WAIT
No fancy titles this time. Just a quick update:
I should frontload this by saying that what XC3 characters have for matchups aren't really... that, so much as concepts of MUs they could have with limited information. Just putting that out there (It's the reason Sena has Heracross under her).
- Noah vs Arceus (Pokemon Gen 4): Tell me you don't picture a setup where, knowing the anecdote about flutes and 'mourning the dead', Noah is playing the Azure Flute, and that's what starts the fight. I'm aware Arceus vs Ameterasu is the hot topic when it comes to God Lama's MUs (and Beerus became a DBC MU for some reason), but if XC3 god tiers stay at 2-A, thank me later.
Mio vs Sheik is basically just 'see above, but with more of a focus on organic themes'. Arceus technically upgraded your Smartphone, after all.
- Lao vs Naesala (FERD/PoR): Basically just an honourable mention for the 'traitor of all' theme. Dagran is still better because I'm more familiar with TLS than Telius (that looks weird to type out, and I refuse to reword it), but it's still worth mentioning.
- Luxaar vs Lyric (Sonic Boom): Irrelevant Wii U-era minor antagonists who are around for one arc, and are never seen again (sealed evil in a can, if you will), who want some way to bring about the end of organic civilisation. They also look like slugs and other green shit.
- Grahf vs Jeritza (FE3H): Masked family members who are obsessed with personal, non-ruling power, and spend all of one line on screen at a time (you know what I mean). Fei has a relation with Grahf in the same way Mercedes has a relation with The Death Knight.
EDIT: Completely forgot about Doug vs Fredrick: Basically 'ol' reliable' assistant characters who are loyal to one or more mains. Not much else to it than that.
Discussion Slate (What should I add next time?):
- Ryoji Mochizuki (Persona 3) - VS chaos/Yeshua (Xenosaga) or Alvis (XC1)? As I mentioned before, I have been playing through Persona 3 FES as of late (as well as having watched two of the movies a few years back), and looking at Synposis for his role, he does sound familiar to Alvis and/or chaos (ironic, given how Xeno fans compare Alvis and chaos, and rightly so). Any ideas where I can put him, if push comes to shove?
- Seteth (FE3H) - VS Sec. Nagi (XCX)? I know Nagi is a bit of an obscure character, but looking at why I kept him vs Yen Sid, the mentality is 'characters who sit in authority, and surprise people when they can actually throw hands'. Does Seteth fit in this category enough, just because his recruitment prospects are tied to post-time skip? Just food for thought.
Who's the one fighting Tails and what are the connections between them? Perhaps that Xeno character can be a good opponent for Archie Tails
