FIT Season 52, Middle Pool 1

[Sir Donald 3.2]

Back in FIT 51 Heavy, we had Carlie... who didn't do so well.  Let's see what happens when we put Lise from SD3... against Anna from the recently inducted Mana Khemia...

Also, let's see if a change in opponents can push Joachim over the line.  Or if a couple of added Playoff spots would do that...




FIT 51 Appearances:
Anna Lemouri: 2-2 in Pool 1
Joachim Valenitne:  3-2 in Pool 2 (Lost to both Kraken and Roxis and so was unable to advance)
Junpei Iori: 1-3 in Pool 3

Matches:
Anna(MK) vs Lise(SD3)

Anna vs Joachim(SH2)
Anna vs Junpei(Pers3)
Anna vs Setzer(FF6)

Voting ends on Sunday Night

[Dark Holy Elf]

Anna(MK) vs Lise(SD3): Blocks Silence and IDs. Defence Up may be able to slow it to turn 3, but Lise is only buying time.

Anna vs Joachim(SH2): Blocks ID and IDs first!
Anna vs Setzer(FF6): Too much ID in this pool.

Lise vs Joachim: Blocks silence and IDs! This pool is like, a chain of who has the best statusblockers.
Lise vs Setzer: Spoils, as none of Lise's tricks work here, except Power Up.

Joachim vs Setzer: Don't think Setzer pushes the ID to turn 2.

Joachim 3-0
Anna 2-1
Setzer 1-3
Lise 0-4

[Ultradude]

Joachim vs Junpei: High Counter isn't quite good enough.
Joachim vs Setzer: Setzer is faster, but can't 2HKO at all.

Junpei vs Setzer: Kills before Doom Darts or high-end Fixed Dice becomes a problem.

[OblivionKnight]

Matches:
Anna(MK) vs Lise(SD3) - Did Mini disable spells?  Lise has a chance if that's the case.  If not, Anna wins.

Anna vs Joachim(SH2) - Joachim.  GREAT QUESTION!!!
Anna vs Junpei(Pers3) - Anna.  Bah.  High Counter...at 30%, is...mmm...really close.  
Anna vs Setzer(FF6) - Setzer.  Likes how Easy Type provides ID defense, and how his weapons/armour were boosted.  Think it's just enough.

Lise vs Joachim - ...again, did Mini disable spells?  See Anna otherwise.
Lise vs Junpei - ...don't think it matters here.  Lise.
Lise vs Setzer - Lise.  Doesn't matter here.

Joachim vs Junpei - Joachim...wow, close.
Joachim vs Setzer - Joachim.

Junpei vs Setzer - Junpei.  

[Talaysen]

Matches:
Anna vs Joachim(SH2) - Barely misses the 2HKO.  Has a good chance of 3-2ing with Quick/Quick Dash but odds of ID kicking in turn 1 counteract that.
Anna vs Junpei(Pers3)
Anna vs Setzer(FF6)

Joachim vs Junpei
Joachim vs Setzer
Junpei vs Setzer

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Anna(MK) vs Lise(SD3) - Fairly typical Anna win.
Anna vs Junpei(Pers3) - High Counter hype might be more relevant to me if it wasn't mostly just helping Anna push into Last Stand range faster. Not that Junpei can avoid it anyway.
Anna vs Setzer(FF6) - ID.

Lise vs Junpei - Silence = Junpei is riding on BASIC PHYSICAL HYPE. Considering SD3 Silence shuts off both physical and magical techs and the same is true of P3 Silence...
Lise vs Setzer - ITD.

Junpei vs Setzer - Averages more damage. Junpei isn't an impressive slugger by Middle standards.
