Match 2
Scythe vs Raviaki
| Scythe |
Raviaki |
||||
| Welcome back Ms. Scythe! Fun to see Scythe's Wisayumei-Tizuka flavored PTSD as one of the returning characters from our previous OCT. You put a lot of work into fleshing out the environment and people for Scythe to interact with, however I found Scythe's flirting pushed into OOC bounds and wasn't comfortable to read. Overall you did a good job with your opponent, foreshadowing, and the fight. | You weaved in all of the characters in well- I was never overwhelmed by the amount of characters used, and it really fleshed out Ravi's outsider experience in Crossroads! The illustrations were great too-- satisfying read that was highly detailed and fun. |

Match 3
Andrea & Octavia vs Vivian Huang & Jian Er'Ziu
| Andrea & Octavia |
Vivian Huang & Jian Er'Ziu |
||||
| I love Andrea and Octavia's dynamic-- the drama and tension the two have throughout your round helps keep the momentum going, and creates a lot of intrigue between them. Vivian had a good dynamic with the girls and the fight was dynamic and interesting. |
Unfortunately due to life circumstances Vivian Huang & Jian Er'Ziu forfeited this round. We hope they can enjoy their time in Crossroads! |

Match 4
Kiriata & Azta vs Varila
| Kiriata & Azta |
Varila |
||||
| What a fun read! It kept the momentum all the way up to the end. I felt that Varila could've gotten a little more screen time pre-fight, but you did a fantastic job with her as an opponent. You tied up the fight in a way that keeps the story going for both teams-- "No one goes home sad" is a great goal for these two! |
What an action-packed and emotional round 1! The world was crafted beautifully and the opponents were used as great foils. Try to keep important moments within the scored round-- other than that, the prologue was a great lead-up to the round. Great job with the writing! |

Second Wind: Kiriata & Azta
A note for second winds & the possibility of being matched up in the third and final round-- canon should follow the creator's own version of events throughout the tournament, so both Kiriata & Azta and Varila will continue with their R1 canonicity. Discrepancies later on can be regarded as the God Eater manipulating dimensions and character interactions to force more situations-- if it is alternate world versions or not is at your discretion. Canon conflicts should not be much of a problem for the second round-- if there will be a canon conflict concern after R2 results are released, we can discuss it further then.
This decision only affects the R2 opponent and side of the bracket (Kiriata & Azta will be fighting the other bracket half opponent, Raviaki).
