Sadly, I'll have to spend post 1000 to bring some bad news.

I can't upload further videos until I return home for the weekend.  My current upload speed at school is at best 10 kB/s (if nothing else is taking up bandwidth) and my wireless resets every 4 hours.  Videos are 100 MB on average, meaning that on average, if nothing goes wrong (no sudden network activity, no lag, and no problems with YT arbitrarily cutting off my video), it'll take 3 hours to upload, per video.   28 * 3 = 3.5 days of continuous internet activity, MINIMUM.  In reality, this process may take as long as 2 weeks, as it did for Round 1.
At home, I have an upload speed of around 100 kB/s so I can reasonably finish such videos over a much shorter period of time.

That's still very slow. You're better off going to your public library and uploading there or another hotspot, which will save you a lot more time. At 20 mbps, I'm able to upload a ~250 MB vid in about 2 min.

Win. :P

It doesn't quite matter since at home, no one really uses the computer but me.  I just leave it on to upload 26 videos while I go to work, do homework, or eat dinner.  It'll be done in 8-12 hours, which is perfectly fine if the majority of that time is spent away from the computer.  At the end of the day, the videos are done and I'll be able to return to my dorm.

EDIT: My roommate has an Ethernet cable in his room.  That thing uploads at a speed comparable to my home connection so if I get my own, I should be able to simply upload 26 videos while I sleep.  In the future, that may be a more practical solution.

Huh, Iron boots were sort of a backfire since Dol's focused much of their attention towards the Samurais at first.


Aww, I though Angelus had him in the tiebreaker, but those simple raises going off faster than Bahamut really sealed the deal imo.


Damn, what a massacre that was


6x Slow Dance ftw :O


Seriously, the purple palette, #5, need to go. I was surprised to see Bladewolf's monk not using Earth Slash on that Wizard


Damn, those rounds were long and boring towards the end of each of them. And yeah, a Paladin with a gun doesn't seem like the best of choices to me imo.


To be expected, I designed this and my other team to take down Y U SO DERP. It's kinda the new bar I set for myself: If you can't take out this team whilst beating everyone else in the process (luckily I've done that so far), then you're better off not participating. But that's just me pushing myself. Surprised to see Disillusion and would think it'd be more effective on larger maps. Perhaps a rematch of sorts on the Public Cemetary, VALKYRIES, and Zigolis Swamp? Just a thought


Damn, not enough charm procs were hitting + that Paladin and Scholar really layed the smack down whilst the Oracle Petrified people with Initial:Faith intact.

Samurais went down pretty fast.  Critical hits ftw.  Auto-Potion, always a good anti-dance and anti-lore.


My first mime works really well in sync with that mime.  Well though out team.  Raise 2 saves the day second round (raise 2 certainly seems to be a tide turner in many matches).  Bad luck with RNG second round for Norm :o.


Ouch, pretty mismatched.  Summon goes right through those Reflect Mails, and that's obviously what raped my team to hell and back.


Dance dance revolution!


That wizard needs short charge.  The charm that second round, too, was pretty bad.  We need to stop using that black palette, IMO.


Hilarious match.  Losers definitely have survival power.  Paladin and chemist not particularly impressive damage ...


♫"I fought the law, and the, law won"♫, as well, "Lay this team to waste".  Awesome match.


That first map really worked in Heretics' favor.  But it's a better team over, just IMO.

So uh, that's an old version of Iron Will. >_> Most updated version has a Dancing Monk iirc in place of a Mime.
Next time! No need for rematch or anything (although it'd be appreciated if it was featured against another team)

Remind me to change the name of Baka to Fool.  There's no need to resort to Japanese when there's plenty of English synonyms.


This is somewhat of an inside joke, though it's also me running out of good offensive ideas, so I made Y U SO DERP-lite.  I apologize if this is a departure from my usual style (though it won't matter since 134 will rewrite the rules and I'll have to remake almost every team from scratch).

It seems like a perfectly kosher strategy; emphasize defense.  To be honest, there aren't many shades of it in other teams.  It was definitely something I had in mind when creating certain teams though, such as the Reflect Mail clad Oracles in my Vampire Hunters team.  I wanted that to be a defense against most black magic and status magic attacks.  But as you can see, Summon raped a hole right through that.  Also, I wanted my Thieves to be similarly indestructible in my Blade Runner team.  And like Losers, I found that you tend to rely on status infliction in such a situation, as regular attacks just won't do enough damage.

I would take that bet and somehow take your money, I'm sure.

Since most of us have changed our teams for 135, I will be discontinuing the Round Robin.

BARREN Y U DO DIS.  HAS 4 TEAMS, U DO DIS PAIR INSTEAD.


Empty Panel Jump, weee.

4th slot NOGIAS is a much better Jumper, as I told you before.


Touch fuzzy, get Ninja'd for being a fucking heretic.

END is still a horrible map, by the by.  It might be cool if you had been fighting with two teams that had four units that fared okay on their own, but Celdia's team isn't one of them.  (DomieV's is, at least partially, so it was a foregone conclusion he was winning that the second it showed the formation.)


Watch the rest later.

Damn! That 658 damage Ice Brand hurt! The worst part about it was that the squire had bad compact with my lancer... Anyway, GG Angelus

Glad to see this team finally getting a victory. GG Barren.

God damn that jumping Monk!!! 358 damage neutral compat, ouch! imagine if that was good or best compat! Well GG Barren, that was a fun match


Gotta say I was surprised I won the first match so swiftly especially since sometimes the AI doesn't always stand at the right position with ninjitsu especially when mimicking it. R2 was lolz, GG Celdia, I like your team a lot[/spoiler\

Surprising comeback from Dol in round 1. Pretty fun match overall.


Those were some big damage Jumps from that Monk :o
And the Bio 3 redirect was quite funny.


I really should watch more of these. Especially since the new version's out.
By the by, I've updated my post in the team submissions thread.
Thanks again Barren, fdc, and anyone else who does videos!

This is the kind of thing that happens when you don't test your teams at all. Oh well. It was a cute idea but I'm not sure I'm going to refine it any. Good match, DomieV.

And for the record, I like the set up on END. Its interesting.
