Already some solid rivalry match-ups on Day 2!

The Top 25 is soon to be determined! The bottom 75 positions are now set, but the top of the list is still up for grabs! The Top 25 Pokemon from the end of Round 3's swiss tournament have advanced to a Round-Robin tournament and have been paired up based on previous ranking in order to determine the best of the best.

Simply vote for the Pokemon you like more in each match-up. Matches will last for 24 hours from the initial time of this post. No illegal rallying, alt voting, homicide, etc. Please do not change votes. I reserve the right to amend or clarify these rules at any time.

True, true, but today is another day. Although not likely, the result may change in the rematch, so we can't just assume things would be exactly the same. That and the fact that I said ahead of time that the initial pairing would be based on final standing in the previous round. There's a good chance this won't be the only rematch, given the nature of the swiss tournament last round.

The flag colors are the reverse of the NFL, too. Challenge is yellow and penalty is red. Wonder what the significance of that is.

Well, Riders were looking good to score some sort of points after a turnover, and then they fumbled it away. Then a 10-yard loss on the Rider's later punt return. 23-0 at the half. I don't think I plan on watching any of the second half, but I wanted to see a one-pointer of some sort!

That's what they said in the pre-game that I was only half listening to. The Roughriders had much higher expectations for this season but have begun 0-2. Both teams are seeking their first win.

23-0 as Chris Williams picks up TD #2

Yeah, not seeing much D so far. Dropped passes and "major penalties" are about it

Yeah, but what's really screwy is that the uprights are at the front of the endzone. That's just hazardous.

It's probably so that you don't have to add 30 yards on to each FG to account for the endzone

But yeah, the goalpost in front struck me as odd too. The NFL used to be the same way but changed things for those hazard reasons, and now seeing it like that is just strange

Alright, here's where we stand. The bottom 75 is good to go, but I am not going to reveal it until the entire list is complete. I'm sorry to have to do this, but I have discovered that internet will not be available while I am gone next week, leaving tomorrow and returning Saturday night. This leaves us with 4 options for proceeding with this contest:

A) Cram the entire Round 4 into the next 12 hours
B) Put the contest on hold for a week until I get back
C) Give someone else the Top 25 data and have them start the round-robin tournament for me
D) Forget Round 4 altogether and just go with the Top 25 finishers in the Swiss-style tournament


Any input is greatly appreciated.

Super offensive's the way to go. Sometimes you get lucky, and they'll do the same, and leave one big column of blocks and kill themselves, but it doesn't happen very often. Only way to truly know you've killed them is to give them so much garbage, that once they finish one of their huge chains, they don't have enough blocks to make a single match. Always feels good when you win that way.

This is a very satisfying way to win! Leave them no options! And you know it's effective, since it seems like that's the way that they always beat you!

Pokemon Puzzle League THE BEST

It may have been frustrating on Super Hard, but boy was it enjoyable! Well kind of... I'll admit that that mostly just came down to luck. But you have to practice up and do your best at countering their garbage by lining up insane links under the garbage each time it drops down!

Maybe it's because I grew up on it, but Very Hard usually doesn't take more than 30 or so continues, and more recently I've generally shot for no continues on Hard. Super Hard is rather annoying, but that's to be expected I suppose. Oh, but that C-l-l-l-oyster and all the other drawn-out Pokemon sounds. They are the stuff of nightmares!

That was also part of the reason, really. I didn't feel we needed another Latias/Latios matchup, seeing as we already know who the winner is there. What we ended up with was:

Infernape > Latios > Zebstrika > Latias > Dratini

which is actually how the computer spit them out anyway. Guess the tournament worked pretty well!

Not enough noms for Meteos, tbqh. It didn't even immediately come to mind for me, but I spent many hours on that addicting puzzler. Still one of my favorite puzzle games.

Well, it was essentially the same as having a 5-way tiebreaker match in which Zebstrika shows up in the middle (being 4 tournament points behind the 2nd one) because all five of those were so close to each other in the computer rankings. There was just enough of a rift between the top and bottom members of the list that I figured having the two 3-ways was easier than having it be the only 5-Pokemon match.
