[Heysup]

Deep Thought vs. Class - Class beat the almighty Gen.
Articanus vs. Ala - as I said, has a great shot at winning it all.
macle vs. tophway - this is MACLE'S metagame.
Eo Ut Mortus vs. Heysup - fuck you / good luck
dachickens vs. bobtheball4 - I like balls.

Elevator Music vs. eric the espeon - Can you say highlight? High. Light. good. I'm going to have to go against my usual prediction, and guess that EM will win this one. Eric simply hasn't played enough recently, however this metagame is different, so it is still completely up in the air (which was a decent movie btw).

zach the great vs. kd24 - kd is good.
Kannon vs. Psykout22 - another highlight match, Kannon is all around great at battling and Little Cup, but I think Psykout22 is much more creative, which is a big part of this tourny.

Sent in strike out.

 

[Bobtheball4]

Deep Thought vs. Class
Articanus vs. Ala
macle vs. tophway
Eo Ut Mortus vs. Heysup
dachickens vs. bobtheball4 good luck
Elevator Music vs. eric the espeon
zach the great vs. kd24
Kannon vs. Psykout22

I'll send in my strikeout soon.

[franky]

Deep Thought vs. Class
Articanus vs. Ala

[Deep Thought]

I sent in my strikeout. Now to expand upon my paltry knowledge of little cup...gl class!

 

[eric the espeon]

ah, em. this one is going to be a very hard match.

predictions:

Deep Thought vs. Class
Articanus vs. Ala
macle vs. tophway
Eo Ut Mortus vs. Heysup
dachickens vs. bobtheball4
Elevator Music vs. eric the espeon - may the person who plays best win.
zach the great vs. kd24
Kannon vs. Psykout22

Interesting to see Munchy go, and Machop. Guess that without the top two ghosts and Gligar people are worried about fighters. Wonder if replacements like Mankey/Floon will have a large enough boost to become one of the next set banned.

SDS, want to change the illegal movesets link in the OP to here since it's updated with HGSS stuff: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64576

Edit: sent strikeout.
