Pokémon Showdown Tournament No. 6—Little Cup!




These were a thrill to watch. Looking forward to whenever Orphen feels ready to finish this!

Indeed, i totally expected a 2-0 for Orphen. Im wating for the last bracket and hopefully, a comeback for latin pal!


hey lloyd I was still right kinda technically

GGS! This tournament was quite a bit of fun. Stressfully so, as Gloomy pointed out, but hey hey jimbo! Congratulations to Gloomier, congrats to Orphen, Congrats to whomever got 3rd which I think was Teyla, because that would make me 4th and I sure am


ASSUMING that tradition continues, now we're supposed to argue in favor of whatever meta that we want to see in the next tournament. (which may or may not ever happen lol) (and normally the organizer puts up a poll at some point iirc so this may be pointless of me)

I would go in favor of LC, because its my favorite, but we kind of just did that. (and it went splendidly) So instead, I'll pull for NU, since I don't think we've done it before, and it has a lot of interesting mons in it that otherwise no one ever sees. (obviously)
If I'm wrong about everything, just ignore that above statement and only pay attention to the first paragraph because f me
Being honest im still not convinced that double elimination is a good format for tourneys. For instance we had 16 users playing this tournament and it roughly lasted 3 months, which is a really long time for so few users, but anyway, this tournament was a good show.

And i gotta say im a bit dissapointed at Orphen's loss, but i saw it coming when Gloomier won the first bracket. Perhaps maybe this is not the time for him to win and he may do it later, who knows.

Congrats, Gloom(y)ier as well to Orphen and Teyla (and a hick i guess?)

And if i had to vote for a next tier maybe NU would be good. But i dunno who is going to host since it appeared out of nowhere in the SMWC 2018 calendar. If they didn't told me anything i guess it's going to be Ivy again. He did a good job as a hoster now, tho.

Wowie! Too bad I didn't get to see these live. Gloomy really stole the show with that cinematic comeback. Peep y'all's badges for a Surprise!

I also had no idea about the addition of the next tour in the calendar, but I'd be able to handle it. So as is tradition, how about we nominate some metagames for the next one. Looks like many have gone with NU: I'll throw a wrench into the mix and suggest something wacky like STABmons, considering the fourth one was also an OtherMeta in the form of Monotype.

Re: 3 months tour, the last month of it was only losers bracket catching up. The vast majority of the tour happens at the same rate as usual. At the very least, nobody tried any scummy forfeits as far as I can tell, so that's a good rap for double elim.

Gotta say, you're right with that.
And, again, i feel like you did a good job here.

I wanted to host the next one



I suppose now's as good a time as any to provide a sudden death poll for the two suggested options for next tour.

I think by now its clear that NU won by far. @Ivy
Or at least it seems that it wont change that much.

Meets the 5-vote margin. NU it is!
