Meru (LoD) vs Todd (WA3): Todd's got a 2HKO here, but Meru is faster and can go dragoon to tank/heal through it. Gain 400 SP, then magic, heal, magic, magic should kill? If not... probably still manages.
Meru vs Guy (Lufia 2): Pretty sure she handles this.
Meru vs Swampert (PKMN): If stat downs work on dragoons then maybe Swampert can win this, but nah not inclined to make that tiebreak.
Meru vs Keneth (S4): Kenneth's a mage, so he can't really threaten Meru I don't think? S4 physical kinda scares her but not much, this is like Todd again except Kenneth's slower than Todd.
Meru vs Karin (SH2): Not sure where this OHKO hype is coming from, Karin's physical damage is unspecial and her fire is magic and only hits a 1.5x weakness (hence physicals are still better!).
Meru vs Adray (SO3): Uhh Adray needs to get two shots of Ice Neeldes in (Meru doesn't immune stop, which is the LoD status I'd see as analogous to freeze) when Meru isn't a dragoon. Obviously he can get the first early... can he turtle until then? Yeah probably, between Reflection and Healing.
Meru vs Mia (Lunar:SSSC): Oh yes Mia can half ice while being sub-Kyle speed, that's so scary. Meru outlasts Mia pretty easily.
Meru vs Valkyrie (Bravely Default): Weird turtle/counterturtle fight. I'm not really sure. Probably Meru? Valkyrie can block confuse, but -10 speed doesn't help.
Meru vs Twaikin (S3): Yeah no.
Meru vs Quina (FF9): Nulls ice. Casts Vanish if Meru goes dragoon to turtle that away, otherwise the damage is mockable and can be beaten out by some status option or other.
Meru vs Rubella (Child of Light): Uh surely.
Sniper Ruffles, I think. That extra damage goes a long, long way.
Virion (FE13) vs Todd (WA3): Faster, 3HKOs, isn't 2HKOed.
Virion vs Guy (Lufia 2): Sure. Probably the same as Swampert below honestly.
Virion vs Swampert (PKMN): Have to think he 2HKOs, and he certainly isn't 2HKOed or 3-2ed... or doubled I don't think.
Virion vs Keneth (S4): Faster... a OHKO is even possible here? Doesn't matter anyway.
Virion vs Karin (SH2): Faster, 3HKOs, isn't 2HKOed. Sensing a pattern with Virion against Middles, here...
Virion vs Adray (SO3): Has a 2HKO on the somewhat frail Adray, and is faster, and Adray's status isn't turn 1. I guess... Protection could stave off a 2HKO? But I remember SO3 defence being crap and anyway Adray is further below average before Protection than he is above average after it.
Virion vs Mia (Lunar:SSSC): 2HKOs, isn't 2HKOed. In theory I should check if Ice Shell can tilt this, but meh.
Virion vs Valkyrie (Bravely Default): Valkyrie's not bad against a non-healer, and is reasonably tanky. Just spend most of the time in the air, and throw in a Spirit Barrier.
Virion vs Twaikin (S3): Eh sure.
Virion vs Quina (FF9): Quina's not great against non-elemental types faster than it. I could probably be talked into allowing Night but eh...
Virion vs Rubella (Child of Light): My gut says she's 2HKOed here, and that's hard to come back from.
Gafgarion (FFT) vs Todd (WA3): Should drain off Todd's damage.
Gafgarion vs Guy (Lufia 2): Trusting Super.
Gafgarion vs Swampert (PKMN): GROWL/Mud Shot for a lap and kill? Gaf needs five hits to kill this way so Swampert will get three shots in, gotta think they'll punch through his game.
Gafgarion vs Keneth (S4): That damage stings.
Gafgarion vs Karin (SH2): Karin can't really outpace the draining.
Gafgarion vs Adray (SO3): Ice Needles.
Gafgarion vs Mia (Lunar:SSSC): Mia probably has an argument with defence-buffing but meh.
Gafgarion vs Valkyrie (Bravely Default): On the one hand, Spirit Barrier shuts off the drain game. On the other hand... not sure she can blitz during that time anyway? Hmm. She'll probably use Spirit Barrier, then High Jump, High Jump, High Jump, wait, High Jump... that may kill? Gaf gets in five attacks in the meantime, and if the first four break Spirit Barrier he wins. ... and yeah surely they do. Heck, three might.
Gafgarion vs Twaikin (S3): To be perfectly honest, Twaikin's offence is SO HORRIBLE that even a greatly reduced draining should be enough. Being ITE helps here, even if Twaikin thirds physical damage I think he may be fucked. That is how sad his offence is. Though... the reduction might be even more badass? Mm. On paper it like sixths damage. That... might be enough, but it's close. Of course, kneejerk is don't respect THAT level of pdur to the listed value, so... mm. Let's say Gaf heals 10% each turn. Twaiking does 15% or so... with some discredit for Gaff's shield, and the turnsplit is like a 4-3... yeah I think the draining's good enough.
Gafgarion vs Quina (FF9): Yep.
Gafgarion vs Rubella (Child of Light): Runs her out of resources.
Red Mage (BD) vs Todd (WA3): Cast two Protects, refresh every four turns, cast Cura a lot... this should barely outpace Todd's damage. To make matters worse he pretty much has to keep punching RM into Revival range, I think. But... oh god, HEALING FACTOR may counter-troll RM. Yeah, holy crap, Todd runs RM out of resources with that, 5% infinite healing owns RM who does less than 3% damage per turn, and is slower. ... except wait, FIRE POISON literally tilts a match, for the first time ever.
Red Mage vs Guy (Lufia 2): Again, weak infinite healing... and/or offensive pressure. Guy being slower and vulnerable to sleep is really bad, but he's immune to poison so I think he'll manage.
Red Mage vs Swampert (PKMN): Poison/sleep strats do their thing.
Red Mage vs Keneth (S4): Sleep is turn 1, but Kenneth does hit awfully hard and is slightly faster. Sleep, heal twice... yeah I think Sleep needs to be a bit too close to perfect for RM to win this.
Red Mage vs Karin (SH2): Clearcut slaughter, actually, see Todd.
Red Mage vs Adray (SO3): Adray can be slept, but is immune to poison and only needs two shots at Ice Needles to win. He'll get those.
Red Mage vs Mia (Lunar:SSSC): Sleep/poison.
Red Mage vs Valkyrie (Bravely Default): Valkyrie pretty much doesn't beat people who can heal or buff.
Red Mage vs Twaikin (S3): Twaikin immunes both poison and sleep so... uh... but yeah RM can probably do the needed stalling. Takes forever.
Red Mage vs Quina (FF9): I think?
Red Mage vs Rubella (Child of Light): Poison/sleep. Rubella can do that status immunity buff but RM can wait that out with his far superior resources.
Meru 9-2
Gafgarion 7-4
Red Mage 6-5
Virion 4-7
