DRAGONS
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Genevieve(VP), Juan (Suiko3), Cliff (SO3) = Genevieve tries, but her teammates are mostly cannon fodder for the Dragons. Zog and Sara are even vulnerable to taking extra damage from magic! But Discrim unfocuses with 3 people and Zog probably won't die unless he eats one that is focused, so then the other team just gangs up and takes her out. Juan is still asleep and Cliff is kinda bad when MP busting isn't a concern.
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Ayla (CT), Izlude (FFT), Keith (SH1) - Pretty certain on this as well. Team Dragons can eliminate someone on the other side without much trouble, while their own team members won't fall to one turn from the enemy.
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Yuri Hyuga (SHs), Queen Zeal (CT) - Same problem as with Gene. If Zeal didn't have the 1/2 unlock or have her busters be pure counter moves, this COULD be interesting (both Zog and Sara are vulnerable to HP-1). As is, everyone gangs up Yuri and even if he doesn't get one rounded, he is definitely heal locked and will eventually run out of Sanity and die. Afterwards, Zeal herself is fodder for three people who can chip around her limit phases.
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Citan (XG), Lady Harken (WAs), Beatrice (WA3), Mao (SH3) - The enemy team is surprisingly competent. Anyway, Ryu MUST transform immediately because both Citan and Harken outspeed and Beatrice can sleep him to which he has no answer for. But then what does he do? The problem for the Dragons is that Zog and Sara are both slow. They need to kill Mao because Mao has MT Revival. Also, because it isn't full, if he kills Harken, she just revives her and now we have OHKO Maximum Risk crazies. He also can't leave Citan alone because Citan can make his Haste MT (at which point, they are in deep. Hasted Harken? Jesus) or cast a Shield to lower the damage from Zog on Beatrice or Mao. He also can't leave Beatrice unchecked because if Mao gets a chance to SURGE her, all of sudden that magic damage becomes a lot more competent (plus she has MT Feeble Mind). All in all, this just feels stacked against the other team. Even if Ryu manages to make some headway, his other team mates aren't fast enough to take advantage of it. If he takes out Mao, Citan can haste Harken at which point, really bad things happen and even if he kills Citan, Mao can revive him.
Spoiling Skies
Vyse, Aika, Enrique (SoA) vs. Genevieve (VP), Juan (Suiko3), Cliff (SO3) - I assume that the shields can stack. It costs 7 AP, but it shuts down most forms of offense but physical techs. Unfortunately, Gene has an unique physical ability in Contaminate Energy and all of Cliff's BSes are pretty much unique. Vyse is probably dead before doing anything else significant (Contaminate Energy + one Cliff BS chain will certain do it). Aika gets the first turn but can't do anything with it (confusing simply gets enemies to attack her), so that's pretty much that.
Vyse, Aika, Enrique (SoA) vs. Ayla (CT), Izlude (FFT), Keith (SH1) - Oh right, I forgot about Breaks and Ayla mostly spamming techs. What Snowfire said basically then.
Vyse, Aika, Enrique (SoA) vs. Yuri Hyuga (SHs), Queen Zeal (CT) - Also unsure. Dual shielding works pretty well until they get to needing to chip around Zeal's Half HP phases. They have to drop shields at this point but I dunno if they can safely blow past it. I assume that they won't but Zeal needs 2 turns to really screw Team Skies over (Hallation + Poke), and most likely, Enrique can drop Quika to make sure they have a speed advantage before this point. So Team Skies should still win. Yuri, hiliariously does not matter as he gets shut down by Dual Shields so the enemy team just pokes him until he dies.
Vyse, Aika, Enrique (SoA) vs. Citan (XG), Lady Harken (WAs), Beatrice (WA3), Mao (SH3) - Skull Shield doesn't stop Citan's deathblows to me and certainly doesn't stop Harken's deadlier techs. So that's out. Aika has to drop Delta shield or Beatrice sleeps all of them to death. So Aika's turn is locked and Vyse can stop the two fastest people on the other team. Citan and Harken gang up on Aika and kill her. At which point, now they are vulnerable to sleep so GG.
NOTE: I may not have a full grasp of how the shields work or missing something on Team Skies; might need to re-evaluate/delete stuff.
Tiebreaker:
Team GodHand vs. Team Princesses
Riou (Suiko), Geddoe (Suiko3), Lazlo (Suiko4) vs. Princess Toadstool (SMRPG), Nina2 (BoF2), Clarissa (WA:XF) - Turn order is: Clarissa > Riou > Toadstool > Geddoe >= Lazlo > Nina. Team GodHand has two dudes with MT OHKO damage, but there is a fatal flaw in their team: Only Geddoe has sleep/silence blocking. I am assuming he can block both with one blocker because otherwise, Toadstool just uses the status that he isn't blocking and locks the entire enemy team down with that. Note that the status has a 99% chance of working. This is really really bad because team GodHand's big MT damage comes from using their true runes. If he can block both at the same time, then the strat for Princesses is probably to have Clarissa can Rob turn at 75% to stop Riou, then Sacrifice + Psych Bomb to take out Geddoe. Lazlo can ID someone (probably Nina), but Clarissa can rob turn again, and use Encourage to push Toadstool's turn forward to MT Silence/Sleep. If he takes out Clarissa, Nina can Death Riou. And if he takes out Toadstool, same situation, but Rob Turn this time on Lazlo after using Death on Riou. While there are lots of dice rolls to this, I don't think the odds side with Team GodHand.
