FIT Season 54, Heavy Quarterfinals

[Sir Donald 3.2]

People like Ike and hate Zeon, right?

Too bad they tied...

	Loss Nina: 0 Ike: 3	Tie Nina: 2 Zeon: 2	KO Nina: 4 Culgan: 0	KO Nina: 4 Cristo: 0
TKO Ike: 3 Nina: 0		Tie Ike: 1 Zeon: 1	TKO Ike: 2 Culgan: 0	Loss Ike: 0 Cristo: 2
Tie Zeon: 2 Nina: 2	Tie Zeon: 1 Ike: 1		TKO Zeon: 3 Culgan: 1	TKO Zeon: 3 Cristo: 1
Loss Culgan: 0 Nina: 4	Loss Culgan: 0 Ike: 2	Loss Culgan: 1 Zeon: 3		Loss Culgan: 0 Cristo: 4
Loss Cristo: 0 Nina: 4	TKO Cristo: 2 Ike: 0	Loss Cristo: 1 Zeon: 3	KO Cristo: 4 Culgan: 0

Especially too bad for Nina... who lost to Ike Head-to-Head

Name   Win   Tie   Loss   Avg.   Nom   DLR   KO
Zeon   2   2   0   0.750   6   4.31   2

Culgan   0   0   4   0.000   7   3.84   0

As for Pool #3, General Debonair tossed his foes "like stuffed animals" (Still on my Punch-Out binge...)

	Loss Marsilio: 0 Debonair: 5	Loss Marsilio: 0 Yosuke: 4	Loss Marsilio: 0 Belcoot: 4
KO Debonair: 5 Marsilio: 0		KO Debonair: 4 Yosuke: 0	KO Debonair: 4 Belcoot: 0
KO Yosuke: 4 Marsilio: 0	Loss Yosuke: 0 Debonair: 4		Loss Yosuke: 0 Belcoot: 4
KO Belcoot: 4 Marsilio: 0	Loss Belcoot: 0 Debonair: 4	KO Belcoot: 4 Yosuke: 0

Name   Win   Tie   Loss   Avg.   Nom   DLR   KO
Debonair   3   0   0   1.000   12   4.10   3
Belcoot   2   0   1   0.667   6   3.97   2
Yosuke Hanamura   1   0   2   0.333   8   3.87   1
Marsilio   0   0   3   0.000   12   4.30   0


And, as for the Wild Card, it was quite close for spot 8.  Head-to-Head solved half of the problem... the other half fell to a single nomination.  Then again, who knows how things would've gone if Zeon had finished a job or two...

Name   Win   Tie   Loss   Avg.   Nom   DLR   KO   Pool
Zelos Wilder   3   0   1   0.750   7   4.24   3   1
Belcoot   2   0   1   0.667   6   3.97   2   3
Ike   2   1   1   0.625   8   4.14   2   2
Nina Wyndia   2   1   1   0.625   19   4.02   2   2
Cloud Strife   2   0   2   0.500   8   3.95   2   1
Cristo   2   0   2   0.500   7   3.72   2   2
Alys Brangwin   2   0   2   0.500   8   3.74   1   1

Finally, since the defending champ didn't have a perfect record and Debonair did, he gets the #1 seed.  Which means he's up against a member of Avalanche.  Go figure.  And remember, we swap around to avoid Round 1 Rematches.

Short Form:
Debonair vs Cloud
Zelos vs Ike
Lyon vs Nina 4
Zeon vs Belcoot

Voting ends Wednesday Night... when I get back from Class

[Dark Holy Elf]

Lyon vs Nina 4: Nina can only mount an offence on doubleturns, and there's a chance Lyon just goes apeshit with physicals before she can win. And... she can null wind. Yeah, that gives Lyon the extra she needs here, I think. Just takes Nina too long to physical her to death.
Zeon vs Belcoot: Go go S5? Belcoot isn't one-rounded even with higher Zeon respect than I have, and he should certainly 2HKO at worst.

[superaielman]

Short Form:
Debonair vs Cloud- Don't think Cross slash is enough.
Lyon vs Nina 4
Zeon vs Belcoot

[Pyro]

Debonair vs Cloud: Limit, kill.
Zelos vs Ike: Both deal double damage. Ike has those counter things, and is a tank. Yeah.
Lyon vs Nina 4: Well if the elf is voting against Nina4 then I probably am too.
Zeon vs Belcoot: Vwhatever works.

[Yoshiken]

Zelos vs Ike - Kneejerk. I could easily be persuaded on this one, it's damn close.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Kaus Debonair vs Cloud - super is likely right. Kaus can't chip Cloud out of the L1, but he can avoid the L3-4, and Stop running off low HP Cloud's physical against Debonair physical durability just doesn't work. The magic is awful damage and Debonair is good at taking elemental damage to boot, so odds are that, if Cloud Cross Slashes, Debonair likely still manages to survive the Stop turns and finish the job. 
Lyon vs Nina 4 - sure.
Zeon vs Belcoot - 2HKOs and isn't one-rounded works for me.

[Ultradude]

Zelos vs Ike - FE10 staves off the 2HKO, I think, and kills with his attacks and counters. Ranged attack might mean he goes first.

[alanna82]

Zelos vs Ike
Lyon vs Nina 4

[DjinnAndTonic]

Debonair vs Cloud - No way is Debonair avoiding or surviving a Limit.
Zelos vs Ike - What is Ike dealing double damage with? Kneejerking Zelos as getting first turn.
Lyon vs Nina 4 - Likely OHKOs.
Zeon vs Belcoot

[Ultradude]

Zelos vs Ike - What is Ike dealing double damage with? Kneejerking Zelos as getting first turn.

I was wondering that as well, but I didn't bother asking since I decided to vote FE10, who I see scraping a win anyways.

[Nephrite]

Debonair vs Cloud
Zelos vs Ike - I am assuming he meant since Ike counters and then attacks, that's double damage. I also see Ike getting off an Aether which royally fucks over Zelos.
Lyon vs Nina 4 - I guess.
Zeon vs Belcoot

One more day, guys.
