[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Team Snow vs. Sasarai, Tengaar, Hellion and Golem - This fight is brutal. Ginny immunes Earth and has unlimited revival, though, and Golem's self-destruct eats evade - i.e. she actually could solo this fight if worst came to worst. She probably needs to, anyhow.
Team Snow vs. Barbariccia, Luc, Pikachu and Flik - Another painful match. Luc needs to die first thing, which is what Geno is for. Nina resists Lightning and immunes Val's tricks, though, which is the big boon here.
Team Snow vs. Groudon, Alex, Camus and Lorenta - Ginny immunes Fire. Alex eats ID, and stalling measures continue.
*Full Heal
Team Snow vs. Kyogre, PC Sonya, Frog and Mao - Ginny immunes Water, too. Kyogre eats ID continuously, and Raja will probably use Seals to keep Sonya and Mao from being threats, since Frog's healing doesn't heal status.
Team Snow vs. Yuri2, Alice, DK Cecil, Rosa and Raja - Here, it all devolves to Raja getting a turn. Yuri2/Alice can MT, the enemy Raja could silence my party as well, and DK Cecil can off any non-Nina4 character in a go. Considering how many factors have to go -my way- for this to be feasible... no, don't see it happening. If I went for the magic-twinked Hope Shard setup, a blitz could even be possible, but then I would probably die to one of the earlier fights.

Team Unoriginal | Orlandu, Nel, Garnet, Nei, FF1 Monk
[Floor 7b]
Team Unoriginal vs. Sasarai, Tengaar, Hellion and Golem
Team Unoriginal vs. Barbariccia, Luc, Pikachu and Flik
Team Unoriginal vs. Groudon, Alex, Camus and Lorenta
*Full Heal
Team Unoriginal vs. Kyogre, PC Sonya, Frog and Mao
Team Unoriginal vs. Yuri2, Alice, DK Cecil, Rosa and Raja - On the other hand, this team feels better equipped to deal with this floor. The more lenient elemental walling on FF9 should get the team through, and SO3 Elemental Leathers+immunity accessories won't hurt.

Team Nitori | Rikku, Benjamin, Cecil, Mint
[Floor 5a]
Team Nitori vs. Guy(L2) and Guy(FE7), Guy (ToTA)
Team Nitori vs. Kyra, Kary and Karin
Team Nitori vs. FF4a Cid, FF7 Cid, Seed
Team Nitori vs. Albert Simon, Alex, Alice, Alena
Team Nitori vs. Sara (BoF1), Serra, PC Sarah (S3), Sarah (ShF1) - Uh, yeah. Life ID makes things kinda cruel here. Initiative !!! hype can go burn.
   

[Nephrite]

Just as a note, in case it comes up, there is no equipment swapping during floors.

[dude789]

Nobody makes it this week. Snow's breakdown works for his team. Unoriginal needs Garnet alive and someone's going to take her out. Nitori falls becuase !!! and Alena take out Benjamin and they don't have enough offense to beat the floor without him.

[Random Consonant]

Team Nitori - Kneejerking that another floor eats FFMQ Life cheese.  Pass.

Other two fail near as I can tell.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Snow may not have faith in his team, but I allow Virginia some limited item use with Mystic. 3 of each of the common items, specifically (healing, spell gems). This makes silence less of problem in his last fight. Virginia might be worth 4.5 points.... >.>;;

Uno... I'm really not sure, my instinct is no, but he has a decent argument. Abstain.

Nitori passes on ID cheese! How long with this spell carry you?

-Djinn

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Djinn: Mystic eats it to Silence, too.

[superaielman]

Team Unoriginal | Orlandu, Nel, Garnet, Nei, FF1 Monk
[Floor 7b]
Team Unoriginal vs. Sasarai, Tengaar, Hellion and Golem- Ice Daggers gets Golem, the rest clean up nicely.
Team Unoriginal vs. Barbariccia, Luc, Pikachu and Flik- Orlandu OHKOs Val. (..................)  Garnet may get killed here but it doesn't matter, this team has way too much offense to get walled.
Team Unoriginal vs. Groudon, Alex, Camus and Lorenta- Too much firepower. Cid probably wants  a Flame Shield here, just so he can solo the fight.
*Full Heal
Team Unoriginal vs. Kyogre, PC Sonya, Frog and Mao- Song of Madness Orlandu OHKOs Kyogre. Frog will not live to see a turn to play revival fuckery games.
Team Unoriginal vs. Yuri2, Alice, DK Cecil, Rosa and Raja- Orlandu kills Yuri, Monk splatters Alice, Nel gets Rosa. Enemy team can't recover.

Unoriginal needs Garnet alive and someone's going to take her out.

Garnet gets revived by the fourth fight at worst. Orlandu should be able to handle the last fight before the healing at worst, and he'll have support.

Edit: Snow fails (will look at this later), Nitori fails.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Orlandu OHKOs Val. (..................)

Seconding the lengthy ellipsis. I can't see any interp of Val that sees her as PCHP. Unless you've started holding her to the fight in the Giant. Am I missing something?

I suspect it doesn't matter for the ultimate result of the fight, but this comment jumped out at me.

[superaielman]

Song of Madness, Elfboy.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Oh, yes. That explains why Garnet might die anyway, since it's turn 2.

[Clear Tranquil]

I'm probably being way too generous here and I don't think people will be as generous to Maria/Peppita even this far but Team Unoriginal passes

I allow Nel Divine Wrath on F7 due to early clear game status in game. I also allow convert damage to MP/Preserve HP because that's what makes the girls and Adray more durable in game over DEF and thus is what they should be using over DEF boosting set ups. So Nel now has quality non wind elemental based damage and is really quite hard to kill. She also still has evil status for Yuri2/Alice/Rosa/Cecil/pokemon and as super noted Ice Daggers already makes Golem cry anyway due to hitting weakness. With Nei's Song of Madness Divine Wrath becomes utterly brutal. Add in Orlandu + Monk with SoM on top of it and this team explodes the dungeon with offense overload ;p

Team Nitori-passes =D ID hax. Also doesn't Rikku have some sort of regen type item to screw up !!! hype? >_> What am I thinking about here <_<

[VySaika]

Team Snow dies here. Good run, good team, but he just can't handle this floor.

Team Uno...undecided on this.

Team Nitori passes. Initiative !!! hype fails as always, and Ben steamrolls with Life.

[Bardiche]

Snow fails, rest pass. Yeah, going with Snow's breakdown here.
