Spooky hat tourney: Extra battles
« on: November 19, 2024, 04:31:11 AM »
The previous round is still open for voting but I had a big enough stretch of free time so went ahead and typed this out.  The two 3 member teams duke it out and there's a 4 on 4 involving mix and matching noms that were the sole representative of their hat type.  Teams for the 4 on 4 were selected by RNG with no attention given to balance.

  As an experiment, I'm implementing a crude form of damage scaling.  For every additional team member standing past the first, the team's attacks will do 10% less damage.  Up to a 30% damage reduction for 4 or more members not KOed.  True fractional damage (not subject to random variance, for instance) and special formulas (such as max HP - current HP revenge types) are not affected by damage scaling.  Recovery is also not subject to damage scaling.

3 on 3

Team Hair Ribbon: Hina Kagiyama (LoT2), Paula (EB), Flonne (Dis 5)
Team Fedora: Irvine (FF8), Greg (WA5), Yuber (Suiko3)

Mixed teams

Lucca (CT), Cristo (D5), Riesz (SD3), Princess Toadstool (SMRPG)
vs
Meladoul (FFT: WotL), Kain (FF4), Red Mage (FF5), Albert Simon (SH)

Team Hair Ribbon vs. Team Fedora - Paula is dead weight...  Flip side, so are Greg and Irvine.  Yuber has to kill Hina before she can get going, and then the team doesn't have the chops to get past Flonne soloing them.

Lucca (CT), Cristo (D5), Riesz (SD3), Princess Toadstool (SMRPG)
vs
Meladoul (FFT: WotL), Kain (FF4), Red Mage (FF5), Albert Simon (SH)

I...  Think?  Cristo existing makes evasion worthless for the lower team, but Cristo eats a Toad and Princess Toadstool can't block all of Red Mage's statuses.  The 25% comprehensive Evasion to everyone else from Cristo's Evilities could swing things, but I'm thinking it might not be enough?  Flipside, Cristo pops Mind Break on Red Mage to try to dumpster their status accuracy, since Cristo is fractionally faster..  I dunno, I'm swinging a lot of this, and am open to arguments.  My main thought is that top team is able to last just enough to see Lucca get a turn, and she sees 100% Hypno Wave so they can swing down Simon.

Team Hair Ribbon vs. Team Fedora - Not very familiar with the characters involved but gut says this is the way it will swing.  Irvine getting a Limit and using Armor Shot is team Fedora's only real hope of punching through Flonne defenses but that's asking a lot, even with increased Limit range from downed ally.

Lucca (CT), Cristo (D5), Riesz (SD3), Princess Toadstool (SMRPG)
vs
Meladoul (FFT: WotL), Kain (FF4), Red Mage (FF5), Albert Simon (SH)

  First team I guess between Hypno Wave, Riesz stat magic and Toadstool support.  Other team does have Meliadoul breaking stuff and Red Mage status and Albert so not clearcut.  Melly with Defense Ring and Flame is strong anti-Lucca tech so first team not quite cruising even if Hypno Wave goes off.  Lot of moving parts in this matchup.
