Puny Cup Qualifying Topic #4

[Sir Donald 3.2]

We have run through 3/4ths of the qualifying class for the Puny Cup.  Twelve Punies, One Leauge Jeering

For each of the 4 mini-groups, the questions are the same:

1-2.  Which Fighter would have the best chance to win a match and which is the most fail?  (You may answer this 2-parter in list format)

3.  Which fighter has the most interesting quirk? (And what is that quirk?)

4.  Which fighter would you like to fight other punies?

1. Rody if you allow him to take off the Wall rune!
2. Rody if you don't allow him to take off the Wall rune!
3. Rody, because of the Wall rune!

[Dhyerwolf]

Group 1:  Rating of 1.50-1.69 (excluding Palmer who beat someone better)
1. Blank, who is okay or Malak, who is a headache

[OblivionKnight]

1-2.  Which Fighter would have the best chance to win a match and which is the most fail?  (You may answer this 2-parter in list format)

3.  Which fighter has the most interesting quirk? (And what is that quirk?)

4.  Which fighter would you like to fight other punies?

Group 1:  Rating of 1.50-1.69 (excluding Palmer who beat someone better)
FF9   Blank
Lunar2   Gwyn
FFT   Malak Galthana
S2   Mukumuku
WA4   Augst Henriksen
WA2   Liz

1-2. Bestest would be Augst, with massive physical durability via resistance and elemental defenses.  Worstest would be Blank.

3. Augst, being IMMOBILE MEAT WALL OF DOOM!!!

4. Mukumuku, for Mukumuku is awesome!

Group 2:  Rating of 1.40-1.49 plus Shiho who once beat Palmer
VP1   Shiho
S1   Krin
S3   Kenji
FE7   Renault
S5   Alenia
VP1   Badrach

1-2. RenaultAll kick the most ass here by far.  Worst...probably Krin (1 rune slot sucks for S1)

3. Shiho, Wait Reaction being her only damage (if allowed)...and if not, she auto-loses since she can't act!  It's awesome fail!

4. Alenia, for she is hot

Group 3:  Rating of 1.15-1.39 from Suikoden 3
Lulu
Rody
Kogoro
Koichi
Koroku
Connie

1-2. Connie is the best with Pale Gate power. Lulu is the worst (Suikoden temp BEFORE YOU CAN GET RUNES!  sucks to be him)

3. Best is Connie, being a dog who loves strawberries.  And summoning demonic powers.

4. Connie, for she is hot.

Group 4:  Rating of 1.15-1.39 from the other games (excluding Shiho above)
SH2   Lucia
Lunar1   Ramus Farmain
CC   Solt
XG   Big Joe
BoF1   Gobi
S5   Euram Barows

1-2. Big Joe is the best by far.  Worst is...probably Gobi.

3. Coolest quirk is Lucia's Tarot Cards and Oils

4. BIG JOE DESERVES TO RETURN TO THE RING!

[alanna82]

Group 1:
1. Blank (not a puny)
2. Mukumuku? Dont know Augst though
3. Malak- Parasitic healing
4. Malak

Group 2:
1. Alenia? Shes not THAT bad.
2. Badrach
3. Shiho! Infinite healing but only wait reaction for damage
4. Shiho!

Group 3:
1. Lulu- Not a puny or even maybe a light.
2. Connie
3. Rody- Wall rune >_>
4. Connie- she like strawberries

Group 4:
1. Lucia By Far!
2. Euram- Worse than his support
3. Lucia- Tarot Cards
4. Lucia- because I like her

[Dark Holy Elf]

Group 1:
Best: Malak. Sadly.
Worst: Augst. Can't actually win.
Quirk: Malak. See Dhyer.
Fun: Liz, especially if it's an FFA.

Group 2:
Best: Krin. Speeed.
Worst: Uh... epic slapfight here. Badrach, offhand.
Quirk: Shiho.
Fun: Sure, Shiho.

Group 3:
Best: Lulu. Various ways to scale him but it's hard to see him below Rody or Suikodogs.
Worst: Connie.
Quirk: Kogoro's Freeze.
Fun: Kogoro.

Group 4:
Best: Lucia.
Worst: Euram. Big Joe's arguably similar, but Euram is this bad regardless of interps.
Quirk: Lucia's buffs. Pretty unquirky group otherwise.
Fun: Lucia

Yeah I'm practically copying Dhyer.

If Augst cant win matches than why was he ranked? I dont know him since I havent played the game, but just curious on this. Why hasnt he been booted then?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

We didn't know he couldn't win matches back then, and have fun starting a movement to get Augst booted at -this- point (I mean, who -would- care?). It was discovered his damage was purely gravity a good three years after WA4 was ranked, and then, depending on how you view match ties, he can still win matches (by virtue of who does more damage as a tiebreak. Tal, for an instance, doesn't adopt this view, but I do), etc. It'd be more elegant to not have him ranked had we known this all along, but them's the breaks.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Gotta have -someone- who can lose to Jogurt?!

[alanna82]

Gotta have -someone- who can lose to Jogurt?!

Shiho can lose to Jogurt since wait reaction doesnt hit Hampsters in game >_> Jogurt wins the tie break since he CAN deal damage.
