Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 So, the two V's face each other in this round. One of them will end up going to the finals, and competing against either a legendary or a solid fighter; the other will be eligible for nothing less than 4th Which one will depend on the votes after time's up. Match ends 1/8/2015 @ 10 pm HST BTW, a W-3 match will be around for Hydreigon (essentially replace Vaporeon with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think it's fairly obvious where I'm voting. Vaporeon has done well for me in game and on Showdown, and it's an interesting design. And all around good Pokemon. While I do like the fire moth, and being the first critical capture I got was particularly cool, it just isn't nearly to Vaporeon's level for me.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Not particularly fond of Volcarona, because it's a moth and I've expressed my abhorrence towards them (and to an extent, butterflies). Don't ask about the latter; it's a long story. Vaporeon is on my list of least favorite Pokemon, so it's not getting vote. While I have somewhat forgiven it for killing its relative and my girlfriend/partner, it's not enough coupled with the above. In all, I vote for Volcarona. Despite being a moth, I don't particularly hate it as much. Besides, it's also a good fighter in Smogon/other things; even if Stealth Rock is the bane of its existence.

Maeriberii Haan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 >Not using a far better title for Volcarona. But oh well. The Grand Blazing Sun Moth is pretty much my second favorite pokemon, so I had to vote for it, like really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I had Volcarona listed as Mothra for the most part; can go ahead and change that. But right now, 3-2 Vaporeon. Out of fairness, you and I are the only ones who voted for Volcarona so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ahhh, tis a grand fight already! Huzzah, this shall be one to watch. Two powerful, but fairly unexpected, contenders fighting it out. It will be down to the wire I'm sure. I can only hope Vaporeon is up to the challenge!

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 If we put this another way, Volcarona's tier status on Smogon is slightly higher than Vapo right now. BL (banlist from UU) vs actual UU. Suppose the power creep pushed them, but Vaporeon got hit harder. But my vote's on the sun Poke (it does share its species name with Espy, so I guess that's another reason; even if Volca is one of Espy's worst nightmares).

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I constantly forget Vaporeon is UU and not OU anymore. I still use it in OU because of that. XD Though...if I remember Darmanitan is a big threat in UU so Defensive Vaporeon must be terrible for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Considering Vaporeon has base 60 defenses, and 65 spd; it's no wonder why Darmanitan can screw with it. Though I'm assuming Superpower or something off Choice Band. IDK, I don't play Online lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Volcarona is on my kill list so Vaporeon gets my vote by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Unlike the last couple matches, Vaporeon doesn't have an overwhelming advantage at the moment; only leading by a single vote. Though it'll probably change over the next few days. Whether or not Vaporeon holds onto that lead will remain to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm looking forward to a tough match. :D And surprisingly, Vaporeon does well against both physical and special hits if you use it right. Mostly it's the 130 HP which is...really high. (I should stop now my fanboy is showing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 At least it fares better at physical attacks that Blissey for heaven's sake; well 6x better by base comparison. Indeed, this will be a tougher fight than Vaporeon's previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 In essence though, you're helping Cow win this whole thing by killing yourself (because Volca was your nomination, no?) Seems this is going to end up as a repeat of Round 2/3, scoring-wise, unless more people vote for the sun. I'll save the long-winded monologue about why Vaporeon isn't cool in my eyes, since you all went through it in the previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yes this was the kind of match I was hoping for. So close, very unpredictable. Thankfully Vaporeon leads for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Voting Volcarona, because I just like it better than Vaporeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 9-7 Vaporeon. Come on Volcarona, there's a reason why you're still viable in OU; show it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Woooo, a close one. 8-9 for Vaporeon.... Oh wait. *checks* I believe the time is up now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiri Tsukikawa Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 There's actually 5 more minutes, but it is close enough. With so little time there probably won't be another vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Vaporeon is lucky that Volca wasn't able to force a last-minute tie; otherwise it would be a 3-way final. But alas, Mothra falls to the Eeveelution by only a single vote. Could it be that her Trainer decided to stab it in the back with an obsidian knife (because of Rocks) in his quest to see the legend killer go through? Or perhaps there was another underlying cause that could've caused the balance to sway? Either way, it's a battle of Water vs Fire in the final; hmm, a repeat. BTW UE, I'm not calling you out for backstabbing your own nomination (it happened a lot in this tournament), but a bit surprised you didn't want to see your own nomination go through.
