From METROCON 2008's Anime Human Chess Match.

This is the penultimate fight of the 2008 Chess Match and, as you will no doubt understand, it is referred to as The Melee. Basically, it involves ALL the characters you've met thus far, and quite a few more.

Once again we were presented with some extremely dramatic lighting, which no doubt lends the perfect mood to this other-worldly battle royale, unfortunately the lighting plays heck with trying to capture clear images on camera. We've done our best to make it as viewable as possible without killing the mood of the fight.

I'm sure it goes without saying, but the planning, training, and skill that goes into doing a fight scene of this magnatude for a live audience is simply staggering. Unbelievable work by the entire cast and crew!
