[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Team Snow | Virginia, Geno, Nina4 and Raja
[Floor 5a]
[Viginia: Love Charm, Aqua Wisp, Lust Jaw]
Team Snow vs. Guy(L2) and Guy(FE7), Guy (ToTA) - Um, lol? All the guys are ID fodder and generally slower than the party. Not threatening.
Team Snow vs. Kyra, Kary and Karin - By now, Nina should either be status-immune or status-resistant, and Virginia has Status Lock on Love Charm. However, this is unnecessary: Geno just got Geno Blast, and that will be his best damage until Geno Flash arrives. It's also NE. AND Virginia's basically fully twinked for magical offense, just at the point where WA3 magic takes a massive kick upwards. Two Nina+Ginny turns should off Kary while Geno IDs Kyra. Since Kary can't do much to a full team (she can OHKO Raja, sure, but she's dying next turn. Then what? Karin versus the world? Yeah no), this is just dandy.
Team Snow vs. FF4a Cid, FF7 Cid, Seed - Seed is really frail. Ginny/Nina/Geno off him before SL goes off and then it's smooth sailing.
Team Snow vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Albert Serdio, Alena - Alena... isn't enough to deal with this. Geno IDs Alex and the rest of the team is so fast. Hell, Ginny could OHKO Alex with Dark Lucied off the massive magic and Alex's retarded amount of resists (on the other hand, he'd forfeit the equips to avoid it, but that wouldn't help much). Granted, doesn't really matter, and there are two revivers (three with Virginia using Summon Raftina, possibly? And definitely with Mystic) to deal with. Once Alex is out of the picture, the enemies are hard-pressed to pull off any offense, and they also want to off Geno immediately. EDIT: Huh, the summon mults are also better than I thought. Off Mag-twinked Virginia, a summon+Nina4 turn+Geno turn would probably manage to sweep about half the party here, including Alex, since he doesn't resist Darkness. Wouldn't kill Alena, but them's the breaks.
Team Snow vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (ShF1) - Uh, this team against this amount of healing? This won't do.

Team Unoriginal | Orlandu, Nel, Garnet, Nei, FF1 Monk
[Floor 5a]
Team Unoriginal vs. Guy(L2) and Guy(FE7), Guy (ToTA) - Yeah.
Team Unoriginal vs. Kyra, Kary and Karin - Orlandu and Nel immune Hold! This should keep them up well enough, is my kneejerk? Kary needs to decide between Garnet and Nei to punch past, and Garnet+Nel+Cid should actually kill Kary before she gets the chance to. So.
Team Unoriginal vs. FF4a Cid, FF7 Cid, Seed - Silent Lake against Cid? Yeah no.
Team Unoriginal vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Albert Serdio, Alena - First, kill Alex, then, break Alena's weapon. There goes the fight.
Team Unoriginal vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (ShF1) - Um. Yeah.

Team Nitori | Rikku, Benjamin, Cecil, Mint
[Floor 3b]
*All ST is MT
Team Nitori vs. Erk and Dorcas
Team Nitori vs. Tidus (Caladbolg) and FFT Time Mage
Team Nitori vs. Luc and Juan

Team Nitori vs. Dhoulmagus and Zalbag - MT Life. The -pain-. And the healing overkill doesn't hurt either.

[Bardiche]

All three pass~

[Dhyerwolf]

All teams pass. The two on level 5 both have two people that can either block ID, or block ID and go before Albert Simon. That works well enough.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Team Snow | Virginia, Geno, Nina4 and Raja
[Floor 5a]
Team Snow vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Albert Serdio, Alena- This is kind of gut. Albert Simon has initiative, Geno now has 1 HP. Alena is faster than Geno, and kills him off. Team Snow can't kill Alex before his turn now, I think, and the problem is that I think FDA kill Raja in a hit thanks to that effective 70% Fire weakness. At this point, Alena's turn is coming back around. If Nina or Viriginia used their turn to revive Geno, then Albert is just going to kill him. If not, Albert will go after Nina, and Alena will send her massive pain at Virginia. Unless there is some skill I'm missing here (Or if someone is faster than Alena?). Of course, if this is just meant to be Albert Simon 1, Team Snow wins easily.

Considering the dungeon generally goes by the earlier forms according to the floor and this is floor 5, I would assume it's Albert 1. I ran off that assumption, anyway, although I don't think Albert 2 would be enough. But I force him to use Holy Chest on his initiative turn.

Team Snow vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (ShF1)


Team Nitori vs. Luc and Juan- Okay. Rikku has to take Luc out ASAP, or else the team is eating evil MT Death (Yeah, Ben perenially is lower levelled than the other PCs until the end, so I wouldn't see him as above average now, I think), and I can't find the list of what items she has at this point.

I always assumed it was the one with Amon, since that seemed about Floor 5ish to me. For whatever that might be worth. (Is that 1?)

Also: http://www.rpgdl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dungeon_Stuff#Rikku

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Both forms have Amon. >_>

EDIT: Wait, the first form is the one that transforms into Amon and the other one is something else kinda (Neo Amon? Don't quite remember). So yeah, that's right.

[Pyro]

All three pass.

[superaielman]

Team Snow | Virginia, Geno, Nina4 and Raja
[Floor 5a]
[Viginia: Love Charm, Aqua Wisp, Lust Jaw]
Team Snow vs. Guy(L2) and Guy(FE7), Guy (ToTA)
Team Snow vs. Kyra, Kary and Karin- Sure, I'll bite on Geno Whirl hype.
Team Snow vs. FF4a Cid, FF7 Cid, Seed
Team Snow vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Albert Serdio, Alena- !!!/Alena kills Geno, Red Dragon Anger should OHKO Raja, and Albert is probably going to be able to seriously hurt Nina. Team's too damn locked down here.
Team Snow vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (ShF1)

Team Unoriginal | Orlandu, Nel, Garnet, Nei, FF1 Monk
[Floor 5a]
Team Unoriginal vs. Guy(L2) and Guy(FE7), Guy (ToTA)- Cid+Nei=goodbye FE Guy, and he's the only remote threat on the field.
Team Unoriginal vs. Kyra, Kary and Karin-  Song of Madness means that Nel/Orlandu/Monk are OHKOing. Yeah.
Team Unoriginal vs. FF4a Cid, FF7 Cid, Seed
Team Unoriginal vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Albert Serdio, Alena- !!!/poke knocks out Garnet. Cid OHKOs Simon, Nel statuses out Alex and Monk pounds poor Alena hard. I don't think they can score any more kills at this point, and Albert can be kept alive after Cid snaps his weapon in half.
Team Unoriginal vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (SF2)- Cid OHKOs PC Sarah, Nel handles SF2 Sarah. Cid can pretty much solo this fight once it gets past the first round.

Team Nitori | Rikku, Benjamin, Cecil, Mint
[Floor 3b]
*All ST is MT
Team Nitori vs. Erk and Dorcas- I know they can handle this fight. Looking it upotherwise.
Team Nitori vs. Tidus (Caladbolg) and FFT Time Mage
Team Nitori vs. Luc and Juan
Team Nitori vs. Alma and Pikachu
Team Nitori vs. Dhoulmagus and Zalbag

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Team Snow vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Albert Serdio, Alena- !!!/Alena kills Geno, Red Dragon Anger should OHKO Raja, and Albert is probably going to be able to seriously hurt Nina. Team's too damn locked down here.
Team Snow vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (ShF1)

The form my team fights (it's Albert Simon/Amon, not Messiah) doesn't have !!!, nor does it have initiative. Alena even goes first, but she can't kill Geno by herself.

[Nephrite]

I had originally intended to follow through with the rule about boss forms. However, it seems this has caused some confusion. So, I am going to modify the rule on bosses and simply state that unless otherwise noted, vote on whatever you find is easiest to vote on. My apologies for the confusion and the wishy-washiness.

[Dunefar]

All three pass.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Snow passes because initiative !!! hype makes me bang my head against a wall.

Looks like the other two pass as well, may edit this if I see reason to expect differently.

</lazy dungeon voting>

[dude789]

Unoriginal and Nitori pass, Snow doesn't.

[Clear Tranquil]

Team Unoriginal - Abstain for now. Fourth fight may cause a problem. I'm not sure how I see initiative !!! Also don't remember Albert's earlier form for the life of me so yeah. Nel's offense is relatively poor by floor 5 with the exception of her best damage Whirlwind with passives attached. It just so happens that Mr Serdio nulls her best damage. All of her other damage with the exception of Mirror Slice is quite bad compared to WW hax. She's not getting Mirror Slice until floor 6. On the other hand despite the low damage modifiers Ice Daggers can still freeze so it may be possible to freeze Albert before he goes into dragoon form for status immunity. I don't think the LoD characters have a freeze blocker in human form. Other issues that I can see with this team though is Nel's healing is only ST, it's probably not even L10 yet so isn't as potent as it could be and won't always be full healing, and I don't know if Garnet has Curaga by this point.

Team Nitori - Passes Rikku status whores most of the floor including even Pikachu I think. Can Pika be petrified? Leaving Dhoulmagus as the only real threat to deal with. Add in Mint and Ben's healing and that's not much of a thread either. Rikku can't do much against Dhouly unless she overdrives but hopefully she won't need to. Cecil wails away whilst Mint/Ben heal. Meh the team is looking a little sore on offense at this stage but with that support it's enough for now.

[Random Consonant]

Can Pika be petrified?

All pokemon are status bait unless they can use Safeguard (I think that's what the anti-status move was called, at any rate) and even then they can be caught with their pants down.  Unless they're Poison or Steel type in which case they immune POIZN!  That said!

Team Snow - The team handles the ones I know easily enough... Simon on the other hand... well, first form doesn't seem too bad, while the second form sounds like a headache, so first form it is!  Pass.

Team Unoriginal - Assuming the team's competent enough here.  So, yeah.  Pass.

Team Kappa - This just borders on hilarity.  Pass.
