Frog, Tails, Kaos, Claire Redfield and Nisha have challenged Crono, Tidus, Juliet Starling, Geese Howard and Neclord to a fight! Location of the fight: Luca Sphere Pool - The sphere pool blitzball tournaments take place in. Combatants do not have access to any other part of the stadium. All mercenaries will magically be able to breathe an infinite amount of time, though how well they can fight underwater is up to interpretation. Each team will start where one of the goalies would, respectively.. Which side will win?


Guidelines

- The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence). Gameplay mechanics are less important than how the characters would function in a real-time environment.
- The members of each team are ideal teammates capable of a pre-selected plan of battle.
- "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion.
- There may be SPOILERS from all of the games the characters are from.

Rules for Voting

-Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags).
-You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.
-Leaders cannot vote for their own teams (and players from the same pool may not vote as well), but they are free to argue their case.
-If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.
-This match will end in 24 hours.
-The following conventions are in use for match topics: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/570224-mercs/75290480/878106427


Frog is as he appears in Chrono Trigger, with access to the upgraded Masamune, though it won't split mountains or anything like that. Additionally he's equipped with a Regal Plate, Master's Crown, and Prism Specs. He has come to battle with the Star Dragon Sword. The Star Dragon Sword retains its sentience and can (and will) freely communicate with anyone in the fight, though it will not otherwise act of its own will. It acts as an ideal teammate but will, however, refuse to be wielded by anyone other than its chosen wielder for the fight.

Tails is as he appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, with all of his abilities but does not have access to any of his mechanical creations.

Kaos is as seen in Skylanders: Trap Team in his final boss battle, with access to all of his powers seen within.

Claire is as seen in Resident Evil Revelations 2, equipped with a survival knife, MP-AB50, Shotgun M147S and one of each kind of craftable grenade.

Nisha is as she appears in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. She is assumed to be max level, focusing in the Fan the Hammer tree, and equipped with Law, Order, Maggie, Unforgiven and the Sheriff's Badge.

~VS~

Crono is as he appears in Chrono Trigger (DS), with his best non-broken equipment and all his techs save for Life. Dual/Triple techs with other Crono Trigger characters are allowed.

Juliet Starling is as she appears in Lollipop Chainsaw, with all her abilities and upgrades, including those utilising Nick, with the exception of the Chainsaw Blaster. She also cannot activate Star Soul Power. Nisha has demanded that Juliet fight like a woman, and only bring the handguns in her arsenal. She has been given a generic pistol to use. She will have no other weapons for the fight.

Tidus is as seen in the endgame of Final Fantasy X, with the entirety of his path down the normal sphere grid maxed out, and access to all his overdrives. He also has access to his moves from the Dissidia series, though the brave/HP mechanics do not apply. He has his Caladbolg and best non-broken armor.

Geese Howard is as he appears in the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters series, with all of his moves available.

Neclord is as seen in Suikoden II, with all of his attacks shown in Suikoden I and Suikoden II. He retains his extreme resistance to damage from non-holy based magic and weapons from the Moon Rune, as well as any attacks seen in the gameplay granted by the rune. However, he will lose these resistances if struck by the Star Dragon Sword and cannot otherwise use the rune for curses or anything else.

---

Returned through time, Tidus has come back to haunt his old team, seeking revenge! FIGHT!

Tails, Claire, Juliet, Geese: All worthless

Tidus: Obviously really good here

Neclord: Vampires don't typically do well underwater, do they? Also, pretty sure a swarm of bats can't swim too well, so he's gonna be a sitting duck

Crono: Probably can't maneuver too well either. Also, Crono isn't the type to want to even possibly hurt his friends, so he might be hesitant to use his lightning magic as there's no telling how it will function underwater.

Nisha: Potentially not worthless? Borderlands guns are crazy enough that they might function underwater.

Frog: Probably just as good as Tidus. He's a fucking frog, and water is his magic element. Plus he has a lot of healing. Shouldn't be hard to get a blow on Neclord with the Star Dragon Sword

Kaos: Amazing. One of his attacks is literally summoning Touhou-style waves of energy sharks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QZK_YSNX2s&t=14m51s). He's enough of a cartoon villain that he'll want to throw them out nonstop because everyone is underwater. And since no one on the enemy team except Tidus is good at moving here, they'll be torn to shreds. He can also take a ton of punishment. His boss fight takes forever, even if you don't think he can heal himself here.

DC's argument:

Guns don't really work underwater. The barrels fill with water, whatever you're shooting gets weighed down by the mass of it and even high powered bullets don't move for crap. I have Tidus who is pretty dang good underwater, and Neclord who can electrocute the crap out of things.

Think that'll do.

Basically I'm seeing this match:

If Neclord dies from water submersion like typical vampire, Tidus vs Frog + Kaos is very interesting (no one else is terribly relevant)

If Neclord doesn't that is no longer interesting

Also unless Kaos's stuff is specifically Holy, it's going to bounce off of Neclord's dead ass unless Frog hits him with the Star Dragon. I don't think swinging a sword around underwater goes very well either, unless you are Tidus

I'd also like to point out just how much time you have to spend dodging Kaos' attacks in his boss fight, because they're huge AoEs. That's going to be much harder when everyone but Tidus is drastically reduced in mobility.

Pretty sure the Star Dragon Sword has told Frog he needs to stab the vampire. He can probably get into position while Kaos is filling the sphere pool with sharks.

It's a Suikoden vampire thing. Neclord has gigantic resistance to everything non-Holy (in game terms everything does 0 damage to him) unless hit with the Star Dragon first, then he takes normal damage. And you just have to work though his silly high HP.

He can also zip around with his tongue, considering that's literally one of his moves in Chrono Trigger. Good way to cover the last bit of distance to Neclord extremely quickly.

Unless they're Holy I doubt they'd doing squat. As said, in game terms you literally can't even hurt Neclord with anything you have. We can assume then that Kaos is going to have to be sporting something better than the Suikoden runes that Neclord just laughs at

I honestly have no idea, but it's probably more "death by a thousand cuts" type of thing, considering how many of them there are. Tidus is gonna have to sit there and take it or spend a lot of time dodging them, either way leaving Neclord open.

Since when did most vampires die from water anyway? Like honestly, LoK ones are the only ones I can think of that do that.

Anyway, Frog should be a good swimmer, what with being a frog and all. Tails is functional underwater too, based on all the underwater levels in the 2D games. Tidus is still the fastest here, even before haste is thrown in. Kaos and Neclord are both weird and disruptive with AoE so they don't even care about swimming so much. Crono's not gonna use lightning without killing himself or buddies.

Leaning Tidus/Neclord, because Tidus is functionally the best melee here, and Neclord is the best/most durable range. Frog's work would be cut out to reach him when he has Tidus to contend with.

I think the big thing is that Kaos is utterly fantastic as a distraction, with the sharks and lasers and energy waves and so on. He could be rather effective at keeping Tidus away from Frog.

As this topic series resident Skylanders expert:

Kaos is actually his own element that is all the other elements combined, which as of Trap Team includes a Holy (Light) element.

Even Alucard takes damage from water in SotN till you get the Holy Symbol and he's a daywalker too.

Neclord is not a traditional vampire. As said, he goes around in broad daylight at one point (the bit where he kidnaps Tengar and goes "Nyaha, come find her by sundown or we have an evil wedding"). No particular reason to think any other vampire problems apply either.

Well taking spyro as the big standard Skylander, it takes on average 5-6 hits to kill a typical skylander, less for the squishy ones, 8 or 9 for the beefy ones like Tree Rex.

I dunno, I looked it up and it seemed like the only myth about it was vampires don't like rivers because if they died in them (not from them), they'd be trapped.

Anyway on thinking about it I'd probably give Neclord a pass because water is an element in Suikdoen 2's magic and he doesn't take damage from it-- nor is it mentioned, so yeah. Enough "nos" on that list that it shouldn't be taken as a given.

So my vote if I had one would be for Team Neclord.

Everything's different though! Sunlight's easily the most universal one, but water (not even holy water) is totally brought up less than stakes, crosses, or garlic in most of the media I've seen. And then I'd have thought holy water as a weakness before regular water too.
