Halloween battle: tiil the end of time
« on: November 22, 2018, 11:05:02 PM »
It didn't occur to me to nominate a single Star Ocean character even though there are plenty of freaks to choose from.  So t goes.  Werecreatures and demons have been sent home though demons earned a vote so they can claim some pride.  Pirates claim the bonus match with no nonsense popping up.

Winners bracket -

Robots: Asgard (WA3?), Tio with option of Tight Robe (Grandia2), Zero (MMX: CM)
vs
Ghosts: Pamela Ibis (MK), Wraith (VP), Auron (FFX)

Losers bracket -

Witches: Lulu (FFX), Thage (EP), Arche (ToP)
vs
Pirates: Rufus (VP2?), Pirate (BD), Aika with Purity Shard (SoA)

Vampires: Hilda Valentine (SH3), Joachim Valentine (SH2), Asellus (Saga)
vs
Puppeteers: Elize (ToX), Gepetto with Spikes and Mind's Eye (SH2), Mel with Lightning Rune (Suiko3)

Bonus: A warlock, a paladin, and Jason Vorhees walk into a bar.

  for a quick break from a nearby dance party.  Lezard, Edgar, and Cecil were having a great time.  Then another trio showed up in nearly identical costumes.  This isn't a situation on its own but the hosts and a lot of the partygoers thought it would be funny to have them compete against each other in a crowd-pleaser contest.

  Thus, two trios find themselves in a dance-off.  You can vote for whichever trio has better dancing moves or wins in a conventional team match.  I won't be picky when counting votes.

- Lezard (VP series), Cecil (FF4), Edgar (FF6)
- Magus (CT), Beatrix (FF9), Vincent (FF7)*
- Wilbell,  Witchier than the other witches in the tourney, sweeps the popularity vote.

*Vincent starts with a full Limit bar and a Ribbon.  He's at Limit level 3 and must transform on the first turn.  This assume the duel path.

I dunno if adorable cat-ears count as a scary Halloween costume.  I guess Celine could rock a witch costume, but SO seems slim pickings.

Witches: Lulu (FFX), Thage (EP), Arche (ToP)
Pirates: Rufus (VP2?), Pirate (BD), Aika with Purity Shard (SoA)

Delta Shield seems EXTREMELY F'ING BAD for the witches.  I guess it's time to break out the LETHAL CAIT SITH from Lulu.  But Rufus and Pirate should be able to MURDER ONE PERSON A ROUND and Pirate can immune ID and maybe Rufus can too so PIRACY PREVAILS, even if somehow Lulu gets lucky and kills Aika turn 1.


Vampires: Hilda Valentine (SH3), Joachim Valentine (SH2), Asellus (Saga)
Puppeteers: Elize (ToX), Gepetto with Spikes and Mind's Eye (SH2), Mel with Lightning Rune (Suiko3)

Uh...  the Valentine's element was Earth, right?  So Mel's Lightning is hitting a weakness here.  And Elize is making her team ID-immune again if Mel needs it, but honestly why bother, Elize just going aggro and finishing off the horribly wounded Hilda before she even gets a turn might be better.  Asellus needs some amazing status that is seen as working here I suspect.

Winners bracket -

Robots: Asgard (WA3?), Tio with option of Tight Robe (Grandia2), Zero (MMX: CM)

Ghosts: Pamela Ibis (MK), Wraith (VP), Auron (FFX)- Gut reaction. Wraith can live to turn 2 after Auron breaks Zero's Attack + Kiss 2 Everyone

Losers bracket -

Witches: Lulu (FFX), Thage (EP), Arche (ToP)
vs
Pirates: Rufus (VP2?), Pirate (BD), Aika with Purity Shard (SoA)

Vampires: Hilda Valentine (SH3), Joachim Valentine (SH2), Asellus (Saga)
vs
Puppeteers: Elize (ToX), Gepetto with Spikes and Mind's Eye (SH2), Mel with Lightning Rune (Suiko3)
...into the nightfall.

Yeah Wraith probably does live long enough to atomize Asgard and Zero.  Tio can't handle much on her own.

Wilbell in the bonus match, clearly.

Bonus match up in first post.



Robots: Asgard (WA3?), Tio with option of Tight Robe (Grandia2), Zero (MMX: CM)
vs
Ghosts: Pamela Ibis (MK), Wraith (VP), Auron (FFX)

Ouch.  Power Break gimps Zero and Whisper to Stars can only do so much to undo that.  Asgard's best magical non-gravity damage is also tied to his HP which limits him as he's weakened.  Forgot about Kiss 4 Everyone which makes the robots' chances of putting away Wraith rather dim.

Witches: Lulu (FFX), Thage (EP), Arche (ToP)
vs
Pirates: Rufus (VP2?), Pirate (BD), Aika with Purity Shard (SoA)

Spoiled by Delta Shield leaving Pirate free to unleash an offense game.

Vampires: Hilda Valentine (SH3), Joachim Valentine (SH2), Asellus (Saga)
vs
Puppeteers: Elize (ToX), Gepetto with Spikes and Mind's Eye (SH2), Mel with Lightning Rune (Suiko3) 

Kneejerk that Elize protects her team from Valentines' instant death while the other two beat them down, then switches to offense mode and blows up Asellus.  Could be swayed.

Bonus: Wilbell She has her ways of attracting attention.  Best outfit by far.
