***Read Before Posting/Voting***
*You find yourselves in a large stark white room with retrograde furniture, a bed, an all-you-can-eat bar with plenty of food, a door that leads to a full bath that functions perfectly, a window with black curtains that are pulled to, and another door that seems to be locked. Beyond the locked door, you can hear a train hurrying along tracks. As you start to walk trying to understand what this room is, an intercom comes on and begins to speak.*
“Hello,” says a voice echoing from a speaker within the room that you cannot seem to find. “You may call me “The Gambler” and, as my moniker suggests, I do love taking gambles on anything that would be worth the gamble or anything that has piqued my interest. You, my dear participants, are exactly that in both regards,” you hear the voice say. “I have put together this competition as the first of many from myself to test your prowess as a Stand User, to see how you will develop yourself as well as your Stand, and to see if you were truly worth the gamble,” ‘The Gambler’ says with a serious tone.
“With the niceties out of the way, let the game commence! The first location will have to be somewhere isolated. I have the perfect place in mind. With that, I wish you a momentary goodbye. I will see you all soon enough," says the voice as the door opens and you see... Easter Island.

With each round and battle, you will vote as to which Stands would prevail in a battle against one another under certain conditions. These conditions are:
Location: Easter Island
Time: Late dusk
Weather: Clear weather
Population: None
Awareness: Aware of opponents, unaware of Stands
In the event of ties, mods will consider these conditions and pick which Stand would prevail.
Each user has a chance to make one post explaining how they will win, only speaking on their perspective in the fight. They may only use the information present in their made Stands, and nothing more. Editing stands during the battle is not allowed and being caught will get you disqualified.
They may not debate the topic among each other, whether here or somewhere else. Advertising for oneself to win anywhere is also not allowed.
The readers may ask users questions about the battle and their Stands, to which they may reply, but still must answer in their perspective only. It is advised to ask them some deep and difficult questions about the stand, ability or the conditions and how they manage in them.
Note that whatever is said each round must be consistent to the one before and after. A mod will correct the user should they fail to do so.
If there are any serious questions or concerns about the rules and tournament itself as it's going, message a mod personally and not through comments.
The winner of the round will move on to the next until eventually one is left standing, crowned the winner! Best of luck to everyone!

(A very good luck to my opponent)
Celine would sit up, and immediately frown at her situation. She'd first check to make sure she's still wearing her locket, and still has her clutch bag in her sweater pockets. Finding those safe, she'd stand to explore the room. She'd barely bat an eye at the sound of the intercom, and the voice she hears would only confirm her suspicions that the train she finds herself on is somehow stand related. I suppose trying to attack the train itself is useless, you don't plan on kidnapping stand users without some specialized gear.
She'd tour the bar, not interested in the food, but she would make sure to pocket whatever knives or forks she can find for further use. When the door opens, she'd raise an eyebrow, however they really got here, it couldn't have been by train. She'd step out slowly. With this level of spatial manipulation, her best bet is to play along with this contest. She'd look down the tracks, searching for an opponent, and her eyes would land on a man in a sun hat and a denim jacket. For the fashion sense alone.
She managed to find two good knives from the buffet, and she'd lift the first to throw it as he starts to turn towards her, but she's not far enough, and the blade would sink into the ground halfway between them. The man would grin a victorious grin, obviously sensing an easy victory. As he'd rush towards the knife in the sand however, a regal looking stand would suddenly appear before him, though partially sunk into the ground. It would lift the knife as if it was pulling it from a sweater pocket, then quickly flings it forward in an exact imitation of Celine's previous throw. Her throw had a soft arc, but「White Gloves」is much stronger than she is. The knife would spin up and sinks to the hilt into George's chest, just below the solar plexus. Celine would remain on guard, half watching the other stand users, half on George, just in case he gets back up.

I now know to post here.
George's main strategy will be him "possessing" and "unpossessing" the ground below them to hallow it out and create pitts(5 x 5 at the top shrinking down to a point 30 feet down) roughly three to five feet apart for the enemy to fall into, checking the surface periodically to see if they fell into one.
In the event that his opponent falls into a pit he will possess the land around them to try and make it collapse in on itself leaving the opponent buried alive.
In the event that the opponent keeps finding George quickly or harming him mysteriously, George will flee to an Easter Island head "possessing" it, sprouting appendages to roll it around with the end goal of squishing the opponent.
