Godlike:

Losers:

Terra Branford (FF6) vs. Shania (SH:FtNW) - Think this is right.


Heavy

Losers:

Asellus (SaGa) vs. Geno (SMRPG) - Ah, well.


Middle:

Losers:

Machias Regnitz (ToCS2) vs. Stocke (RH) - Repeat.


Light

Winners:

Marianne von Edmund (FE3H) vs. Zhuzhen Liu (SH1) - Unless my recollection of SH1 status duration is completely cooked (no charm does nothing in venin edge like situations which this clearly is) I'm not sure how Zhuzhen makes any meaningful amount of damage stick before he runs out of SP, his best damage here is his physical which 4HKOs before Renewal and that shouldn't be good enough.

Losers:

Annette Fantine Dominic (FE3H) vs. Hubert von Vestra (FE3H) - Mire means Hubert wins threat range and the counter game and if Annette comes at him with anything heavier with a training axe she gets doubled by it.  Never mind the fact that Banshee kills Annette's range 1 offense anyways.  Anyways Annette's mdur is pretty much dead average and should be 5HKO'd by Mire+a finisher of some sort at worst and the best she can muster here is... an effective 3HKO and since Mire means she goes second she's not winning a damage race even if Banshee weren't a consideration.

Godlike:

Losers:
Terra Branford (FF6) vs. Shania (SH:FtNW) - Without looking up any numbers, I think Shania has the advantage...barring letting Terra get her over-leveled spells. Dream porter letting her double act here is huge and the recovery lag can be softened due to Stanlittobell. Terra's best bet might be to try outstalling Shania's SP but that's pretty rough - even without consideration of the Flare Brooch.

Heavy

Winners:
Lady Elmina Harken (WA:ACF) vs. Nel Zelpher (SO3) - Uh...Nel might OHKO here. Ice Falchion let's her hit weakness and cancelled Freezing Daggers into Mirror Dance is a lot of damage even on base. To add insult to injury here, techs are parry-proof in ACF so Harken's 100% relying on evade and those attacks are multi-hit.


Middle:

Winners:
Jude Maverick (WA4) vs. MOMO Mizrahi (XSs) - Form choice mattering for god knows however many fights now, but Jude is dead if MOMO3 gets a turn. Abyss Walker basically eats his entire skillset and then MOMO can just pump out Magic Damage. MOMO1 I think loses. Jude probably heal locks after a physical is my kneejerk due to MOMO's bad P.Dur but will need some number crunching to be more accurate.

Losers:
Machias Regnitz (ToCS2) vs. Stocke (RH) - Rematch. I'm pretty sure at this point, Mr. VSM matches are all either complete Match of Doom style slogs are end within 5 seconds. Here - it is case 1, part 2. Imagine fighting something like this in a real game though.


Light
Winners:
Marianne von Edmund (FE3H) vs. Zhuzhen Liu (SH1) - Once again, I kneejerk Renewal + Nos is a bit too much. Zhuzhen would actually need to be able to blitz and I don't think he can.

Losers:
Annette Fantine Dominic (FE3H) vs. Hubert von Vestra (FE3H) - Pretty sure, unless I'm missing something?

I'm down for saying Shania doesn't have to totally offload her accessories.

Poison in ToCS2 hype, I see.
Stocke (RH) vs. Jessica de Alkirk (L:SSSC)
I'll buy the argument, Random.  Nobody was sure if they could recall whether Paralysis stopped Mana Bursts but I don't think it does, so no need for stat hits for blocking.

Godlike:

Terra Branford (FF6) vs. Melfice (G2): As long as she keeps Melfice below a 2HKO via her def I think she's fine? May need to give up speed to block silence (I forget how accurate his was) but that shouldn't get Melfice to tripleturn territory I don't think.
Velius (FFT) vs. Shania (SH:FtNW): Yeah FFT confuse is pretty bad in a duel. To the point where "let the boss confuse you" is in fact how several SSCCs get through fights, because a confused FFT PC will just keep attacking. The one risk is that Shania uses Cure Plus on Velius but the odds of that are pretty low compared to how many attacking moves she has, and Velius absolutely does not have the durability to live long enough for Shania to run out of SP.

Heavy:

Asellus (SaGa) vs. Hildegarde Valentine (SH:FtNW): "Don't try to kill Asellus with melee physicals" is a good rule of thumb. She takes a bit of a hit to block Death but I think she probably still manages.
Geno (SMRPG) vs. Clarissa Arwin (WA:XF): Second match in a row where Clarissa gets outsped. That said, because she's faster than Geno after turn 1, she might be still able to do something with Rob Turn? Geno does 51% to Clarissa with his physical. Clarissa uses Sacrifice, Rob Turn, (Geno turn stolen), then two more actions which can be either Sacrifice or Howling Shot (they're almost identical damage) and that's... like... 99.9% to Geno or so (I'm not convinced I didn't make a rounding error somewhere). But... WAIT. Clarissa has Throw Block, which despite its name, has a 40% chance to null projectiles. So physicals are out: the chance of the 60% hit landing AND Clarissa missing an early Rob Turn is too low. Geno could use Geno Flash instead, which only does 47% to Clarissa, and now Clarissa has enough damage left in the tank that she can win with just one Rob Turn.

Middle:

Stocke (RH) vs. Jessica de Alkirk (L:SSSC): Y'all have fun with this one, I'm out.

Light:

Milich Oppenheimer (Suikos) vs. Annette Fantine Dominic (FE3H): Repeat.
Ricardo Banderas (XG) vs. Hubert von Vestra (FE3H): Rico's reign of terror comes to an end. As mentioned, Banshee wrecks him even if he were to win the slugfest otherwise.

Godlike:

Velius (FFT) vs. Shania (SH:FtNW) - Shania drops the Flare Brooch so she can equip both a Zodiac Bracelet and Cosmic Bracelet.  It's been explained to me that FFT Confusion doesn't actually help with stopping Shania from killing Velius.

Heavy:

Asellus (SaGa) vs. Hildegarde Valentine (SH:FtNW) - Hilda really wishes she could access good magical damage, healing, and Energy Charge all at once.

Godlike:

Terra Branford (FF6) vs. Melfice (G2) - Melfice shouldn't really be bringing anything relevent to bear here, I'd think.
Velius (FFT) vs. Shania (SH:FtNW) - Well it's not like SH3 can block confusion anyways (unless you treat panic as similar) and giving up the Dream Porter in particular seems like it'd be really bad even if the cast could. e: while I'm not happy with the confusion argument (love it when people recommend letting idiots spend turns swinging at empty air) it's true that it's not a 100% win for Velius and that may be enough.

Heavy:

Asellus (SaGa) vs. Hildegarde Valentine (SH:FtNW) - Don't think so.
Geno (SMRPG) vs. Clarissa Arwin (WA:XF) - Yep.

Middle:

Machias Regnitz (ToCS2) vs. Tifa Lockhart (FF7) - Honestly poison probably decides it.  Good lord.
Stocke (RH) vs. Jessica de Alkirk (L:SSSC) - Repeat, nothing's really changed what I think about the match.  Like you people do realize that Dead Fencer OHKOs Jessica of the below average durablity and non-existant defense buffing no matter what, right?  And you do realize that half average damage physicals aren't exactly taxing Stocke of the 1.47 pdur and his 35 shots of *checks* 28.8% healing, right?  Like what are we even doing here, "user Snowfire?"

Light:

Milich Oppenheimer (Suikos) vs. Annette Fantine Dominic (FE3H) - Repeat, absolutely nothing's changed what I think about the match.
Ricardo Banderas (XG) vs. Hubert von Vestra (FE3H) - The world's slowest man should, by all rights, be eating it to Banshee even if by some miracle he isn't three-rounded by Miasma.
