Round two! Seven remain, and three shall emerge from this next poll. Unless one person gets a supermajority.

-------

This poll will be run with IRV voting, the details of which are outlined here. This means that you can vote for as many options as you like, and rank them by your preference. Be aware that order does matter in your votes! Make sure that you bold your votes and nothing else! A typical vote might look like the following:
Most Preferred
Second Most Preferred
Third Most Preferred

Any comments that the voter has would go below the votes in non-bold text. Bold text is used to determine what the user's votes are, so none of the supplementary text should be in bold.

You are allowed to say whatever you like in relation to your vote at the bottom of your post, but please do not look to begin a discussion. Keep those comments to #cap on IRC.

This poll will be open for 24 hours starting from the post following this one.

Below is CAP 4 so far:

capefeather said:
Name: Risky Business
(formerly "Living On the Edge")

General Description: This Pokémon is very risky to play, but very rewarding if played correctly.

Justification: Many of the Pokémon that are successful in OU are relatively easy to play or have great "safe" options (e.g. U-turn). Yet, many other Pokémon look very powerful, but are less successful than they could be because of some large risks involved (e.g. Hydreigon), and some aren't successful at all (e.g. Honchkrow). This self-balancing concept intends to explore what it takes for a risky Pokémon to be successful, and how much inherent risk a Pokémon can get away with. It should be emphasized that this concept is NOT about luck management, but rather, it is about what the user can afford to do given his/her opponent's options, and vice versa.

Questions To Be Answered:

  • What is the relationship between risk and potential consequences, both positive and negative?
  • What kinds of inherently risky tactics are successful in the OU metagame?
  • Do risky Pokémon need some form of safe options (e.g. switch-ins) to be successful in OU, or can it get away with having few really safe options?
  • How does Substitute, a well-known "safe" move with nearly universal distribution, impact how this Pokémon is built and played?
  • How do existing Pokémon use and deal with risky situations?
  • Can risky Pokémon be played well in the early game, or are they better off put into action later on?
  • How do different playstyles interact with risky situations?

seriously you #cap chaps should feel ashamed of yourselves

now you've got me all worked up ugh

how can I command the respect of the community when I'm not even paying attention to basic capitalisation

anyway, vote

remember, order matters this time!

EDIT: Oh, and remember, in this thread, somewhere, lies CAP's 100,000th post! Will you be the lucky person to grab this milestone in CAP's history? This post here is #99,849, so that should give you some sort of clue...

Well, I was expecting a completely different slate. It's a shame that zombie wasp didn't make it.

Best of luck, everyone! May fate smile upon you all.

I don't really think my glove spider deserved to make it beyond the first round. I do however really appreciate the compliments it got during voting, and I'm glad to have the privilege and honor of participating in the second round on the first CAP I've actually submitted a design for. Thanks again, and good luck to the rest of you.
