Multi Gen Ubers Battle of the Week: Mk. III (Week 18: Voting OPEN)

Krauersaut · Oct 5, 2015

This thread seems to have the curse of killing the OP...... meh, maybe I'll finally quit this damn game.

The premise is simple! Each week, you can vote for up to two of your favorite Ubers players to duke it out in a semi-official platform, where Pokéblood, sweat and lots and lots of salt will be spilled. You'll just be voting for the player you want to see play - the tier and format are (almost) entirely up to them, the sole prerequisite being that it must pertain to a past or current Smogon Ubers metagame - however, you may suggest a tier alongside your vote.

A few notes - first of all, please try to vote for active people who might actually get the match done. As much as I'd love to see Furai vs Blim, we all know that isn't going to happen. On that note -

Donkey
Astounded
Jibaku
Shrang
Orch
Evuelf
Sweep

Second, if you wish to be added to the above list of people who don't want to be voted for, contact me via PM or VM, or simply post in this thread. Likewise, if you want to be removed from the list, follow the same procedure.

Please DO NOT start voting for the week until I say voting is open. I do actually have some semblance of a social life outside of Smogon (or, at least, I'd lead you to believe), and I'm just as busy as the next person. If you overload me with stuff, I'll push the big red button mentioned later on in this post.

Should you be voted for, congratulations! The community has decided they want to ~~burn you at the stake~~ bear witness to you and your fellow competitor give it their all. A few really basic guidelines include:

Try to refrain from using joke teams.

Now, there will be exceptions to this, of course. For example, Kebabe is a player known for using gimmicks and smashing people with them, and it would be acceptable to see him bring Venomoth to a match. However, if Haruno were to bring Venomoth to a match, I'd saute him in a marinade of Lord Outrage's juicy, flavourful tears.

Contact your opponent, decide a format, schedule a time and post both the latter in this thread.

Aside from hype value, we want to watch this live! And isn't that just a little bit sad.

I cannot possibly stress this enough: SAVE REPLAYS.

The world deserved to see Edgar vs xtrashine SPL 6, but they can't now. >:[ Anyway, the standards for these matches are relatively high, and replays are a great resource both for those wanting to get into the game and to those looking to spectate a decent quality match at leisure, especially if they can't be there while it's actually happening.

I will occasionally force ORAS to be played (I'll never force an oldgen to be played), as it has the most appeal to the general public, and I'm sure several of the BotW mainstays would prefer to play oldgens, so I've got to have some kind of countermeasure.

Lastly: there is a giant-ass red button hovering over this thread that says "exterminate", and I retain the right to push it at any given time, whether it's for general stupidity, activity decline, whatever. Don't make me push it.

That's not too complicated, right? Now then - let's make what was in the past the most popular thread in Ubers a thing again!
