~British Soul~ Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 As much as I'd like to have some optimism that the last two noms I have will survive their matches, chances are that they'll get killed.I can say the same about the four I have left to fight. I'm expecting at least one more death this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dr Professor Spaz Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I only have Alolan Ninetales left (and I still haven't really bothered to check whether any of my mons is still in the loser bracket) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I haven't even randomized the loser bracket yet due to coursework and other stuff. But yeah, I have a sinking feeling that one of the last two 'mons I have remaining will go down this round. Matches will be up maybe tomorrow after I take care of my weekly assignments (and yes, randomize the brackets). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I don't want to be an annoyance but it's been a while, what's up with this? As I've mentioned already, I have summer school things to take care of, plus other things that need my attention offline; hence why I can't post these matches on a daily basis. I do have the L2 matches settled (though it's much larger than I anticipated); hopefully should have them up by tonight or tomorrow at latest. Sakura's probs busy with IRL stuffs Pretty much this, and again linked to summer school for dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I wish I didn't have to do it, but in the interest of not killing myself during course registration in the fall and in future semesters, yeah. Still only one course, but you get it. But anyway, the first 8 matches of the loser bracket are up now. Much like L1, I'm just leaving a list of the competitors and you pick 4 of them. (L2 has 137 competitors combined from winners of L1 and whoever bit the dust in Round 2; I did worry about the size, so...) ====Same rules apply (though not mentioned in the threads)You can vote for up to 4 nominations, though you are not required to use them all. If you vote for more than 4, I will disregard your votes.10 word minimum for voting posts. (So far, you guys have been good about this. There were some small incidents with shortposting, but nothing major and a couple of them were rectified later. Only one that wasn't fixed was someone comparing Toucannon to a macho man or something.)Respect other people's votes.All of the matches should be public/multi-vote, but let me know if they aren't.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Now that summer school's over (yay!), I can continue doing the tournament. No, I didn't forget about this, but was too busy to post the matches.Rest of the loser bracket ones are up; I will do the rest of Round 3 afterwards. As usual, let me know if the matches don't have public/multi-voting enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 So don't mean to be a pain but it's been a while. ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'll get to it by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Trying to run Postseason, take care of some staff business in the background and catching up on stuff I had to put off during summer school isn't helping. But yeah, I didn't forget about this tournament. (The remainder of the brackets are on my desktop, which I am not using right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah, it's been a month/half since the actual regulation matches were posted; now you got the remainder. Now I need to go back and check the winners since it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I would like to point out one funk up with these matches;Pretty sure Phanpy defeated Scizor in match 3-13 therefore 3-23 needs to be fixed as it's a duplicate match as t stands.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I went back and checked; 3-23 is supposed to be Vulpix-A vs Whimsciott; least using the tags to determine who fought and who didn't. I'll address that and extend the voting on that one for longer due to the mixup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'm pretty sure Goodra went through to R3, yet it hasn't been involved in any of the matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 (This is what happens when I don't double check the matches when the pairings are made, but yeah Goodra won its match in 2-27. It has been added to 3-23.) So yeah, those of you who voted in there need to redo your votes because the match was incorrect. I apologize for the inconvenience.

~British Soul~ Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Status report; none of my blokes made it through that batch, meaning I'm left with the 5 'mons who had already made it through previously. Yeah, this is Whimsicott right now;That's the third of my 'mons it has killed. I'm having GPT7 flashbacks with Garchomp when it killed 3 of my 'mons within 4 roundsHopefully the RNG goddess doesn't pit one of my remaining blokes against Whimsicott in the next round.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 At least Latias and Jolteon made it this time, which gives me some relief, considering how badly RNG sheet over the 'mons I had in the previous batches in June (well, some were legitimate close ones but yeah). But yeah, let's hope not, though the RNG can be a jabroni and decide to screw everyone over. =====Now to scroll back a month and look at the last batches to determine pairings for R4 and L3 because as you guys probably know, there's been a very big gap between the matches.

~British Soul~ Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 *looks at the OP*...I think we should let Alola Vulpix go through from 3-23 (for coming second in that match) seeing as Whimsicott had already gotten through to R4 in 3-5.It'd be easier than having to replay the match due to a funk up that went unnoticed till after the match ended.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Another instance of me facepalming about how the hell that was not caught; must have forgotten to tag the match or I just left it as Vulpix or something this time and it got lost. But yeah, just let Vulpix go through. (I'll update the match ending for 3-23; still doesn't give Goodra a reprieve though.) I will need to be more thorough in checking that matches are accounted for properly for future matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 From the votes I made this round, Lycanroc, Toxapex and Quagsire didn't make it; my nomination Quilava made it, while I lost Gastrodon. I would have voted for Whimsicott too, but I forgot; it still won, anyway.The support Jolteon gets has me impressed: 7 votes vs. 3 against Toxapex. I mean, although I'm not a fan of eevolutions, even if I had to choose 1, it wouldn't be Jolteon, so I find intriguing that it gets so many votes.

~British Soul~ Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I would have voted for Whimsicott too, but I forgot; it still won, anyway.All Whimsicott votes in that match were irrelevant anyway, as it won in an earlier match this round.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Either Jolteon had a bigger fanbase than expected (due to Eeveelution, design or whatever else), or people didn't like Toxapex as much as we would've thought, despite its uses competitively. Jolteon's technically my #2 Eeveelution behind Espeon, and yeah, I've actually trained one. Toxapex, haven't used it much if at all; likely due to trying to find its pre-evo in the wild or trying to deal with jackasses on GTS who want outrageous stuff. (I'll save the venting on them for the S/M thread). ====Same could be said for a lot of other matches; the 'mon that we think is going to win suddenly gets an upset loss from the least likely nominations. Some people like the 'mon for design or appearance (which usually is for the stuff that doesn't fare well in Smogon / marked as "early region stuff"); others prefer them for competitive value and team building, or whatever. I can't say what people are voting on when they choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 All Whimsicott votes in that match were irrelevant anyway, as it won in an earlier match this round. Ah, I see. Then nothing was lost or missed xDI did read your comments above about some confusions, but didn't bother to check them thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
