The Tiger Fist team of hunters are looking for a few good targets:

[Aerial shot of the stadium, spiralling zoom in on the crowd and the
arena:
'A beautiful evening here in Metropolis, for the next round of the most
popular Game in the World!!! B R U T A L...D E L U X E!!!
Lets meet the contestants for this round and first up is:

'Boyo'- Leader of the Tiger Fist Brutal Zone hunter team.

[Background: head&shoulders shot of Boyo, ruggedly handsome face,
cleanshaven, smiling. Long blonde hair held back by a white headband with
the tiger fist emblem on the forehead. ]
Voiceover by the commentator:
"Yes folks, this contender for the most popular Hunter award for this
season has been in many a scrape. Still his boyish good looks, long blonde
hair and sunny smile would have ensured his nomination even if he wasnt a
flamboyant player of The Game!
[Pull back on the camera revealing the lithe body. vital stats scroll up
the screen left. Wearing a white jacket and trousers, again with the tiger
fist emblem on the left breast and large on the back, pan round.]
"At 6 foot 2", this martial arts expert loves to show off his moves,
effortlessly bringing down prey and game alike, and the crowd loves it!
One
of his most popular and dangerous manoeuvers is the flying double
somersault katana decapitation, and who hasnt seen it on the vidreplays?
Boyo is a true artieste among the many hack and slay merchants of this
demanding sport.
[Cut to slomo replay of the above move, perfectly executed (sic)
decapitation of a hapless prey unit. Much blood spurts from the neck of
the
victim as it takes several steps before collapsing in a heap of guts and
gore.]
"Ably backed up by his team, the Tiger Fist, although newcomers to the
arena
this season they have managed to capture the imagination and the hearts of
many of the public, and we wish them all the best in the upcoming match!
[Quick shot of entire team (Boyo, Moose and Spider) in team colours as
above. Moose is large and hulking, draped with ammunition and heavy
weaponry, Spider lithe and shifty-looking,  seemingly unarmed.]
"We turn to welcome now......."
[Cut to commentator, fade out......]

Is your team up to the challenge?
