[Jo'ou Ranbu]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blonde Swordsman Main Characters with Bandanas and Names that Start with C -v- Lady's Entourage - None of the opposers inarguably goes before Lady. Claude has a shaky case and Chaz has a solid argument (which I honestly buy) for it, but even Claude+Chaz fall short of killing Lady, which means that they explode hilariously.
Hell's Angels -v- Team "Convicted on Molestation Charges" - Team with two high Godlikes against a bunch of Heavy losers (and a Middle loser, but semantics).
Team LolSpoiled -v- Team XTREEM Speed - Hay guyz Belial quintaturns everything off the bat with initiative Hastega. The lolspoiled people just explode.
Team God Kitties -v- Team "Unique Status Whores" - Rika IDs someone/Disrupts, Mewtwo drops death on Reno (this is pretty guaranteed particularly if Rika Disrupts) and things get ugly from there. Noa gets to charm someone, but that ain't enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Claude Kenni -v- Lady - I foresee sweeping.
Chaz Ashley -v- Killer - Booms.
Cress Albane -v- Edna Capone - Cress doesn't OHKO. This means Edna laps and drops a bridge on him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Malik Benedict -v- Belial - Booms.
Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde -v- Tidus - Tidus tries, but Ceci gets one of them turns.
Worker 8 -v- Jude Maverick - The speed split makes this very ugly. Jude doubles off the bat due to RA, doesn't trigger counters with his physical and Worker 8 evade+speed means Assault Buster gets mean.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rika -v- Millenia - lol elim.
Mewtwo -v- Reno - Honestly? I'm just hyping a OHKO here, although Reno wins if he gets a turn.
KOS-MOS -v- Noa - Tough Love.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

[SnowFire]

Blonde Swordsman Main Characters with Bandanas and Names that Start with C -v- Lady's Entourage Heavy vs. High Godlike.
Hell's Angels -v- Team "Convicted on Molestation Charges" - Well, Vigoro & Zidane's status game is kinda shut down here.  Vigoro had that random fire move for MT damage!  Yeah, not saving them.
Team LolSpoiled -v- Team XTREEM Speed - Hastega -> Belial Agony Effects Malik thrice -> Jude Assault Busters Cecilia for absurd damage.  Worker 8 probably gets a single turn?  And he can't hurt Belial anyway.
Team God Kitties -v- Team "Unique Status Whores" - I'll let others figure this one out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Claude Kenni -v- Lady
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Piastol -v- Albedo - Scythe is slashing so Tempest Dance probably deals with XS2 Albedo.
Sephiroth -v- Vigoro - Uh...  dunno how much I respect Skies boss HP.  Taken literally Vigoro might win here, he's got good damage and my Shadow Flare respect is pretty low.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Malik Benedict -v- Belial
Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde -v- Tidus - Can Tidus just immediately Quick Hit Cecilia out?  Doubt it, but.
Worker 8 -v- Jude Maverick - Immunes ID and wins the slugfest?!  Jude winning slugfests is strange but Worker's slow and can't counter Jude's gun.

[Yoshiken]

One match! Yay!

Mewtwo -v- Reno - Reno's aiming for a Turn 1 Pyramid here, from the looks of things. Hm. This depends on how I see their speed, basically, and I see Mewtwo as being... hm. Faster but unable to double. Yeah. So, Safeguard blocks status - Pyramid isn't ID, just a status with the same effect, so Safeguard tackles that problem and Mewtwo sweeps from there. None of the other Reno forms even remotely threaten Mewtwo.

[superaielman]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blonde Swordsman Main Characters with Bandanas and Names that Start with C -v- Lady's Entourage- Claude's team can make pretty short work of Killer, but um yeah Lady.
Hell's Angels -v- Team "Convicted on Molestation Charges"- Well then.
Team LolSpoiled -v- Team XTREEM Speed- Hasted Belial. CHeck please.
Team God Kitties -v- Team "Unique Status Whores"- STrongly leaning towards Rika's team, but need to think.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Claude Kenni -v- Lady
Chaz Ashley -v- Killer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Piastol -v- Albedo- This is about as close as it looks like on paper.
Sephiroth -v- Vigoro- Vigoro's got iffy status defense on top of his other wonderful issues (SPEED).
Lamington -v- Zidane- Loses to Lamington magic spam. It's Zidane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Malik Benedict -v- Belial- Does Belial have magic? Surely.  Right.
Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde -v- Tidus- Parasol means Tidus can't Slowaga Cecilia and can't really blitz.
Worker 8 -v- Jude Maverick- Jude's got good durability and Worker has literally no evasion. Well then.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rika -v- Millenia
Mewtwo -v- Reno- Assuming I'm allowing Reno 1 for this tournament, he wins.
KOS-MOS -v- Noa- Tough love.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mewtwo -v- Reno

[Random Consonant]

Team God Kitties -v- Team "Unique Status Whores" - I can actually vote on a team match this time?!  Anyways, this is ugly for the status whores.

Rika -v- Millenia - Ha.
Mewtwo -v- Reno - Safeguard preventing Pyramid or an OHKO, either one works for me.
KOS-MOS -v- Noa - It's been said.

[Yoshiken]

Mewtwo -v- Reno- Assuming I'm allowing Reno 1 for this tournament, he wins.

I'm curious as to how. I allow Reno 1, but Safeguard stops status working and Mewtwo can almost undoubtedly kill him before being killed - Reno has below average PDur and MDur in that form.
The only reasoning I can consider is seeing Mewtwo as average speed due to a turn-based system, but Mewtwo should, at the very least, attack before Reno does, considering his speed.

Well, if you see Pyramid as an awkward form of ID then Safeguard doesn't cover it, and it's unblockable in-game so he could be holding that against Mewtwo. I don't, but I could see it as a legitimate view.

This is assuming he's voting on a form past RBY, which I think he is.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde -v- Tidus - Can Tidus just immediately Quick Hit Cecilia out?  Doubt it, but.
Worker 8 -v- Jude Maverick - Immunes ID and wins the slugfest?!  Jude winning slugfests is strange but Worker's slow and can't counter Jude's gun.

Jude winning slugfests isn't strange when he has RA+Assault Buster off -that- speed. Even with higher averages to factor for the damage boost (which I personally disagree with outside of taking AB's updated damage into averages, but mileage), that kind of speed gaming is deceptively brutal slugfesting. It's the same reason why Belial has brilliant offense even though she barely 2HKOs, only less extreme.

Also, while this probably averages far less damage, doesn't Jude have a machine-weakness attack? <_<

[Ultradude]

Hell's Angels -v- Team "Convicted on Molestation Charges" - XS2 Albedo can take a good beating, but Vigoro doesn't get a turn and Zidane's turns don't matter.
Team LolSpoiled -v- Team XTREEM Speed
Team God Kitties -v- Team "Unique Status Whores"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Piastol -v- Albedo - XS2 holds out, but probably doesn't rack up enough damage in the turns he gets.
Sephiroth -v- Vigoro - Not bad if it weren't for the speed difference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Malik Benedict -v- Belial
Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde -v- Tidus
Worker 8 -v- Jude Maverick
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mewtwo -v- Reno

[OblivionKnight]

One quick question:

OK - Team "Convicted On Molestation Charges" - Heavy
- Albedo (XS - 4.67/Godlike)
- Vigoro (SoA - 4.29/Heavy)
- Zidane (FF9 - 3.86/Heavy)

Are they in the right division?  Everyone else is noted as Godlike.  Or did I miss something?

Not voting on their match yet.


Blonde Swordsman Main Characters with Bandanas and Names that Start with C -v- Lady's Entourage - Lady's Entourage.  Me and bosses, I guess.
Team LolSpoiled -v- Team XTREEM Speed - XTREEM.  It's too XTREME for the other team.
Team God Kitties -v- Team "Unique Status Whores" - Status Whores. 

[Yoshiken]

Ack, my bad. Yeah, they're in the right division. That was one of the teams that had to be reshuffled to sort out the numbers for each division.

Blonde Swordsman Main Characters with Bandanas and Names that Start with C -v- Lady's Entourage - Just outmatched, really.
Hell's Angels -v- Team "Convicted on Molestation Charges"

Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde -v- Tidus - Cece gets her game going and Tidus' turnhax don't matter.
