I showed that understanding when going 5-2 in POCL, victories over Zebraiken and Gl4SS who are top tier NU battlers (6-1 w\out hax), but I also tutor afterschool at the elementary school a few blocks away from my high school, which also makes me believe I'm a solid choice as a tutor References: Finchinator, Blimlax, Michael, Meeps. GMT: NYC (-5, right?)[/HIDE] Celestial Phantom - Wifi LU Application: Spoiler Forum username: Celestial Phantom Most prominent server names: Celestial Phantom Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi LU, Adv OU (if needed) About me: Ladder Peaked at #2 in LU before, ADV = dead ladder so no go there. In scripted tours a lot of my wins are either LU or Adv type of tournaments. I played in the POCL being able to play LU and Adv OU as both tiers. There isn't really much because I haven't explored playing a lot on the forums or in tours outside scripted server ones. If anything Emerald is the one mainstream game that I've played consistently over the years so Adv battling is almost like a second nature to me as that is the first game I actually made attempts at playing competitively and have since revisited to actually learn. References: Meeps, Tyki, Finchinator, Morning Sun, New Breed, The Real Elmo, Wobby, Rok. No one in Adv b/c well dead tier so getting references for that is near impossible (well I've battled M Dragon, Tanner, Toph Bei Fong, and Finchinator in Adv so maybe them I guess?) Timezone: GMT -6[/HIDE] Dude24 - ADV OU, Wifi LU Application: Spoiler Forum username: Dude24 Most prominent server names: Dude24, Skyfall, Lord Stark Tiers you wish to teach: Adv OU, Wifi LU About me: I've been playing Adv for about 2 and a half years and I pretty much taught myself through trail and error. I have a good grasp of the tier and know the play styles, what's good / bad etc. I may not have the advanced knowledge of the tier like Callous but I believe I can still help players learn and play well at one of the best tiers. Wifi UU / LU i'm pretty good at reaching Page 1 many times, I believe I can help all beginners learn the basics of the tier and turn them into good players.

I like trying out rare sets of very familiar pokemon in the tier. I have a peak of 1443 reaching #4 in the ladder with this team. Furthermore, I have written a couple of NU Analyses. I like discussing about the Wifi NU metagame especially the underrated pokemon in the tier since NU has a very large pool of pokemon to use. Generally, I like helping others to learn and love the NU metagame because it is a very interesting tier.

It was very fun, and I'd like to do that again :] I have much time for tutees, depending on their activity on the server. I Peaked #2 BW2 OU (beta, 1640). Another peak that should be mentioned is my PS peak, that is #1 with 2241 points. (note: the rest of my peaks are mainly from BW1 so I don't think they are that relevant: #1 smogon, #1 PBC, #3 PO). Besides the laddering, I've been a teambuilder for 2 years and several months. While doing that, I also practiced practiced prediction a lot, so I'm actually able to do that pretty well nowadays, means I can teach it too and explain how to predict and why. In general I should know OU pretty well now after these years and I want other people to get their experiences as well, that's why I want to help them.

Been playing UU exclusively for a long time, and I don't know what my peak is, except the fact that it is between 1450-1500. I were a tutor round 3 (Approved by Hikari), and I still wish to be a tutor. Nothing else I want to add really.

I went 3-2 in POCL, as a member of the Milan Bisharps (<3 choking.) Currently, I have a few aliases with decent ladder rankings but, when I took the ladder seriously, I topped at a ranking of 1701. I have teached some other users, as well as helped some with teams, that now prosper in the Wifi OU tier. Wifi NU - I have peaked rather high on the ladder, top 10 or so, and done well in most competitive battles / tours that I enter. Currently in round 4 of the only NU tournament - the one with the types (Soren runs it, iirc.) Beaten a few users like CasedVictory, although he's thomped me a lot more than I have him, and can vow that I have a good amount of knowledge on the tier.

I've peaked #1 in both tiers and have made numerous amount of very good teams in the tier. I played for the championship winning Barcelona Blazikens in LC, going 2-2 and 1-0 in NU. I was unable to play NU and LU that much as we had solid players in the two tiers already. I've helped multiple players out in LU before, and I'm willing to tutor for LU and NU for the academy.

I got tutored by CALLOUS for a very long time so I've got a pretty good idea of what to do and such. References: Syrim, Treecko, and Michael Timezone: -5 or -4. I'm no time expert, but I believe it changes every once in a while. I'm not quite sure what it is now though. Thanks.[/HIDE] Mylo Xyloto - Wifi LC Application: Spoiler Forum username: Mylo Xyloto Most prominent server names: Mylo Xyloto Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi LC Personal Info:Well the lack of LC tutors really concern me. So here I am. I've peaked #2 in Wifi LC with 1414 points. I've won numerous server LC tournaments. I like music.

I have a real passion for the Wifi LU tier, probably because it reminds me of DP UU. I have played an extensive number of battles and know pretty much every viable set for every Pokemon in the tier. I'm an easy going guy and willing to help someone of any skill level learn what is imo, the best tier in BW.

I enjoyed working with my tutee and will continue to do so even after this application. I grew a strong bond with someone who I believed learned the inner depths of Wifi UU. However, I wish I could have been more busy and my other two tutees were available to see me more often. In terms of the ladder, I have exceeded 1521 in Wifi UU. I also work with strong players to devise teams and exert strong Pokemon in Wifi UU that have a low statistical boundary. In terms of personal life, I'm a Junior at the University of Rochester studying Chemical Engineering. I'm a current tutor for a computer engineering course. I'm also a part of the Battle Factory review committee and recently joined the Wiki Copy Editor committee.

I'm pretty patient with tutees. I'm not going to teach 6 standard rain stall; if you want that, go to Donkey. I generally use different, "gimmicky" sets that are fun to play with.

This is the highest peak I've ever seen in Monotype (it's been a while since then and I've dropped to third). I've briefly tutored multiple people in Monotype (such as [Eon]Gigalith) who were able to go from middle of the ladder to first page. In terms of contributions I've helped review the Battle Factory OU sets. I've won quite a few of the online tournaments (won more often than I've lost them I think). In real life I'm still a student which would definitely aid me in understanding how people best learn. Overall I think I'm pretty patient while tutoring and I try to mix in humor to reinforce whatever I just taught.

About me: (Some information about you and why you think you are a good choice as a tutor, and why you want to be one. Good things to list would be ladder peaks, tournament victories, and other accomplishments. However, feel free to list other "real life" things that might make you more suitable for the position.) No ladder accomplishments because ladder is balls. two time spl player even though i only have a 1-3 overall record ! Good player on paper but terrible in practice. heh.

I've been playing OU since it was created. I can and have gotten high ladder peaks, but I haven't done so in a long time because tbh the ladder is pretty dumb. I've done well in the tournaments I care about, such as the pocl and a couple tours on smogon. I was tutored twice before, so I know the ropes of how to tutor others well. This will also be my third round tutoring. Besides this stuff, I'm an 18 y/o from CT who for some strange reason likes to play pokemon.

As part of the Spartak Stunfisks, I went 4-3 in Wifi OU during POCL. I've peaked both OU and Ubers ladder once, and I'm comfortable with every play style. Recently, I battle my way to round 6 in ST9, where I lost to Thatsjustpeachy in a 50/50 in battle three. I like to help people and have done so many times unofficially on the server. I'm relatively active and very sociable. References: Tape, Nikitas, Finchinator, Kland, Michael, ZodiaK, Sulcata, Meeps; I could probably list a few more, but I think this will do.[/HIDE][/SPOILER]
