A few weeks ago, Torey and I made a discovery, and we'd like your help in confirming the data. What we did was take a CD and make a monster with it in MR1, note the stats, freeze it right away, then slate it in MR2 and compare it with the stats and monster made by shrining in MR2. What we found was that the slated monsters had higher stats when slated than their MR2 shrine counterparts. Of course, since they were usually completely different types of monster, the ratios would be different too - but the composite stats were always higher. Anyone willing to run a few CDs and check this would help us confirm the trend.

If you want to add to our study please post the following, in a table:
CD Title Info
Monster made in MR1
Stats in MR1 with composite total Stats when shrined
Monster made when slated
Stats when slated
Monster type from MR2 shrine
Stats from MR2 Shrine

Sample:

Sample CD Title

created in	monster type	lif	pow	int	ski	spd	def	total
MR1 shrine	Suezo/Suezo	100	107	186	149	105	112	759
MR2 slate	Suezo/Suezo	104	110	186	150	105	114	769
MR2 shrine	Gaboo/Joker	90	108	140	120	80	106	644

well, here is one thing i can report. out of 500+ cds, only 106 of my mr2 cds could have existed in mr1. the rest have some sort of main or sub which wasnt possible in mr1. out of this 106, only 3 have the same main type. this seems totally dispropirtional; i wonder if there was some sort of selection process differentiation between the two games to make sure that the overwhelming majority of discs made entirely different monsters in the two games.
