PM me if you have any further questions

SF Pairings:

~ Both players should save the log but the winner of the battle should send it to me via PM. As I have said, this is to ensure that people use legitimate Pokemon as well as for collecting usages. For this reason, I'd ask the winner to write down their 6 pokemon as they may not reveal all of them in battle.

~ PM your opponent as soon as you receive the brackets, this will be used as an indicator of activity should you not complete your matches by the deadline, obviously an extension may be granted for those who genuinely have tried to get their match done but I will DQ anyone or sub them if they are clearly not active during the period.

~ I am only human, please tell me of any mistakes I may have made in the brackets

Malfunction

nice desu ne
These are pretty tough match-ups..
Beef 2.0 vs Panamaxis (This can go either way, but from the way I've seen it, Beef is a legendary LC battler.)
ReyScarface vs HeYsUp (Rey just builds a team and then spammes everything with his powers...)
Good luck guys!
 
Beef 2.0 vs Panamaxis- You have to be good to have gotten this far, im excited for what's instore.
ReyScarface vs HeYsUp -Rey is very impressive to get this far. But I can't go against HYU

here's to hoping we finish all these matches today =-p

Banned deucer.
Beef 2.0 vs Panamaxis
ReyScarface vs HeYsUp

heysup beats beef 2.0 in the finals, sorry rey :(
 
Beef 2.0 vs Panamaxis - Beef is an extremely solid battler, and he definitely has the team to pull this off this win.
ReyScarface vs HeYsUp - GL Rey, I don't know what to expect.

Beef 2.0 vs Panamaxis - I know beef better, and he helped me make my team :)
ReyScarface vs HeYsUp - I used to compete with HYU at the top of the LC Leaderboard, but we stopped... and beef took over >_>.

GG.

Rey Scarface > HeYsUp. (I know HeYsUp is very good at Little Cup, but Rey is not to be underestimated).

Pana, ill see you in the finals bro!

I won 2-0

GG Heysup!

Edit: Crit didnt matter that much TBH. You were at 85%~ and crit did 120%, which means D-Punch is 60%, after that you needed to get past confusion not once, but twice to win, and your LO recoil after 1 hit would leave you at 20%~, and im prettysure Muscle Band Elekid can do that damage!
 
GG Rey.

Was a fun game until a bit of hax at the end making me lose :(

LC is a lot like Poker, unpredictability is always an advantage to have in a best-of-1 series, and it really helped you in that match Rey. It was a fun game that came down to speed ties and crits however, so gg and gl.

just who is the coon?
<+ReyScarface> so yeah...
<+ReyScarface> now all of you go to the tourney thread and post
<+ReyScarface> "whoa Rey, congrats"

whoa Rey, congrats ^_^

But seriously, it is kinda interesing to see 2 non-LCFers in the final D:

That was followed by a swift kick (whoa Rey, congrats) by yours truly :P.

But yea, this shows how experienced tournament players are very skilled and hard to beat no matter what tier. Rey's Pokemon threw me off consistently because of the item choice / move set / whatever. Rey definitely knows how to utilize his unpredictability to his advantage while maintaining a solid team. Same can be said for Panamaxis.

GL to you both!
