Booo 1-0 matches.

Jowy Atreides (Suikoden II) vs Clarissa Arwin (Wild ARMs XF): Fractionally faster.

Tengaar (Suikoden Series) vs Necromancer (Final Fantasy V Advance): Tengaar can't OHKO, can't deal with turn 1 status.

Happy belated Thanksgiving, Snowfire.

Jowy Atreides (Suikoden II) vs Clarissa Arwin (Wild ARMs XF)

LeBlanc (Final Fantasy X-2) vs Andarc (Suikoden Tactics)- Well, LeBlanc doesn't need to worry about counters, and does get to mess with panels, but she barely 6HKOs base. Andarc cuts 11% off magic. LeBlanc does 17%. LeBlanc hates any subtractive mdef for sure. HP...graw, assuming a bit below average PC HP in a complete gut check. Since I think Andarc would still get the regen from panels the turn cast, my gut says to go with him since LeBlanc needs to attack 4-5 times to get past one of those. Gah, she is painful.
...into the nightfall.

Emo Versus Evil Incarnate

Emelious (Grandia III) vs Der Fuhrer (Persona 2: Innocent Sin)- Seems like, at least, he can limit how much Holy Grail Hitler gets.

The Great Clash of Pragmatism and Idealism

Jowy Atreides (Suikoden II) vs Clarissa Arwin (Wild ARMs XF)

Tsundere vs Necromancer, Rd. 115

Tengaar (Suikoden Series) vs Necromancer (Final Fantasy V Advance)

Yuri vs Yaoi

LeBlanc (Final Fantasy X-2) vs Andarc (Suikoden Tactics)


So I'll probably go ahead and tally this tonight, seeing as I'm already late and all.  Anyone want another tournament in the next week or two?  What sort of gimmick would people be into for such?

Emo Versus Evil Incarnate

Emelious (Grandia III)- i vs Der Fuhrer (Persona 2: Innocent Sin)- ii

The Great Clash of Pragmatism and Idealism

Jowy Atreides (Suikoden II)- i vs Clarissa Arwin (Wild ARMs XF)- viii

Tsundere vs Necromancer, Rd. 115

Tengaar (Suikoden Series)- i vs Necromancer (Final Fantasy V Advance)- iiii

Yuri vs Yaoi

LeBlanc (Final Fantasy X-2)- i vs Andarc (Suikoden Tactics)- v

And that, as they say, is that.

Anyway, like I said I'm curious if anyone has any tourney quirks they'd like to see.

I'd be fine with a plain ol' "Tourney 2012" (starting early).  i.e. noms of 4-5 ranked + an optional 1 unranked and just make a big ol' tourney with slightly rigged sections for votability.

I also am a huge fan of team tournies still a la my Parties & Rivals or Yoshiken's Trinity Limit tourney, and would happily cook up teams / brackets for either one of those, but I'm not certain there's enough voters interested in that left.

Mm.  I know at one point I was considering a simpler 2 v 2 format for a tourney but there's some logistical issues that would need hammered out.  Though some are fairly simple at least.

The basic restriction I had in mind was each team needed to be from the same game.  Beyond that, there's the open question of how many 'divisions' to use, and how to format the teams.  For example, supposing we had two divisions, you might have one be a Heavy and a Middle/Light, then another be a Middle and a Light.  But due to the wonders of synergy some characters might disproportionately gain strength in such a format, so perhaps it's better to suggest a target power level (say, mid-rank Godlike and mid-low Heavy)?  Or just cast caution aside, have an Upper and Lower division, and restrictions like "One character may be a Heavy, the other must be Middle or lower" for the Upper, and a similar wording for the Lower?  I dunno.

Teams being from the same game was used in Parties vs. Rivals to keep it votable, yes.  As for divisions, well, just ignore the normal DL ranks and rank the team.  2 DL Heavies with no synergy probably end up being "Middle" under the classical 4 divisions, while the right 1 Godlike propels the entire team to Godlike (DQ8 Jessica, SH3 Johnny Garland).  For Parties & Rivals, I just threw out the divisions I had assumed and asked if anybody had any complaints or suggestions about 'em.  Probably safest to do that.

Well, obviously using all the divisions isn't much fun to organize.  I really like the idea of two distinct power levels, but also the idea of keeping the DL rankings proper relevant in some fashion.

Hm.  I'm liking the idea of 2 person teams, but I dunno about straight 2v2.  There's some room to play if I can figure out the right way to approach it.

Hm.  I'll throw up a nom topic this weekend.  More ideas to fine tune in the interim are welcome.
