Godlike:
17 Orlandu (FFT) vs 6 Sephiroth (FF7) Being faster wins this easily enough I believe
93 False Althena (Lunar:EBC) vs 78 Mewtwo (PKMN) -Barrier/Amnesia/Recover for goodness!


Heavy:
10 Lede (FFT) vs 29 Leopold (DQ8) -Typical my DQ8 boss respect

Light:
20 Tempest (Lunar:SSSC) vs 196 Reed (S3) - Reed blows
14 Cleo (S1) vs 71 Imoen (BGs)-
Edit: Sure I'll just go with Super and say no fire rune based on her being in light, not heavy/high middle.
179 Kinnison (S2) vs 91 Jewel (S4) - Jewel fails

Godlike:

17 Orlandu (FFT) vs 6 Sephiroth (FF7)- Augh.
51 Yunalesca (FFX) vs 72 Johnny (SH3)- BOOOO.
11 Piastol (SoA) vs 64 Malik (WA3)
Heavy:

167 Dycedarg (FFT) vs 48 Vigoro (SoA)- More HP.
107 Zerase (S5) vs 71 Geddoe (S3)- Slaughter sadly. Zerase has killer Mdef and can resist thunder I believe.
10 Lede (FFT) vs 29 Leopold (DQ8)
93 Hect (G3) vs 114 Lang (LoL2)- Resist fire.

Middle:

158 Mog (FF6) vs 14 Margulis (XS)- Acala seal hype. Mog's damage is really wretched.
247 Yangus (DQ8) vs 161 Huxley (VH1)- ID.
17 Haschel (LoD) vs 217 Paula (S4)- Tenative. Don't think LoD could block sleep.

Light:

20 Tempest (Lunar:SSSC) vs 196 Reed (S3)- Isn't Tempest.
8 Taya (SF2) vs 118 Mao (SH3)
14 Cleo (S1) vs 71 Imoen (BGs)- Mep: Explode is MT, Cleo doesn't resist fire. Doesn't matter for me, I don't give her the rune.
179 Kinnison (S2) vs 91 Jewel (S4)- Water Rune>No water rune.

[BaconForTheSoul]

Guess that could make sense... Cleo with Fire Rune is some kinda low heavy I suppose, although an elemental reliant one.  If she's in light guess I'll treat her by her light interp, average across the board with 4HKO damage.

[Dhyerwolf]

Godlike

11 Piastol (SoA) vs 64 Malik (WA3)- Piastol
93 False Althena (Lunar:EBC) vs 78 Mewtwo (PKMN)- FA

Heavy:
167 Dycedarg (FFT) vs 48 Vigoro (SoA)- Vigoro. Yeah, more HP works.
107 Zerase (S5) vs 71 Geddoe (S3)- Zerase
10 Lede (FFT) vs 29 Leopold (DQ8)- Leopold
93 Hect (G3) vs 114 Lang (LoL2)- Hect? Armaggedeon, Freeze, Try to Kill? Might work. Unsure at the moment, so no vote.

Middle:
158 Mog (FF6) vs 14 Margulis (XS)- Mog
247 Yangus (DQ8) vs 161 Huxley (VH1)- Yangus
32 Sceptile (PKMN) vs 79 Yuki (G3)- Sceptile
17 Haschel (LoD) vs 217 Paula (S4)- Haschel. Turn 5 ID weapon. Paula needs 5 hits to kill him, and he's faster. He will end up getting those 5 turns.

Light:
20 Tempest (Lunar:SSSC) vs 196 Reed (S3)- Reed. Stun hits turn 3, and they both 4HKO each other. Reed gets in the 4th hit first.
8 Taya (SF2) vs 118 Mao (SH3)- Taya
14 Cleo (S1) vs 71 Imoen (BGs)- Cleo. MT Magic, Faster, 2HKOs.
179 Kinnison (S2) vs 91 Jewel (S4)- Jewel

[superaielman]

Am I missing something about Mog's fight? His average damage with dances is pretty wretched. I.. really don't think he can pull the fight out in time before Margulis statuses him out.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Godlike:

17 Orlandu (FFT) vs 6 Sephiroth (FF7): Old hat.
51 Yunalesca (FFX) vs 72 Johnny (SH3): Zombie/heal owns him.
11 Piastol (SoA) vs 64 Malik (WA3)
93 False Althena (Lunar:EBC) vs 78 Mewtwo (PKMN): How times change. Faster, 2HKOs... I think.

Heavy:

107 Zerase (S5) vs 71 Geddoe (S3): You don't beat Zerase with magic, and she outspeeds the physical.
10 Lede (FFT) vs 29 Leopold (DQ8): Durability.
93 Hect (G3) vs 114 Lang (LoL2): Lang's pretty tanky and can immune Fire (right?). I don't see Hect winning under those circumstances. Her backup non-Armageddon damage is... Crimson Shock? Ouch.

Middle:

158 Mog (FF6) vs 14 Margulis (XS): I dunno. He might actually get of Seal of Immobility, but I'm kneejerking Mog. Margulis' durability has problems compared to Orgulla (equalish HP, way lower average damage + no pincer attack) or Patriarch (waaay more unscaled HP). Mog's damage is... bad, but not that bad? I dunno.
247 Yangus (DQ8) vs 161 Huxley (VH1): Yeah.
32 Sceptile (PKMN) vs 79 Yuki (G3): Close, but I think so.
17 Haschel (LoD) vs 217 Paula (S4)

Light:

20 Tempest (Lunar:SSSC) vs 196 Reed (S3): No.
8 Taya (SF2) vs 118 Mao (SH3): Faster, 2HKOs.
179 Kinnison (S2) vs 91 Jewel (S4): Healing.

[Ultradude]

To be fair, I've never seen Margulis charge above probably 25-30% hp, which should, I think, give Mog enough time to get through the rest of his hp.

[superaielman]

Closes tomorrow. I need more votes.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Godlike:

Cidolfas Orlandu (FFT) vs Sephiroth (FF7) - Yeah, yeah.
False Althena (Lunar:EBC) vs Mewtwo (PKMN) - EBO Althena lacks the sheer damage here, and I generally mock magical status against Mewtwo.

Light:

Tempest (Lunar:SSSC) vs Reed (S3) - die.

14 Cleo (S1) vs 71 Imoen (BGs)-
Edit: Sure I'll just go with Super and say no fire rune based on her being in light, not heavy/high middle.

WHAT.

If you think she should have the Fire Rune, you should vote on that form! Many people believe she should be in Heavy or high Middle, but she will never get there with that type of attitude! Discoveries on characters and pushing your believes is the key to the DL, and it gets characters to their rightful divisions. Resigning to what was believed 30 seasons ago is just defeatist.

Godlike:

17 Orlandu (FFT) vs 6 Sephiroth (FF7) - Seph.
11 Piastol (SoA) vs 64 Malik (WA3) - Piastol.

[SnowFire]

Godlike:

17 Orlandu (FFT) vs 6 Sephiroth (FF7) - Orlandu can equip enough status blockers to hopefully get lucky on the Supernova?  And while I do have enough Sephy HP respect to say that he gets it off, it's not really an assured win...
51 Yunalesca (FFX) vs 72 Johnny (SH3)
11 Piastol (SoA) vs 64 Malik (WA3)

Heavy:

167 Dycedarg (FFT) vs 48 Vigoro (SoA)
107 Zerase (S5) vs 71 Geddoe (S3)
10 Lede (FFT) vs 29 Leopold (DQ8)

Middle:

158 Mog (FF6) vs 14 Margulis (XS) - ?? to votes otherwise.  Unless I'm totally off my rocker, Margulis has healing, and Mog has bad damage.  I seem to recall my XS2 fight with Margulis taking a good 25 minutes (thanks to the handy battle timer thing) and him doing a big heal twice.  This will force Mog to dance, and eventually Mog will get unlucky and not randomly heal several times in a row.  Plus, I think he has a very slow charge time instant win move?  Doesn't normally matter, but works here?

Light:

20 Tempest (Lunar:SSSC) vs 196 Reed (S3) - I guess?  Tempest wasn't THAT horrible, and Reed was somewhat inaccurate?
14 Cleo (S1) vs 71 Imoen (BGs) - Sure, no rune.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Godlike:

17 Orlandu (FFT) vs 6 Sephiroth (FF7) - Orlandu can equip enough status blockers to hopefully get lucky on the Supernova?  And while I do have enough Sephy HP respect to say that he gets it off, it's not really an assured win...

No, he can't. Orlandu can block at most two statuses at a time, Seph can inflict far more than that in a single go, and way too many of them get Orlandu dead in no time flat.

[Dark Holy Elf]

In particular, Orlandu absolutely must block Frog, or Pale Horse' 100% status there gets him. You also have to extend the Frog blocker to cover Mini (shaky), or that murders him too. This leaves him open to both Confuse and Slow from Super Nova, both of which are instantly fatal (Slow cuts his speed to one third of its original value, the way Excalibur works).

[Ultradude]

Stat topic also says that Seph has Paralysis and something on his physical, with the most recent tests.

Also, changing vote to Margulis. I guess the healing probably buys him the extra time needed to win on damage? He does get a lot of attacks, and Mog doesn't actually null anything Margulis does sooo.

Still not hyping Acala Seal though >_>
