Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Deadline ought to be a week from now but really I'm not gonna push it in semis if there's scheduling trouble, esp if SM PU is delayed even more
also took a puush of the bracketmaker and posted it in the room so none of this rigging stuff
Why did you stay in to take the mach punch with ursaring? Couldn't you have switched and then disabled mach punch with Gourg or was that too obvious/not possible?

Huge shoutout to pancake for being so chill after this.

Megazard, what is your favorite type of whale? My personal favorite is yo mama. I admire it for its large size, second to only the blue whale, and its sleek, streamlined coloration. There are many worthy species of whales though, so it's not easy to choose. The right whales, for example, can be thought of as cute because they are so chubby, and the coloration around their eyes make them almost look like a bulldog or a pug. Yo mama is thoroughly above average in size and length, she thicc. On the other hand, yo sister is a fan favorite because of its elaborate mating displays and whale calls, and her willingness to 'spread her tailfins' wink wink ;). We don't have to focus only on your direct family of whales though, your cousins can also be appealing to some people! While I'm slightly turned off by the viciousness of Megazards second cousin, I do have to admit it is an impressive specimen. Compared to yo mama, your first cousin is repulsively ugly (though let's remember, true beauty is on the inside, not outside!). When determining a favorite hoe, some people consider thiccness as a category more than anything else. In this case, I would recommend the my sister, the largest animal known to have ever existed. If you lean the other way, then the your aunt whale may be right for you- it ways no more than a male lion! I think that's all the information you need though. Megazard, feel free to take your time before coming up with a response, since I know this is a difficult and thought-provoking question.
Here's a pic for reference:
oh yeah, also
Slowbroth vs Megazard- Very close match but I think Zard's a little more desperate to prove himself, and also more likely to pull the trigger in big situations
Megazard vs CrazyStevy- better player and builder overall, and I think Zard will prep for Stevy's unusual style

And finally I took the finals vs Slowbroth directly after in an epic finals featuring webs, BP, and sand as we desperately tried to out innovate each other. GGs to both of you guys, I wasn't even that convinced that another ORAS tour would be a good idea but after prepping I had a lot of fun with it (even before I won) and I think people definitely showed that there's still room to expand in the meta (I'll post some of the stuff I used later). Also thanks a lot to people like pancakeAkir and Sir Kay and probably more I've forgotten for testing and showing me exactly how garbage some of the builds I never ended up bringing really were.
g1 was a team featuring hone claws simisage + natural gift ground to lure muk (cuz one of crazystevy's bread and butter teams is the muk one), which helps out cm clef and rotom. did alright
g2 was a ho tr team that looked like regular ho spikes, featuring tr dusk and tr bem to clean late game with guts ursa as an abuser
g1 vs megazard was a webs team that was made for megazard builds due to the fact that zard never runs hazard removal (or if he does its a prinplup). some weird shit on my end was ng ice golem to lure vibrava and phys biased mixed zeb. unfortunately i misplayed with my zeb lategame
g2 was my speedpass team i used back a few rounds ago. unfortunately zard's bringing webs foiled my plan of speedpassing since after gorebyss weakened zard's team, scarf ramp wasnt able to clean.
regardless, great finals, had fun playing and innovating some quirky things. thanks to crazystevy for being a great opponent and congrats to megazard for a well run tour!
Nevertheless both of you prepaired and played really well and it was a totally deserved final finals battle. The tour itself was a crazy journey for me, from making a lot of new friends (and some enemies) to giving me an insight of my skill that I have of this game.
Thanks to the 15% of you who actually voted for me in the poll, its maybe a small number but it meant a lot to me.
And at least special thanks go to GeneralAnnoyance, Quagsgone, SchuckeOfDeath and liam nee-san (i will tag later)
