Round Two Matchups

The second round match-ups have been determined!

The rules for the tournament remain the same: 3 Pokemon, single battles, switch at will. No Enlightened abilities or items.

We need a winner from each pairing by 2/28, so please post the results of your match here whenever you've decided on a winner. If we have not received a decision by that time, we'll need to randomize a winner. If you are having difficulty getting ahold of your partner, let us know with a PM and we'll work something out. You may definitely continue to backtag past that date; we don't actually expect that people will finish their matches so quickly ICly.

Note: We'd like to note that the winners of battles should not necessarily be based entirely upon levels and the like, as this precludes people who joined later from winning, which we don't want to encourage. There may certainly be other factors involved in the fighting as RP is a more freefrom medium - fighting should not be as formulaic as in the games. Even Pokemon that are useless in the games will have a fighting chance provided they are used in a clever way.

The IC post for the second round will go up tomorrow at midnight, 2/27. There are 6 participants in this round, so there will be 3 winners representing Union, each of whom will have a match against Team Evolution at the end. Since this event depends a lot upon player-player interactions, please do make an effort to keep the threads going! The final battles will go up 3/1.

Second Round
Melaka vs. Levi
Ezreal vs. Feliks
Imogen vs. Reimu

Levi still only has Whirlipede and Swinub! Melaka might not (?) want to fight her superior though lol. As before there's a chance Levi might try and cheat because he's an asshole. I'm up for any outcome!

Rofl honestly Melaka would love to fight her superior and see how it goes (Phantump, Croagunk, and Phanpy here) though I do think for narrative continuity, what with her being the subordinate, she shouldn't win.

how about they fight tooth and nail but levi ends up winning?

For posterity, Ezreal's got Jungler the Liepard, Smasher the Boldore, and Spark the Elekid.

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-02-26 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Welp. All of them are higher-level than any of Feliks's, so. Guessing this one's gonna go to Ezreal.

[personal profile] indy_wannabe 2014-02-26 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Now now, no need to be hasty about that. As the post said, level and typing and Pokemon type are not the end-all be-all to who's gonna win. What's Feliks fielding?
niepokonany: (+They say the devil's water)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-02-26 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
He'll have Jadwiga the Kirlia (21), Emilia the Houndour (20), and Danuta the Mienfoo (19). Thoughts?
indy_wannabe: (Default)

[personal profile] indy_wannabe 2014-02-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Danuta actually would be really tricky since he hard-counters two of Ezreal's. Smasher could take Emilia, hard to say who'd come up Spark vs. Danuta, and Jungler miiight be able to take Jadwiga unless Jadwiga has fairy attacks, in which case Spark's pulling double-duty. It's hard to say, I'd be fine submitting to a randomization if you'd like. My only want is that either way it's a tough, close match.

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-02-26 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Randomizing and a tough battle fought hard on both sides sounds great to me, then!

[personal profile] indy_wannabe 2014-02-26 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Requested randomization, looks like Feliks wins!

If you want we can thread out the battle or at least a part of it when the threads go up tomorrow, let me know if you're interested/what you'd like to thread.
niepokonany: (Quaint!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-02-26 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I am definitely up for threading however much of the battle you'd be interested in threading-- I love playing fight scenes.
indy_wannabe: (10)

[personal profile] indy_wannabe 2014-02-26 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good! I say we just throw a thread up when it goes up tomorrow and have at.
niepokonany: (I call it Vera)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-02-26 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Works for me!

Imogen is using her same trio of Bluescale the Tyrantrum, Stonewall the Mr. Mime, and Sandtrap the Trapinch.

...And starting with Stealth Rock again.

I'm so sorry...
paradiseshrinemaiden: (No I'm not drunk!)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-26 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
I uh... have been neglecting things and I'm probably doing this all wrong, but I just dumped all the levels I accumulated while slacking off on keeping track of things, so. Reimu's team is Ruukoto the Slyveon, Hiroki the Slowpoke and Ami the female Meowstic (yes, I know. I told you I just dumped all my levels. XD; I had a shit ton of them okay?) None of them are particularly weak to rock type moves, as far as I know, but Stealth Rock is still annoying.

[personal profile] for_realsies 2014-02-26 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, this looks more like a fight then. (And the Stealth Rock thing is mostly that, having fought competitive battlers when SR was a TM, Stealth Rock is a pain to deal with. So I always apologize even if there's no need to.)

Tyrantrum is all about being hideously strong and decently fast, being able to strike with Head Smash, Earthquake, or Bite (two psychic types). So he'd be a pretty heavy hitting foe even with a type weakness to both Sylveon and Slowpoke.

Mr. Mime has no weaknesses to anyone there, but he only has an advantage over Slowpoke (due to Magical Leaf)... and also has pretty buff stats dealing with anyone that isn't Sylveon.

Trapinch has crap all for stats except that Attack stat, but isn't carrying any weakness except to Slowpoke. And due to Arena Trap, can probably get a surprise kill in on a weakened foe.

...I'm comfortable asking for an RNG for this, as both sides have pretty even odds here all told. Although in retrospect Immy should have brought one Dark Type with her.
paradiseshrinemaiden: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-27 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm willing to go with a hard fight and randomization (though with my luck if I did that Immy would win anyway and Reimu wouldn't be happy with that XD;).
paradiseshrinemaiden: (I'm just that good)

[personal profile] paradiseshrinemaiden 2014-02-28 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, seriously? Okay, cool! \o/
