Evaluation Team: - Hikari - Fitzy - Finchinator - Tyki - Mutalisk - ThatIsWhatSheSaid - Michael Deadline: July 1st --------------------------------------- RESULTS FROM LAST ROUND --------------------------------------- Spoiler Kyrk vs Key to Destruction - Wifi UU Approved: 3 | Rejected: 3 | Abstained: 0 | APPROVED WITH TIEBREAKER Spoiler Hikari - Approve Spoiler Decent match, Kyrk's team would have been raped by Adamant CB Flygon's EQ :D [/HIDE] Fitzy - Reject Spoiler Too one sided, never felt like key had a chance at winning the match. [/HIDE] Finchinator - Approve Spoiler It was a decent battle, not that brilliant but it's acceptable for my standards. Kyrk played well and his opponent was OK, played a bit better in the second half of the match. Glad to see Druddigon in UU, too! [/HIDE] Tyki - Reject Spoiler Snorlax was left to do as it wanted, and Destruction lost two of his sweepers because of that. Hax brought him back into the game. Kyrk still had the game under control the entire time, until Flygon became a concern, which would have not been a problem if Stun Spore hit, and Raikou was dead like it should have been much, much earlier. Very one sided battle. [/HIDE] Mutalisk - Approve Spoiler I loved this battle! Very high level of play, lots of nice switching, and very nice predictions from Kyrk. [/HIDE] ThatIsWhatSheSaid - Reject Spoiler Not particularly close and a few silly misplays. If it wasn’t in UU I might approve but I prefer the Fille/PK match by far and think it would be pretty repetitive in terms of tiers. [/HIDE] (Tiebreaker) Kyrk - Approve Spoiler I'll say that this was really awkward to be the tiebreaker for my own battle. I can't really judge my own battle fairly, so I just flipped a coin with heads being approved and tails being rejected. I somehow landed on heads, so my decision is made... [/HIDE] [/HIDE] Finchinator vs Rockhp - HGSS OU Approved: 1 | Rejected: 2 | Abstained: 3 | REJECTED Spoiler Hikari - Reject Spoiler The match was going pretty nice, then suddenly the other guy chocked awfully, played awful and completely ruined his chances for no reason. [/HIDE] Fitzy - Reject Spoiler Neat little battle but there was a quite a bit of annoying hax + some weird plays tbh. [/HIDE] Finchinator - Abstain Spoiler It's my battle. [/HIDE] Tyki - Abstain Spoiler I know very little about Gen 4, so I may be seeing this wrong. I mean, it seemed to me like Finch had the thing under control the entire time with his tricks up his sleeve, but I simply don't know the standard sets and teams as I don't know the tier. [/HIDE] Mutalisk - Approve Spoiler I always love 4th Gen and this game was really great. Some great predictions in regards to switching (turn 5) one super unlucky turn of hax (turn 13) and just about anything you could want in a battle. [/HIDE] ThatIsWhatSheSaid - Abstain Spoiler It was ultimately exciting, and I always love to see some HGSS on the channel. However, I just can’t get over a couple of the misplays. (Saccing 2 pokes when you should recognize its specs Rotom? Letting Kingdra die?) to approve. That coupled with the slow start are enough for me to abstain. [/HIDE] [/HIDE] Hannah vs [Aurora] Cris - Wifi OU Rejected because replay was too old to work. Fille vs PKGaming - Wifi UU Approved: 6 | Rejected: 0 | Abstained: 0 | APPROVED Spoiler Hikari - Approve Spoiler Pretty decent match, kinda bugs me PKGaming assumed a Heracross that did 50% to Defensive Suicune was Moxie instead of CB Guts but w/e. [/HIDE] Fitzy - Approve Spoiler Hazard spamming , close UU game. Pretty sweet. [/HIDE] Finchinator - [B]Approve[/B] Spoiler It was a nice battle, two great players. Nothing much to say here. [/HIDE] Tyki - [COLOR="#008000"][B]Approve[/B][/COLOR] [SPOILER] Fille had no real answer to Suicune, though he played it out pretty well. Minor hax is to be expected, and both players played pretty well. Fille had the upper hand once Suicune died though. Not an amazing battle, though good enough for narration. [/HIDE] Mutalisk - [COLOR="#008000"][B]Approve[/B][/COLOR] [SPOILER] Really good battle but the explosion was very strange to me I don't know if PK knew something i dont or was just hoping for the HJK miss but it kinda threw me a bit. Still it was a good battle on both halves and the narrator will have fun with that ending if done right. [/HIDE] ThatIsWhatSheSaid - [COLOR="#008000"][B]Approve[/B][/COLOR] [SPOILER] Very competitive and close. [/HIDE] [/HIDE] [B]Cloud7z vs Pretty Flacco[/B] - Wifi UU Approved: 0 | Rejected: 5 | Abstained: 1 | [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]REJECTED[/COLOR][/B] [SPOILER] Hikari - [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]Reject[/COLOR][/B] [SPOILER] Okish match, until the last few turns when it became completely uninteresting. [/HIDE] Fitzy - [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]Reject[/COLOR][/B] [SPOILER] Didn't even get to the end, so boring. [/HIDE] Finchinator - [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]Reject[/COLOR][/B] [SPOILER] The ending seems to be great and all, by his description - but I'm not a big fan of it. Not a great battle and not worth accepting, sorry. [/HIDE] Tyki - [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]Reject[/COLOR][/B] [SPOILER] At first I'm thinking Bliss and Reuniclus in UU will piss the viewers off. Flacco just pretty much set up, he didn't do anything special. The greed he had with Kingdra prevented a pretty solid mini-sweep. No real prediction happened as far I could see, abuse of Blissy and Reuniclus are all the happened, as Flacco made many misplays. Crit also won Cloud the battle. [/HIDE] Mutalisk - [B]Abstain[/B] [SPOILER] Entertainment wise stall can lose peoples interest quite quickly, but people who stay till the end will enjoy it overall. Nice to see Reuniclus in a battle - I too think he is super good. The battle was really good but I don't know how may people will want to watch stall, so it's hard for me to say much because I really want to foucus on entertainment more so then next level battles. [/HIDE] ThatIsWhatSheSaid - [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]Reject[/COLOR][/B] [SPOILER] The battle goes pretty much like this: Pretty Flaco lets his CM Reuniclus check die, 27 turns of unnecessary stuff happens, and then its 30 turns of PF trying to play around CM Reun but is unable to do so w/out a crit. Very boring and uncompetitive. [/HIDE] [/HIDE] [/HIDE][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER][/SPOILER]

Some confuse hax against Giratina helped me lay rocks,because Sasha had magic bounce on his Giratina.Then he predicted my Palkia switch in against Groudon,which cost me 60% hp thanks to the specs powered up thunder. And I predicted his Ferrothorn switch next turn,and took it down to 39% with flamethrower.His Ditto did a number on me as it came into +1 Genesect and got special attack boost with download and got my Arceus down to low health,which made it harder for me to deal with his Arceus.In the late game,recover+SD Arceus easily set up on my Groudon.Hax maybe interefered but both sides were equal.

I missplayed with Landorus-T early in the game hoping that Jolteon would have HP Fire instead of HP Ice.

I recovered from it with some good predictions and double switches. Fille at some point predicted my Crobat switching in and smacked it hard with Stone Edge, but some smart and risky plays with the bat, like taunting Fille's Raikou, allowed me to keep momentum on my side.

Battle link: Battle Link Tier: WIFI NU Number of turns: 35 Battle description: In a battle of long time friends, ZoroDark and I both brought pretty serious teams, which were both Offensive. I took an early advantage when I got Stealth Rocks up turn one, predicting him not to switch in Natu. However, he stole the momentum and sprinted into the lead with his unique Houndoom set that was Specially-Based Mixed with Sucker Punch, which killed two pokemon and dented another. Then, my Musharna and Torterra stood strong and defeated Zoro's last 4 pokemon once Mesprit and Houndoom were gone, securing a tight 2-0 victory over my good buddy ZoroDark. I'd like to point out that CB Primeape and Guts Swellow were unable to break through my Bulky Musharna which enabled it to kill them and eventually have a mini-sweep, giving me the win. Musharna's bulk is basically the imperitive factor in my victory. GG Zoro!

My opponent managed to gain alot of early game momentum due to me missing a Rock Blast and getting SR + 1 layer of Spikes. Turn 8 was an extremely important turn in the battle as I Foresight predicting him to switch into his Rotom, allowing me to get off a Rapid Spin. Turn 11 was also fairly important as I make a double switch into Moltres predicting Bisharp, allowing me to get a Roost off and further threaten Hot n Cold's team. My game plan was to eventually get a Choice Scarf Durant sweep (with Swarm as ability not Hustle) and I was able to do that once Rotom/Bisharp were dead. I did miss a Megahorn in the battle which resulted in me losing Rhydon but it didn't matter in the end :] Your team: Hitmonchan / Lilligant / Slowking / Rhydon / Durant / Moltres Opponent's team: Bisharp / Tangrowth / Slowking / Rotom / Crustle / Krookodile YouTube channel link : www.youtube.com/NBAussie (yes im willing to narrate)

Hey Kyrk, Thanks for letting me know about this; I didn't forget :). I was waiting to see if I could get some good replays. And hey, I'll submit the first match I had against you too (which was pretty good). I've got two matches to submit, both in Wifi UU. Both have some good predictions on both sides, and are both very close, so they should be interesting. To give you some context, my rating was about 1400, so both these matches were pretty high up on the ladder (not that you'd need it - you probably know my opponents).
