Now that 3/4 have been knocked out, the source of the sinister conspiracy controlling the pairings has been unveiled, and the TTP brigade can now attempt their true goal and face their timeless foe, the ancient and future enemy of all such gentlewomen: Robot dinosaurs.
Play Blue Dragon.
DivinitiesXorn (Grandia III) vs.
Lady (Shadow Hearts: From the New World): I think she can unload enough damage in one round. No way she lives to get a second, so this is important.
TimeLord (Saga Frontier) vs. Yuna (Final Fantasy X): Good news for Yuna: she can block stone. Bad news, TimeEclipse x8 is still too much damage.
DemigodsHildagarde Valentine (Shadow Hearts: From the New World) vs.
Altima (Final Fantasy Tactics): MP busting wins this if Grand Cross doesn't.
Berle (Star Ocean 2) vs. Jowy Atreides (Suikoden II): I dunno. Can Jowy survive one round of Berle attacks? And 2HKO with Hungry Friend? (I strongly lean yes for the latter at the very least.) Not certain here.
Fang (Final Fantasy XIII) vs. Ryu Bateson (Breath of Fire 2): Not sure how I feel about hyping the FF13 cast cheating speed a bit by entering their actions quickly. Fog x4 screws over Ryu though, probably.
HeroesNina (Breath of Fire 1) vs. Momo (Breath of Fire 3): Eternal buff wars or something.
Basilio (Fire Emblem: Awakening) vs.
Lazlo (Suikoden IV): Well, this is terrible.
Bonus match: Roar of TimeLucina, Clarissa, Marle, Eruca vs.
Mother Brainosaur, 3x Displaydocus, Atroposatos XR, 1x Rex Series, Gatodactyl, Mecha-Nizbel 2, Azalatron, Black Tyrano 9000Ummm okay. As I've observed previuosly, you can generally add 1 to CT boss speed since no way in hell do you react as fast the enemies do. Initial kneejerk for turn order as such: Nizbel > Mother Brain > Clarissa > Azala/Tyrano > Atropos XR > R Series > Eruca > Lucina > Gato > Marle
Okay. Mother Brain opens by reprogramming Clarissa (yes). R series can blitz out Eruca. Azala can sleep Lucina. Marle will get a turn but I don't think she can do anything decisive. Revive someone? Same situation repeats second round except now the enemies have more turns to work with.
Things get a bit better if you see, say, Clarissa outspeeding Mother Brain or Eruca outspeeding the R Series (the only flips that I could buy here). However, I don't think they change my vote. Clarissa can probably OHKO Azala, at which point Mother Brain reporgrams Lucina instead. Of course, Clarissa isn't getting a second useful turn since she has weakened herself with the first Sacrifice. Eruca can one-round all the R series and do some modest damage elsewhere which is nice, but dies anyway to Robo Tackle + Swallow. Marle can... revive, but Reprogramming/Sleep are coming again. Yeah, in general I think the ST status moves of Mother Brain and Azala win this fight, as two PCs can't block them and a third probably can't afford to (ANY stat hit to Eruca is terrible news for her given the speed spread of this fight, and I wouldn't see her blocking confuse anyway).
