Heavy Team Tourney - Brackets time! Winner's side (Round 1)

[Tide]

Last week's results:

Pool G
Winner  - Ladies Men

Other two teams in a tie of 0 to 0. Thanks Hatbot! Tiebreak this week to figure out who goes into loser's bracket. I'm operating in a double elimination fashion so it works out that I still need to work out losers I guess.

Pool H
Winner - Dragons
Loser - Clones
Out - Spoiling Skies

Tiebreaker - Princesses

Dragons sweep up the competition. Clones make it to losers whiles Skies gets spoiled.

Time for the brackets on the remaining teams! Loser of these rounds will go into Loser's brackets before being eliminated.

Dragons sweep up the competition. Clones make it to losers whiles Skies gets spoiled.

Time for the brackets on the remaining teams! Loser of these rounds will go into Loser's brackets before being eliminated.

Team DRAGONS vs. Team Dragon Sandbags
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Guv (no Call Team), Angelo (DQ8), Cristo (DQ4): Zog and Sara bring too much MT damage. Ryu1 can put out a Rang before Cristo layeth down the Instant Death.

Team Ladies Men vs. Team Darkness
Edgar (FF6), Zelos (ToS), Ronfar (Lunar 2) vs. Cthulhu (CStW), Athos (FE7), Sierra (S2): Edgar isn't getting a turn, and Zelos/Ronfar can't do anything about the situation. If Ctulhu uses the Cursed Sword this gets nastier as both his allies hit a lot harder and he himself gets +30% Str instead of +10%.

Team Here comes the Sun vs. Team Valentine Reunion
Ho-oh, Groudon, Exeggutor (Pokemon; No Mega Forms) vs. Keith (SH1), Joachim (SH2), Hilda Valentine (SH3): I think everything on team Sun is faster and so decimates the Valentines before they can do anything.

Team Ragnarok vs. Team Boom
Hrist (VP2), Ull (VP2), Surt (VP) vs. Jowy Atreides (Suiko1), Lyon (Suiko5), Geno (SMRPG): 1.5x Jowy's damage + Lyon's damage is... Close to 2.5x PCHP? Yikes. I think that might outright kill Hrist and Surt. If it doesn't then the survivors would want to kill everyone but... Jowy would  halve damage so would take more time, and they don't have great MT damage, so at LEAST one other member would get a turn, and they could probably finish the job? I guess it depends on if you see Hrist and Surt living through the onslaught.


Tiebreaker: Gags vs. Wily
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Hojo (FF7), Bowman (SO2), Lexis (Lufia 2): I think Decus and Precis can mess up Bowman and Lexis.

Closes in approximate a week!

[SnowFire]

Team DRAGONS vs. Team Dragon Sandbags
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Guv (no Call Team), Angelo (DQ8), Cristo (DQ4)

Cristo halves Fire, Ryu's dragon form doesn't immune ID, Zog & Sara's offense shouldn't outpace the healing.

Team Ladies Men vs. Team Darkness
Edgar (FF6), Zelos (ToS), Ronfar (Lunar 2) vs. Cthulhu (CStW), Athos (FE7), Sierra (S2)

Insane Sword shenanigans might work here since all of Team Darkness is faster, but even assuming otherwise...  2x moves should KO Edgar and force a Miracle Litany out of Ronfar, and the 3rd move is probably more helpful than whatever Zelos does.

Team Ragnarok vs. Team Boom
Hrist (VP2), Ull (VP2), Surt (VP) vs. Jowy Atreides (Suiko1), Lyon (Suiko5), Geno (SMRPG)

It's Team Boom.

Tiebreaker: Gags vs. Wily
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Hojo (FF7), Bowman (SO2), Lexis (Lufia 2)

Gags has at least 1 competent character in Decus, backed by some cruddy healing.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Darn, forgot to vote on the tiebreaker last week. Oh well.

Team DRAGONS vs. Team Dragon Sandbags
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Guv (no Call Team), Angelo (DQ8), Cristo (DQ4): Kiryl IDs Ryu after Ryu launches an attack, Angelo or Guv heals the attack. At this point it's Zog + Sara, but the best they can do is kill one person + hurt everyone else. That's not bad, because it pretty much forces Omniheal + revival, which can only be done five times (Multiheal... I dunno. The team has some Char resistance but not much, it certainly still 2HKOs Angelo even with a Multiheal in the middle, if probably not the others. So it they try for Multiheal, both Kazing users die.) Still, the team has a spare turn, which... I dunno. One option is for Angelo to use Bounce, which wards off spells nicely, actually. The team can still hurt Guv + kill Kiryl but that gets taken care of by ST heal and Kazing, and gives Kiryl a free turn to use defence buffing next turn... yeah, I think Dragons can take this.

Team Ladies Men vs. Team Darkness
Edgar (FF6), Zelos (ToS), Ronfar (Lunar 2) vs. Cthulhu (CStW), Athos (FE7), Sierra (S2): Faster, piles on offence/status first.

Team Here comes the Sun vs. Team Valentine Reunion
Ho-oh, Groudon, Exeggutor (Pokemon; No Mega Forms) vs. Keith (SH1), Joachim (SH2), Hilda Valentine (SH3): Faster, piles on offence/status first.

Team Ragnarok vs. Team Boom
Hrist (VP2), Ull (VP2), Surt (VP) vs. Jowy Atreides (Suiko1), Lyon (Suiko5), Geno (SMRPG): Faster, piles on offence first. Surt's the only one I think has a chance of getting a turn, and he ain't doing anything with it.


Tiebreaker: Gags vs. Wily
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Hojo (FF7), Bowman (SO2), Lexis (Lufia 2): Decus + Precis should be able to kill Lexis, then overwhelm from there.

The sun, it burns!

Team Ragnarok vs. Team Boom

Tiebreaker: Gags vs. Wily
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Hojo (FF7), Bowman (SO2), Lexis (Lufia 2)
  Lexis is above average speed?!  So he may get a turn before dying.  Don't see a way that he'll live to a second turn though.  Maybe if one sees Decus as frailer than I do and Lexis and Bowman are able to blitz him down (Hojo's samples do so little damage it's not going to be decisive)... um, no.  Bowman's best damage is subject to evasion.

Team DRAGONS vs. Team Dragon Sandbags
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Guv (no Call Team), Angelo (DQ8), Cristo (DQ4)- Yeah, strong kneejerk here.

Team Ladies Men vs. Team Darkness
Edgar (FF6), Zelos (ToS), Ronfar (Lunar 2) vs. Cthulhu (CStW), Athos (FE7), Sierra (S2)- Edgar's not getting a turn.

Team Here comes the Sun vs. Team Valentine Reunion
Ho-oh, Groudon, Exeggutor (Pokemon; No Mega Forms) vs. Keith (SH1), Joachim (SH2), Hilda Valentine (SH3).

Team Ragnarok vs. Team Boom
Hrist (VP2), Ull (VP2), Surt (VP) vs. Jowy Atreides (Suiko1), Lyon (Suiko5), Geno (SMRPG)- If Heal was MT and Ull survived... eh nah, doubt it, Geno Boost is a thing.


Tiebreaker: Gags vs. Wily
Decus (SO2), Precis (SO2), Chu-chu (XG) vs. Hojo (FF7), Bowman (SO2), Lexis (Lufia 2)- Explode+Barrier handle Lexis and Bowman's not soloing Decus.

[Tide]

Team DRAGONS vs. Team Dragon Sandbags
Zog (BoF1), Sara (BoF1) and Ryu (BoF1) vs. Guv (no Call Team), Angelo (DQ8), Cristo (DQ4) - Yeah, I think Sandbagging works here too well. Guv has enough healing to buy enough time for Cristo and Angelo to cast buffers on the team, at which point, Dragons won't make headway.

Team Here comes the Sun vs. Team Valentine Reunion
Ho-oh, Groudon, Exeggutor (Pokemon; No Mega Forms) vs. Keith (SH1), Joachim (SH2), Hilda Valentine (SH3) - Well, everyone on Team Sun goes before the Valentines, at which point, they show the vampires why those in the folklore hate sunlight (Lots of MT pain).

Team Ragnarok vs. Team Boom
Hrist (VP2), Ull (VP2), Surt (VP) vs. Jowy Atreides (Suiko1), Lyon (Suiko5), Geno (SMRPG) - Everyone on Team Boom goes before the other side. This kind of puts the other team into an unwinnable position. Hrist is definitely dead (regardless of which form), so its just Ull and Surt or Ull or Surt solo. Even in the best case scenario, the best they can do is take out the other two, at which point, Jowy drops another boosted Hungry Fiend on them. If they try to gang up on Jowy (he's Boosted, remember), then Lyon and Geno probably get a second turn and just drop more MT. Ouch. Maybe if Heal was MT.
