[SnowFire]

Team Lightbringers vs. Team Swordskillers
Raze (MK2), Kurando (SH2), Serge (CC) vs. Agrias, Meliadoul, Beowulf (FFT)

Uh, Raze is too important here, pass for now.

Team Princesses vs. Team Speedrun Special
Princess Toadstool, Nina2, Clarissa  vs. Jeremy (WA4), Tidus (FFX), Jet (WA3)

Toadstool absolutely must die (~average HP & defense), and ideally 1 of Nina2 or Clarissa needs to die - neither are soloing, but both of them together surviving the burst probably win.  Horrifically wounding Clarissa might work too.  I guess this depends really deeply on Jeremy respect, but Clarissa's meh durability probably bites her here, so leaning Speedrun despite some Jeremy disrespect on my part.

Team Clones vs. Team Perfect
Chaz (PS4), Claude (SO2), Cress (ToP) vs. Wakka (FFX), Wugui (SH), Alfina (G3)
I don't know the Clones super-well, but I assume that Claude & Cress have real trouble hurting Wakka, so can Chaz deal with Wakka before Wakka statuses him out or drains his MP?  If not, it's Perfect, if yes, it's Clones.

Team Gags vs Team Boss Rush
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Lassic, Marcello, Jenova

It's an OP Pyro team.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Team Lightbringers vs. Team Swordskillers
Raze (MK2), Kurando (SH2), Serge (CC) vs. Agrias, Meliadoul, Beowulf (FFT): Holy absorption and shields put a ridiculous dent in Lightbringers' offence, and Mel/Beo can both largely neutralise one enemy when they get turns. That's too much.

Team Princesses vs. Team Speedrun Special
Princess Toadstool, Nina2, Clarissa  vs. Jeremy (WA4), Tidus (FFX), Jet (WA3): I certainly don't see Jeremy having problems downing one PC a turn here, and Tidus ensures he gets two before the enemies get one.

Team Clones vs. Team Perfect
Chaz (PS4), Claude (SO2), Cress (ToP) vs. Wakka (FFX), Wugui (SH), Alfina (G3): Chaz outspeeds Wakka and Explode is turn 1 against his Magic stat. Claude outspeeds Wugui and probably one-rounds him, if not Cress makes sure of it? Alfina isn't soloing.

Team Gags vs Team Boss Rush
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Lassic, Marcello, Jenova: Good news: Lashiec is weak to fire. Bad news: everything else.

[Random Consonant]

Team Lightbringers vs. Team Swordskillers
Raze (MK2), Kurando (SH2), Serge (CC) vs. Agrias, Meliadoul, Beowulf (FFT)- chamelion robe strats

Team Princesses vs. Team Speedrun Special
Princess Toadstool, Nina2, Clarissa  vs. Jeremy (WA4), Tidus (FFX), Jet (WA3) - speedgame strats

Team Clones vs. Team Perfect
Chaz (PS4), Claude (SO2), Cress (ToP) vs. Wakka (FFX), Wugui (SH), Alfina (G3) - explode then facepunching strats

Team Gags vs Team Boss Rush
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Lassic, Marcello, Jenova - ps4 boss strats

[Tide]

Team Lightbringers vs. Team Swordskillers
Raze (MK2), Kurando (SH2), Serge (CC) vs. Agrias, Meliadoul, Beowulf (FFT) - All the FFTers are slower,  but they all equip Cham Robes. This completely shuts down Raze and cuts into Serge's offense pretty notably, so the only person who can do anything is Kurando. He won't MT OHKO, so Beo will get a turn and status him out. At which point, Serge goes down to Shellbust + something from Agrias. Watch out, SKILL LESS RAZE

Team Princesses vs. Team Speedrun Special
Princess Toadstool, Nina2, Clarissa  vs. Jeremy (WA4), Tidus (FFX), Jet (WA3) - People maybe underestimating how fast Hasted Jeremy is. He has a base of 171% average or something, so after Haste, he's like ~340%. Clarissa is like 124% and Toadstool is like 112% (average after first turn). This means, Jeremy actually Triple turns Toadstool. With 6 attacks on Clarissa, she will certainly die. She probably won't make it past the first two attacks. At which  point, Jeremy swarms Toadstool and Nina won't solo. Oh, Jet exists too to poke and add some damage or go for Gatling Burst. But yeah, 2 on the other side will die and Tidus can solo after the burst damage anyway.

Team Clones vs. Team Perfect
Chaz (PS4), Claude (SO2), Cress (ToP) vs. Wakka (FFX), Wugui (SH), Alfina (G3) - Chaz outspeeding Wakka and OHKOing him I think makes this easy. Team Perfect is down a person, and Claude will certainly wreck Wugui.

Team Gags vs Team Boss Rush
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Lassic, Marcello, Jenova - Uh...Marcello might solo everyone on his own, let alone when he has 2 other buddies for support.

This. The only fight that requires thought is the FFT vs Lightbringers team one, and that one... whoof. Cam Robe makes Raze Light bait (...sorry) and seriously hurts Serge. Kurando is getting dogpiled and KOed on turn one, and Serge isn't soloing this.
