C'mon! You can do it too! Your team has a lot of interesting options to trip up the opponent.

Wow Spaceboat! Looking at the teams Sebastians was the most threatining looking, I'll have to check the replay and see what happened 'cause that's interesting.

Awesome show! Can't wait to get started"

the replay system is a little unwieldy but it was fun watching that match. Also Aegislash seems pretty good.

And although it wasn't intentional I have to say its fitting that the person who has a hawlucha got the by, just seems right

When I was battling my friends, I noticed that the most awkward thing is Aegislash vs Aegislash. Most Aegislash run Shadow Sneak and Sacred Sword, so Shadow Sneak is your only option for attacking another Aegislash. But it pretty much always attacks while the other one is in defensive stance, where they might live and Shadow Sneak you back. But then, you can King's Shield to get back into defensive stance and gimp them. So there are a lot of Swords Dances thrown around just waiting for the other guy to blink.

Hey guys me and Seeana battled I won. Here's the video code R89W-WWW-WWW2-29SC

we ended up doing a best out of three just for fun (first win obviously counted for the tournament) if people wanna watch those here they are

d8uw-wwww-www2-2c42

kxbg-wwww-www2-2c73

made so many mistakes in the first and third match so just watch the second one xD.

good games all around and a good learning experience for me. Milkman's ferrothorn was just better then mine and he did he job of getting in sword dances I think.

Those were some pretty good battles. 2x freeze makes that the bossest Vaporeon ever.

In my experience Aegislash mirror matches are at least funny to spectate. Also running Iron head over Sacred Sword is really helpful in that situation.

@m_33 beat me in a pretty fun match :D Here's the code: 9H4G-WWWW-WWW2-3NW8

I won against @m_33. It was a good match. I'll post the replay once the site updates.

@goranp: Ah, well my fault. Haven't really had enough time to actually put together a team anyway. Enjoy the Pokemadness, duders.

DarthOrange won against Wess. Good game!

JZUG-WWWW-WWW2-4X5D

Itwongo rocked his match against me.

R6VG-WWWW-WWW2-42LZ

This is really cool and well organized - good job! I completely hope to already have the game by the time season two comes around, not having it yet is killing me. :(

I got destroyed by ThaMilkMan.

Here is the code: FF2W-WWWW-WWW2-43UL

hey, not destroyed it was a good game :)

lol I had no answer to most of your team. :P

Greninja and Dragonite could've done some things also shuckle might have done something. Just didn't switch in on the right pokes.

OK, maybe I'm dumb but where do I find the code for my last battle on the website?

I found it. YF2G-WWWW-WWW2-48YV

"In Game" ---> Key Items---> VS. Recorder---->click upload folder----> pick video you want to upload.

It then spits out a random code.

Well, I got crushed by Milkman. Not much I could do against an EV trained Gengar that outsped and 1-hit most of my pokemon.

I guess Milkman is the first finalist.

My side of the bracket has to catch up.

Without any walls a Gengar just runs unchecked (same thing happened in your battle with meet). And unfortuately Mega Gengar's speed stat boost doesn't happen until the turn AFTER the mega evolution has occured. But good game none the less

Battle vid here:FCFW-WWWW-WWW2-49QL

Gengars don't get walled... o_o

They get mold-broken. A gengar with Focus Blast (which it should always be carrying can 2HKO all Sp. Def walls aside from Tentacruel and Shuckle.

Anyway, gg on the gengar strat. I'm busting my ass right now getting my 5 IV timid one right now -- taking a bit of time! lol I would love to get in on season 2 and have some gengar wars ;)

Doing this publicly so there's no questioning it.

My internet's been really spotty the last couple days. I'm not sure if my opponent (@soulcake) has been online/waiting for me to play, but regardless, I don't trust it to be reliable for the rest of the season. For the sake of not hindering progress, I forfeit my match.

Chalk me up as a loss in the first round, @goranp, and good luck & batman to everyone still in! Can't wait to watch these battles when my internet stops being a butt.

That's a real shame. Hopefully you'll be able to participate in the next season. :(

@soulcakebeat me in our match but my connection cut out close to the end so I don't have a replay to share.

In this replay, @SpaceBoat and I make a lot of mistakes

2B6W-WWWW-WWW2-7CS4

It was intense as fuuuuck

Also, he won. GG!

RIP Aerodactyl

I have to stop just getting my Ferrothorn killed. Poor guy tries his hardest.

My Absol made up for it with the luckiest crits in the world.

GG!

Loving watching these replays! Is there a reliable way to practice single battles with a full squad of 6? Single battles in the battle spot seem to limit you to a choice of three, and requesting battles from passers by can be a bit tedious.

@aajf: load up a replay, and hit the button to the right of the play button

@itwongo: Thank you! The AI leaves a bit to be desired, but this gives me a little better idea of how my team might fare next time around.

Still waiting on the semi finalist winner!

Can't wait to battle to the end!

It looks like we're going to have our semi-finals battle on Sunday. So start holding your breath.

But don't pass out.

I nominate @ravenlight

Banner question:

Lucha Stantler or Lucha Sawsbuck?

I vote Stantler

I just battled Soulcake and won. Our schedules almost didn't align!

Here's the battle video: JZDW-WWWW-WWW2-FENZ

So the finale can begin, I'm ready whenever you are!
