Coming off of an exciting semi-finals week, both the Rebel Penguin Federation and Army of Club Penguin were entering the Fright or Fight finals with all the momentum in the world. The RPF – ACP matchup is almost as old as the army scene itself. The Rebels maxed 110 penguins online in their semi finals matchup against the Help Force, while the Army of Club Penguin maxed an astounding 113 against the Ice Warriors, beating their CPPS record. With sizes poised to be similar, this battle would come down to speed, crisp forms, and speedy and creative tactics. Judged by Fright or Fight judges LuciferStar, Cassie, and Kingfunks4, this battle was shaping up to be one for the history books.

The Army of Club Penguin fired back with tactics like “DON’T BE TOO MISREBEL IF YOU LOSE” and “THE CPREWRITTEN ARMIES STAY WINNING!” ACP bombed out of their plus form into a V-esque form.
