White Mage (FF3) vs Axel (Dis2)- Don't think boss form had the damage to win this

As usual, fear my NR voting powers.

No vote on Remedi's fight, though I write for her so fucking often I half think I *can* vote on her. Shit I had to revote this week and delete my vote for her.

Vexacion (BoF5) vs Bloodbane (VP1)- Usual 'haha Bloodbane' vote.

White Mage (FF3) vs Axel (Dis2)- PC form and boss form both hate status and both hate healers with deep resources. So.. splat.

Light

Morph Jerme (FE7) vs Brusom (Brig)- Think brusom scores a double here for me. That is that.

Boy (SoE) vs Queen Remedi (FFTA): Think he's faster, so Barrier/Force Field hype and such.
Vexacion (BoF5) vs Bloodbane (VP1: Think he wins the slugfest.

Heavy

Ashley Riot (VS) vs Gwendolyn (OS): Can't vote.
Tibarn (FE9) vs Zero (MMXCM): Tibarn goes first and doubles.  That pretty much ends most matches right there.  Heck, Zero might be OHKOed, but I'm not sure what matters more between his 2nd best HP (by a nonfail amount vs. average) or his bad defenses.  Either way, at worst, Tibarn 2HKOs (after the double), is not OHKOed, and has counters while Zero does not.

Middle

Harley (DDS) vs Baofu (Pers2): Need to look up what Baofu can do exactly now <_<
White Mage (FF3) vs Axel (Dis2): Can't vote.

Light

Morph Jerme (FE7) vs Brusom (Brig): The reign of Morph Jerme ends, while the reign of Brusom continues?
Suzu Fujibayashi  (ToP) vs Chuck Preston (WA5): I think Intrude wins this fight...

Vexacion (BoF5) vs Bloodbane (VP1): OHKOs.

Light

Morph Jerme (FE7) vs Brusom (Brig): Draining vs. no draining? I don't fucking know, shit.

Vexacion (BoF5) vs Bloodbane (VP1) - Uh... Bloodbane. Huh.

Heavy

Ashley Riot (VS) vs Gwendolyn (OS) - Shadow Ally pretty much. Also, has decent durability to boot. Ashley I think has a pretty gimmicky strategy that I don't think will really help him much. At all. What with Chaining and Risk and all. Ashley loses slugfest I guess.

Middle

Harley (DDS) vs Baofu (Pers2) - Can't vote if only because I've completely forgotten everything about Persona 2.
White Mage (FF3) vs Axel (Dis2) - Boss form Axel is kinda... pathetic. Apart from kickass music.
19:35:58 (trancehime) there's a specific spot in the game that's for item duping
19:36:14 (Sanae) o.o
19:39:11 (Sanae) I'd love to dupe a second trancehime.

Vexacion (BoF5) vs Bloodbane (VP1): Don't see the OHKO, and there's no way Vex survives two Bloodbane attacks.

Heavy

Tibarn (FE9) vs Zero (MMXCM): Yeah, Tibarn's opening attack leaves Zero too near death.

Light

Morph Jerme (FE7) vs Brusom (Brig): This would be interesting if I respected the draining perhaps? As is, easy 2HKO.

Brusom also has Iai Strike which specifically ignores counters in game.

I don't think that argument works for me. Magic doesn't get countered in Brig either but I'd certainly see FE 1-2 range countering it (EDIT: if it's singletarget). Unless you want to argue Iai is somehow special in a way magic isn't.

If Iai Strike is a 1-range physical and doesn't provoke counters, then I wouldn't see it provoking FE counters since 1-range physicals normally do in Brig, so it would actually be a special property of the attack.  If it's a ranged physical, then it's more iffy.  Don't remember offhand which it is. >_>

It's classed as a 'special' type of attack, all of which (Breath attacks, Djinn attacks, Cry Bird) ignore counters in game. Other types of ranged attacks don't ignore counters if you're in range, Iai Strike does. I'm going to have Neph test it to be sure my memory's not faulty on this one, but I'm fairly confident on this.

From Gourry's FAQ:

Quote from: Gourry
This lets them attack from 2 hexes away at cost of 40 MP, allowing
Samurai to be involved in the offense without having to get too close to the
enemy. Even if the enemy is next to them, they cannot counterattack the Iai
Slash.

Ooh, right, things like Throw Spear and so on got countered, didn't they? That would make Iai Strike special, yeah.

White Mage vs Axel is typical healer vs Disgaea not-endgame boss, with the added benefit of Axel sucking against status. Can't vote on anything else this week.
