Trinity Limit - Opening Act (Part 1) - Heavy

[Yoshiken]

Okay, explanation goes here. Explanation being "Holy crap, I should have planned that out." Basically, I didn't consider how long this was gonna take to complete the way I was doing it. After having it pointed out to me (thanks, Snowfire!), I decided that I'd run the rest of the first round this week, and then follow it through like a standard DL season. So yeah. Enjoy the rest of the first half of Round 1.

Team "Did I Really Deserve it?" -v- Priests - The only real threat in OK's team is Ash, and Cristo IDs him before he gets a turn. Then, the survivors' best hope is spamming ID, but the opposition has gallons of revival. Not happening, especially when Sasarai+Billy kill Joachim dead with their turns.
Gunslingers -v- Blue Haired Goddesses - Lenneth either IDs or OHKOs Billy before he gets a turn. The rest of the team is more or less screwed.
Successful Playboys -v- Team Flames of Desire - Wow, both these teams suck.
Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine - uh no idea. Good fight.
---------------------------------------------------------
Ash Lambert -v- Billy Lee Black - 2HKOs forever, counters.

Billy Lee Black -v- Lenneth Valkyrie - Yeah.
Jr. -v- Anastasia Valeria - It just hit me that Jr. is faster, Silence is perfect hit rate and Anastasia HORRIBLY SUCKS WITHOUT HER SKILLS. Christ.

Kyle -v- Lucied - Lucied's damage is horrible and he can't punish Kyle's buffing well.

Celes Chere -v- Hilda Valentine - Faster.
Cait Sith -v- Keith Valentine - Immunes ID, froggies.

[Rozalia]

Team "Did I Really Deserve it?" -v- Priests
Gunslingers -v- Blue Haired Goddesses - Too much power on BHG's team. Gunslingers go splat.
Successful Playboys -v- Team Flames of Desire - Boomerang stitchs Zelos (Taking himself and Zelos out of the fight) while Anastasia and Lucied kill Gilder. That leaves just Kyle who isn't going to take on two fighters by himself.
Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine - Status.

---------------------------------------------------------
Ash Lambert -v- Billy Lee Black
Menardi -v- Sasarai
Joachim Valentine -v- Cristo
---------------------------------------------------------
Billy Lee Black -v- Lenneth Valkyrie
---------------------------------------------------------
Kyle -v- Lucied - I remember Lucied's damage being pretty good at the dead shrine place (Maybe I'm misremembering). Keeps pressure on Kyle till kill.
---------------------------------------------------------
Cait Sith -v- Keith Valentine - Status
Sialeeds Falenas -v- Joachim Valentine - Sialeeds might this if her sleep move had a better hit rate (isn't it 40%).
---------------------------------------------------------

[superaielman]

Team "Did I Really Deserve it?" -v- Priests- Beat gets Ash. Team is otherwise very managable.
Gunslingers -v- Blue Haired Goddesses- Ana with FP. Things die.
Successful Playboys -v- Team Flames of Desire- Pass.
Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine- Hilda gets statused, and that is fight.


Ash Lambert -v- Billy Lee Black- Going after Ash with physicals is a bad idea.
Menardi -v- Sasarai- no no no no no *sob*
Joachim Valentine -v- Cristo- ID. He has literally all day to hit Cristo with it.
---------------------------------------------------------
Billy Lee Black -v- Lenneth Valkyrie
Jr. -v- Anastasia Valeria
Gilder -v- Luna- Builds up to something really nasty.
---------------------------------------------------------
Celes Chere -v- Hilda Valentine
Cait Sith -v- Keith Valentine
Sialeeds Falenas -v- Joachim Valentine- *tink!*

Team fights in a sec.

[SnowFire]

Gunslingers -v- Blue Haired Goddesses - XS3 Jr. can hose Lenneth's physical?  But I think Anastasia's faster than Billy anyway, so combined Lenneth / Anastasia beatdown still takes out Billy, and then it's all over.

Successful Playboys -v- Team Flames of Desire - Okay, so Boomerang Stitches Zelos.  Not sure Gilder can be taken out turn 1, though with Anastasia's Impulse starting kind of meh, meaning he Focuses into Gunslinger while Kyle powers up?  Gunslinger should tentatively OHKO Boomerang.  Anastasia finishes off Gilder.  Though how fast is Anastasia?  The stat topic doesn't seem to have an at-the-time scaling...  Gilder is mildly above average speed.  Anyway, assuming Gilder is faster, Kyle powers up again, and then unloads a double-buffed Power Slash which might OHKO Anastasia?  Seems like there's a few assumptions that need to be made for the Playboys to win.  Will wait and see what others have to say.

Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine - Curvy Hilda's slower but has the ID so huh.  Lots of status flying around this fight, tentatively think that the Traitors are winning the speed breaks.

Joachim Valentine -v- Cristo
---------------------------------------------------------
Billy Lee Black -v- Lenneth Valkyrie
Jr. -v- Anastasia Valeria - Misty.
Gilder -v- Luna - Airship probably OHKOs through Cascade Song.
---------------------------------------------------------
Zelos Wilder -v- Anastasia Valeria - Depending on Anastasia's speed.
Gilder -v- Boomerang
Kyle -v- Lucied
---------------------------------------------------------
Celes Chere -v- Hilda Valentine - Curvy is too slow.
Cait Sith -v- Keith Valentine
Sialeeds Falenas -v- Joachim Valentine - Blocks sleep anyway.
---------------------------------------------------------

[ThePiggyman]

Team "Did I Really Deserve it?" -v- Priests - No vote, but I'm pretty sure Sas and Billy can mop up the IDers.
Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine - Wow, those traitors whore with their status. ;p

[DjinnAndTonic]

Team "Did I Really Deserve it?" -v- Priests - Don't think the ID is fast enough to stop this team.
Gunslingers -v- Blue Haired Goddesses - Lenneth pretty much decides this match.
Successful Playboys -v- Team Flames of Desire - Yeah, neither of these teams is very strong compared to the rest of this week's Heavy. And I was hoping this team would be matched against status whores and Gilder would destroy their evil planz! Oh well.
Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine - Status Hilda and the rest is managable. Successful Playboys would have beaten this team, though... *grumble*

[Clear Tranquil]

Team Traitors -v- Be My Valentine- Too much status

Celes Chere -v- Hilda Valentine - ^^
Cait Sith -v- Keith Valentine - All FF7 stat blockers do grow on trees!
Sialeeds Falenas -v- Joachim Valentine-GREAT QUESTION SMASH PUNY MIDDLE!

[Rozalia]

FF7 ID Blocker didn't grow on trees?

Safety bit is the ID blocker I think and you can find it in shops mid game.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

And all FF7 statusblockers grow on trees anyway. It's one of the best games in the DL for single status spoiling.

[Clear Tranquil]

Vote fixxed.

Arr I knew they grew on trees in general but all I could remember of the Safety Bit was Great Glacier/snow fields >_>

Thanks peeps.

Healing forever.
Sure.
Sure.
Celes is faster than Hilda and has Berserk.  That's something Hilda can't stop.  The rest is a cakewalk.

Minor, irrelevant comment.  I'm not even sure of this!  Playboys vs. Traitors revolves around Zelos & Celes.  If Zelos dies, the Playboys nearly auto-lose due to Vanish (Gilder has spells, but only if he stops the Aura, which is likely suicide).  Problem is, Celes nulls lightning and wind, and resists all of Zelos's other elements?  And his straight-physical damage is far less impressive, AND Celes has good Defense and MBlock.  Assuming Zelos is seen as faster than Sialeeds...  Cait Sith is not human, and attacking him or Celes leads to Sialeeds healing them and then badness.  So...  Zelos kill Sialeeds.  Cait Sith gives a full-HP Shout smashing to Zelos, and he also eats Celes' Flare.  Kyle can do a group attack, or wimpily Power Slash, or Power Up, not real relevant.  But Zelos's follow up still doesn't kill Celes, so he bites it, and then it's over.  And if you think it would...  Celes just casts Safe the first round while Cait attacks.  The threat of Flare + CS attack is is probably still enough to force Zelos to heal or die, and if he heals Kyle is really not enough of a threat here to save the day.

Something of a late warning due to me waking up late. This ends in about 9 hours. Get your votes in now! ^_^

And please post if you edit previous votes from now~

[Rozalia]

Ah yes I forgot to mention. The team that I entered shouldn't have "Team" in their name. Nothing important but just thought I'd mention it thanks.
