Still more well done action, excellent pacing and composition. Sun’s speed really comes through in panel five.
An idea for the pain stars: to show different degrees of pain there could be different styles of rays shooting out from the afflicted spot.
Minor pain: dashed lines
Major pain: heavy lines ( and more stars )
Really intense pain: little lightning bolts.
Awwww… gotta wait *two* days ’till Monday…
awww poor Sara. I thought I’d be ecstatic to see Sun win her first match, but Sara has grown on me in the few days she’s been around ;.; lol. I have a feeling she’s been worked over to much to be dodging, but maybe she has just enough to dodge and have Sun crash and burn. Another possibility is a run in. There’s of course Krystin who was still seems upset about Sun working her leg over on the post in the four way and there’s also Loretta who is likely still mad about getting misted. She could come down and take out both Sun and Sara, causeing a double DQ and claim she’s tired of waiting for Sab lol. That could also fire up Sab. a little more, seeing her best friend robbed a win and injured.
Another little note about the Sassy one, I was thinking about her theme. To keep with her gimmick and a classic rock feel like “Hell’s Bells”, Sara could use “School’s Out” by Alice Cooper <.< lol.
Those are some good thoughts MGC, I would not disagree about Sun’s disadvantages either. Sara drawing on Sun’s face, should she win is pretty funny. I might have to use that. 😉
RDF, thanks! I like the idea behind the pain indication and I think I might have to use that! You guys are awesome with the great suggestions. Monday’s a-coming!
Hey Nappa! It’s true that Sara has gotten herself a following in these few short days, so we’ll be seeing more of her in the future. She is after all, in the TV tournament. Good thoughts about how this match might end and good memory with Krystin. She really hasn’t forgotten about that. School’s out is good, though I’m thinking something more modern, and in this case borderline annoying with Brittany Spears Hit Me Baby, One More Time but we’ll see. 😀
I thought of “Hit me Baby”, but I guess I thought of Sara as more punky then preppy <.< lol. I also thought of “Be True to Your School” by the Beach Boys, but that may be a stretch heh.
Bowling for Soup: High School Never Ends.

P.O.D- School of Hardknocks is good for “Sassy Schoolgirl” Sara Valentine..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHFBdQUSUFM
it’s unbelievable that Sara Valentine became quiete famous.. eventhough she hasn’t showed great offense yet. I think good that if Krystin got fired. then Sara Valentine move in the upstart apartment, even though she’s not an upstart.
Nappa, the good thing about Sara is that she can be preppy OR punky. 😉 Really she just needs something up tempo or in the case of Spears song, it carries a lot of imagery to the schoolgirl look.
JackAce, that song is pretty upbeat and it could work for Sara. Hmmmm, decisions….
MGC, I like POD and this song, but I think its a little too much for our little schoolgirls image. Its crazy how popular Sara has gotten in such a short amount of time but the schoolgirl archetype goes a long way I think.
I gotta agree with M.G.C.’s comment from last page about Sun and Sara forming a tag team. These two might not be made out to become the closest of friends, but I think they could be quite effective as a tag team.
Also, they both know that playing dirty is just another part of the game, so they’re not likely to take anything that’s happening between them in the ring as cause for a long-lasting feud.
I wouldn’t expect these two to go out clubbing together, but I could see them sitting in the locker room after the match, discussing the moves they made and those would have made if they’d gotten the chance…
Its certainly something to think about, Sara and Sun becoming a team. The only hitch is if it would interfere with Sun’s plans on becoming a part of the stable, Damage Incorporated and where the Sassy schoolgirl stands in relation to that. If nothing else, they could be the new East Coast/West Coast tag team!
I remain in Sun’s corner, but don’t think she should get the win JUST yet. Let the Schoolgirl show some more moves off first before meeting a sound end.
The prospect of the schoolgirl and the ninja forming a tag team would be quite interesting, especially compared to her roommate’s recent performance.
Hey Majin! Sun has really been taking it to the Schoolgirl hasn’t she? Hard to tell what will happen next! 😛 Krystin and Brooke showed that you need some good tag team chemistry to succeed, so it remains to be seen if it would work, but as you say, interesting. Hmmmm…..
All this talk of high school songs got me thinking about that song that has lyrics something like this, “…I wanna run through the halls of my high school, I wanna scream at the top of my lungs, I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world, Just a lie you’ve got to rise above…” and that “we were merely freshmen” song. I don’t know that either of them would be good as Sara’s theme, but I didn’t think it’d hurt to share them. I can see why a modern song would be appealing, but I think the Alice Cooper song is a good one to consider, too. Maybe not the whole song; but I think there are parts of it that are upbeat enough.
I find the idea of Sun and Sara being a tag team interesting, but I’m not sure how well that would work out. We haven’t seen a lot of Sara’s style, so we don’t know how well their styles of fighting would work together. We know they both are willing to play dirty, but that doesn’t mean they’ll play dirty in the same ways. I agree that Sun wouldn’t take anything that happened in the ring personally; I’m not as sure about Sara, but I think she probably wouldn’t either. I think they’d do better than Brooke and Krystin, but that’s not saying much.
Albone, I notice you’ve changed the commenting set-up to include avatars, and gotten rid of the alternating colors. I like the avatars, but I’ll miss the alternating colors.
And UGH! “Hit Me Baby”? Are you trying to make us ill? 😉 If you can’t tell, I don’t like that song. But, sadly, I have to admit it might work well for Sara. Ultimately, it’s your call, but my vote is NOT any of her (or any of the blonde look-a-likes’) songs.
-A. mouse
What if Sun and Sara started up their own stable? The could be tweeners in that despite the fact they cheat, the funs love them. As for a third member and possible leader mentor could be…
BOLD PREDICTION TIME
Jenny Needles. <..> lol.
Ha ha A Mouse! ‘Hit Me Baby’ would be purposefully antagonizing, Sara’s would be looking for that kind of appeal. 😛
Y’know, I might be able to fix the alternating colors thing, I just gotta see how tough it is to code the CSS because I liked the alternating colors too. And as far as Sun and Sara, definitely a possibility, but Sun’s got her sights set on joining the Damage Inc stable, which we haven’t really seen except for at the party way back on page 28 or 29 and then it was only for one panel. Plus, since the match isn’t over, we don’t know how they’ll react, but we’ll see soon.
Ah, bold prediction indeed Nappa! A stable of Jennifer, Sun and Sara would be pretty cool, but actually I think Jennifer and Sara would get along than Sun and either of them, but that’s just thinking off the top of my head. Still, a very cool thought, the three of them together. They’d cause a lot of mischief. In fact, they’d probably be calle “Miss Cheavious,” or something. Again, off the top of my head. 😛
Alan, the art keeps getting better and better, loving Suns match so far, but boy are those cat sisters or whatever evil bitches lol 🙂
anyway, i am of course, routing for Sun here!
Hey Adam, I always appreciate your comments, so thanks!! And thanks for the compliment on the art! I think these next coming pages are also very good. 😉 Sun loves your support.
Albone, I’m not surprised that Sara would like it for that reason. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to vote for something else. Ultimately, it’s your choice, but you don’t seem to mind reader input, so I thought I’d share my opinion. 😛
-A. mouse
I absolutely don’t mind reader input, A Mouse and I really do appreciate you and everyone’s input and comments. 🙂 So thank you!
