Before my conclusion, I'd like to analyze the important details of match which will lead to my conclusion.
Brian played a Special Ability card which reduced both Maria and Alana's Bakugans' power levels to 0G. Maria negated all Ability cards, and then listed her Bakugan having a 500G power level. This right here, is an error. Why? I smell word play here, and if I am correct, Maria negated all Ability cards. Brian played a Special Ability card, which means his card isn't affected. Therefore, Maria's Bakugan should still be at 0G, not 500G. If her negation affected all effects, she would have gotten away with it. Maria earned a strike.
Brian used a second Special Ability, which is obviously illegal. The rule allows the use of one of the said type per round. Brian earned his first strike. On top of that, the rule also states that it is illegal to use a Special/Fusion Ability card to prevent your opponent from using Ability cards. Strike two. The card wasn't in his Bakupack, neither was it ever made. Strike three and four.
If anyone should win, it would be Alana, because her power switch with Brian puts her ahead of Maria. Besides, she never earned a strike.

And with that, another module has been solved! Zoom, you're alright with me, sir. I mentioned how wording was important and that I was testing to see how well you could pay attention, and Zoom did a superb job in analyzing the situation I created.
A lot of you easily pointed out how Brian was disqualified for the move he made with the second special ability. For some odd reason, no one except for Zoom could pick up on Maria's mistake. Most of you just skipped over her completely. You have to pay closer attention.
Ability Breaker is a well-known card here. If you go to the card list, you'll see that it negated Ability Cards. This is important. The card is only able to negate Ability Cards, just like it said. You cannot use Ability Breaker to negate a Special Ability Card, because Special Ability Cards are not the same as Ability Cards. Keep that in mind as we walk through this.
I said that Brian played a Special Ability Card that sent both Alana and Maria to 0G. I then said that Maria played an Ability Card to negate all Ability Cards. This was the important detail that most of you missed. Because Maria's card only negated Ability Cards, Brian's card was still active, so her setting her power level at 500G was a strike. In reality, she ended her turn with 0G, which - as we all are aware - means that she is defeated.
So Maria was the first person to drop out, and then Brian was disqualified later. Alana wins the brawl for obvious reasons at that point.

Zoom, you did a fantastic job, so I'll just give you all of the rewards I listed. You're going to get $4000, 500 honor points, and you get 2 free wins towards your next evolution/upgrade. Enjoy.

Like last time, this is meant for educational purposes. It is my hope that all of you understand the importance of how you word certain things, whether it is on this site or in our living hell daily lives. Hopefully, you can take advantage of some of your opponents if you notice they worded their effects in such a way that it could potentially give you an advantage. Until next time.
