Team Unoriginal | Orlandu, Nel, Garnet, Nei, FF1 Monk
[Floor 9]
*Garnet has been granted Auto-Haste
*Nei has been granted a Skunk Rune (The no-targetting one)
Team Unoriginal vs. Genevieve and Loki - Oh god this is painful. 
Team Unoriginal vs. PC Timelord (No OD), Belial (No 4D Pocket) and FF5 Time Mage (No Reset) - OH LOOK FRAIL PEOPLE.  Belial can't OHKO and she can't stop Cid or Garnet from getting a turn before she gets a second.  Cid and Garnet then proceed to make things asplode.  TL is fast, but seeing him above 160% average speed is something I have trouble taking seriously.
Team Unoriginal vs. Chaos, Rika, Cristo and Tidus (Caladbolg) - Think the whorish people get handled before they get turns, and that kinda needs to happen.  lol DoS Chaos.
*Full Heal
Team Unoriginal vs. Mewtwo, Aika, Auron and VP1 Brahms - Not sure about this one
Team Unoriginal vs. Myria1 and Fou-Lu (Astral) - Guess it doesn't matter, though.  *sigh* Would've been cool if the team could make it, though. 

Abstain on Team Shale

Team Ultradude passes due to Floor 1

[Bardiche]

Abstain on Unoriginal, other two pass.

[Clear Tranquil]

Team Shale - Passes
Said this before Shale's team isn't overload offense like Uno's but it does have resources. It's floor two and he has oodles of healing in Rand and Mint, speed in Rikku + Tidus, plus Tidus's Haste for boosting overall team speed. I believe Rikku has Fire Fragments to mock Ultros with by this point too ;p (Bomb Fragments rather >.>) She can use those outside of overdrive yes?

Team Unoriginal - Evil status is evil. Let's see. Old completely nerfs Garnet + Nel can't immune Stop unless one sees paralysis as the same thing and allows anti paralysis blockers to block it. Slow 2 makes things tougher anyway. I overlooked Time Mage's ID since I couldn't find what it was or it's hit rates but then I found it so taking that into account now >.> Okay ID is veeery evil for FF9 characters since it's the one status they can't block. Basically the team is going to want to take out Time Mage asap because losing a healer/reviver at this stage could be the thread that unravels the whole team. Not having a healer for the final fights and floors of the dungeon is probably a bad thing ;p Let's say they can do it and take out Time Mage before he starts any evilness. Why not? The offense of this team is beyond insane at this point and I doubt TM can handle a full on assualt from everyone wailing on him. That just leaves Belial and Time Lord. Belial can be pretty scary even without 4D pocket due to distortion soaking up damage for her and her speed but without any evil statuses getting in the way the team should have enough resources to handle her. Garnet's Auto Haste helps a lot there.

Edit - Team roadblocks at PC Time Lord unless he isn't immune to status ;p Assinate takes out the team's healer or Time Mage's ID does. There are two sources of ID on this team, probably can't take care of both users before one goes off. Plus not focusing on Time Mage asap leaves him free to do other nasty things =/ Left alone Time Lord IDs Garnet and his Charm makes SO3 characters cry since they can't immune confusion type attacks.

[Shale]

Yeah. She gets more powerful elemental offense in Overdrive, but the regular ones are common steals by this point.

Neph's full list of Rikku items is here, incidentally: http://www.rpgdl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dungeon_Stuff#Rikku

PC Timelord has access to the usual status SaGa status blockers - he can immune Blind and ID. I think that's it for storebought status blockers. His boss form is even susceptible to quite a few statuses as well, IIRC? Garnet could Silence him and that stops anything he can do?
