I was fairly certain I would win this one though I had minor doubt I would. But still charm helped in the beginning and cursed ring...soo sooo soooo good. GG zotis. Good luck on the doom train


And leif, guess we are in for one hell of a battle coming up. Best of luck to you

Barren, you spoiled my match before I got to see it. :(
My Mediator was the MVP in this match. She shut down that Paladin before he could raise units back up.


Well, I will have to get lucky with status procs if I am to beat you Barren.

All I have to say is, what an upset.
Season 3 A.I. Tournament Champion

Otabo

Man, I knew it. I even went to a fortune teller and she warned me that darkness was about to befall my team because there was a traitor amongst them. I guess she was plotting revenge for me calling her stupid earlier. Seriously though, three berserks on that ninja? And THEY ALL LANDED? As if that wasn't enough to royally screw my team, the usual RNG shenanigans played its part at points, too. At least I got further than I expected. We get revenge on the doomtrain, ladies. It's a matter of time.

Dokurider

To be perfectly honest, I thought it was going to be Reinoe that was going to knock me onto the Doomtrain. I was not really expecting to win, let alone by such a wide margin. He had what it took to kill my mages and minimize the threat of Hornswoggle. I think Reinoe could have won the short map round if given a better close range map that would have allowed him to get to my mages easily.

CT5Holy


So many missed Charms for Otabo! More charms would have easily killed me.


Leif - what makes you think Dokurider vs reinoe was an upset?

I think people expected reinoe to win, especially reinoe himself. ;)

reinoe

blech.  That ninja should have used throw stone when the chemist was charging a comet.  I guess the Kagesougi was supposed to proc "Don't Act" in the ninja's mind though.  Oh stupid stupid A.I.  I wasn't going to win anyway.  Surprised that that summoner has no protection from spellguns, but clearly she didn't really need it.
My dreams can come true!

Dokurider

QuoteSurprised that that summoner has no protection from spellguns, but clearly she didn't really need it.


Well, she couldn't have it. I already gave my TM White Robe and my Thief Projectile Guard.


The Damned

(I'll catch up on those matches later tonight.)

We still need two from the first round of Losers anyway. I say I can't believe we're up to the second to last round of Winners already, but this is kinda what happened last Season, so....

I'll fully admit that I actually laughed aloud at the whole coffin metaphor towards the end. Throwing it into the sea seems like such pollution to the enviroment and at the same time not enough overkill though. Shame.

Anyway, as for the actual match itself, I hadn't really paid much attention to how fast Leif1991's whole team actually is even though I'm pretty sure it was pointed out earlier too. Despite the severe speed disadvantage, Mallen actually did decently well, mostly due to his sheer power. He might have actually won at least the first round had his Dancer used another Grand Cross instead of Iron Will upon getting up from her Angel Ring. Her tendency to go for Iron Will upon revival instead of that and Mallen's Lancer's ineffectual Songs are ultimately what cost him though, at least as far as his own team goes. After all, it's not like Leif1991's team is a slouch when it comes to damage either.

Regardless, I'd say those are the only real flaws on his team, though the White Magic Paladin is still a bit...odd to me. As such, I'm sure Mallen will win at least one match in Losers.

Yeah...Barren's pre-match verbatim commentary was pretty accurate: Zotis's team basically did just die to getting rushed down. So there's not really anything to say here, even for me. So (for once) I won't...save for admitting I'm disappointed that Frog missed, even if I doubt it would have changed anything, especially with Barren's Priest still up.

Rather a shame to see RedWorld go, but I figured it was over as soon as I saw that her (?) Oracle Chelle got OHKO'd by Priest T's Short Charge Holys. That Chelle kept trying to go for slower Petrifys anyway didn't help at all--even if she had hit, the Monk or Thief would have just undone it. Getting outsped and outdamaged was basically the name of the game here, though the Dancer was less influential than I expected. Rosario the Mediator getting mostly unlucky didn't help RedWorld either, especially when his weirdly high Brave meant he took the most damage of everyone on RedWorld's team for basically no reason; it's not like bags are ever killing units outside of Critical in most instances and Talk Skill eschews Brave and Faith.

Not much else to say except that I'm surprised the A.I. didn't go for any frivolous Breaks since it often does that even when it can probably outright kill. It's also nice to see someone use Tactician's Blade, especially on a unit that isn't a Teleport Draw Out-bot Geomancer.

This was a rather disappointing match, to be honest, if only because of how interesting the first round of it was. So that of course was spoiled by the Otabo's Monk supremeely shooting him in the foot thereafter; she basically blew his foot clean off really. I mean, damn, I thought Master Whisky was being extraordinally stupid with Insult on a Ninja, but Otabo's Monk did it thrice, so I feel slightly better now; it's probably because Insult is the only distance technique she has, which means that Master Whisky actually still has less of an excuse.... On top of that, she was basically ineffectual even when she wasn't being self-sabotaging what with the bag whacks and weak Chakras and zero attempts at Secret Fist. Oh well, depending on who he goes against in Losers, she might not weight him down nearly as much as she did here, especially since Berserk can have its place as a debuff obviously. It's just that said place is not against units with close-range attacks that are guaranteed to hit, especially if they have high Speed or Move or both--like Ninja--and especially on a team where all your units are (physically) squishy.

That said, going back to the first round, I'd quite readily argue that was the best round of the tournament thus far, especially since Seal Evil actually came in handy for once and from a Charmed unit at that. So Otabo at least gets a temporary sort of consolation prize I guess.

P.S. It's a bit darkly amusing that the one time his Priest finally decides to use Balance, Balance misses despite relatively high odds. This especially given it was actually a pretty damn good a tactical move on her part since it would have killed the Ninja; the A.I. usually heals itself in Critical even when it can use Balance to kill or at least send units to Critical. So, of course, one of the few times it foregoes healing....

Not much to say here either given I think this was the quickest match in the tournament thus far and it's just more evidence that Tornado is currently at least a tad too strong for how quick and widespread it is. Quake is obviously in mostly the same boat, except there at least Float can protect you without necessarily having to use an item space to absorb or null the offending element; still, all of the null or absorb Wind items are pretty good, so....

I'd also argue that it's arguably evidence that Dougola Pass might either need the starting coordinates changed or just need to be outright banned. That narrow corridor at the bottom where everyone now starts just gets utterly abused by any AoE, so it's absolutely no surprise that Dokurider won that the first round so swiftly despite the fact reinoe was using a Spellgun/Magic Gun. A large map didn't exactly save him from Tornado either though, especially since Cure 4's slow speed actually worked out for Dokurider, even with Short Charge.

(I loathe doubling posting, but I have "no" choice.)

Thanks for getting the matches out of the way quickly, TrueLight. It was nice to have my ass kicked to Guilty Gear's older OST at least, though I must admit my surprised to not hear anything from Xrd; that's probably just because I listened to it rather recently.

Anyway, as my thanks, I did something that I had intended to do a while ago and did the list of Active Abilities for you. I decided to be detailed about it given that I wasn't doing anything more productive anyway, so I listed everyone's names that used the ability in addition to the number of course. The first set of parentheses indicates the person used the ability as part of a unit's Primary and the second set of parentheses indicates the person used the ability as part of a unit's Secondary. I didn't bother making another set of parentheses for the few people who had duplicate skills sets on a team, like silentkaster having two Archers, though I was tempted to. (Eternal's name is in brackets twice under Basic Skill because those are skills his Squire was "supposed" to have, but that Barren never got around to fixing apparently, at least on the first page list.)

Needless to say, this took a while and Item was especially fucking annoying, excuse my (constant) profanity. (Numbered EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if I screwed up the numbers on some of these, especially since I apparently left the numbers off a few of them entirely.)

Bleh. Cursed Ring. I honestly completely forgot that Fenire's had it the first round given that Regen covered it up. I'm just so sick of seeing that thing, especially since I'm at least partly if not primarily to blame for getting it buffed to this point in the first place after how much it sucked originally. Sigh.

It totally looked like Eternal was going to win the first match too until the Undead Archer popped back up, even though Eternal got quite unlucky with Dragon Spirit in that round; the one time it did go off was in the second round where it didn't help at all.

Oh well. Eternal's team put up a valiant effort, especially for how "bizarre" it was. I see that Marche got fixed to at least have Bullrush and Throw Stone so he would use Quickening given that stupid ability is most of what he was using this match. Still, at least that got fixed before his elmination. So thanks for that too TrueLight.

...Why do Cover Fire and Ninjutsu trigger Faith Up? I guess that thing really does still tend to erroneously trigger off anything with that uses MP like it did in vanilla. I had forgotten that particular "error" though. Similarly I'm not used to seeing any of the Ninjutsu get Counter Magic'd, partly because Counter Magic is so rare and partly because people just tend to (ab)use Kagesougi when it comes Ninjutsu and nothing else.

I am, unfortunately, quite used to Consecration sucking for how expensive it is though. The second round at least had a pretty showy instance of it with the Paladin flying all the way to the top of the arch just to use it. There was still no substance to that flash, of course, given he missed, but it's the thought that counts I suppose.

Anyway, the first round could basically be summed up as whitebox being unable to sandbag in the face of gunfire, getting relatively unlucky with the damage on Cover Fire and getting distracted by the Undead Monk too much. The second round is kind of the same thing, except that whitebox didn't get as unlucky with anything save for still not being able to avoid Secret Fist. Well that and the Priest leading off with Protect 2, which is extremely effective against whitebox's team, over Shell 2. Given she used Protect 2 first twice, I have to think that the A.I. maybe really does go in list order, meaning that the Protects take slight priority over the Shells if you have both skills unless some MA-based attack is charging.

Regardless, Cursed Ring yet again rears its ugly head, though in a far more passive way than in the match just before this. This makes me rather glad at least Phoenix Blade is dying since it effectively does the same obnoxious thing.

Fortunately Dragonblade's team can deal with the Undead quite handily in theory and I was rooting for him anyway. Unfortunately, he is going against Reks, who I also rather would not see eliminated this early, and is using a Cursed Ring himself because you can't really fight it without using it, just like Quickening unfortunately.

Getting on to the actual match, I'm surprised that the Dancer got hit with Seal Evil and didn't get immediately healed in the first round. Then again, the only person on Reks's team who can deal with Petrify status is the Priest, who basically got hit by Sleep shortly after. I'm unsure why she felt the need to go for a non-lethal Cure 4 on the Undead Archer, however, instead of an Esuna on her own Dancer in the first place, even with if it did send the Archer into Critical.

Equally weird to see the Sleep spell actually be key to victory in the first round since A.I. usually screws it up even when it does hit and Mimic Daravon tends to outclass it as such. Still, it put the Priest and the Samurai to sleep in one go and the Samurai is easily the most damaging units on Reks's team. After that, the Squire, for all this dodging, couldn't really do a damn thing in the first round.

The Squire was similarly ineffective in the second round even though Reks's team won that due to the Samurai and the Priest staying up. The Squire got hit by a 36% Zombie and then got hit by an about 65% Raise 2 shortly there after. Poor guy. It's even more humorous given that shortly after that, the Dancer causally dodges the Consecration thrown at her even though it came at 87%. I swear, Consecration is like one of those useless wedding-related--but I repeat myself--items: far too expensive for the singular, non-guaranteed use it purports to wastefully serve.

The third round, though, had Squire arguably make the difference just because Charm can be so strong at times. Not that Reks's team wasn't dominating the round before that given the Dancer finally got some extremely high-damaging Jumps off. It also helped Reks immensely that Dragonblade's team had little choice but to waltz into the Samurai's overpowered AoE due to the funnel that map has on the bridge and how the A.I. (blindly) functions. Hell, Reks won the third round so quickly that the Undead Archer didn't even have a chance to get back up.

I'll admit that I'm slightly surprised to see Reks win since I thought Dragonblade was slightly favored just due to all the anti-Undead stuff he has. Mind you, I'm glad to see Reks win. I just find it both slightly amusing and exasperated that both of the teams that Dragonblade lost had Undead units on them. It's unfortunate to see one of the more varied teams go, especially so early in the tournament.

Honestly, I'm surprised that I held out for so long, especially given how horrible most of my healing actually is. It was pretty obvious that Vigilanti was going to beat me, but I certainly didn't it expect it to be this close. I was helped out a lot by Death Sentence not being formally canceled by Reraise and vice versa and his A.I. being dumb about some things. I was helped quite a bit by the Geomancer getting Slept so early on in the first round since she's the most dangerous unit on his team.

I might have even actually won given how long I held out if my team could do any damn damage. Not sure why I keep making teams that rely so heavily on luck when my luck is so notoriously bad; I think I have complexity addiction like some bad Saturday morning cartoon villain. The same goes for making too many teams with Sing on them just because I can, as tempting as it is; hell, all of the new teams I just made had Sing them without consciously realizing it--gonna change that within the next few hours.

I've also certainly had more humilating defeats to less well-made teams to music that wasn't (mostly) from Guilty Gear. So I'm fine with this loss, especially since Vigilanti's team isn't using bog standard stuff and he's the only person using Defender or Ultima, both of which worked out quite well for him. This even if my own Insult and Holy worked out for the Paladin and the Squire better overall.

Speaking of Monks being stupid with Insult yet again, we both got surprisingly lucky with Talk Skill. Pretty much every instance of Talk Skill hit except for the opening Mimic Daravon in the second round, which probably would have only delayed the inevitable.

Oh well. As crappy as my team is, it at least got to show how powerful Sleep can be in its Losers matches. I still wonder what the best way to fix this team would be. Hmmm....

Regardless, well met, Vigilanti. Thank you for ending me. Shame it couldn't have been before I beat Asakawa, but I suppose it's nice to not have the team be a complete failure, even if I still feel a bit guilty about lucking out so hard against her.

(I loathe doubling posting, but I have "no" choice.)

Thanks for getting the matches out of the way quickly, TrueLight. It was nice to have my ass kicked to Guilty Gear's older OST at least, though I must admit my surprised to not hear anything from Xrd; that's probably just because I listened to it rather recently.

Anyway, as my thanks, I did something that I had intended to do a while ago and did the list of Active Abilities for you. I decided to be detailed about it given that I wasn't doing anything more productive anyway, so I listed everyone's names that used the ability in addition to the number of course. The first set of parentheses indicates the person used the ability as part of a unit's Primary and the second set of parentheses indicates the person used the ability as part of a unit's Secondary. I didn't bother making another set of parentheses for the few people who had duplicate skills sets on a team, like silentkaster having two Archers, though I was tempted to. (Eternal's name is in brackets twice under Basic Skill because those are skills his Squire was "supposed" to have, but that Barren never got around to fixing apparently, at least on the first page list.)

Needless to say, this took a while and Item was especially fucking annoying, excuse my (constant) profanity. (Numbered EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if I screwed up the numbers on some of these, especially since I apparently left the numbers off a few of them entirely.)

Anyway, moving onto commentary, I did those too of course. Be warned that if you're destroying your eyes with these for some reason (Reks), then a lot of this set is me grousing about Cursed Ring being so overpowered. You've been warned:

Bleh. Cursed Ring. I honestly completely forgot that Fenire's had it the first round given that Regen covered it up. I'm just so sick of seeing that thing, especially since I'm at least partly if not primarily to blame for getting it buffed to this point in the first place after how much it sucked originally. Sigh.

It totally looked like Eternal was going to win the first match too until the Undead Archer popped back up, even though Eternal got quite unlucky with Dragon Spirit in that round; the one time it did go off was in the second round where it didn't help at all.

Oh well. Eternal's team put up a valiant effort, especially for how "bizarre" it was. I see that Marche got fixed to at least have Bullrush and Throw Stone so he would use Quickening given that stupid ability is most of what he was using this match. Still, at least that got fixed before his elmination. So thanks for that too TrueLight.

...Why do Cover Fire and Ninjutsu trigger Faith Up? I guess that thing really does still tend to erroneously trigger off anything with that uses MP like it did in vanilla. I had forgotten that particular "error" though. Similarly I'm not used to seeing any of the Ninjutsu get Counter Magic'd, partly because Counter Magic is so rare and partly because people just tend to (ab)use Kagesougi when it comes Ninjutsu and nothing else.

I am, unfortunately, quite used to Consecration sucking for how expensive it is though. The second round at least had a pretty showy instance of it with the Paladin flying all the way to the top of the arch just to use it. There was still no substance to that flash, of course, given he missed, but it's the thought that counts I suppose.

Anyway, the first round could basically be summed up as whitebox being unable to sandbag in the face of gunfire, getting relatively unlucky with the damage on Cover Fire and getting distracted by the Undead Monk too much. The second round is kind of the same thing, except that whitebox didn't get as unlucky with anything save for still not being able to avoid Secret Fist. Well that and the Priest leading off with Protect 2, which is extremely effective against whitebox's team, over Shell 2. Given she used Protect 2 first twice, I have to think that the A.I. maybe really does go in list order, meaning that the Protects take slight priority over the Shells if you have both skills unless some MA-based attack is charging.

Regardless, Cursed Ring yet again rears its ugly head, though in a far more passive way than in the match just before this. This makes me rather glad at least Phoenix Blade is dying since it effectively does the same obnoxious thing.

Fortunately Dragonblade's team can deal with the Undead quite handily in theory and I was rooting for him anyway. Unfortunately, he is going against Reks, who I also rather would not see eliminated this early, and is using a Cursed Ring himself because you can't really fight it without using it, just like Quickening unfortunately.

Getting on to the actual match, I'm surprised that the Dancer got hit with Seal Evil and didn't get immediately healed in the first round. Then again, the only person on Reks's team who can deal with Petrify status is the Priest, who basically got hit by Sleep shortly after. I'm unsure why she felt the need to go for a non-lethal Cure 4 on the Undead Archer, however, instead of an Esuna on her own Dancer in the first place, even with if it did send the Archer into Critical.

Equally weird to see the Sleep spell actually be key to victory in the first round since A.I. usually screws it up even when it does hit and Mimic Daravon tends to outclass it as such. Still, it put the Priest and the Samurai to sleep in one go and the Samurai is easily the most damaging units on Reks's team. After that, the Squire, for all this dodging, couldn't really do a damn thing in the first round.

The Squire was similarly ineffective in the second round even though Reks's team won that due to the Samurai and the Priest staying up. The Squire got hit by a 36% Zombie and then got hit by an about 65% Raise 2 shortly there after. Poor guy. It's even more humorous given that shortly after that, the Dancer causally dodges the Consecration thrown at her even though it came at 87%. I swear, Consecration is like one of those useless wedding-related--but I repeat myself--items: far too expensive for the singular, non-guaranteed use it purports to wastefully serve.

The third round, though, had Squire arguably make the difference just because Charm can be so strong at times. Not that Reks's team wasn't dominating the round before that given the Dancer finally got some extremely high-damaging Jumps off. It also helped Reks immensely that Dragonblade's team had little choice but to waltz into the Samurai's overpowered AoE due to the funnel that map has on the bridge and how the A.I. (blindly) functions. Hell, Reks won the third round so quickly that the Undead Archer didn't even have a chance to get back up.

I'll admit that I'm slightly surprised to see Reks win since I thought Dragonblade was slightly favored just due to all the anti-Undead stuff he has. Mind you, I'm glad to see Reks win. I just find it both slightly amusing and exasperated that both of the teams that Dragonblade lost had Undead units on them. It's unfortunate to see one of the more varied teams go, especially so early in the tournament.

Honestly, I'm surprised that I held out for so long, especially given how horrible most of my healing actually is. It was pretty obvious that Vigilanti was going to beat me, but I certainly didn't it expect it to be this close. I was helped out a lot by Death Sentence not being formally canceled by Reraise and vice versa and his A.I. being dumb about some things. I was helped quite a bit by the Geomancer getting Slept so early on in the first round since she's the most dangerous unit on his team.

I might have even actually won given how long I held out if my team could do any damn damage. Not sure why I keep making teams that rely so heavily on luck when my luck is so notoriously bad; I think I have complexity addiction like some bad Saturday morning cartoon villain. The same goes for making too many teams with Sing on them just because I can, as tempting as it is; hell, all of the new teams I just made had Sing them without consciously realizing it--gonna change that within the next few hours.

I've also certainly had more humilating defeats to less well-made teams to music that wasn't (mostly) from Guilty Gear. So I'm fine with this loss, especially since Vigilanti's team isn't using bog standard stuff and he's the only person using Defender or Ultima, both of which worked out quite well for him. This even if my own Insult and Holy worked out for the Paladin and the Squire better overall.

Speaking of Monks being stupid with Insult yet again, we both got surprisingly lucky with Talk Skill. Pretty much every instance of Talk Skill hit except for the opening Mimic Daravon in the second round, which probably would have only delayed the inevitable.

Oh well. As crappy as my team is, it at least got to show how powerful Sleep can be in its Losers matches. I still wonder what the best way to fix this team would be. Hmmm....

Regardless, well met, Vigilanti. Thank you for ending me. Shame it couldn't have been before I beat Asakawa, but I suppose it's nice to not have the team be a complete failure, even if I still feel a bit guilty about lucking out so hard against her.


I read a lot of books and TV Tropes, so reading longer posts and descriptions is nothing to me :P

Plus, you ARE the one who takes the most time and thought to write these. I love reading them and appreciate you for that.


EDIT: After reading through the abilities list, I'm rather surprised that Wizard skills were next to unused.

The Damned

(Yeah, catching up on Zotis's videos for him seems like a necessary evil. It's possible he lost Internet for a bit like what happened for a bit when we did Season 2, though I got my videos in, so....)

I'm not really surprised that Black Magic is so unused: Death and Flare kinda suck currently and the level 2--technically 3--series of spells are rather too slow compared to the damage they do that the level 1 and Nether spells--technically level 2--can near match anyway more quickly. On top of that, Wizards are still squishy as hell and I'm sure I wasn't the only person thinking that there would be even more instances of Spellguns (and Cursed Ring) than there actually are. The only thing about Wizards that surprise me with regard to the tournament is that there are more of them than Scholars despite the fact that Scholars still have Wizard+ stats and equipment.

As for what surprises me about the abilities used, there are four things provided I didn't (horribly) miscount:


1. No one at least is using Focus, which is the only ability I find it weird that's at 0.
2. There's less Grand Cross than I was expecting.
3. There's far less Hawk's Eye than I was expecting.
4. No one is using Elemental as a Secondary.


I suppose it's also weird to see that if I had gone with the Bollywood team, then I'd literally be the only person using Slow Dance in this tournament despite the fact that  it's easily the Dance ability that got the greatest boost from the current format. After all, the thing that troubles it most is the even more overpowered Quickening, but Quickening is only limited to one unit now rather than two, so....

Fenire

That was an intense match. It all came down to poison on your white mage in round one with bad luck on the monk's attempts to revive. Projectile guard won me round two. Your blaze gun archer had me really worried. GG silentkaster.
