Although wait a second.  Elaine's spell charges suck, she has a mere 1 L4.  Okay yeah, if she can't spam Explosion, then Stocke has a psuedo-heal lock on her that she can't effectively exploit via attacking, and if Elaine doesn't heal right away, Switching.  So yeah, given Switch hype, Stocke does win even if he's seen as only having a 3HKO short of a lucky turn 1 Stun.

I think her other choice would be SLing it up, but Stocke gets a free G-Fire that way, and Dogface pdur sorta sucks. She's way too likely to just get outslugged that way.

Couldn't Stocke just push Elaine back if he's worried about the damage she does on a double?

Palom (Final Fantasy IV) vs Nadia 'Marle' Guardia (Chrono Trigger) - grrrrrrrrrr 4A Palom immunes Confuse and Death is turn two even against Marle mdef.

Don't think it is relevant but Palom could immune confuse (Headband), pig (Ruby Ring) and silence (Bard's Tunic) in 4o even with temp equips.

Heavy

Ivan (Golden Sun) vs Groudon (Pokémon Series) - Status lock. I don't see Ivan's lightning damage as working on Groudon, but he has plenty of clearly-Wind damage, too.
Scias (Breath of Fire IV) vs Maya Schroedinger (Wild ARMs 3) - If Shining Blade 2HKOs Maya and Scias gets two turns, can't he just go 1. Focus 2. Shining Blade?

Edit: Ah right, one Focus is only 150% base damage, so if you see Maya as particularly tanky then Scias needs to Focus twice. I reckon he's got this, regardless.

Middle

Palom (Final Fantasy IV) vs Nadia 'Marle' Guardia (Chrono Trigger) - Death.

Light

Augst Henricksen (Wild ARMs 4) vs Rhys (Fire Emblem Series) - I can see the immunity argument, but I don't think I buy it here.

Unrelated Edit: Unique Equips Only Relm also gets the Cat Hood.

Focus is an itemcast, and while it's on a Scias armor, any PC can use it, not being tied to having the item equipped. I personally don't feel very comfortable allowing it (G3 itemcasts are kinda different, since you need to equip the item -and- all the itemcast equips are character-unique).

Focus is on King's Armour, which is a very rare steal from a superboss (we're talking less than 1% here because lol BoF4 steal). Not legal at all to me.

EDIT: Okay, BoF4 steal mechanics are actually documented. The absolute highest the chance to steal from Rider (requires 170 speed, i.e. endgame Nina, for Steal to be used last in a three-person combo, and Charm to have been used on the target previously) is about (8 + 4) * 3 / 4096, or about 0.9%.

Also OK I'd like to point out that your view is possibly the only one where Rolf wants his FE9 form.  (Unique Rolf's Bow, lots of laguz aren't attacking any time soon despite having legal weapons, so lots of 0s in the damage average and FE9 Rolf is a Godlike overkiller with his fearsome hated bow...  I believe FE10 Rolf's Bow isn't unique.)


Makes sense - that's who my old views went.  RPGP had the clause about uniqueness - that's what I went with and was strict about back then.  Storebought equipment isn't unique, nor is starting equipment - some casts got hosed, some specific characters got godly, others were...decent.  FE in particular gets crazy variance (Ike for Godlike doesn't sound unreasonable...).  It's the fun of taking this interpretation!

All right, fair arguments against Focus. I don't think I'd throw out the itemcast, myself, but that's not important here since I can agree that a <1% steal is a no go. Scias does have a surprisingly solid stall game for Plan B, though, because because if Maya hits him into Rashka range without activating it then he can just heal himself up and try again. So Maya has to try to chip Scias around critical HP with her physical... which means that she's forced to deal with his 20% counterattack rate. Opening Blizzard plus counter-attack plus Shining Blade finisher is more than enough damage to kill PC-ish durability, and Scias has the AP for 21 55% Heals or 11 100% Rejuvenates while he waits. Granted, he'll probably need to use some of those Heals on attacks where Maya rolled high for random variance (by Elfboy's numbers in the WA3 topic and here, she's normally dealing ~0.41 PCHP to his ~0.83 Pdur) but I reckon he's still got enough time to activate a win.

Yeah, toss out Scias' focus then. But he's only 83% Pdur. He drops a few points of defense losing that armor, but only 7 (With that should take about extra 6% from physicals I think (physicals normally multiply defense by 10x in BoF 4 IIRC, and has about 94% HP, so 83% should be a little low). Unless Mist Armor is also tossable. Granted, I guess Maya's chipping move and a Calamity Jane are fatal to average, so def get Scias regardless, so change that vote to Maya.
...into the nightfall.
