I don't closely remember XS1 Albedo... mostly going off Dhyer's notes in the stat topic.
Albedo Piazzola vs Claude C. Kenni (SO2) - Yeah, I suspect this is a OHKO as well. Albedo wishes he could access Demonic Gaze - Soul S at full HP here.
Do you mean Mist S, or is Soul S HP-locked too? That'd make him a much worse dueler if so...
Albedo vs
Orlandu (FFT)2HKOs faster, blocks Confuse.
Albedo vs
Mewtwo (PKMN)Probably requires letting Mewtwo use a custom moveset, but for bosses I'm a bit more lenient. No buffing hype for later-gen Mewtwo, but he can use a weaker attack than a stronger attack to 2HKO while avoiding the confusion, arguably Lem Berry might render this moot anyway.
Albedo vs
Citan (XG)This is actually pretty close, as Citan absolutely has to 2HKO with 2x Festive Earths or else get heal-locked by the 50% max HP drain move. (XG Mental Blocker probably gets confuse, right?). But sure, I guess I don't see earth as getting blocked here.
Albedo vs
Patriarch (XS2)RIP
Albedo vs
Claude (SO2)Uh... assuming Albedo isn't OHKO'd, Claude has more problems, as if Albedo's speed buff is as good as Dhyer hypes, he can kill any average-speed PC who doesn't OHKO him with Haste -> 2x Gravity moves on the spot. I'm not really sure I'm inclined to give the haste move that much credit, and Claude isn't actually too terribly far from OHKOing. I guess I'll give it to Albedo, but feels like a cheap win.... oh but wait, I see Tide's comment about it rounding down. Claude has an odd max HP in the topic, so that doesn't work!
Albedo vs
Jowy (S2)Jowy's fast and can probably limit-chip with physical -> boom. The draining is too weak vs. non-AWGS.
Albedo vs
Hrist (VP2)Albedo vs Lilka (WA2)
Usual no thanks at uber-TB speed being better than uber ATB speed. Lilka might possibly stall to 100 FP, but it doesn't matter because Albedo will be at max HP from basically heal-locking Lilka with drains, and a full 100 FP combo can't kill.
Albedo vs
Eileen (S1)Albedo vs Gau (FF6)
Blargh Gau. I usually kneejerk vote against him, but FF6 monsters that immune death also immune gravity IIRC, so Gau might actually get to spoil here if he has something decisive that stops gravity, confuse, & fire. And doesn't die to 0 MP.
Albedo vs Zidane (FF9)
2-1-8. Yeah Albedo always wants his XS2 form.
The Girl has a new official localization, Primm! Well new as of 2 years ago or so.
Purim vs
Orlandu (FFT)Primm has .92 PCHP or so, so OHKO'd.
Purim vs
Mewtwo (PKMN)Another match where I should figure out what Mewtwo's default moveset is, since he really wants a moveset with both a physical damage & special damage move here so that Purim can't wall him entirely on turn 1. Anyway, if Mewtwo carries a Lum Berry and can 2HKO either defense without the Mind Plate or whatever, not a lot Purim can do, since it definitely undoes Burn.
Purim vs Citan (XG)
Flame Bouquet ruins doc. oh no 1 damage deathblows.
Purim vs Patriarch (XS2)
Patriarch doesn't build Boost fast enough to scare the Girl. Moon Saber, Moon Energy, go nuts, heal off any status with Remedy. Hypothetically Patriarch can Remedy-lock Purim by constantly spamming Curse of Gatres, but not sure I'm down for hyping that kind of boss AI, and it might not work anyway depending on if the Moon Saber healing happens simultaneously or not. At worst, skip the Moon Energy so that Purim isn't critting and OHKO'ing herself before she can get the drain.
Purim vs Claude (SO2)
Lucent Barrier or possibly Flame Bouquet. Or just Blaze Wall if you're strict about SO2 blockers.
Purim vs
Jowy (S2)Probably OHKO's.
Purim vs Hrist (VP2)
Weirdly enough, Primm manhandles boss Hrist, but fears status nonsense from PC Hrist, perhaps. Not a huge fan of hyping that too much, and maybe Primm goes first and Lucid Barriers if the Barrier absorption is seen as turning off status attempts, then Flame Bouquets to make Hrist's damage fail forever.
Purim vs Lilka (WA2)
Lilka must open Reflect or die horribly to Blaze Wall. But... she has no answer to a status-saber game. Cast Fire Saber, punch her in the face, gg.
Purim vs Eileen (S1)
Blaze Wall.
Purim vs Gau (FF6)
I let paralysis-blocking stop SoM Engulf because I'm nice, but I'm a bit stricter with SoM Freeze. FF6 doesn't really have an analog to stop all damage & actions (Petrify vs. physicals, I guess?), so Freeze Saber, hit once, buff to hell & back, then resume the fight.
Purim vs Zidane (FF9)
Silence Soul Blade is that bad? Okay then.
8-3
Valsu vs
Orlandu (FFT)Valsu vs Mewtwo (PKMN)
Non-Gen1 Mewtwo will eventually struggle himself to death. He'll miss before he gets a double, and that miss is catastrophic since it allows Valsu to start buffing rather than being Elixir-locked.
Valsu vs
Citan (XG)Valsu vs
Patriarch (XS2)Yeah still not down for allowing Curse of Gartres infinite spam... although even every other turn might buy enough time to do some horrible boost combo of doom to bust through. And... Patriarch halves Ice, and Down status turns off evade. Okay then.
Valsu vs Claude (SO2)
Wait for lucky evasion... which may take a loooong time considering Claude is multi-hit... then cast the evade-buffing spell and hope for the best. But sure.
Valsu vs Jowy (S2)
More infuriating evade hype.
Valsu vs Hrist (VP2)
More evasion!
Valsu vs Lilka (WA2)
After the first matchup never ends, Lilka's power is sealed into 7 runes and scattered across the land.
Valsu vs Eileen (S1)
Valsu vs Gau (FF6)
There's probably some ice-immune, status-immune rage out there, but whatever.
Valsu vs Zidane (FF9)
6-2-3
