Proving Grounds: Godlike Prelims 1
« on: June 27, 2008, 09:55:55 PM »
And it's back! Proving Grounds tests currently ranked and potential future ranks that might be considered borderline against people in both divisions that they may straddle in order to figure out which divisions might be more appropriate. This version includes some not ranked bait that is very far from being ranked, assuming they ever would be.

Our First Contestants
Lady Harken- Her WA:ACF gives her an anti-physical game, and a killer limit with solid HP. However, the deadweight other form and an Ice weakness could be prove her downfall.
Deamoned- Godlike downgrader, his  slow speed is hopefully balanced out by his solid damage, HP to 1, and Absolute defense.
Levin- A new face in the arena, Levin's 150% speed, above average accuracy and ability to cancel even bosses turns makes him a  force to be  reckoned with...as long as his MP holds out.
Lloyd- Another Godlike downgrader, Lloyd's damage may be lacking, but he hopes that speed and the ability to hit both defenses make up for that.
Hugo- Versatility! For a Suikoden character anyways. Healing, Evasion, Physical and Magical Damage and some damage hopefully give Hugo the tools he needs to compete.
Solofia- And yet another downgrader! In fact, this one downgraded twice. Defensively and offensively Solofia has many tools with Fendspell, good defense, status blocking, and healing...if only he/she can get a turn.
Billy- A downgrade heavy pool! Billy may be a tad frail, but with lots of MP, cheap healing, and haste, he can deal with the best Heavies. But will it be enough?

Harken   vs   Jenna: Bhairava.
Harken   vs   Xorn: Straightforward.
Harken   vs   Luca: Spoilage. Parry/counters every Triple Slash, and Maximum Risk is ITD.
Harken   vs   OddEye: I... think he can mange by chipping a little until a physical kills with Odd Eye Beam. Good fight.
Harken   vs   KOS-MOS: Seems familiar? Busts past limits though.
Harken   vs   Johnny (SH 3): OHKO.
Harken   vs   Eirika: Um... hmm. Both block about half of each other's attacks. Feels like Harken will get a bunch more of them. Although Sieglinde vs. demon arguments... hmm. Will think on this.
Harken   vs   Gau: Charm + strong against physicals.
Harken   vs   Groudon: Bulk Up, smash with Earthquake.
Harken   vs   Culgan (S2): Yep.
Harken   vs   Arngrim: Parrying messes up Arngrim's day.

Deamoned   vs   Jenna: Bhairava and lacking speed!
Deamoned   vs   Xorn: Has some trouble with Absolute Defence at full HP... but not after. And the speed difference. Ew.
Deamoned   vs   Luca: Absolute Defence vs. S2 boss.
Deamoned   vs   OddEye: Just manages, I think. Kills in... five hits after AD factored in, should get #5 before Deamoned gets his second turn.
Deamoned   vs   KOS-MOS: Gut says S-Chain -> Ether Limit -> F-Scythe nets her the win. Slowed, blinded Ned just has sooo many issues.
Deamoned   vs   Johnny (SH 3): Seeding Ned as barely surviving an Ether Purge today. Not seeing Johnny survive a Deamoned turn.
Deamoned   vs   Eirika: He has too much trouble hitting, and triggers counters IIRC? Might have had some ranged trick... but the only one I recall is Bind, IIRC he was pure melee otherwise.
Deamoned   vs   Gau: Generally see Charm as turn 3. Not good enough when there's a 2HKO happening here.
Deamoned   vs   Groudon: Don't think he 2HKOs, and HP-1 gets through his defences even if he goes for Bulk Up.
Deamoned  vs   Culgan (S2): Haha.
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim: ... y'know, Arngrim's pretty close to winning those. Tough enough to not be OHKOed, Final Blast is awesome and punches through AD... but I don't think he ultimately does quite enough damage.

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

The Matches
Harken   vs   Jenna
Harken   vs   Xorn
Harken   vs   Luca
Harken   vs   OddEye
Harken   vs   KOS-MOS
Harken   vs   Johnny (SH 3)
Harken   vs   Eirika
Harken   vs   Gau
Harken   vs   Culgan (S2)
Harken   vs   Shizel
Harken   vs   Arngrim

Harken is swept for very obvious (WA1o) reasons.     

Deamoned   vs   Jenna- No clue.
Deamoned   vs   Xorn
Deamoned   vs   Luca
Deamoned   vs   OddEye
Deamoned   vs   KOS-MOS
Deamoned   vs   Johnny (SH 3)
Deamoned   vs   Eirika- Bind. Seriously.
Deamoned   vs   Gau
Deamoned   vs   Culgan (S2)
Deamoned   vs   Shizel
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim

Hugo   vs   Jenna
Hugo   vs   Xorn
Hugo   vs   Luca
Hugo   vs   OddEye- Don't think Hugo can blitz in time.
Hugo   vs   KOS-MOS- S-Chain, evade handles WoS.
Hugo   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- I don't think he can keep him from getting a turn perfectly offhand.
Hugo   vs   Eirika- Hugo can't go melee here, and he only has one shot of really nasty magic damage.
Hugo   vs   Gau
Hugo   vs   Culgan (S2)
Hugo   vs   Shizel- Alter between healing and damage. I think it's enough.
Hugo   vs   Arngrim- Evade.


Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Jenna- Familiar.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Xorn- Oh jesus christ.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Luca- Physicals.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   OddEye- Physicals.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs  KOS-MOS
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Brutal. Don't think he survives two Johnny turns.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Eirika- Think avoiding a double and counters is enough.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Gau- NE magic.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Culgan (S2)
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Shizel
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Arngrim- Between the odds of evasion and tanking FB.. eh. Yeah.

Solofia   vs   Jenna
Solofia   vs   Xorn
Solofia   vs   Luca- Halves fire and has good defense. Takes forever though, could flip.
Solofia   vs   OddEye- Sleep threat locks her down.
Solofia   vs   KOS-MOS- S-chain.
Solofia   vs   Johnny (SH 3)
Solofia   vs   Eirika- Erikia against someone slow.
Solofia   vs   Gau- I.. think? He can't tank through with Magic Urn and Fendspell handles a lot of what Gau can do.
Solofia   vs   Culgan (S2)- I.. probably a OHKO. Think I see Thunder as NE, could be argued.
Solofia   vs   Shizel- Eternal Finality.
Solofia   vs   Arngrim- Sleepmore.

Billy (XG)   vs   Jenna
Billy (XG)   vs   Xorn
Billy (XG)   vs   Luca- Think Goddess Eyes being glitched does him in.
Billy (XG)   vs   OddEye- See Luca.
Billy (XG)   vs   KOS-MOS- S-Chain.
Billy (XG)   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- OHKO.
Billy (XG)   vs   Eirika- Go first, one rounds.
Billy (XG)   vs   Gau- Magic urn.
Billy (XG)   vs   Culgan (S2)
Billy (XG)   vs   Shizel- Haste/heals past shitty magic reliant boss.
Billy (XG)   vs   Arngrim- Final Blast.

Ned: 8-3
Lloyd: 5-6
Solofia: 4-7
Hugo: 3-8
Billy: 2-9
Harken: 0-11

Harken   vs   KOS-MOS
Harken   vs   Eirika
Harken   vs   Gau
Harken   vs   Groudon

WAo Harken. Don't feel bad voting on her in a Proving Grounds pool.

Hugo   vs   KOS-MOS: S-Chain works.
Hugo   vs   Eirika: More evasive and accurate, counters make up for the magic damage.
Hugo   vs   Gau
Hugo   vs   Groudon: Drought makes that fire magic hurt like hell.

Harken   vs   Jenna- Jenna
Harken   vs   Xorn- Xorn
Harken   vs   Luca- Harken. Matches up perfectly
Harken   vs   OddEye- Odd Eye. Don’t think Harken has the durability here, and Odd Eye might.
Harken   vs   KOS-MOS- KOS-MOS. Att Down+Speed Down+Good at getting past limits works.
Harken   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Johnny. OHKO
Harken   vs   Eirika- Harken
Harken   vs   Gau- Gau. Yep, Charm.
Harken   vs   Groudon- Harken. Groudon is mostly Fire magic and Ground physicals.
Harken   vs   Culgan (S2)- Harken. Just better
Harken   vs   Shizel- Shizel. Is a good Godlike to me.
Harken   vs   Arngrim- Harken
     
Deamoned   vs   Jenna- Jenna
Deamoned   vs   Xorn- Xorn, but it’s actually not a bad match since Xorn can’t really damage Deamoned until Dimension Gate comes up. Psycho speed should show him through that.
Deamoned   vs   Luca- Deamoned. Luca vs AD.
Deamoned   vs   OddEye- Deamoned. OddEye is also more about his turns then his damage.
Deamoned   vs   KOS-MOS- KOS-MOS. Yeah, I guess the stat bust strat does work, unless Deamoned immunes stat downs.
Deamoned   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Johnny. I’d imagine.
Deamoned   vs   Eirika- Deamoned. Eirika needs 3 rounds to kill to me, which I don’t think she gets.
Deamoned   vs   Gau- Deamoned. Gau is not good at damage and such.
Deamoned   vs   Groudon- Deamoned
Deamoned   vs   Culgan (S2)- Deamoned
Deamoned   vs   Shizel- Shizel
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim- Arngrim. Very good at getting through AD. If I let Deamoned chain something after the HP to 1 other than another chance to HP to 1, Deamoned would take it!
           
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Jenna- Jenna
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Xorn- Xorn
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Luca- Lloyd, I think.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   OddEye- Odd Eye
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   KOS-MOS- Lloyd. Gut says speed+getting in the first hit+unsure if I’d even see S-Chain hit him give him this.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Lloyd
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Eirika- Eirika
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Gau- Lloyd. Fast, kills with magic well enough, I think.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Groudon- Lloyd. Faster, magic. Gut.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Culgan (S2)- Lloyd
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Shizel- Shizel
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Arngrim- Lloyd. Faster, 2HKOs.
     
Hugo   vs   Jenna- Jenna
Hugo   vs   Xorn- Xorn
Hugo   vs   Luca- Luca, but barely (And I’m not sure on this)
Hugo   vs   OddEye- Tentative OddEye vote. Can he run out of MP?
Hugo   vs   KOS-MOS- Hugo. KOS-MOS just generally hits evasion.
Hugo   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Hugo. Faster with WoS, 25% Boosted Wizard’s Hat L4 is like 99% PC HP damage, and Johnny has below average HP. OHKO.
Hugo   vs   Eirika- Eirika. I think.
Hugo   vs   Gau- Hugo. Gau doesn’t have quite enough MBlock to stop Hugo’s ID on turn 1.
Hugo   vs   Groudon- Hugo
Hugo   vs   Culgan (S2)- Hugo. Culgan…is not good and such.
Hugo   vs   Shizel- Shizel
Hugo   vs   Arngrim- Hugo. VP 1 Arngrim has no ID immunity.
     
Solofia   vs   Jenna- Jenna
Solofia   vs   Xorn- Xorn
Solofia   vs   Luca- Luca. Assuming DQ 4 defense isn’t good enough for this.
Solofia   vs   OddEye- OddEye
Solofia   vs   KOS-MOS- KOS-MOS. Evil stat killing.
Solofia   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Johnny.
Solofia   vs   Eirika- Eirika. Heal locked.
Solofia   vs   Gau- Solofia. 2HKOs with magic, I think.
Solofia   vs   Groudon- Groudon. EQ works well enough
Solofia   vs   Culgan (S2)- Solofia. At least Culgan exists for the gimme match.
Solofia   vs   Shizel- Shizel. Heal locked.
Solofia   vs   Arngrim- Arngrim. Turn 2 overkill and faster
     
Billy (XG)   vs   Jenna- Jenna
Billy (XG)   vs   Xorn- Xorn
Billy (XG)   vs   Luca- Luca. Billy needed his defense buff to work to have a shot here.
Billy (XG)   vs   OddEye- OddEye
Billy (XG)   vs   KOS-MOS- KOS-MOS hitting his accuracy and speed at once isn’t fun for him.
Billy (XG)   vs   Johnny (SH 3)- Johnny
Billy (XG)   vs   Eirika- Billy. Eirika hits, doesn’t kill. Billy Hastes, then heals, and Eirika no longer doubles. Think he can overcome the evasion then.
Billy (XG)   vs   Gau- Gau
Billy (XG)   vs   Groudon- Groudon. Bulk Up->Earthquake should OHKO Billy.
Billy (XG)   vs   Culgan (S2)- Billy. Culgan.
Billy (XG)   vs   Shizel- Billy. Think the Haste-Healing gives him enough turns.
Billy (XG)   vs   Arngrim- Arngrim. Overkill turn 2, Billy needs 3 attacks to kill, and can only get 2 with Haste.

Lloyd 7-5 (3-3; 4-2)
Deamoned 6-6 (2-4; 4-2)
Hugo 6-6 (2-4; 4-2)
Harken 5-7 (1-5; 4-2)
Billy 3-9 (0-6; 3-3)
Solofia 2-10 (0-6; 2-4)
...into the nightfall.

Harken vs. Luca - Spoils, yeah.
Harken vs. Odd Eye - Hmmmm. Sure, I guess.
Harken vs. Johnny (SH3) - Ether Purge isn't pretty.
Harken vs. Eirika - Uhhhhhh. So weird.
Harken vs. Gau - Harken's damage needed to be better at first for her to have a shot here.
Harken vs. Groudon - Bulk Up makes Harken really emo.
Harken vs. Culgan (S2) - Culgan.
Harken vs. Arngrim - Straight-up physical slugfester without weirdness against Harken? Ummm, yeah.

Lloyd (LoD) vs. Luca - Kneejerk.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Odd Eye - Uh, want to say Lloyd juuuuuuust misses 2HKOing here. Odd Eye should 3HKO.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Johnny (SH3) - 2HKOs and isn't -quite- OHKOed. Tough luck.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Eirika - Eirika dodges waaaaaaaay too much here. She still should manage a double with a Killing Edge, methinks? And that's probably enough.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Gau - NE magic probably works its magic here with the speed split.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Groudon - More of that NE magic thingy.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Culgan (S2) - Culgan.
Lloyd (LoD) vs. Arngrim - Um, I guess.
      
Hugo vs. Luca - Flame Slash saves Luca's ass here.
Hugo vs. Odd Eye - Eye Beams.
Hugo vs. Johnny (SH3) - Wind of Sleep, win from there.
Hugo vs. Eirika - Hugo gets 2HKOed and needs to break through Eirika evade - which he sucks too much at without eating counters that kill him dead. That's game.
Hugo vs. Gau - Wind of Sleep again. Man.
Hugo vs. Groudon - Evade, status, stuff.
Hugo vs. Culgan (S2) - Culgan.
Hugo vs. Arngrim - The evade makes Arngrim so very emo.
      
Solofia vs. Luca - Solofia is too damned slow and probably gets two-turned by Luca's physicals (she/he'd need to have at least 1.7x pdur to avoid that? Yeah, that feels like a stretch).
Solofia vs. Odd Eye - Solofia is too damned slow Deux.
Solofia vs. Johnny (SH3) - Solofia is too damned slow Trois.
Solofia vs. Eirika - Eirika two-rounds pretty solidly, goes first and kinda mocks the offense with that evade. Tough cookies. And more of that Solofia being too damned slow thing.
Solofia vs. Gau - More of Sofia being slow.
Solofia vs. Groudon - Solofia has to rely on physical offense here? Dude, not good.
Solofia vs. Culgan (S2) - At least, Solofia can count on Culgan being unimpressive.
Solofia vs. Arngrim - I think Arngrim manages to OHKO with the full turn-2 chain. Going first makes things ugly here.
      
Billy (XG) vs. Luca - The defense buff doesn't really matter here. I think Billy manages to win the minute he evades an attack, which should happen on Luca's second overall turn.
Billy (XG) vs. Odd Eye - 2HKOs with a single action. That's game, more or less.
Billy (XG) vs. Johnny (SH3) - OHKOs.
Billy (XG) vs. Eirika - Eirika kinda one-rounds and that's that.
Billy (XG) vs. Gau - Um, yeah.
Billy (XG) vs. Groudon - Bulk Up.
Billy (XG) vs. Culgan (S2) - Culgan.
Billy (XG) vs. Arngrim - Final Blast!

Harken   vs   Jenna - Jenna.  Excellent damage and insane durability.  Harken can't break through the orbs.
Harken   vs   Xorn - Xorn.  No comment necessary.
Harken   vs   Luca - Luca, I guess.  Fairly close here, I guess. 
Harken   vs   OddEye - Harken. 
Harken   vs   KOS-MOS - KOS. 
Harken   vs   Johnny (SH 3) - Harken.  I actually think Cure might win this for him otherwise, though this is saddeningly close.  Heals while building stock, then combos with Ether Purge for death.  Maybe.
Harken   vs   Eirika - Harken.
Harken   vs   Gau - Harken.  Is not attracted to ugly misfits.
Harken   vs   Groudon - Harken.
Harken   vs   Culgan (S2) - Harken. 
Harken   vs   Shizel - Harken.  Shizel needed more HP or defenses for this, I think.  Close and a good fight, though.
Harken   vs   Arngrim - Arngrim.  Better boss.
     
Deamoned   vs   Jenna - Jenna.  It's fucking Jenna with a form-chain.
Deamoned   vs   Xorn - Xorn.  It's fucking Xorn.
Deamoned   vs   Luca - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   OddEye - Odd Eye.
Deamoned   vs   KOS-MOS - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Johnny (SH 3) - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Eirika - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Gau - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Groudon - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Culgan (S2) - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Shizel - Deamoned.
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim - Arngrim. 
     
Levin   vs   Jenna - Well, I've actually seen Levin fight in a battle or two as my roommate played the game.  Still shall not vote.
Levin   vs   Xorn
Levin   vs   Luca

The Matches
I abstain on Harken now.
      
Deamoned   vs   Jenna: Complete ownage. BoF5 boss v High Godlike.
Deamoned   vs   Xorn: Complete ownage pt 2.
Deamoned   vs   Luca: Not sure.
Deamoned   vs   OddEye: Yep.
Deamoned   vs   KOS-MOS: Stat busting? Or failing that, kills with damage.
Deamoned   vs   Johnny (SH 3): 2HKO with Dual React work? Edit: Oh, triple-acting instead of double. Meh.
Deamoned   vs   Eirika: Easy.
Deamoned   vs   Gau:: Edit: NEB does his thing. Though I'm a little uncomfortable with the BoF5 bosses always getting the maximum possible actions assuming no movement.
Deamoned   vs   Culgan (S2): Don't remember Culgan.
Deamoned   vs   Shizel: Outslugs?
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim: 2HKOs at worst.

Its amazing what a little Wyrming can do for BoF5 boss durability respect.
      
Levin   vs   Jenna: Jenna is pretty much unrankable.
Levin   vs   Xorn: Levin doesn't like things faster than him.
Levin   vs   Luca: Three turns to cancel!
Levin   vs   OddEye: More multi-acting?
Levin   vs   KOS-MOS: Here we go. Speed damage is going to hurt here.
Levin   vs   Johnny (SH 3): More hax.
Levin   vs   Eirika: Well, this is unpleasant. Evade alone is too much I think. Throw in counters and...
Levin   vs   Gau: I... don't want to think about this too much. If Levin's speed-based damage didn't check def this would be different.
Levin   vs   Culgan (S2)
Levin   vs   Shizel
Levin   vs   Arngrim

Levin is spoiled a few times here. But generally performs well when he doesn't face a multi-turner/high-tier FE'er/boss *faster than him. Admittedly they aren't rare in Godlike but they aren't THAT common. Bad pool for him, I think.
      
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Jenna
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Xorn
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Luca: Think his damage is better?
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   OddEye
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   KOS-MOS
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Johnny (SH 3)
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Eirika: I guess she kills fast enough. I'm assuming she's doubling. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (what was Lloyd's exact speed?)
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Gau: 2HKO NE magic works.
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Culgan (S2)
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Shizel
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Arngrim
      
Straightforward fast 2HKOer recognizable as a boss.

Hugo   vs   Jenna
Hugo   vs   Xorn
Hugo   vs   Luca: Hmm. Flame-slash spamming vs. Fast-healing and... nah. Flame slash spamming works.
Hugo   vs   OddEye: Kneejerk reaction is he 2-3HKOs with Odd-Eye Beam and that works?
Hugo   vs   KOS-MOS: S-Chain hits evade? Sure.
Hugo   vs   Johnny (SH 3): Just better at what he does.
Hugo   vs   Eirika: Eirika is good at what she does... though did Hugo's evade come from skills that didn't care about accuracy?
Hugo   vs   Gau: WoS? Sure, why not.
Hugo   vs   Culgan (S2)
Hugo   vs   Shizel: Lots of fast healing?
Hugo   vs   Arngrim: Evade.

Hugo's good all-around. Except against quality boss mages. And most quality bosses in Godlike are either mages or too good to care!
      
Billy (XG)   vs   Jenna
Billy (XG)   vs   Xorn
Billy (XG)   vs   Luca: We analyzed this and determined he couldn't get the buff-fountain off the ground, I think. 3HKOd, was it?
Billy (XG)   vs   OddEye: One-rounds.
Billy (XG)   vs   KOS-MOS: Interesting. S-Chain works here?
Billy (XG)   vs   Johnny (SH 3): Does that buff thing.
Billy (XG)   vs   Eirika: Is he one-rounded? That Sacred Twin hurts, after all. I'll think about it later.
Billy (XG)   vs   Gau: Physicals don't work too well here.
Billy (XG)   vs   Culgan (S2)
Billy (XG)   vs   Shizel: Haste-healing.
Billy (XG)   vs   Arngrim: When Haste-healing doesn't work very well.

Not a good enough haste-healer for Godlike, I think.

Didn't something like this come up for Gau v Albert Simon, NEB? And you hyped his Mblock (by any method) giving him a 67%+ win against the HP-1 -> Tap method? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, by all means.

Deamoned has this thing where he has solidly OHKOing damage, so he doesn't have to rely on his HP-1 (which sucks). He probably needs five of his six hits to win, granted, but yeah, think he manages.

Speaking of which, if you don't see Johnny OHKOing (no Ether Purge?) then he's getting owned pretty badly.

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

Sleepmore really screws with Arngrim offhand, statusing costs him his energy. Solofia should 2HKO even him.

Deamoned   vs   Jenna - Jenna is rape.  Bhairava slaughters through AD, and she's getting a minimum of two shots of it.
Deamoned   vs   Xorn - Ohgodthespeedohgodthespeedohgodthespeed
Deamoned   vs   KOS-MOS - S-chain does horrible things.  And KOS has good damage.
Deamoned   vs   Gau - Deamoned's damage is not fail.
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim - Arngrim's damage, however, is just plain painful.

Hugo   vs   Jenna - Bhairava.  Enough said.
Hugo   vs   Xorn - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Hugo   vs   KOS-MOS - KOS: Too good for Heavy, too bad for Godlike.  Thank you, S-Chain!
Hugo   vs   Gau
Hugo   vs   Arngrim
     
Billy (XG)   vs   Jenna Nothing's saving him against Bhairava.
Billy (XG)   vs   Xorn - Did I mention the speed difference hurts?  Billy is heal-locked.
Billy (XG)   vs   KOS-MOS - Could go either way, pending on speed.  I'd have to check who's worse.
Billy (XG)   vs   Gau - fucking Magic Jar
Billy (XG)   vs   Arngrim - If Arngrim gets first shot, Billy's likely dying.  End of story.  But again, checking.
<+Nama-EmblemOfFire> ...Have the GhebFE guy and the ostian princess guy collaborate.
 <@Elecman> Seems reasonable.

Deamoned   vs   Shizel
Deamoned   vs   Arngrim
     
5/10

Levin   vs   Jenna- Maybe my memory of DDS is fuzzy, but what guaranteed Jenna shots of Bhariva was that killing a form didn't skip her turn, and formchanged happened between turns.  But the way Levin works, that shouldn't be  a problem.  Awesome.  (Why yes, I am ignoring the orb form.  I do that, sanity thing >.>)
Levin   vs   Xorn
Levin   vs   Luca- Levin chips him down, but three separate turns mean he's getting damage in even when Levin laps and cancels more than one.  Defense of course does the rest.
Levin   vs   OddEye
Levin   vs   KOS-MOS
Levin   vs   Johnny (SH 3)
Levin   vs   Eirika- Yeaahh.

Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Culgan (S2)
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Shizel
Lloyd (LoD)   vs   Arngrim
     
6/10.

Hugo   vs   OddEye
Hugo   vs   KOS-MOS

Hugo   vs   Arngrim
