Still more challengers have entered Kitchen Coliseum!
Chef
Sacri' brought an interesting dish to challenge Iron Chef Hairy Toenail, using a balance team with the rare Choice Specs Slowking, and a solid defensive foundation to the dish formed of Florges, Shaymin and Porygon2. Chef Sacri' came out of the gate strong, taking out two of Iron Chef baenail's most dangerous threats, special Salamence and Mega-Abomasnow, early in the match. However, Sacri''s Specs Slowking turned out to be a liability when it tricked its Specs onto baenail's multi-boosted Reuniclus, which proved to be too much for Sacri''s dish, and Sacri' became the first to fall before Iron Chef Hairy Toenail.
Sacri' was soon to have company, however. Chef
LilOuOn also challenged Iron Chef Hairy Toenail, bringing a terrifying dish featuring such threats as Toxic Orb Heracross, Curselax and Taunt LO Hydreigon. Chef LilOuOn was also the first to bring the bulky Alomomola to the arena, holding his plate together healthy with its massive Wishes. Chef LilOuOn applied excellent pressure early on, but once Alomomola was brought down and a lucky critical dropped Hydreigon, Iron Chef baenail's SubDD Feraligatr managed to easily sweep the remainder of Chef LilOuOn's team.
Decision Makers brought an excellent balanced plate to the arena against Iron Chef YABO, built around a VoltTurn core of Mienshao, Mega-Ampharos and Gligar, with CM Slowking serving as the focal point of the dish. What followed was a long, grueling battle of the ages as the two chefs attempted to wear down each other's balance teams. After more than 60 turns, Decision Makers' Mega-Ampharos managed to take down the Roar Suicune that had been preventing DM's Slowking from doing much work, though it took a fatal burn and ultimately perished in the process. From there the teams continued to grind each other down until a full 100 turns, when Chef Decision Makers' Slowking brought home the victory.
Finally, regarding additional challenges to Iron Chefs: in the interest of keeping things simple, for this round I am only going to allow one challenge against an Iron Chef. If another Iron Chef agrees to battle you, you're more than welcome to include that replay for the judges to help show off your team, but I don't want to bog things down too much with repeat challenges.
That said,
Mazz had a potential suggestion: allowing multiple Iron Chef battles, where winning gives you +2 points and losing means -1 points. This would discourage people from challenging multiple Iron Chefs if they were not confident in their dish, but would allow a Chef to potentially pick up as many as 8 bonus points. I don't want to change the rules so drastically this round, but I'm curious to see what people think about a suggestion like that for future rounds.
