Season 47, Week 6

[superaielman]

Team CoD (Cloud of Darkness, Georg, Boyd, Rude) vs Team TL (TimeLord, Riou, Beowulf, Jet)

G/H: Zio, Riou, Georg, Hrist, Millenia, Tidus
H/M: Beowulf, Boyd,  Precis, Melbu, Meliadoul, Veronica
M/L: Harle, Chisato, Scythe, Lucius, Rude, Jet

[superaielman]

Team TL. It's TL on a team. Yeah.

G/H: Zio, Riou, Georg, Hrist, Millenia, Tidus

Riou>Zio>Millenia>Tidus>Georg>Hrist

Riou smashes all with Forgiver Sign. Zio isn't spoiled by anyone else, so smashes the field with his durability and damage. Millenia SOMEHOW beats the rest. Dear god. Tidus spoils the two fighters, Georg is just better than Hrist at everything that matters here. Hrist needs out of Godlike, and this is one of the worst pools I've ever seen

How I think it'll go: Riou up, Hrist down? Hard to say with her VP2 boss form in the mix.

H/M: Beowulf,  Precis, Melbu, Meliadoul, Veronica

How I'll vote:

Meliadoul>Beowulf>Precis>Melbu>Veronica

The entire field blocks ID, so Veronica is probably screwed hardcore. Beo.. I'm inclined to give him some draining credit against Melbu, considering just how completely draining owns Melbu in game. Could definitely be argued on that. Rest are obvious. Precis blocks stone/ID and has a 2HKO physical, so she beats the hell out of the scrub bosses. She has an argument against Beo, but I think the odds of him landing a status and not getting peeped are in his favor there.

M/L: Harle, Chisato, Scythe, Lucius, Rude, Jet

Scythe>Lucius=Jet>Chisato=Harle>Rude

Scythe: 5-0
Lucius: 3-2
Jet: 3-2
Chisato: 2-3
Harle: 2-3
Rude: 0-5

Scythe wins this field. His Mevasion keeps him afloat against Lucius, though I'm definitely up for arguments on that one. Lucius loses to Chisato but beats the rest, magic damage is not Jet's friend, she hits a weakness against Harle (and is happy Harle lacks a L5 damage tech), and Rude's just not good enough to beat most of this field, though he's close a few times (Jet,  Chisato, Harle). Chisato elementally walls Lucius and beats Rude. Harle just beats Rude and smashes Chisato.

How I think it'll go:

Chisato down, Jet up.

[Dhyerwolf]

G/H: Zio, Riou, Georg, Hrist, Millenia, Tidus
Riou beats all
Zio should beat everyone else
Millenia comes next!
Then Boss Hrist. Tidus would get past if it wasn't for her evasion, I think. ITE smackage ensues.
Tidus beats Georg.

Riou 5-0
Zio 4-1
Millenia 3-2
Hrist 2-3
Tidus 1-4
Georg 0-5

H/M: Beowulf, Boyd,  Precis, Melbu, Meliadoul, Veronica
Beowulf may just beat everyone but Veronica who at 1.7 PC HP is able to outslug him.
Boyd beats Precis, and is slaughtered by everyone else.
Precis beats...no one. Closest is Veronica, but Veronica 3HKOs and Precis doesn't.
Melbu beats Meliadoul and Veronica.
Veronica beats Meliadoul

Beowulf 4-1
Melbu 4-1
Veronica 3-2
Meliadoul 2-3
Boyd 1-4
Precis 0-5 (Or something like this. Doesn't add up, but whatever).

M/L: Harle, Chisato, Scythe, Lucius, Rude, Jet
Harle loses to Chisato (Evasion), Scythe and Jet (3HKOs first). Probably 3HKOs Rude first, beats Lucius (Killer average, lots of physicals).
Chisato beats Scythe (2HKOs, immunes ID, Scythe 4HKOs her, but she gets her second turn before he gets his 4th I think), CRUSHES Lucius (Hi there Light halving and competent physical damage), Rude (Evasion), and Jet (...Evasion)
Scythe beats Lucius, loses to Rude (I think), beats Jet
Lucius loses to all.

Chisato 5-0
Harle 3-2
Scythe 3-2
Jet 2-3
Rude 2-3
Lucius 0-5

[cloudstrifesheart]

Rude losing to Jet is a joke. An endgame boss losing to the worst pc in Wild Arms 3. He was the coolest, but still the worst

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

G/H: Zio, Riou, Georg, Hrist, Millenia, Tidus

Riou brutalizes everyone. Zio mops everybody else. Millenia mops the other PCs, doesn't get OHKOed/statused on turn one to me. Tidus handles the physically reliant losers, and Georg handles Hrist due to the evade, higher speed and status resistance. Hrist weeps and downgrades.

H/M: Beowulf, Boyd,  Precis, Melbu, Meliadoul, Veronica

Meli handles Beo, who handles Precis, who handles Melbu, who handles Meli. Weird circle. Meli herself kills the PCs, while Melbu "spoils" Meliadoul due to her damage just sucking without breaking even if she mocks the status. Beo... I probably give him the draining credit too, even the draining sucking can deal with 15HKO DAMAGE ZOMG that becomes a 5HKO to Beo HP in the last stretch. 

M/L: Harle, Chisato, Scythe, Lucius, Rude, Jet

Scythe > Harle > Jet > Chisato > Lucius > Rude. Scythe vs. Harle is weird, but the chipping getting screwed by the evade some and Harle not being able to get her big damage until turn two gets her too pressured, is my kneejerk. Harle handles the rest of the losers, though, against Lucius, the weakness gets mitigated by mdef and her physical power isn't bad, and she's just a better slugger than the Lights. Jet just goes first against Chisato and gets a bit stronger as the match goes while Chisato doesn't. Chisato 2HKOs Lucius and walls his damage, while Lucius... I think he doubles Rude with Lightning, which makes things ugly for the Turk, since Rude doesn't OHKO. Anyway.

[Dhyerwolf]

Rude losing to Jet is a joke. An endgame boss losing to the worst pc in Wild Arms 3. He was the coolest, but still the worst

An endgame boss with lackluster HP, speed, and no other tricks besides straight up damage!

[Bardiche]

Team match goes to TimeLord.

Riou's Forgiver Sign + TimeLord = game.

[cloudstrifesheart]

all jet has is damage as well, one gatling will not finish rude off

[Ryogo]

Jet has speed on him too though, as much as it pains me to say.

I <3 Rude.
