In one of my most suspenseful battles, I lost to Trees 0-1

It literally came down to the wire.
EDIT: I made the dumbest move at the end of the battle. D;

Sorry, but I'm going to have to duck out of this tournament.

Bracket so far. We have really made some great progress already and have had some great battles. Thank you all for being such great participants!

Im back home, i can battle again

Due to Giratina519's Inactivity for over a week, I gave the win to Pianomaster19 who has been ready and waiting. If he does not log in for another 3 days or so, I will eliminate him from the tournament. Here are the current brackets!

I beat Turt 3-0

http://challonge.com/sk98bxbw

I beat Mr. Pianomaster19 2-0. I'm shaking from the nerves, it was one of the best battles I've ever had. Really tense; it lasted 40 long rounds, and about 25 gut-wrenching minutes. I'm literally shaking from the nerves.

Hmmm im thinking i should open my gym back up after this tourny is over. Cant wait to battle tough challengers again.

Hows Karl and Sub-Zero's battle coming along?

http://challonge.com/sk98bxbw

Let's go guys let's get these battles done!!!

I lost 4-0. One look at that team and I knew I'd lose. It's one of those typical teams, wink wink.

Good game both guys!!!

Trees emmerges victorious over Karlweisner 4-0!!! He is the first contestant to make it to the finals!!!

Giratina519 will be eliminated due to inactivity. Reuniclus advances.

The tournament is more than half way done guys!!! Hurry up and finish your battles though because we only have a week left!!!

Eh I lost 0-2 To Pianomaster19

Got the best of Pianomaster19 5-0... He showed great sportsmanship allowing me to thaw from an unlucky freeze by recovering his Pokemon! That shows true character!!!

http://challonge.com/sk98bxbw

Which also caused my downfall incidently by not predicting a thaw (but who does really) when he got it and allowing my physical wall to take an extra hit. Nonetheless I played a bit too aggressively after that trying to come back and failed. Congrats to Matty for moving on!

Edged out KarlWeisner 1-0 in a very haxy battle! What a heart pounder!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I would like to propose an idea in which you guys can give me some feed back on! As most of you probably know, this tournament is going to be bi-annual which allows the "Champion of Victory Road" title to change hands twice a year. With school coming up, intensive tournaments will be tough to have so I was thinking we could do something more light-hearted from now until winter break. What I have in mind is a Victory Road Team Tournament! The idea is to have 5 teams with 4 people on each team. To determine the teams, I will have the players who place top 5 in this tournament become team captains. From there, a snake-draft (one which starts with the player who places 1st, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and then wraps around in the order 5,4,3,2,1) will be implemented to determine who is on which team. Each team will battle each once which means every player will have ideally 4 battles. The tiers that will be played are OU, UU, RU, and NU in which every player will get to play one battle in each of the aforementioned tiers by the end of the tournament. The team with the most INDIVIDUAL wins will be Victory Road's championship team! I will try to come up with some cool prize ideas for the winning team. What do you guys think? Feel free to shoot me suggestions about ANYTHING!

Find enough active members that will actually participate to completely, and that'd be a pretty cool idea.

Just going to keep reposting this so more people will get a chance to see it.

To bad we couldnt do a Tag Tournament. Like do Multi-Battles 2v2 doubles, but it will ge hard as you would all 4 players being online at once.

Plus me and grass till have our battle to do. When we get the chance.

I feel we should have a limit on OU Pokemon to like, 1. Lol. I'm kind of tired of battling Rotoms and Thunduras all the time. Just to keep win chances from being only about the Pokemon. That team battle seems interesting, but gathering 20 people who'll participate on this forum can be challenging.

We could just have no OU mons at all for our next tournament.

I suppose so. I mean, there's nothing wrong with pure OU teams (I use them too), but for the sake of mixture and fun, the tournaments could take a different turn.

sub-zero won 4-0

Won due to by passing hax! Yay! 4-0 Good game, Phantom!

Mr. Kakashidragon completely dominated me in a flattening 5-0. GG, regardless!

I forfeited. 5-2 D:

Wow all of these battles went down tonight! awesome guys! I will update the brackets!

Confirming my victory against Sub. Everyone seems to be using the one Pokemon that I hate facing. :s

http://challonge.com/sk98bxbw

- Very close to the end guys. What a ride it has been so far. 16 competitors narrowed down to 5. Who will be the one to leave this tournament the Champion of Victory Road?

I lost to Grass 0-4

Yeah, I don't want to talk about this one >_<

Confirming my match with Reuniclus. That match really showed the importance of a single missed move.

Very fun battle with Grass. Won 3-0, I really liked the team he used!

http://challonge.com/sk98bxbw

... AND THEN THERE WERE 3!!! I am VERY excited to see how the rest of this tournament will play out!

Will Trees be able to battle in the next few days? I should be able to battle now as im not busy as much this weekend.

Well i hear if trees dosnt battle me by tomorrow night, i'll get a win by default and go on to battle Matty for the finals.

Good Game Trees. I won 5-2 (he forfeit at the end) We had to do a re-battle due to trees connection lost, but even then his was tricky to play around.

I escaped my bout with Trees with a 2-0 win. There was some crucial hax on both sides and nonetheless it was a great game! Trees takes a strong 3rd place!!!!!!!!!

As for the finals, Kakashidragon and I will face off soon to determine the CHAMPION OF VICTORY ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For Kakashi to win, he only needs to beat me once whereas I will need to win twice in a row to emerge victorious. I will give it my all and then some! Good luck Kakashi!!!!!!!

http://challonge.com/sk98bxbw

And good luck to you too Matty

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE VICTORY ROAD CHAMPION KAKASHIDRAGON!!! He beat me 2-0 in a tough battle. I made one big over prediction that cost me the match and he took advantage of it and brought home the win!!! I will try to figure out a good prize for him for winning!

- Thank you so much to everyone who participated! I had a great time and I would NOT have been able to do it without all of you!!! I will be holding this tournament over winter break as well so I hope you all play again! Until then, congratulations Champion Kakashi!!!!!!!

This is what the final bracket looks like, everyone.
