Sulphur (Phantom Brave)vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete)- Ghaleon doesn't get a turn.

Middle

Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword)- Ridley is slow, inaccurate, not not really all that damaging on TOP of being melee. This is a horrendous slaughter.

Godlike

Sulphur (Phantom Brave) vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete) - Damage and speed differences make up the durability difference I think?
Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) vs Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) - Goes first, OHKOs?
Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF) vs Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI) - Charlton in Godlike.  Alternatively, isn't OHKOd, OHKOs.
Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile) - Kneejerk.  Loooow VP boss HP respect.

Heavy

Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis) vs Ho-Oh (Pokémon) - Ho-Oh can't chip with things besides magic, so I think Pamela just does the parasitic healing thing a few times and then No Bullying!s his face off?  MDef reduces the healing, right.  Probably will have to number crunch this one, since Ho-Oh's MDef isn't quite halving damage, which may or may not be enough.
Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) vs Auron (Final Fantasy X) - Kneejerk.  Again, open to arguments.
Etoile Rosenqueen (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Zed (Wild ARMs) - ACF PC form?
Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones) - OGs1 form slaughters I think.  All other forms have arguments to win, I think, but less soundly.

Middle

Ken Amada (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) vs Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss) - ID eventually?  Maybe not even.  ID rate sucks, but so does Natalia's DL damage I thought?  Could change.
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger) - Avril in Middle.
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) - Axe to the face?

Light

Cornet Espoir (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Irvine Kinneas (Final Fanatasy VIII) - Waiting for Rhapsody DS to vote!  HAHAHA!
Russel Bergman (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Josephine (Suikoden V) - Kneejerk says Russel is not a Light.
Purugly (Pokémon) vs Chu-Chu (Xenogears) - I'm just going to wait until Meeple examines this or something.
Shiki Misaki (The World Ends With You) vs Edward Damcyan (Final Fantasy IV) - Kneejerk.  Not thinking about this one.  NOT THINKING OKAY

Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones) - The evade game kinda wrecks Ephy, near as I can tell.  Not sure if Ephy can even hit OG2 Lat post-Focus.

Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile) - I'm pretty sure he can come out with some kind of "pick my type" cheese to resist a large portion of what Gen can do. Also Arceus offense is stellar while Gen's HP is not.

Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis) vs Ho-Oh (Pokémon)
Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) vs Auron (Final Fantasy X) - Thinking that getting an init move off lets him carry this.
Etoile Rosenqueen (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Zed (Wild ARMs)

Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword) - Counters. Ridley does not like them.
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger)
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) - Axe to the face works. Kind of a kneejerk here.

Cornet Espoir (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Irvine Kinneas (Final Fanatasy VIII)
Russel Bergman (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Josephine (Suikoden V) - Mage with no magic rune isn't taking down Russel.
Purugly (Pokémon) vs Chu-Chu (Xenogears) - Kneejerk for Not Chu-Chu.

Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) vs Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) - Sora doesn't OHKO, Kefka effectively 2HKOs forever (due to OHKOing before Second Chance), doubles in no time and goes first. So.

Heavy

Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis) vs Ho-Oh (Pokémon) - This is a slaughter. Ho-oh has massive MDef to nerf Pamela's MDef-hitting status, shaves off like 90% of Pamela's HP off the bat and his MDef reduces Pamela's parasitic healing effectiveness in half - i.e. he 2HKOs through Kiss 3 Bear. Pamela doesn't even 2HKO with a 1 HP No Bullying (Ho-oh has over 2x PC HP for effective magical durability, and No Bullying is certainly not ITD. She barely misses that 2HKO, though) and Ho-oh has both Safeguard and Recover to win a stalling match and ward off status in a definitive manner, so she's entirely out of luck here.
Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones) - I go by OG2 Latooni, who entirely mocks Eph with Focus spam. OG1 Latooni should yield similar results, only she actually eats one hit from Eph before doing so (assuming Eph wins initiative here. But OG1 Latooni is a fair deal less frail than OG2 Latooni, soo... granted, Reginlef -could- OHKO... which would change things pretty decisively for OG1 Lat. >_> OG2 Lat just doesn't get hit. (Also, if you go by OGs1 Lat, she shouldn't even be in Heavy. >_>)

Sulphur (Phantom Brave) vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete) - Ahahahahahaha.
Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile) - Open to arguments.

Heavy

Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment)
vs Auron (Final Fantasy X) - Auron can't block Freeze or any status related to it. Baofu status-locks with physicals, finishes with a magic smack fueled by Makakaja. If you don't allow Baofu's ultimate (This is definitely a place of debate, but it's not aftergame, just decently obscura), it's a closer match, but Auron arguably has problems hitting through Resist: Physical? I dunno, the Pierce ability could do it but he'd need to drop his ultimate, not sure how much that hurts. Cute match.
Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones) - Eph stands a chance against most other SRW people. He can't bust Latooni base evade well enough, tho.

Middle

Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) - Status'd? If she can't this is a slaughter the other way.

Light

Shiki Misaki (The World Ends With You)
vs Edward Damcyan (Final Fantasy IV) - Not Edward.

Godlike

Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF) vs Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI): Dunno. Terra blocks silence, so Charlton inflicts Disease instead, and does some damage. Terra now gets to 2HKO him. She can... morph, wait for him to take another turn, easily survive whatever he does (physical attack? Halved Black Corrosion? Dunno), hit him once, get Energy Drained, hit him again. She pretty much needs to 2HKO, though, otherwise Charlton is hitting her five times and even with four of those halved by Morph I that's too much (since Energy Drain gets pretty mean). So does she 2HKO through Energy Drain? Not sure, need to figure out exactly what average damage is to me against him. (Also, scaling SRPG bosses by the number of PCs they fight and then not giving support credit is silly-faced.)
Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile): Steel is weak to fire, but nulls poison and halves ice/dark = about 20% less from Indisc than normal. Open with Cosmic Power, Indisc is now low 2HKO. And he 4-3's, so he should be able to sneak in enough Cosmic Power/healing to win. Not a bad fight though.

Heavy

Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones): I guess. She might run out of offence though?

Middle

Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger): I assume since IQA has been used in Futurama before that this is PC, in which case...

Light

Russel Bergman (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Josephine (Suikoden V): RUSSEL. Anyway, kneejerk here as much as anything, the actual match gives me a headache. Josephine is pretty terrible and Russel should have enough skills to get him through this. Plus MESSER evade.
Purugly (Pokémon) vs Chu-Chu (Xenogears): Fake Out, then 2HKO from there with Body Slam works pretty well at worst. Also is nearly twice as fast. Purguly's pretty good if you can't exploit its bad durability.

Erwin Schrödinger will kill you like a cat in a box.
Maybe.

Sulphur (Phantom Brave) vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete): Smash.

Godlike

Sulphur (Phantom Brave) vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete) - Wow, Ghaleon-slayer.
Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) vs Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) - I have oddly high Kefka respect.
Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF) vs Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI) - No XF for me.
Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile) - No so high Genevieve respect.

Heavy

Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis) vs Ho-Oh (Pokémon) - Crappy matchup for Pamela. Could always hype all Pokemon attacks as physical since they hit Def of some sort.
Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) vs Auron (Final Fantasy X)
Etoile Rosenqueen (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Zed (Wild ARMs)
Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones) - No SRWs for me.

Middle

Ken Amada (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) vs Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss) - Allowing universal status blockers to work on statuses not in their home game.
Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword) - Never really used Dart, don't feel right voting here.
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger) - After much debate, I'm allowing Avril the Sky medium due to IQA having Hi-Blast, a Sky Medium-only skill.
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) - no FFMQ

Light

Cornet Espoir (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Irvine Kinneas (Final Fanatasy VIII) - RhapsodyPSX had Cornet doing ridiculous amounts of damage at endgame? I think she OHKOs Irvine.
Russel Bergman (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Josephine (Suikoden V) - No SRW
Purugly (Pokémon) vs Chu-Chu (Xenogears) - Ugh...
Shiki Misaki (The World Ends With You) vs Edward Damcyan (Final Fantasy IV) - Allowing TWEWY partners to use Fusion if they can build up the points. Shiki has enough equip options that she can use her Lvl 1 Fusion at the end of her first turn. By the second turn, definitely. This should be more than enough for Edward's crappy durability. Arguably goes through 'Hide', too.

So Pamela only loses to ITD, I see.

...what?

Cornet Espoir (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Irvine Kinneas (Final Fanatasy VIII) - RhapsodyPSX had Cornet doing ridiculous amounts of damage at endgame? I think she OHKOs Irvine.

Cornet's DL-legal at endgame is saaaaaaaaaad.  Her physical is a 5HKO.  If you give her a FULL rewards meter (which I disagree with, I give her half), she has a low 2HKO to average (0.6 PCHP) that she can only use once, has enough left to do a 0.31 PCHP attack and then she's left with a physical.  Basically, she 3HKOs average even under the most generous interpretation.

Alternatively, if Irvine is below 0.98x average magical durability, she 2HKOs with Cake under the most generous interpretation (full meter).

So yeah, she's nowhere near an OHKO, and can't even 2HKO unless Irvine is below (admittedly doesn't need to be much below) average AND you have to be extremely generous to her.

...what?

Not to mention this is -wrong-. There are two defense stats in Pokémon, Defense and Special Defense. Special Defense hits the attacks that are special-typed, which are generally of a magically inclined nature. This is just bizarre, since it's not even attack types hitting a universal defense stat. I have no idea what kind of logic is that, honestly.

EDIT: More accurately, that's essentially ignoring the defensive stat splits and making all attacks of the type that hurts them the most just because you feel like it. Magic attacks in other games also hit a sort of defense, are you going to hype them all as physical on those games as well?

Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) vs Auron (Final Fantasy X)- Baofu. Unless Celestials also bypass non-defense physical resistance? If not, Auron is having trouble scratching Baofu, and Magic Break and Maka Kaja cancel out.

Middle
Ken Amada (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) vs Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss)- Ken
Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword)- Dart
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger)- Frog. Assuming PC here, for all that I'd vote on IQA in the DL.
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant)- Ana. I think.

Whoa. Hold on, I wasn't being serious about that. You'll notice I didn't vote for that match and that I stated Pamela was at a disadvantage... I'm not an expert on Pokemon stats, but I had a pretty good idea of what 'Special Defense' was. Granted, I don't know exactly how the game uses it, so perhaps I hit upon a sore spot? Sorry if that's the case.


As for Rhapsody... What's is considered DL-legal for her? I'm not sure how anyone in Rhapsody could be weak...

Sulphur (Phantom Brave) vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete)
Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) vs Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) - Cute.
Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF) vs Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI) - I lack XF ;_____;
Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile)

Heavy

Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis) vs Ho-Oh (Pokémon) - Snow pretty much hit the nail here. Houou does indeed have somewhat of an insane MDef. Now, while Houou might have better physicals, it still has pretty decent magic smiting. So... uh, Houou takes Pamela's stuff like a man and if I recall correctly I think Houou has Safeguard /anyway,/ so... Yeah. Houou just totally kills Pamela D:
Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) vs Auron (Final Fantasy X) - Headache inducing.
Etoile Rosenqueen (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Zed (Wild ARMs)
Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones)

Ken Amada (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) vs Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss)
Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword)
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger)
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) - Axe of Smiting +5

Light

Cornet Espoir (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Irvine Kinneas (Final Fanatasy VIII) - :|
Russel Bergman (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Josephine (Suikoden V)
Purugly (Pokémon) vs Chu-Chu (Xenogears) - I have nightmares of HYPNOSIS PURUGLY, too bad it wouldn't be allowed since Hypnosis is an egg move. Otherwise it's a definite giveaway. Besides, Purugly's... actually quite fast (DESPITE LOOKS UGH) and has numerous tricks up her sleeve anyways.
Shiki Misaki (The World Ends With You) vs Edward Damcyan (Final Fantasy IV) - Oh, come on, Shiki's like the ONE character I like from TWEWY.
19:35:58 (trancehime) there's a specific spot in the game that's for item duping

As for Rhapsody... What's is considered DL-legal for her? I'm not sure how anyone in Rhapsody could be weak...

http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=1631.0

Stat topics are good!

Anyways, basically, no equipment, and rewards meter is limited at best.  It's more akin to a FF7 limit bar... that she can't actually build up in battle.  I allow people with carry over meters such as these to come in with half full, which means 3 bars, meaning she has 3 SugarCandies, 2 Flans, or 1 Cake (1 Flan and 1 Cake would work as well).  I think by the most common view (where carry over meters start at 0) she's stuck with her physical, which is a 5HKO.  About the only thing Cornet has other than that is above average durability due to good defense.

And due to averages, you're just about always bound to have someone who is weak.  Especially one with a large cast like Rhapsody.

(PS Get RhapsodyDS, vote on DS Cornet form.  She's better.)

Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series)
vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones): Eph takes too long to ever land a hit.

Middle

Ken Amada (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) vs Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss): Healer vs. ID.
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger): Mountain Medium doesn't add damage, so Frog Squash might come into play?

Sulphur (Phantom Brave) vs Ghaleon (Lunar Silver Star Story Complete): Is this supposed to be a joke? Anyways. Sulphur doesn't lose barring some serious hax.
Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) vs Kefka (Final Fantasy VI): Eh. Whatever. Sora might OHKO though. Not sure how good his damage was offhand.
Charlton Blunt (Wild ARMs XF) vs Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI): Morph, Drain, Finish. Throw in a drain if its really needed.

Heavy

Pamela Ibis (Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis) vs Ho-Oh (Pokémon): Uh, Sunny Day -> OHKO? Whatever. Pamela'd probably win otherwise. Apparently Kiss 3 Bear is immensely badass with The Grudge.
Latooni Subota (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Ephraim (Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones): Hmm. Yeah, works.

Middle

Ken Amada (Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3) vs Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss): ID gets her first. Hey, if she was ToV she could ID first!
Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword): Unless Ridley had some kind of super-awesome defense or something.
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger): Not even gamebest damage can save her!
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant): Glitchy.

Light

Russel Bergman (Super Robot Taisen Series) vs Josephine (Suikoden V): No thinking.

I don't see what's so confusing about the Partner PCs in TWEWY? They aren't much different from standard ARPG fare. They may actually be easier to interpret in a turn-based setting?

Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) vs Kefka (Final Fantasy VI): Sora gets stuck in a heal lock; don't think his damage was quite good enough here.  Alternatively, Kefka opens with Train which totally ****s with Sora's tanking game.
Arceus (Pokémon) vs Genevieve (Valkyrie Profile):  Steel Form resists 1/3rd of Indiscriminate, IMMUNES another part of it, and is weak to the weakest part, meaning Fire Storm becomes Shadow Servant and Fire Lance becomes Poison Blow, yay!  Debatable resistance to Holy given the nature of Steel, but don't think it matters.  With his speed, tanking, and damage combo, he should be able to take it.

...and that's not factoring in opening Cosmic Power to make him even harder to kill

Heavy

Baofu (Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) vs Auron (Final Fantasy X): Kneejerk.
Etoile Rosenqueen (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Zed (Wild ARMs): This fight reminds me, I need to actually play Rhapsody!

Middle

Ridley (Radiata Stories) vs Dart (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword): One has counters, the other does not.
Avril Vent Fleur (Wild ARMs 5) vs Frog (Chrono Trigger): One has healing, the other is a Mediumless WA5 PC.
Kaeli (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) vs Anastasia Romanov (Shadow Hearts: Covenant): I think she wins this through playing defensively with Cure and all that.

Light

Cornet Espoir (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure) vs Irvine Kinneas (Final Fanatasy VIII): More proof I need to get to playing Rhapsody!
Purugly (Pokémon) vs Chu-Chu (Xenogears): Not Chuchu.
