Welcome to the opening tournament for Touhoumons v5, a Solomod created by Akira that features characters from the Touhou Project series of games.
Hosted by Akira
This is a mod I've spent years on with multiple full revisions, v5 is the first one I think is really competitively viable and so I'm hosting a tournament with a cash prize to see what it looks like in a competitive environment with something on the line. The mod includes 121 unique characters, including all characters appearing in Windows-era Touhou games + Vivit from Seihou Project. It is intended to be playable in a competitive singles and doubles environment, but this tournament is for 6v6 singles.
The format is a Double Elimination bracket, with players competing in a best of 3 each round. Matches will be played on Dragon Heaven in the Touhoumons format.
The winner will receive 25€, and if the tournament gets 32 signups or more, the runner-up will also receive 10€.
Standard Smogon tournament rules apply, replays will be mandatory for all rounds. Matches must be played on the Dragon Heaven server where Touhoumons is fully coded and playable.
To sign up, simply reply to the thread with "In"
Signups will close on Friday 25th at 23:59 GMT+2.

Since the purpose of the tournament is to develop the metagame, I will not be providing any pre-built teams. However, Touhoumons has a detailed spreadsheet with all important information. I have also created multiple sample sets for every Pokémon, which can be viewed below and imported into Showdown.

Payouts will be delivered in the form of a gift card for the recipient's desired service, provided the service is international and gift cards for it are reasonably accessible (Amazon, Steam, Nintendo, Apple...)

These sets should be taken mostly as ideas towards creating good sets. I am primarily a Balanced Hackmons player and the only EV-limited tiers I have much experience in are the relatively experimental Inheritance and Camove Chaos, so these sets are likely not optimal. The idea in providing them is to give an idea at a glance of what kinds of things a mon can be running.
The mod was not created with the intention that all characters would be viable, I have created 3 sets for the vast majority of the characters, but some of these are certainly stretches or outright unviable. I do not advise creating teams by just grabbing 6 sets from this paste.

Regarding bugs, if any are discovered that cause a game crash (which is unlikely given there has been a decent amount of playtesting), the match must be replayed (potentially with the offending element changed). Non-critical bugs will hopefully be fixed by the time the tournament begins but any existing ones are listed in the Touhoumons v5 spreadsheet.
Please report any bugs encountered to me on Discord or Smogon ASAP.
In the event that something is found to be egregiously broken or uncompetitive, it is possible that there will be a balance update. This will always occur between weeks. In the case of movepool updates, a challenge code will be provided to use the changes immediately. In the case of stat updates, there is no easy solution so they will be changed whenever Dragon Heaven updates, and as such some games during the week will be played without these changes and others with them. In any case, the update will be clearly posted in the tournament thread and the spreadsheet will be updated ASAP.
