Top nominees for week 5 (remember, don't nominate people if they battled the week before)
cbrevan
NitrousAcid
HeaLnDeaL unavailable
PepsiPlunge

Voting is now open; vote for one person you'd like to see battle most. If you are unable to battle this weekend, let me know.
On a side note, replays are unfortunately still down. Are you guys okay with Battle of the Week being a live event and just posting logs afterwards, or should we postpone it until replays are functional? Let me know along with your vote.

hendrix96 and Langur I don't think I'll have the time for this anymore this weekend, so please recast your votes. Besides, I've already been in a BOTW so it would be more fair to give some others a chance.
sparktrain, if you could cross me out of the ballot that would be great. Making new teams sadly isn't something I have time for at the moment, and most of my usual teams are pretty much public knowledge at this point. Still, would love to watch some great matches in between doing homework on my approaching busy weekend.

Battle of the Week #5 will be cbrevan vs. PepsiPlunge!
Post what time this weekend what time you'll be battling. I'll tag Tadasuke here as well since we still have to finish our series. Also, replays are working again!

GGs to cbrevan. A very close set of games that went down to the wire. Further comments below if people want to avoid spoilers, I suppose.
Battle 1: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/cap-187993474
Battle 2: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/cap-187996383
Battle 3: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/cap-187999744
The first and second battles were, in my humble opinion, both decided in Turn One. In the first, I make a predict against his Mega-Altaria that absolutely swings the tide of the match, freeing up my Tomo to do its business as a wall and shut down his various sweepers. From there, it's very difficult for him to gain any footing to mount a comeback, and is slowly worn down by various bulky sweepers on my team. In the second, CBRevan catches me on the first turn with Gothitelle, eliminating my Mega and giving me no response to Zapdos, who proceeds to wall me to heck and back in concert with Goth, who picks off my sweepers at its leisure.
The third battle is a bit of a mirror match, though the main difference between our two teams (our choice in Sylveon sets) ends up being a key factor. Or so it would seem. In the end, there's a bit of hax - sadly my luck simply ran out. GGs, cbrevan.

Those were some great games Pepsi, even with freeze hax rearing its ugly head. You really should have won that third battle, as my team was not prepare for Calm Mind Sylveon in the least (gonna have to try that set out now).
Here are my week 6 nominations too:

Tadasuke and I finished our series, ggs. Here's games 2 and 3.

My rain team (with poor nicknames) versus his VoltTurn team. Talonflame was a huge threat to my team, and my best answer to it was Kabutops, which was conveniently hard walled by his Tomohawk. That coupled with VoltTurn keeping the momentum in his favor sealed my fate in this battle.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/cap-188065453 (ORAS CAP)
My team featuring Mega Glalie versus Tada's team with Mega Metagross. That being said, Volkraken and Greninja ended up being the MVPs.
I'll put my nominations as well.
