Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Quarterfinals are done, and next up are the semifinals (medal fights). We have 5 competitors (because by a stroke of luck, both of my remaining noms forced a tie and moved on together), but that shouldn't be much of an issue. One match will be a triple (obviously) and the other is regular.Even if we get a tie, whoever wins in the semis will face off in the finals. It's also interesting to note that aside from Xerneas, everyone remaining is from Hoenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Very strange that it was the only match with only 8 votes.Both my nominations are down. Looks like I'm hoping for Masquerain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 We'll have to see what Masquerain ends up facing.Half the chance it ends up facing my noms, 1 chance it faces against Nai (Altaria) and another chance to fight against Jirachi. Although there's also the possibility of it facing two noms at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Since it's already in quarterfinals, wouldn't an extension be better for ties rather than a 3-of match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I tried doing 3-day fights in the past; after day 2, interest starts to wane and it's essentially dead for 24 hours until the autolock kicks in.As mentioned, I don't mind the triple matches. Just need to let RNG decide fate here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 tbh I am really surprised Jirachi has lasted this long. Pleasantly surprised, but still surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Well, as of this round, Latias breaks her tournament track record + makes it to the medaling rounds.That's an accomplishment of her own (though record for noms in general is still runner-up by Lucario, who unfortunately is no longer here) But yeah, Jirachi is also in contention for a medal, so there's that.That's good. ----Kill list-wise, it's down to only one 'mon.

~British Soul~ Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Lilligant is down, so that's good, though the black marked Altaria moves on. I am surprised Masquerain won tbh, and for reference Lance lost to Archie (manga Archie to be exact as he/Guile Hideout had a Masquerain in the Emerald chapter of Adventures).Latias and Xerneas both moving on, you could say that was a bit of a miracle. Even if we get a tie, whoever wins in the semis will face off in the finals.If we do get a tie in the semis, then it'd only be the 3 finalists that'll be getting a medal.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I haven't gotten that far in Emerald Adventures (though again, blame lack of access to the chapters).Think there's a manga site that has scans of them; that's acceptable enough for my taste. But yeah, if we get a tie in the semis, that's how things will turn out. ---Indeed, I had expected Dragonite to trash Masquerain, but that came out as an upset.Though, Masquerain still living means that it's still on my kill list (but last one, so once it dies, my kill list is cleaned out) Both of us have kill targets that are blacklisted.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Semi-final matches are up (I haven't forgotten about them).Given a random coin flip by RNG, match 6-2 is the one that got a triple. (More heads = 6-1 being triple; more tails = 6-2) [spoiler=I have a screenshot of the match pairings if needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm not surprised that there was a delay in posting the semis because of the Halloween event and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 So I assume this means the lowest voted of the final match is 3rd, next is 2nd, and winner is 1st?In either case...OH MY GOSH MASQUERAIN MADE IT TO THE FINALS. This is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah, as far as match logic goes.(I do have 4th place medals in case stuff happens; not as pristine as regular ones, but it's something.) So in case stuff happens.Co-champions or co-runner-ups; Latias and Jirachi get 3rd placeRegular stuff; Latias/Jirachi get 4th.And apparently yes, Masquerain made it. Xerneas won this one, though it probably deserved it.Rest well, Latias-chan, you fought your best and broke your record; that's about as much as I can ask from you. If you'll excuse me, I'm taking my Eon out for dinner as commemoration for her progress.Xerneas can handle itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I wouldn't mind too much if either Xerneas or Masquerain win tbh (seeing as Altaria is on my kill list still)But yeah, no medal for Jirachi or Latias as the final is a 3-way affair.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 They get 4th place medals (which aren't as pretty as standard gold-silver-bronze, but we'll see).Like I mentioned above, if there's a tie in the final, then Latias/Jirachi get bumped up to third place. (I probably should've changed my vote to Altaria when I had the chance; would've killed off my last bingo target, and final would've been simpler to deal with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 4th place medals don't even exist.Anywho, if there is a tie in the finals, only Latias should get a Bronze as she got more votes than Jirachi in the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 We'll see how things turn out, but if push comes to shove, that'll likely be the case. (Then again, 6-2 got a lot more attention.) So far, it's a 2nd place tie between Xerneas and Masquerain (Nai is still winning by a single vote), but that'll probably change between now and Halloween.

~British Soul~ Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Most definitely, especially since Xerneas is now tied with Altaria (at time of posting), hopefully someone breaks that tie because I don't think we can have a tied Champ.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 It'll probably break eventually, assuming we get the usual people who vote for Altaria. Come to think of it, I'm still unsure if people are doing it because Altaria's actually good [and yeah, it got good this generation] or because of other reasons (one of them being in a similar vein to me/Zextra with our own avatars). Not going to question it though, but just out of interest. Though we might get Xerneas voters, and that'll push a Kalos Poke into contention for the champion tournament. Or we get another upset; who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Well...Masquerain managed to pull another close upset over Xerneas and Nai.So in conclusion, it wins. (Though, one vote could've made all of the difference either way; whether it forces a champion tie or a runner-up one) With this, I pass on the GPT reins to whoever's hosting the 7th rendition of this tournament, whenever this may be, and declare the end of GPT 6. ----I'll leave this open for a couple hours for last minute thoughts and stuff, then I'll lock it.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I suppose there were enough people who wanted to see a really gimmicky Poke win, especially faced off against Xerneas and Nai (you know this means Altaria, right?), which are a lot more viable. Though, as I mentioned, it was a rather close match (Xerneas had the lead for a good while, but Masquerain suddenly came out of the back burner). Well, at least Xerneas got silver, so that's a good thing. ----I suppose we could have a hypothetical match about what would've happened if it were just Masquerain and Altaria (if, for some reason, I didn't want the final to be a 3-way, and they settle the scores). Nah, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 ehhhh, a post-final what if match felt like a bad taste. Congrats to Masquerain for winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 That's why I voted against the notion. So in order, assuming my memory hasn't gone down to sheet yet in terms of GPT winners:FlygonRayquaza (not under my command, I think)VaporeonZigzagoonVenusaurMasquerainHmm, this list contains mostly Hoenn 'mons and two Kanto ones.Nothing from Johto and nothing from Sinnoh and beyond...yet.
