Alright! Let's get this party started.

Group 1 Power Rankings:

8) IfGodCouldDie

God - Fuck With Us! (0-0, 20GP)
Low: Bowser,
Mid: Albert Wesker, Psycho Mantis, M. Bison, Dr. Wily, Sigma, Nightmare
High: Sarah Kerrigan, Exdeath, Diablo, Dark Samus
Supports: GLaDOS (Link: ????)

Notes:

In every draft, somebody has to be the weak link. God is the one for this draft, even if it is relative - these groups are absolutely full of killers, and even the weakest team can win a few matches if the leader's smart about it. The primary reason God is ranked so low isn't his teamcomp (which is pretty decent) but the questions we all have about his leadership abilities. Mercs has a difficulty curve that's almost vertical, so newbies tend to do somewhat poorly during their first few weeks. Will God overcome his inexperience in time to clinch a playoffs spot, or will he be like a small fish swimming in a pool of sharks? Time will tell. Time will tell...

Group 2 Power Rankings:

8) ScareChan

Scare - Team America (0-0, 20GP)
Low: Chrom, Vivi, Vanille, Big the Cat
Mid: Senator Steven Armstrong, Dr. Wily, Ryu H, Bass.EXE, Raiden
High: Diablo, Raziel
Supports: Deathwing (Link: Armstrong)

Notes:

Interestingly enough, Group 2's newbie isn't at the bottom spot. We'll get to eaed later - this is Scare's writeup, not his after all - but partly due to natural talent and partly due to coaching refining that talent, I think he's poised to do well enough to reach the playoffs. Now, on to the writeup itself.

Essentially, Scare's problem is that I'm not sure his low tier is not going to let him down. Mid tier is rock solid, but high and low are both a bit exposed. It's impossible to cover every tier in this format, by design, but Diablo and Raziel are kinda lonely in high. This team will have to win through abilityhax, not battle worth. And looking at it...it's possible, but dicey. Big is cash, Vivi has a ghetto removal, Raiden has a KO, Armstrong can turn teams against each other and Ryu H has the True Dragon Gleam to execute squishies. Can Scare ration his abilities properly to survive each matchup though? That is the burning question. At least he has Wily to help out - those sixteen free abilities are godsends.
