Team Tonfa vs. Jogurt, Ramus, Euram Barrows, Big Joe, Gobi, Kelvena
Team Tonfa vs. Luna, Ricardo, Lucia (SH2), Nara
Team Tonfa vs. Boss Lynx, PC Harle and Boss Gafgarion - Floor 1 vs. healers. Yup.

Team Captain K. | Kyogre, Gau, FF5 Redmage, Marcus, Mint
[Floor 1]
Team Captain K. vs. FF1 Garland and PC Bowser
Team Captain K. vs. Kwanda, Onix, Humphrey and Leo (S3)
Team Captain K. vs. Jogurt, Ramus, Euram Barrows, Big Joe, Gobi, Kelvena
Team Captain K. vs. Luna, Ricardo, Lucia (SH2), Nara
Team Captain K. vs. Boss Lynx, PC Harle and Boss Gafgarion - Same thing. Let's see if Cap'n's team makes it further this time.

Team Snowfire | Benjamin, Alex, Nash, Mia, Nall
[Floor 4a]
*For this floor, all damage and healing is reversed. All status healing spells inflict that status at 100% (Including Life -> ID), all status-inflicting spells remove that status (ID -> Life) and all Buffs or debuffs do the opposite (Saner would reduce speed and evasion) These spells can be targetted at enemies or allies.
*All resources used for Healing are infinite for both sides.

Team Snowfire vs. Fei and Bart - Hey look, Benjamin shines here. And eh, I think Alex gets BDV here.
Team Snowfire vs. Rosa and Cecil - Yeah. BDV+Benjamin's healing helps here.
Team Snowfire vs. Shion, Ziggy and KOS-MOS - I guess.
Team Snowfire vs. Robo and Frog - Benjamin kills Frog and Alex kills Robo. I think this works.
Team Snowfire vs. Rune and Chaz - Feels tentative. Just kneejerking on Snowfire's favor, the likes of Benjamin benefit very well from this kind of floor.

Captain K. and Tonfa make it. Snowfire does not. I see BDV as floor 5. Rune and Chaz take out Benjamin and the team has literally no damage left.

Don't know FFX-2 Songstress, so no vote on Tonfa.  Captain K. passes because Marcus tears fools up with his ridiculously high MOV and doubling everyone for huge damage along with being basically invincible. 

As for me...  Blue Dragon Heal is "nuke target team."  Benjamin also has Life, Heal, and Cure which should all work fine for taking people out.  Lastly, if there are horrendously unlucky initiative tiebreaks or something, Nall the random ID cannon can put Ruby to shame by killing people, though most of the fights will be too fast for that I think.  (Though it could be used for humiliation.  Just sit back and use physicals to keep up with Fei's Inner Healing and let Nall take 'em out.)  So yeah, I think I take it.

Tonfa and the Captain don't really need thinking on, methinks.  Dual pass.

Abstaining on Team Snowfire - I have little idea how Benjamin works.

What were the choices again?

As for the matches, Tonfa and that awesome dude Captain K. pass.  I'm going to have to go with fail on Snowfire.

Team Tonfa | Cloud, Chemist, Aika, FFX-2 Songstress
[Floor 1]
[Materia: Cover (Not mastered)]
Team Tonfa vs. FF1 Garland and PC Bowser
Team Tonfa vs. Kwanda, Onix, Humphrey and Leo (S3)
Team Tonfa vs. Jogurt, Ramus, Euram Barrows, Big Joe, Gobi, Kelvena
Team Tonfa vs. Luna, Ricardo, Lucia (SH2), Nara
Team Tonfa vs. Boss Lynx, PC Harle and Boss Gafgarion- Darkness dance shuts down Harle. Lynx can't really avoid a Cloud limit and Aika can heal/chip as need be.

Team Captain K. | Kyogre, Gau, FF5 Redmage, Marcus, Mint
[Floor 1]
Team Captain K. vs. FF1 Garland and PC Bowser
Team Captain K. vs. Kwanda, Onix, Humphrey and Leo (S3)
Team Captain K. vs. Jogurt, Ramus, Euram Barrows, Big Joe, Gobi, Kelvena
Team Captain K. vs. Luna, Ricardo, Lucia (SH2), Nara
Team Captain K. vs. Boss Lynx, PC Harle and Boss Gafgarion- Kyogre on floor 1. This wille nd well.

Team Snowfire | Benjamin, Alex, Nash, Mia, Nall
[Floor 4a]

*All resources used for Healing are infinite for both sides.

Team Snowfire vs. Fei and Bart- Fei's healing sucks. We move on.
Team Snowfire vs. Rosa and Cecil- Ben has full healing, right? Yeah. I'll bite.
Team Snowfire vs. Shion, Ziggy and KOS-MOS- Shion goes first and splatters Benjamin. I don't think Alex has Blue Dragon healing at this point so.. uh.. can anyone else on this team do *any* damage? At all?
Team Snowfire vs. Robo and Frog
Team Snowfire vs. Rune and Chaz

Re super's analysis: No doubt, if you don't give Alex Blue Dragon Heal, the team is in trouble...  though there is still White Dragon Protect, which I guess still works since it isn't exactly something reversible?  It certainly works so long as the speedy Ben keeps getting the initiative on people faster than Alex, letting Alex's BDH/WDP shut down slower characters.

However I will take issue with the "Shion going first" line.  XS1 Shion is baaaaaaarely above average speed (8 AGL vs. a 7.83 avg for 102% average speed).  That's about Alex speed if you ignore Luna & Ramus.  Benjamin...  at least with a sword equipped (which he obviously will in this fight) is faster than Phoebe, Rueben, and Kaeli, losing only to Tristram.  And Tristram is the character in your party for the least amount of time with his second joining lasting all of 10 seconds for whatever that's worth.  The issue is somewhat complicated due to the stat topic not having Tris's second form's stats, but Ben is 1.10 avg. speed with a nice interpretation, and at worst 1.05 avg. speed or so with a harsh interpretation.  Both of these are fast enough to frag Shion before she revives anyone.  (XS1 MOMO would be a different story.)

I'll go with a pass for the floor one wonders and a fail for Snowfire, I don't see the Blue Dragon coming into play yet and Ben will fall sometime.

All three pass.

Floor 1 doesn't present any major challenges even to these teams just starting up.

I see Alex as getting Blue Dragon by this point. Feels about midgame-ish to me.
