At today's special event match, Mog and Kyogre have teamed up their Water Rondo and Rainy Day weather effects to flood the arena for the spectators' (dis)pleasure! For today, we see the BATTLE OF FISHMEN! Yes, those usually-useless aquatic units are finally getting their chance to beat the hell out of eachother for our amusement at their full power! For each match, assume a duelist's home-game rules for their own version of a Water Field Effect. Since a starting Water Field Effect isn't a common occurence, assume normal averages that you would use for each game.
Without further ado, here's our contestants!
Hailing from Breath of Fire, the original fish-guy himself: Gobi! He's been hoping for a flooded arena since time immemorial and now's his chance to really use his skillset! His opponent is the lovely sole mermaid of the Chrono Cross universe, Irenes, taking advantage of the boosts from a full Blue Field Effect right from the start of battle!
Our next match is a battle of two half-merpeople! Well, okay, Yumei's a half-mermaid and Kyril's a half-something, but his father's a fishman now, so it totally counts! Suikoden Tactics' Kyril probably doesn't appreciate the starting water panels, but at least Valkyrie Profile's Yumei doesn't have any particular bonuses from the flooding!
And then comes the match that nobody will vote on! Hailing from the nigh-unrankable (but I stat-topic'd it, so I'm using it dammit) Yggdra Union is the oddly-psychologically-named mermaid Nietzsche. She has low resources and stats, but gets an awesome 50% boost to damage while in water. Her opponent hails from the well-known Kingdom Hearts universe, the princess Ariel, with all the added manueverability that fighting in water might afford her?! Who will win? Who will even vote on this match?!
Our final grudgematch is against some more powerful mermaids: Soul Nomad's Juno and SaGa Frontier's Mesarthim. Mesarthim may have an awesome advantage against the other duelists here with her invulnerability to water, but Juno's more solid as a physical brawler, making the match a bit more even.
It's all for the prize of the hallowed spot of being the new owner of the Suiko4 Mermaids' Item Shop and all the proceeds that entails! ...Exciting!
Short form:
Gobi (BoF) vs. Irenes (CC)
Yumei (VP1) vs. Kyril (STactics)
Nietzsche (Yggdra Union) vs. Ariel (Kingdom Hearts)
Juno (SN) vs. Mesarthim (SaGaF)
