Looks like TUH has finally made a move. Cim did as well, so it's TUH's turn again.

Meanwhile, Rocket Edge did indeed go for the best move available, and so I'm pretty sure that Rantz vs Rocket Edge will be a draw/Sudden Death now.

That... is pretty damn impressive. Thank god we never played that high risk - high reward game.

I can't believe you beat her with level 1 cards.

[CimminyCricket]

That's dedication.

[Ultima Shadow]

I actually did that one on my first try.


...so, I decided to take it to the next level. One kind of level 1 card only.


Someone... please make Quistis harder/smarter.

[Goldenboko]

Unfortunately we can't, the god mode AI contains an error which freezes the game.

EDIT: It appears TB cannot win her match and already lost her first, which means there are only two matchups left for Blizzard.

That's a shame. =(



...and as I thought, Rantz vs Rocket Edge went on to Sudden Death. Meanwhile, TUH and Cim have gotten about halfway through their game. They've both been playing very defensively so far, so it's still 5-5 and hard to say how the game will go. But that could change quickly within the next couple of moves.


Edit: Looks like Cim takes the game - TUH's last card will trigger Plus, but only take one card, resulting in 6-4 to Cim. It looks like Rantz has managed to get a pretty nasty board advantage in his Sudden Death against Rocket Edge too.

As Blizzard's round fizzles to an end (I'll be dealing with that once one or two more games clear up). It's time for the next round of Blizzaga!

In this round we will be split into 3 brackets of three, of which only one will advance from each! This will be determined by record only. Differential does not advance anyone out of their brackets, in case of ties, tie-breaker matches must be held! Ultimate victory must be achieved on the battlefield! In case you were wondering where these brackets come from, in this spoiler tag is the seeds based on performance last round and the premade structure I had ready for this round.

Bracket Calculation
Seeds

1. Ultima Shadow - 3 Wins, 0 Losses, +10 card differential
2. Faris - 2 wins, 1 loss, +10 card differential
3. Pantz - 2 wins, 1 loss, +8 card differential
4. Bleys - 2 wins, 1 loss, +6 card differential
5. Cim - 2 wins, 1 loss, +4 card differential
6. Goldenboko - 2 wins, 1 loss, +2 card differential
7. Loony BoB - 2 wins, 1 loss, +2 card differential (order of BoB and Boko didn't matter because of below bracket-layout. Either way tie would've been determined by match in which Goldenboko was victor)
8. Vivi22 - 2 wins, 1 loss, 0 card differential
9. Jiro - 1 win, 2 losses, -4 card differential

Bracket Seed Setup
Victor's Spoil - Allows person to who came in first last round to face "weakest" opponents.

Good luck all! Will send out some reminder PMs today!

[Ultima Shadow]

Yes, finally!

Are the rules the same as last round?

Also, for betting (if we are just predicting the winners like last round) I will bet on:

(SPOILER)

Victor's Spoil: Myself

The Runner Up: Faris

Middle of the Pack: Rantz


...oh my, I feel so clever - betting on the 3 highest on the seeding list!

[Goldenboko]

I totally forgot to copy and paste the ruleset! my bad all! *Goes back to edit!*

[Jiro]

Let's get this over and done with, then. I await your challenge, No. 2; the battle for the No. 1 headband begins.

[Ultima Shadow]

I blame "the curse of the worthless Ifrit card" on your victory during the Firaga grand finals. This time, things will be different. *insert evil laugh*

[Flying Mullet]

Bets: (SPOILER)Vivi22, Faris and Cim

[NeoCracker]

Come on Shads! I may hate this game, but as our only Babe Keeper Representative in this game, you cannot let the group down!
