[Dhyerwolf]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9)- Myria. Damn you Kuja for your counter whoring failing.
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8)- ...?
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs)- Valk is faster to me, and 2HKOs. Stun Guard+Fire resistance
Necrosaro (DQ4) vs Emelious de Pamela (G3)- Emelious

Heavy

Red (SaGa) vs Margulis (XS)- Red
Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4)- Lazlo
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG)- Marivel. Turn 2 ID, Emeralda can't deal with that.
Todd Dukakis (WA3) vs T260G (SaGa)- T260

Middle

Menardi (GS) vs Norris (CC)- Menardi
Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7)- Legault? Don't remember who he was at all, but it's Lucca.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8)- Yangus. Turn 2 ID.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3)- Ulf

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4)- Zoah. Brey's durabliity just seems to problematic here.

Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs)- Lucied
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2)- Yukimaru

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9) - Go first, OHKO, collect victoly.
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8) - UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs) - Would like to see someone break down the match once again.

Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4) - Die in a ditch, Lazlo.
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG) - I guess? Emeralda MDef makes the ID turn three and she immunes the sleep. That's game.
Todd Dukakis (WA3) vs T260G (SaGa) - Mismatch.

Middle

Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7) - Faster, evades, hits Lucca PDef.

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4) - Uh, I think Zoah OHKOs with a full chain while Brey kinda like 4HKOs and -fries- if his status wears off or misses. Brey just sucks too hard at taking physicals.
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC) - You have to be fucking kidding me.
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs) - Chomp.

[muakaka]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9)- No comment.
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8)- Status will burn, sooner or later. And Jecht's probably durable enough that his status will hit before he falls.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs)- No comment.

Heavy

Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4)- Handy ID. S4 form has a 90% chance, ST form's ID pretty much never drops below 100% unless he's facing Yulie Mdef.
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG)- Er......

Middle

Menardi (GS) vs Norris (CC)- Even with my awful respect for Menardi, she's up against CC. Kneejerking here.
Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7)- Kneejerk too.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8)- Don't remember Locke enough to care, don't care about Yangus enough to remember.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3)- Both 2HKO. Ulf goes first.

Light

Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC)- ....When all logic fails, vote against CC.
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2)- Meh, Yukimaru respect is ever-so-slightly above VP mage.

[RadLink5]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9) - Myria. Screw you Myria.
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8) - Eirika. Kneejerk, though I'm shocked Eirika is even in Godlike.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs) - Lenneth. Pretty sure she tanks a Glare and 2HKOs.
Necrosaro (DQ4) vs Emelious de Pamela (G3) - Emelious. Actually hurt my head to think about this one, and I'm still not sure, but I think Emelious' damage output is high enough that none of Necrosaro's forms get to act more than a turn each if they're lucky. I respect Necrosaro's damage enough that he could win this if he was just faster.

Heavy

Red (SaGa) vs Margulis (XS) - Red.
Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4) - Lazlo.
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG) - Emeralda. I think?
Todd Dukakis (WA3) vs T260G (SaGa) - T260G.

Middle

Menardi (GS) vs Norris (CC) - Menardi. GODLIKE CHAMP!!!
Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7) - Lucca. Kneejerk.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8) - Yangus. I think? Bleh.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3) - Ulf.

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4) - Brey.
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC) - Mustadio. Damn CC scrubs.
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs) - Lucied. lol ramus
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2) - Yukimaru. Upgrade to Middle!

[Monkeyfinger]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9)
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8): hurf. At worst, Jecht 2HKOs with his form 2 physical. That's super accurate (Yuna doesn't dodge it in game - okay that's only proof of good accuracy to me, not super, but on the other hand I have less FE evade respect), and it's MT which means most people don't let it be countered by FE people. HP buffering insures that form functionally has first strike, and no way does one double kill it.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs):Vs. VP1 form: Faster, and they both 2HKO. (How the fuck can you see Lenneth as faster?) VP2 form: The available fire resistance is weaker, so Rubicant OHKOs.
Necrosaro (DQ4) vs Emelious de Pamela (G3)

Heavy

Red (SaGa) vs Margulis (XS)
Todd Dukakis (WA3) vs T260G (SaGa)

Middle

Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7)
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8): Will wait.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3)

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4)
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC)
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs)
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2): Will wait till I can vote on Yukimaru

[James_xeno]

Red vs Margulis resistance note.

Margulis resists fire (by 75%), Aura (25%) and Thunder (50%). And unless i'm mistaken, Red's only real good damage is fire based.

[Monkeyfinger]

Red has above average damage with lifesprinkler which is a plain old non-elemenetal sword attack. It falls short of his best fire tech which is almost double average, but it's not bad. When some people use lifesprinkler it's evadable (which would spell doom vs. Margulis), but with Alkaiser stat boosts affecting accuracy... probably not happening.

Good damage yeah. Above average first turn, tied with 3 others in 4th best, but after power ups it's not nearly as... impressive. below average, and at about 7th of 13.

I'm still not seeing it, especially with Margulis not being slow or frail.

[Ultradude]

Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8): Jecht Beam.

Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7)

[superaielman]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9)
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8)- Stone/ITE. Don't care, get out of Godlike Erikia.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs)- I guess?
Necrosaro (DQ4) vs Emelious de Pamela (G3)

Heavy

Red (SaGa) vs Margulis (XS)- Margulis isn't that much more durable than Red overall and he's crushed statwise everywhere else. (Speed, damage, etc)
Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4)- ID
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG)- Kneejerk.
Todd Dukakis (WA3) vs T260G (SaGa)- Todd is not a Heavy.

Middle

Menardi (GS) vs Norris (CC)- Speed if nothing else.
Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7)- Legault's extremely fast and extremely evasive and has physicals. All of this spells Lucca dying horribly.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8)- Pathetic.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3)- DOWNGRADE ULF.

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4)- Chaos is a vicious status against mages and decent against fighters. (25% chance of attacking the enemy, 25% chance of using magic if you have it or wasting a turn, 50% chance of attacking yourself). Just think the odds aren't in Brey's favor here at all- Chaos could miss, Zoah could attack him, etc.
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs  Sneff (CC)- Mustadio doesn't have shields or any kind of evasion or offense or a skillset or.. well you get the picture.
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs)
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2)- Yukimaru is a very solid light. Lyseria is VP mage trash.

[Niu]

Red vs Margulis resistance note.

Margulis resists fire (by 75%), Aura (25%) and Thunder (50%). And unless i'm mistaken, Red's only real good damage is fire based.

Which is not exactly accurate. Re-Al Phoenix has multiple elements, it also include strike element. Margulis doesn't resist that, and SaGa attacks always hit the weakest defense if an attack is multi elemental.

[Meeplelard]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9): On the plus side, Kuja ignores her defense! Pity he doesn't ignore her HP.
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8): Jecht Beam.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs): Rubicant is above average speed and has no problems 2HKOing *CECIL* with Scorch when Fire is resisted in FF4, and Cecil's got a fair amount more HP and better magic defense than Lenneth.  Add in that Lenneth goes second (Rubicant's above average speed, just not significantly) and isn't OHKOing, this fight is pretty clear cut.
...for her VP1 form.  VP2 form, her fire resistance is much lower I believe (only 30% instead of 50%), so while she'll probably survive Scorch, I'm not sure she'll survive Scorch + Fire 2 counter.
Necrosaro (DQ4) vs Emelious de Pamela (G3): Outslugs badly.

Heavy

Red (SaGa) vs Margulis (XS): Welcome to heavy, Margilius.
Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4): Voice of Death.
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG): Emeralda's got the magic defense, speed and offense to take out Marivel before Guillotine hits and such.
Todd Dukakis (WA3) vs T260G (SaGa): Bad draw for the Afro King.

Middle

Menardi (GS) vs Norris (CC): Yeah, think she's durable and fast enough to Deathscythe Norris before he can muster the offense.
Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7): Kneejerk.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8): Need to look up Yangus, though that 50% ID rate sounds high.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3): Should outslug.

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4): Zoah has offense, Brey does not have durability, so I kneejerk in this direction.
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC): I don't feel like thinking about this one <_<
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs): Lucied only loses this fight if you hold him to his ACF form, I think.
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2): I can technically vote on this fight, having JUST gotten Yukimaru in Dis 2! But I'll refrain.

[Dhyerwolf]

Typical note in case people don't realize it: XG Mdef doesn't do anything to status, so Emeralda isn't status resistant at all in game.

[Tide]

Godlike
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8) - I'll buy Monkey's argument since it really saves me from thinking out what happens with form 2. Eirika probably beats form 1 without much trouble though.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs) - We've seen this 3 times now? Anyways, thought process hasn't changed. VP1 form can't OHKO, Rubicant is faster and definitely 2HKOs. VP2 form doesn't have enough Fire resistance, and takes something like 94-95% from one Scorch so the follow up Fire 2 counter is lethal.

Middle
Menardi (GS) vs Norris (CC) - IDs Norris. God this is sad.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3) - No clue. Partly due to not knowing how I lean towards SP in the DL.

Light
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC) - Sneff probably has better damage. That is pretty much that.

[James_xeno]

Red vs Margulis resistance note.

Margulis resists fire (by 75%), Aura (25%) and Thunder (50%). And unless i'm mistaken, Red's only real good damage is fire based.

Which is not exactly accurate. Re-Al Phoenix has multiple elements, it also include strike element. Margulis doesn't resist that, and SaGa attacks always hit the weakest defense if an attack is multi elemental.

Ok, even if the attack does hit multiple elements, Re-Al Phoenix is still going to end up worse then Red's lifesprinkler damage. (75% out of half the attack power) So again he's left without a means to do much.

The point here is that Re-Al Phoenix is not being resisted at all.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9): Yep.
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8): Don't allow HP buffering (having multiple PCs pierces it in-game, good enough for me), but Stone is still turn 2 and I kinda doubt Eirika two-rounds? Maybe.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs): I always forget about Fire 2 counters.
Necrosaro (DQ4) vs Emelious de Pamela (G3): Better.

Heavy

Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4): Whatever. Hey, I'll be able to cheer for Red next round! Not something that happens every day.
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG): *sticks out tongue at Dhyer*

Middle

Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7): Isn't slow or frail.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8): Death or something.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3): *sticks out tongue at Super*

Light

Zoah (CC) vs Brey (DQ4): Sounds like he wins.
Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC): Dear god.
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs): ^^

[Dhyerwolf]

Still don't see how Marivel Silence that locks physical techs is being prevented turn 1 by Emmy's Mdef anyways.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Silenced characters in XG don't lose their physical techs, and the Sleep immunity accessory also covers silence. The tiebreaks are in Emmy's favor at that case.

[Pyro]

Godlike

Myria (BoFs) vs Kuja (FF9)
Jecht (FFX) vs Eirika (FE8): Thinking the accurate delay physical and 100% stone do their thing.
Rubicant (FF4) vs Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs): Rubicant don't need no stinkin Fire 2 counters. Anyway, VP1 form gets OHKO'd/2HKOd and doesn't OHKO back. VP2 form has the healing overwhelmed in 2-3 turns even with the resistance and CERTAINLY doesn't kill in 2 hits, let alone hits she has to heal on.

Heavy

Red (SaGa) vs Margulis (XS): Silly Saga.
Kyra Tierny (PS4) vs Lazlo (S4): PS4er without ID being IDd. Something is off here...
Marivel Armitage (WA2) vs Emeralda Kasim (XG): Status doesn't give a rat's arse in either game about Mdef. Can't see making it hit Mdef just because it does in games totally unreleated. Emmy blocks the Sleep/Lock status, but can't stop the ID. Someone might want to take more notes on Guillotine though?

Middle

Lucca Ashtear (CT) vs Legault (FE7): Gotta believe that doubles average + Physicals >> Lucca. I seriously doubt he's OHKOd.
Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8): ID? ID.
Levi (S5) vs Ulf (G3): Perfect magic evade, or just plain old outslug.

Light

Mustadio Bunanza (FFT) vs Sneff (CC): Urk.
Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC) vs Lucied (WAs): Yeah no.
Lyseria (VP) vs Yukimaru (Dis2): Yeah no Mk 2.

Jecht (FFX)THE BEST vs Eirika (FE8) - Oh god, FE in godlike~

Locke Cole (FF6) vs Yangus (DQ8)Spikey Helmet - Better ID~

Ramus Farmain (L:SSSC)Far less awesome than Pokey vs Lucied (WAs) - ACF Luceid has terrific durability.
