Zextra Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 @Sakura: I wouldn't be surprised if Sandshrew loses in R4, but at this point we just don't know.It might - it happened twice before, to Zigzagoon and Vaporeon (though I genuinely liked Vaporeon) xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hello Sandshrew's nominator here to say I'm glad it's doing well. ^^Now I especially want to see the next matches XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 All of the Round 4 matches are up, and well Sandshrew got dealt a pretty hard match.Then again, I would probably say that it got itself tangled in a match between Nai and Zyg/Yui (Altaria/Hydreigon respectively); you get the point though. (It's not a YMB in disguise, but Altaria/Hydreigon are associated with those members, so that's why it's been said.) If you guys want, we can start doing hypothetical matches again for losers in Round 3; you know, for redemption of sorts, I guess.Choosing from R3, since less candidates to go through [i think there were 18 Pokes that didn't make the cut at that time, so yeah we can probably start doing those later] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well, thanks to these stupid draws, I'm more than likely going to lose both my remaining nominations - Empoleon ended up in a 3-way match with very popular opponents, and Luxray's up against Yveltal...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Wrong one Zex.The one you're fighting is Xerneas (as in the one in the bottom right of my Pokemon sig/tags). Yveltal lost a close one to Hydreigon. Right now, all of mine are in tied matches (though that is certainly going to change in the coming days).

~British Soul~ Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well, as-is I might be losing both of my remaining nominations too, still early days but I'm kinda not confident about this round tbph. It might - it happened twice before, to Zigzagoon and Vaporeon (though I genuinely liked Vaporeon) xDI think I may have forgotten about those.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 For now, Latias and Xerneas have a lead in their fights.Rayquaza is losing by one at the moment, but again still early. We know Vaporeon won GPT 3 (I think) and Zigzagoon was 4th one.Second one was probably Rayquaza or something (not nominated by me, if I remember). ----As for Sandshrew, for now, its time may be up in this round, but we'll probably get a surprise upset in a couple days.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 This marks the end of Round 4 of the tournament.Looks like I was right about Sandshrew dying this round, Altaria beat it (though it also slashed Hydreigon as it went down). Anyway, remaining nomination for Round 5 and bingo book. [spoiler=Nominations (2/16)]LatiasXerneas [spoiler=Bingo Book]MasquerainLilligant (I'm removing Altaria for now) ----I suspect that a couple 'mons are getting black marks after this.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I lost Rayquaza in a close one, but other two nominations survived with a good margin.There are no ties this round, so Round 5 will be simple 1v1 fights. Let's see here... GlaceonLatiasJirachiXerneasDragoniteMasquerainLilligantAltaria 1 Kanto 'mon, 0 Johto 'mons, 4 Hoenn 'mons, 1 Sinnoh 'mon, 1 Unova 'mon and 1 Kalos 'mon.

~British Soul~ Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well, I'm donion rings, lost my two remaining nominations and their assassins gain black marks against them. Only one 'mon on my kill list was killed which means that a 'mon on my kill list is guaranteed a slot in the semi-finals.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Sandshrew is off my list (so Arcanine has been avenged), but Masquerain got a black mark.At least Latias got to Round 5 this time, as opposed to being wiped during the prelims last tournament. ---------As for the matches, indeed you're probably going to get at least 1 going on to the semis (but let's see if they get killed off by the other 'mons that are not on your list).Well, I know one of the non-kill list 'mons you don't care for.

~British Soul~ Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 The only relevant Masquerain I know of is Hyperbug from TPP, so I could refer to it as that, I've just never used one because it really isn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yeah, Masquerain is outclassed by other viable Bug-types as far as Smogon logic goes [and indeed, 4x weakness to Rocks coupled with its stats does it no favors]. That explains why it's not going any higher than NU. Out of fairness, I only have one for Pokedex reasons, but that's it. Then again, a good chunk of Bugs aren't great in fights anyway. Scizor, Scyther, Volcarona, Heracross [i think] and a few others are exceptions to that rule. Beedrill falls on the good list as of this generation. However, this tournament is basically a popularity contest, so if people like the others for design, even if they can't hold their own in OU and stuff, then there's not much we can do about it. ----Ah yes, I should have the Round 5 matches up in a day or so.Might want to think about how we'll incorporate hypotheticals (or in this case, redemption fights), if any.

~British Soul~ Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I only have one Masquerain for pokedex reasons too.As for hypotheticals, I don't think there has been an instance where we needed one yet because I haven't seen much controversy this time round.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Don't think we've had any controversial matches since GPT 2 [after that incident with Blaziken], so yeah probably no need.(Although, depending on how things go, we might be done with the tournament before Halloween.) RNG no longer has any nominations left though, so from this point onward, it's all member stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yeah, the only members with nominations remaining are:You with 2NaiMirei with 2Setheraand CowCow with 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Round 5 is up, and RNG decides to somewhat piss me off one last time.Silver lining is that I'll have one nomination guaranteed at least a bronze medal, but other might die. We'll see though. -------------No, I didn't forget about this in the midst of Halloween.You can probably blame having to start things and answer questions, among other academic crap.

~British Soul~ Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Round 5 is up, and RNG decides to somewhat piss me off one last time.Silver lining is that I'll have one nomination guaranteed at least a potential bronze medal, but other might die.I suppose having 2 noms fight in this late stage isn't that bad imo. also, potential bronze.Though that match was probs my toughest vote, not that tough in retrospect, but the others were easier choices for me given circumstances n' junk.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well, I probably might not do a 3rd place match, so whoever gets through this round alive is guaranteed at least bronze.Don't think we had a third place match since GPT 2/3 or something. (Trying to remember if Yui did one) But yeah, that's the only match that didn't have a 'mon on your kill list. ----5-2 and 5-4 were black marked vs regular marked.

~British Soul~ Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I remember the BS I pulled in a previous GPT where Volcarona burned the other bronze medals because it got more votes than the other semi-final losers, ofc I know it's only head-canon in my eyes, but hey. 5-2 and 5-4 were black marked vs regular marked.It would've been tougher if Altaria and Lilligant duked it out tbh.

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looking like a tough one for my nominations. Also saying it now but I'd like to try and host the next one of these if that's okay. Probably wouldn't be for a few months at least.And another thing, I was thinking, once we have 8 champions we could do a mini-tournament of champions. ^^ 4 matches of 1v1, no ties allowed, that kinda deal.

~British Soul~ Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 A champion of champions sort of thing? I wouldn't be opposed to that tbqh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I did offer Yui the chance to do GPT 7 (and switch out and stuff), but you can take it over if you want Cow.Remember that I don't have sole ownership over this tournament. As for tournament of champions, that might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I wouldn't mind handling the Champion of Champions thing at the conclusion of GPT8. It's only 7 matches, or 8 if I decide to do a bronze medal match (which will most likely happen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
