Might as well do predictions.
picklesword vs Jackal- picklesword is a very solid battler, and while Jackal is also, I think picklesword's creativity wins out here.
GG vs LonelyNess- GG swept division so I guess he deserves respect, but I know LonelyNess and I think his skill wins out.
Taylor vs Michilele- I don't know Michilele, and Taylor is always very solid, so he gets the nod.
batpig vs COalex- Huy swept the hearts of the world with his dominating sweep of his division in the first round, and I say his momentum carries over into this round.
Jirachi268 vs Gormenghast- shutup gorm.
dynamo vs Mysterious Stallion- MS is one of the more underrated battlers for some reason, and evidently he has a special team for this one :D I can't wait to see it.
Lockon vs maddog- Anubis is a great battler (evidenced by his holding the #1 and #3 positions on Ladder), and of course, a member of the elite Team Metro.
Foreys vs Thunderhorse- *smacks him bottem*
Giga Punch vs Sonuis- GP is game. (classically angry as well, it seems)
Sapientia vs Obi- I've faced Sapienta and beaten him everytime on my cleverone alt on Shoddy, and I can't even boast a .500 (or close to it) against Obi, so this one is obvious to me.
Melon vs salaspectrum- boooooaaaaahhhhh and salas is really good :D
Maniaclyrasist vs FiveKRunner- Maniaaaaaaaaac rocks.
aldaron vs Hipmonlee- GG, sir.
Earthworm vs zerowing- Earthworm is great...zero is only great in my heart. Also, I don't even know if zero DPs that much lol, if this was ADV it would be zerowing
CLegacyM vs Loki- GG, sir.
JabbaTheGriffin vs DD.- Jabbaaaaaaaaaaa rocks.
husk vs Stalling- GG, sir.
rojo23 vs Brawley- Brawley...
Floppy vs Antique Roadshow- AR is very solid (though experiencing some down time lately...hopefully that will pass!!)
HIGHLIGHTS:
Of the matches remaining, Gouki v. MoP, IPL v. Pilocus, VIL v. Phuquoph, hibachi v. Fade_Away, and omni v. TAY are all deserving of highlight matches and therefore tough to call.
Gouki v. MoP- I'd say MoP is a great battler, but Gouki is the very epitome of underrated and I think even if MoP does have a slight advantage over Gouki, Gouki will rise to the occasion. Why? Team Canada depends on Gouki to advance, whereas Asia can take a hit. That doesn't make any logical sense? Fuck off.
IPL v. Pilocus- Man this was a tough one. I'm going to go with the person who is considered by many to be at least top 3 all time in team building for the ADV generation, and possibly top 3 overall battler. Pilocus has been so hot in recent tournaments though that I think he may have the God of Statistics on his side...
VIL v. Phuquoph- I hear from my teammate Iggybot that Phuquoph more than rose to the occasion and defended his reputation impressively (I don't personally know how Phuquoph is as a battler since I have never knowingly seen him battle), and he seemed to dominate his division. On the other hand, you have VIL, who, while only in the DP game for about a month to two months, is, well, VIL. He also beat me 2-0 last night lol, so I'm going with him.
hibachi v. Fade_Away- I've faced both many times, and they have all been good matches. From what I remember of both, I say hibachi has the advantage in this one. Fade_Away was in the top 8 of ST4, so he might have some luck in tournaments as well (since getting far in single elimination tournaments is largely influenced by luck!!).
omni v. TAY- TAY is another underrated battler. omni also kicked my ass in ST4. Tough call. I go with TAY because I know she (don't know your gender and you come across as a girl to me. If you aren't a she...well sorry dude >_>) is more knowledgeable of the DP metagame than omni.
