Title: FIT Season 52, Semifinals
Post by: Sir Donald 3.2 on July 09, 2009, 04:18:41 AM
Ok guys... let's see how things went:

In Godlike, Jenna Angel is continuing her rage against Pool Leaders:

Piastol   3
Elc   0

TimeLord   1
Jenna Angel   4

Ryu3   5
CoD   0

Loki   5
Kefka   1

But in Heavy, the Sinstral of Death got into a Deathlock with a Wooden Doll!

Geno   3
Erim   3


Marsilio   1
Lady Harken   5

Lyon   6
Renee   0

Bosch   3
Nina4   0

Ken tried to imitate last Season's champ... but furry yaoi doesn't turn enough heads... especially when it only lasts a few minutes...

Joachim   3
Aelia   0

Adell   1
Mizuki   3

Ken   2
Nanaki   3

Noa   4
Anna   0

And finally, the Suiko-Invasion of the FIT has been blunted... by a CC character...  and KAAAAHHHHHNNNN!!!!!

Beecham   0
Zappa   4

Nanami   0
Shabon   6

Hugh   2
Yushis   2


Landis   1
Kahn   4

And leave it to the non-Suiko match to pull another tie.

So let's run the tiebreaks:  Votes + Average + Noms/10 + DL Record:

Geno   3+1.000+3/10+4.39=8.69
Erim   3+0.625+6/10+4.48=8.705

Hugh   2+1.000+5/10+2.49=5.99
Yushis   2+0.800+3/10+2.94=6.04

So Erim and Yushis advance in their respective divisions, but they get the Possession Arrow pointing against them.  Good news for Lady Harken and Last Season's Light FIT Champ.  On the flip side, Zappa is no longer afflicted with the Arrow, so he can face the last Suikoscrub (and Pool Winner!) at full power!

Incidentally, the resolutions to both tiebreaks prevented Rematches.  One of Season 52, the other of Season 51 Playoffs.  The 3-2 vote in Middle, however...

So, matches:

It's the Battle of the Heavens (Part 1?) as two Angels collide!  Also, can Ryu3 do better than last Season, or will a certain Trickster enable a BotH Part 2?

In Heavy, forget Lady Harken, can the Sinstral of Death survive the Possession Arrow?  And which "5th game" will prove superior?

(http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/S5_Lyon.png) vs (http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/BoF5_Bosch.png)

In Middle, Joachim is now the only thing standing between Noa and a repeat FIT title.  Because the other 2 Semifinalists are rematches... this week's from this Season's Pool 3.

(http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/FF7_Nanaki.png) vs (http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/LoL_Noa.png)

And in Light, can the Champ win without needing to invoke the Possession Arrow?  And can Zappa run his close entry all the way to the Finals?

(http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/CC_Zappa.png) vs (http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/S3_Shabon.png)
(http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/OB_Yushis.png) vs (http://www.rpgdl.com/Images/BoF4_Kahn.png)

Textual:

Piastol vs Jenna Angel
Ryu3 vs Loki

Erim vs Lady Harken
Lyon vs Bosch

Joachim vs Mizuki
Nanaki vs Noa

Zappa vs Shabon
Yushis va Kahn


And, as a reminder, if there is a tie in their respective matches, Erim and Yushis would automatically lose.

Voting ends Monday Night.

Only match I can vote on:

Joachim vs Mizuki - Edit: Oh, Grand Slam was ITE, wasn't it? Welp, this is a no-brainer, then.

Ryu3 vs Loki: Yup.

Erim vs Lady Harken: Erim is triggering counters here, and allowing a mean Maximum Risk. Harken quite possibly instant doubles, too.
Lyon vs Bosch: Faster. Isn't OHKOed (it only takes a small amount of parrying to mess Bosch up even if he does OHKO her normally, I forget his precise raw damage), and easily 2HKOs.

Joachim vs Mizuki: She has substantially more speed and damage.

Zappa vs Shabon: Evade, sleep, and healing, as usual.

Piastol vs Jenna Angel- Piastol kills a form, doubles and then kills the evil form.
Ryu3 vs Loki- Respect going first in VP more than being marginally above average speed in a TB game (At least for turn 1, which is what matters!). Indiscriminate still kills on average.

Erim vs Lady Harken
Lyon vs Bosch- Final form takes a hit, and OHKOs her.

Joachim vs Mizuki- Mizuki is 130% speed to me, and therefore needs Joachim to be about 87% speed to 3-2. Since he isn't, he gets in 2 shots of ID before she gets to 3HKO.
Nanaki vs Noa- Gut. Nanaki blocks Charm, but Noa is great at chipping.

Zappa vs Shabon
Yushis va Kahn

If Joachim's ID isn't ITE (stat topic doesn't say!), he needs more than two shots. Also, Grand Slam has a slightly slower recharge time, and... to be fair, this doesn't push Joachim below 88% for turn 2. But if you have an even slightly higher respect for TB speed, then it does. (For me, Mizuki doesn't even need the slow recharge time, since I see her as 144% minimum, possibly higher depending on how many people can join her in using Tai Chi Garb).

Piastol vs Jenna Angel- Donno
Ryu3 vs Loki

Erim vs Lady Harken
Lyon vs Bosch

Joachim vs Mizuki- Grand slam.
Nanakivs Noa- Red is definitely 2HKOing here. I don't think Noa can 2HKO effectively enough here.

Zappa vs Shabon
Yushis va Kahn- Need to doublecheck Yushis.

Piastol vs Jenna Angel: Not sure Jenna can lose.
Ryu3 vs Loki: Kaiser is a monstrosity.

Erim vs Lady Harken: Worst combo of forms for Harken here!
Lyon vs Bosch: Fast heavy damage.

Joachim vs Mizuki: I guess his ID was evade-ignoring?
Nanaki vs Noa: The whole "Huge damage shot" thing is good for getting around limits.

Zappa vs Shabon
Yushis va Kahn
