Must've deleted by accident >_<

A match requested by Wiz. I will be uploading more this weekend because I am busy right now with Christmas shopping and work so hopefully the wait won't be too long. Hope you like the intro to the 1.37 version of Arena you'll see at the beginning of the video. Also note, no music for this match as I have music for the other matches.

[doriantoki]

A special Barren series.

Barren (Deep Dungeon) vs. Pierce (FireWater)

Barren (Phantasy Star) vs. FDC (Losers)

Barren (Big Assault) vs. AeroGP (Cloud of Darkness)

[Barren]

spoiler: Deep Dungeon vs FireWater

Good back and forth matches Pierce, kind of surprised my team functioned well against your harder hitting team but hey it was about rolling the dice. GG Pierce

spoiler: Phantasy Star vs Losers

Kind of expected to get creamed considering the odds of evasion were in Losers' favor. GG fdc, very impressive team you have

spoiler: Big Assault vs Cloud of Darkness

Interesting concept Aero you got going on here, gave my team a hard time to take yours down but eventually I was able to. GG AeoGP, that was a good match

[Pierce]

spoiler: RavenOfRazgriz (Y U SO DERP) vs Wiz (Y U SO NOOB)

That was... painful. At 9 minutes into the video I was thinking "How is this possibly going to end in 7 minutes if things are moving so freaking slowly?" I wonder if the match would've ever finished.

spoiler: Barren (Deep Dungeon) vs. Pierce (FireWater)

Watching this match made me realize FireWater needs some serious revamping. GG Barren.

Cloud of Darkness is interesting on paper, but doesn't work that well in practice.  They need some physical damage in there somewhere, cause even if they managed to blind an entire physical opponent team, they would still have trouble taking down that team if they had access to say, Auto Potion.  That's my only suggestion there.

None of my teams do well against Auto-Potion. I'm adverse to big damage. =(

spoiler: me vs fdc

RNG love for me =/

[doriantoki]

Big Assault is the strongest team here ATM.  According to my calculations, it has a 100% (!!!) win rate.  So congratulations Barren, IMO you have a good shot at the title.

That is indeed good news

[Celdia]

spoiler: Y U SO DERP vs. Y U SO NOOB

Y U SO WASTE OF FUCKING TIME? I feel sorry for Barren having to record this fight. Wiz, he deserves an apology for that. That was atrocious. At least when I did it my team could seal the deal in under 15 minutes. -_-

spoiler: Holy Heretic vs. Doublemint

Abandon stopping your Knight right at the start of Round 1 clinched that one I think. If my Ninja had died there the fight would have been completely reversed with my units doing the sandbagging while you laid on the hurt, a la Round 2. Grand Cross finish was beautiful though. GG, PX. A++, would fight again. I'd like to see them go at it on other maps.

spoiler: Deep Dungeon vs. FireWater

This was a fun match to watch. Nice to see teams not using Reraise, actually. I thought Barren's Ninja having Punch Art was rather suboptimal in the first round but it made a better showing in Round 2.

[Barren]

Note that I did the videos before you decided to update/retire your team, hope you enjoy nonetheless

spoiler: Merciless Embrace (Me) vs. Odro de Veras Vitae (Fdc)

Cyclops!!! My lack of damage and poor map placement in round 1 really screwed me over. Not to mention the petrifys and charms from that dancer.  I always wondered why nobody uses Ultima, I then found out the answer from the two videos of this team. Anyway, GG Fdc.

[doriantoki]

spoiler: doriantoki (Serious Business) vs DomieV (Quick Hit)

Serious Business has been changed since the build you used in that video.  The archers now have item.  And thanks for the shield tip on the Squires, I don't know why, but I was under the assumption they couldn't equip shields.  I think there was talk of it, but it wasn't a change that was implemented.

spoiler: formerdeathcorps (Raiders) vs Pride (Tester)

Ouch.  fdc's team had that one from the first move both rounds, wow.
