FFT Arena SCC AI Tournament Round 3 Block B - Toshiko vs Dokurider

[Dokurider]

spoiler: Eternal vs The Damned

Can't honestly say this was a surprise. Low HP Mages versus high damage guns and the mages just didn't have enough defenses against Guns. Not much else can be said.

spoiler: Reinoe vs Reks

Reks failed completely to bring any kind of status protection, most notably, Silence. It allowed Reinoe to completely shut down Reks and just toy with the poor Bards. It was like a Torture movie rendered in game form.

spoiler: Me vs Toshiko

And as I predicted, I lost. It seems my team's greatest weakness are teams that as fast or faster that me. As long as they can deal some kind of damage, they can win. There was also some serious luck in play here with Mimic Daravon and Death Sentence. Regardless, you've done well Toshiko. GG

[reinoe]

spoiler: Ninja vs Thieves

It's interesting because stylistically, Ninjas and Thieves are very similar.  Furthermore these two teams both utilized a slew of status effects to complement their abilities.  The ninja's status effects tended to pan out better.  After the brutalization my team faced against the Thieves, I thought for sure the Thieves would go undefeated in this round.  But still the teams were similar so it's no real shock that the ninja's pulled this out.  Curiously none of the ninjas used ninjitsu,the -tons, or kagesougi.

spoiler: Mediators vs Time Mages

Well the mediators shot people for a ton of damage to the surprise of nobody.

spoiler: Bards vs Oracles

Admittedly I thought I was going to lose round two when the double petrify went off.  That's because I thought the Oracle with Item was the one turned to stone.  So my team can win but only when everything is absolutely in my favor.  Ok I'll take it.  I was feeling a bit in the dumps when I realized I mad some errors on my team.

FFT Arena SCC AI Tournament Round 3 Block B - Toshiko vs Dokurider

spoiler: Mediators vs Time Mages

Well two units with 1000 Range, 100% accuracy, one-hitting every enemy unit/full Hp-restore of friendly units.- Nothing more to say.

spoiler: Oracles vs Bards

Nice use of the status spells

spoiler: thiefes vs Ninjas

i like watching those Ninjas. Nice to see that they are even capable of winning battles

[TrueLight]

spoiler: Eternal vs Damned

Those Time Mages tried their best to stay alive, but then the Short Edge started inflicting Oil. Then the gunners got in range and yeah...

spoiler: Reks vs reinoe

Those Oracles can get nasty if given the chance.

spoiler: Toshiko vs Dokurider

The battle of speed. The Ninjas eventually overwhelmed the Thieves and they just couldn't recover.

Please wait for some of the matches to be uploaded and processed. thanks for you patience

[Dol]

Please wait for the match with Dol to be uploaded and processed, cause they are always long as hell. thanks for your patience

Fixed.

Sorry Barren, I know long matches arent much fun to cast and compile.  The late game setup was the only one I found that let the Samurai have a chance to compete against a variety of teams. 

You've done a great job with the tournament though, kudos to you!

[FFMaster]

Pew pew, pew pew!

Glacier guns!

[TrueLight]

spoiler: AeroGP vs Pride

Those Priest took lots of head shots...

spoiler: Dol vs Angelus

Dol sandbags his way to victory. There were timely Bizen Boats and those Samurais accumulated lots of PA/MA

spoiler: Me vs Avalanche

That went better than expected. Ninjas actually dodged some Draw Out in round 1 and the Geomancers couldn't put down my "healers." Unfortunately in rounds 2/3, my luck ran out. Small maps are brutal combined with Draw Out and my team couldn't tank long enough. Bizen Boat puts the dagger on my hopes of a comeback. GG Avalanche. 

[The Damned]

(For some reason I thought were at Block D already. Probably due to how hard I got my ass kicked [as I predicted].)

Hmmm...Dol's match isn't as long as I expected, thankfully. I think that goes doable after the match of DomieV's I recorded yesterday. Ugh. I'll try and have that up tonight.

I'll wait to comment on things until this Round ends as a whole.

FFT Arena SCC AI Tournament Round 3 Block D - RavenOfRazgriz vs Malroth

FFT Arena SCC AI Tournament Round 3 Block D - CT5Holy vs Otabo

[CT5Holy]

spoiler: me vs Otabo

Haha, when I saw the match was only 6 minutes, I thought I won for sure, especially after R1. But Salamander + low HP = problem. gg~

[Malroth]

spoiler: "me vs Raven"

My physical attackers had good compat vs his team and my healers had bad compat, a bad combination for him concidering i both outsped him and had more status pressure

[TrueLight]

spoiler: FDC vs NinjaWeazel

FDC just had too much DPS

spoiler: Raven vs Malroth

That poor immortal Lancer. Gunners sniped from a distance and Cover Fire seals the deal.

spoiler: CT5Holy vs Otabo

Well timed Paralyzes really helped Otabo in his comeback.

[Otabo]

spoiler: me vs Otabo

Haha, when I saw the match was only 6 minutes, I thought I won for sure, especially after R1. But Salamander + low HP = problem. gg~

spoiler

That is exactly how I thought. I was like, "A six minute match - welp, I'm 1-2 now." GG, though.

[The Damned]

(Damn it, I had wanted to wait to comment on Round 3 as a whole until I watched all the matches, but I might forget this while I finally get around to watching Block C.)

Thanks for the videos and everything as always, Barren.

However, I think we may have a significant problem with CT5Holy vs. Otabo's match:

spoiler: CT5Holy vs. Otabo

According to Gaignun's map divisions, which I'm only guessing you're going by (since that's what I've been going by for my videos), TERMINATE IS A LARGE MAP. This when the "tiebreaker" round is supposed to take place on a middle map.

That in and of itself might not be too problematic considering that CT5Holy won on the first Large map but then lost on the second one, but how he lost is also somewhat problematic. He lost largely because Counter Flood Sand Storm proc'd Stop instead of the Berserk it's "supposed" to proc, which his unit would have otherwise blocked due to Reflect Ring. That's not your fault, of course, but that just sits as rather "wrong" to me, especially when combined with the above and the match being rather close.

So...yeah. Not to instigate anything (for the hell of it), but it would nag me if I didn't say anything otherwise.

There is no problem. I lost because, as I said, Salamander + Elemental easily killed off my low HP units.

Also, Terminate functions kinda like a small or medium map in that the teams reach each other quickly, and honestly it really doesn't matter.

Otabo has Geomancers, not squires, but thank you for posting the scores so far

Anyone have any predictions going forward in this tournament? Round 4 is very pivotal for anyone who may be in the lead right nor or trying to catch up because 2-1 or 3-0 is not a safe lead by any means
