The Close Combat Tournament
Approved by Jimbo
​

I am hoping that because I am using a bracket for this tournament, that this thread should be able to suffice throughout it's completion.
If I feel that it is not working, I will post a thread for each round.
~ Ditto

Description

• A Battle that mixes large doses of both skill and luck. Both players have 1 pokemon, so they cannot switch out or escape. 2 pokemon enter, but only one can be victorious. You have only 1 pokemon to counter 481 possible pokemon (including different forms), but so does your opponent. Note that because Focus Sash seems too easily abused in this sense, it will be banned for this Tournament.

Rules

• Single Elimination: Once you lose, you are no longer in the Tournament.
• Level 100 1 vs 1: Each player will only bring 1 pokemon into the battle. Battle with be set to Level 100.

• Hax Items Clause: Bright Powder, Focus Band, Quick Claw, Lax Incense, King's Rock, Razor Fang, Scope Lens, and Razor Claw cannot be held by your pokemon.
• Soul Dew Clause: Soul Dew cannot be held by your pokemon.

• OHKO Clause: A pokemon may not use Horn Drill, Sheer Cold, Guillotine,or Fissure.
• Self KO Clause: A pokemon may not use Destiny Bond, Explosion, Perish Song, or Selfdestruct.
• Activity Clause: If you are inactive and your opponent is actively trying to get the match done, they will be awarded the win. If both players are equally active or inactive, the win will be decided by a coin flip.

Deadline: Friday July 16th, 2010

Bracket

​

 

[leonmachar]

O.o big bracket XD ill contact yoshi as soon as I figure out what pokemon to use

 

[ck49]

Quick question: is latias allowed? Its not OU anymore but you put soul dew clause in so...

edit: never mind, i didn't see latias under the "uber clause section"

I will contact basketball player once I finish training the pokemon I am using.

edit 2: also, it really hard to find your match on here, so could you also put a list of battles for this round up. I found mine, but I cant ctrl+f coolking49 to find it. Maybe I'm just lazy.

edit 3: oh yeah, good luck to all.

 

[Cybertron]

Contacted my opponent, waiting for a response.

 

[Badal]

Contacting skarm its pretty easy to loose to him, he's on IRC mostly

 

[7014gree]

VMd PoisonStar

Ill probably ask you on IRC anyway, but can we change which pokemon we use between rounds?

 

[samgei]

Awesome job ditto, i shall be contacting itsuki soon and we can arrange from there.

 

[Jio]

I went and contacted Alaka.

 

[samgei]

yep ive just contacted itsuki, should be playing thursday or after, if he says thats ok

 

[Shining_Latios]

PMed KenW to check out when we could play. Anyone know if he will be on IRC or something?

 

[Wild Eep]

Sent Gamings a VM.

 

[mudkipmaster]

I lost to Proddit...... ::( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

 

[Proddit]

Can't believe I won. I was there for a while trying to choose a good pokemon though. I guess I lucked out a lot then, lol.

 

[Alaka]

I put the pairings in text form for people who want to do predictions.

Youre going to the ATL VGC too?

 

[drcossack]

Youre going to the ATL VGC too?

Yup. Have fun. :)

I assume that we must use the same Pokemon throughout the course of this tournament? I ask only because I have two different strategies I'd like to try out.

I imagine you can, but Ditto would have a better answer.
