(Oh, right. I'm technically signed up for this....)

Without revealing too much on your end, what timezone are you in, CT5Holy?

I need to know so that I can procrastinate about this as long as possible...even if I'll probably have a team to you within the next hour or two. Maybe.

OF COURSE! EDIT: That didn't end up happening, but I probably won't procrastinate until the last minute. Probably.

Submitted a team. Probably will get knocked out first round considering I only tested it against 1 team.

Going out on a limb here, but:

For everyone submitting teams today (that are not revisions/updates), if there are mistakes, I will give you an extra day to fix your teams, as I will not be able to check teams until Sunday in 3 hours.

Deadline for submitting teams still holds. This is just in case there are mistakes for all you late-comers.

I figure it's only fair - I want as many people to participate as possible. I hope the hosts are ok with this?

I haven't tested mine at all. XD

Unlike what I normally do, I tested my team and spent a great deal of thought on it, even down to the ideal speed for my #4 unit given his move set....

...

...So of course I will lose twice immediately and be eliminated from the tournament. I know how things go with me. The day I go straight up RNG will be the day I bring home the gold.

I seem to recall getting walloped by you, FFMaster, in the last tournament I entered (though it may have been the one with my Cheesey Monk team instead). I would love a rematch, even if the outcome does not change :)

39 teams displayed as registered, and at least 4 more to come.  This tournament is going to have a lot of seeds by the current look of things.  I'll sort seeds by the results of last tournament.

dacheat

I'm guessing that it's too much work to do pools to determine seeding correct? That would be the best way, but that would be a lot more work, and I definitely understand why y'all wouldn't want to do that.

The Damned

(At the buzzer....)

Ha, I was totally being sarcastic about the last-minute thing, but between wasting my Saturdays like always, having to actually put things down in type to make sure I wasn't going over the JP cap (since I still use Excel 2003) and the forum being slow for me all of a sudden, that was almost a "thing". Sorry, CT5Holy.

Heh. That makes me sounded more invested than I actually am, but my crappy team is finally in, so that's one less thing to worry about. Still, I can't help but feel like I should have went with one of the (far) more damaging teams I had in mind, instead of going with Doku No Kyoukai just because formerdeathcorps' made mention of being unable to think of a way to redeem it.

Perhaps I should have left said redemption to someone who can actually make competent teams. Oh well. I'll probably lose Round 1 like FFMaster, so it shouldn't be around to bore anyone too terribly long.... [/rambling]

formerdeathcorps

You can redeem Doku no Kyoukai but you'll need to make your units really tanky.  Same with nameless song, I think.  If anything, Doku no Kyoukai is more usable than nameless.
The destruction of the will is the rape of the mind.
The dogmas of every era are nothing but the fantasies of those in power; their dreams are our waking nightmares.

The Damned

(Yeah, the AI is probably smarter about Doku No Kyoukai than Nameless. Probably.)

Oh, they're "really" tanky (theoretically, since I can't test on this crappy computer). It's more a matter of the fact that I ended up with little in the way of (active) healing, especially since I pretty much always used Arrow Guard even before Guns went apeshit over everyone. Probably should have given one of the girls HP Restore, but I have crap luck as it is, even before trying to rely on Critical-only triggers.

We'll see how much I fucked up soon enough, if only because my match will probably end up being 20~ minutes even if I "win".
