Futurama 2015 Mk.1 Noms

[Cmdr_King]

Basic Rules:

1. Please Nom up to 4 characters from games not on the Ranked List per division.  It doesn't necessarily have to be a game with data, and as always CK brand tournaments include anything from a ranked game as ranked.
2. Additionally, suggest up to 3 characters from ranked games per division.  This tourney will likely be constructed, but I'll try to use nommed DL-side characters where I can wrangle it.

Will launch in about a week.

[SnowFire]

EDIT: 4 per division, not 4 overall?  Tricky.  Uh, let's settle at 3 per division for now...  I'll add another later, perhaps.

Unranked:
Vayne (Final Fantasy 12) [Godlike]
Benjamin (FF Mystic Quest) [Godlike]
Reverie (Trails in the Sky) [Godlike]
Estelle (Trails in the Sky) [Heavy]
Marth (Fire Emblem *12*) [Heavy]
Arycelle (Tactics Ogre) [Heavy]
Finn (Child of Light) [Middle]
Umbra (Child of Light) [Middle]
Oengus (Child of Light) [Middle]
Jeanne (Jeanne d'Arc) [Light]
Robert (Child of Light) [Light]
Aurora (Child of Light) [Light]

CoL is really the big "recent DL game that actually has players around here but isn't ranked" it seems.  Shame the pickings are kinda slim.  JDA isn't remotely recent but I just finished it so too bad.  Trails, eh, I like the cast and the interp split ends up surprisingly not too bad.  Feel free to ignore my Godlike noms, I got nothin'.

Ranked:
Edea (Bravely Default) [Godlike]  (Totally up to CK ofc, just figure these folks are safer in Futurama than the regular CKDL.  I picked a Low Godlike to make it less likely she overstays her welcome.)
Black Fiend (Lunar 2) [Godlike] (Reward Elf's stat topic work...  watch out, mages.)
Sumia (Fire Emblem Awakening) [Heavy] (oops, I tripped and Brave Lanced you 4 times, have some pie)
Knight (Final Fantasy 1) [Heavy] (Nice & boring.)
Leo (Lunar 2) [Middle] (Ranked in Heavy before, but I think he's pretty safe for Middle.)
Oscar (Fire Emblems) [Middle] (Another safely boring option.)
Summoner (Bravely Default) [Light] (Yup, nice & simple.)
Dahna (Grandia 3) [Light] (Hates DL interps deeply.)

Nitpicking time!  Djinn: Bowser was a DL Middle, GS Isaac was a DL Heavy (with a 3-3 record in Heavy).  Dunno SMRPG / GS well though so maybe those are legit?  Will let others chime in if they want.  (I *do* remember surprise Golden Sun killing sprees in Nyarlie's Dungeon at least.)

Skies of Arcadia (and thus Fina) is CKDL ranked.  [Also Fina was a DL Middle, but a really crappy Middle, so Light is fine by me; I don't think I allow her the final dungeon equip she wants to make herself Middle.]

Trails Estelle is awesome, as I nom'd her as well, but she should make Heavy under any interp.  100 CP gives her a rough OHKO with a backup stalling game; 50 CP gives her lots of pressure backed by full-healing and a limit which is now murderous overkill rather than "just" a OHKO, so she blitzes worse but deals with boss tanks better.  She has good status-blocking options either way.  That's a bit much for Middle.

[Cmdr_King]

Fina as anything but Light always involved either a) delusional SoA base physical hype (no a 500 power weapon does not let Fina do above average damage, let alone the 300 power one most of the DL voted on) or b) enough starting Sp for a turn 1 Eternum.  Which you may well not be able to pull off in-game for context.

[Dhyerwolf]

Uh, Fina definitely does not need either of those to be Light. Allowing her unique accessory is enough (as an aside, even if you don't particularly like the accessory due the work needed, it balances well because while the Focus Robe is not quite legal, it's...has a pretty clear reason to be hers (Taken off the corpse of her pretender. Vyse gets his great accessory off his, Aika jumps a division on her corpse robbery).

Agree with no Bowser in Light . Isaac feels Middle (elementally reliant, status bait, only trick is Paralysis, which doesn't seem like that great of a status. Decent but not outstanding on stats. Unleashes...may tip in him if they are not factored into the damage average. Figuring out the exact effect could make all the difference. After writing that, I lean towards Heavy, but it's pretty borderlinish). Also, yes, Estelle in Middle would not be right.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Also, Pyro: Dorothy's in Not Ranked. <_<

[SnowFire]

Fina as anything but Light always involved either a) delusional SoA base physical hype (no a 500 power weapon does not let Fina do above average damage, let alone the 300 power one most of the DL voted on) or b) enough starting Sp for a turn 1 Eternum.  Which you may well not be able to pull off in-game for context.

From the stat topic:

Lunar Glyph: 440 Magic Damage+85% Stone. Stone lasts for 3 turns, including the turn it hit on and it can be reapplied on that third turn (but not before), 3 SP
    -(Approximately 284 Magic Damage+50% Stone if you don’t allow the Cupil Ring)

Fina w/ Cupil Ring turn 1 stones everyone not immune off slightly above average speed then wins.  That should be a Middle.  (That said, per above, I'm happy with not allowing Cupil Ring despite Dhyer's reasonable Focus Robe argument, so Light is still fine by me!)

[DjinnAndTonic]

Edited based on suggestions. Sorry for the grossly out-of-place rankings.

[Magic Fanatic]

If you're taking suggestions from other people, then you may want to consider this:

Jeff has only slightly better durability than Paula, but struggles in a footrace with Dekar for only a ITD evadable 2HKO as his only trick.  He's liable to get wasted before he gets a second turn if you don't allow EB characters a "last shot" grace to account for rolling HP.  He's light by most people's standards.

And Lucas...  Egh.  Part of me wants to say he can play in Heavy, but the speed combined with the general lack of status resistance make me wary of him being anything other than a free win.  Granted, my experience with that was an RPGmon where Noa, Peppita, and a FFX-2 Berserker all ganged up on him.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Also, Suikoden Tierkreis is now ranked. Totally forgot that happened. <.<
