***Team "Don't Ask Don't Tell" -v-
Team CT Bait-Peppita gets at least two turns to do horrible things to the opposing team while they are having fun crushing Eiko + Yulie. Yay for MT. Someone gets killed by Raven but the other mage has some leeway before Kanji/Lavitz get to go and I guess it's probably just better to go for broke and compound on Pep's L10 Power Dance > FF assault w/th Fenrir or earth elemental material (if possible) to take out Lavitz turn 1 before he even gets a turn. How is Kanji's MDur? If he isn't done, Raven has to use his turn to take out the remaining mage and I see Peppita countering Kanji, if not he probably doesn't OHKO her and she gets another turn to use another PD > FF chain. This probably finishes him off due to suffering through one already and Fenrir/we from Eiko/Yulie. Then it's Peppita solo vs Raven and I've already throughly defended my stance on that! >_> Edit: Having played P4/used Kanji-kun quite a fair bit now yeah I can say with certainty Peppita counters his base physical and physical techs no problem like she can counter battle skills in SO3 =-) She can't counter his magic but yeah.
Team "Votesplit!" -v-
Team 01001001 01110010 01101111 01101110 - Leaning for the bots but can they all block Lezard's powerful name or w/e? If not that could lead to trouble. I don't remember if Aegis could block ID but I think the others on Lezard's team might have status as well =/
Edit: Team bots now definitely.
***Melbu Frahma -v-
Aigis- I think Melbu has a thunder attack magic! Don't care though as I hold him to his AI pattern. Aegis. Defence buffs. Offense buffs. Melbu damage. Full healing. Yeah I think Aegis can take this.

Lavitz Slambert -v-
Yulie Ahtreide- Protect/Quicken. FP building. Material abuse. Lavitz. Magic damage. Ouch. Pain.
Raven vs
Peppita - Edit: Definite win for Peppita now given Ultradude's + NEB's input. Statuses him out. I'm quite sure her healing lasts long enough for her to get a status out, especially given his terrible susceptibility to status and his damage decreasing from range. From what I gather Raven is short range melee with melee weapons (sword!) Peppita's counters easily deal with short range melee physicals (if I'm missing something just say) She takes no damage due to counter invincibility frames and perhaps causes teh evil SO3 chaos on Raven in the process. If she can confuse Raven then she gets the leeway to play around at will. < Edit 2: Yes I'm sticking to what I said here, see later in the thread for reasoning on the legality of Peppita's counters. Even throwing her counters out Raven is only hitting near OHKO on her, he's not going first and actually killing her and once she gets a turn she wins, due to how good Panic Dance actually is. Basically Peppita only loses if you ignore/throw out her stuff and why would you do that? That's mean, meaan ;_;

Lavitz speed. Plus she is ranged with FD. I take SO3 status literally i.e if you're very susceptible to it then it hits and Lavitz doesn't have a SA resist stat so. There should be no problems scoring a freeze in a full chain especially with Berserk. Say Lavitz gets a a turn, he's also a short range meleer so I think Peppita can counter and knock him out of his addition. He probably doesn't want to attack her. Neither does Raven as far as I know.
Or alternatively Eiko can Mini Lavitz, I think even she gets a turn here. Peppita might want to try for a MT confuse on Raven/Kanji in that case if possible with Panic Dance chains.
Granted if my team does manage to take Lavitz out and Peppita's counters prevent Raven from really bothering her, it all depends on whether or not Eiko gets a turn to revive Yulie. Are Kanji/Raven fast enough to gang up and take out Eiko? If both my revivers go down I may very well be snookered, even if Peppita can counter Raven *checks to see if Kanji's a Heavy* Edit: Elven Cloak, iirc SO3 sees Thunder and Wind as the same thing, wind immunity/absorb gets both. Counters the physical. Yes I may very well be taking liberties here ;)
That said I'm sure Eiko probably has Thunder protection lying around somewhere (it is FF9 after all!) and I forgot Raven already had his turn to take out Yulie. If Eiko can just get Yulie back on her feet with Full Life and Lavitz gets statused out then I think my team has a fighting chance. Chances are Lavitz *is* getting statused sooner or later, he doesn't have the SP moves for extended Dragoon form.
