Seriously, last year owed a lot to luck... Still, gotta try to keep it, and prove luck didn't do all the job.
Faithful to my love of Monotype, here is my team, going with a Psychic theme this time:
Alakazam
Hoopa-Unbound
Jirachi
Latias
Necrozma
Tapu Lele
Victini
Alright, the combatants are all set,
It's time for a Death Battleeeeee!
Since it got bumped off the front page, signups are still open until April 4th!
The rules document can once again be found here.
I'd appreciate it if you guys could get this one done relatively quickly. :)
Sunday is fine for me. What time precisely? after 6:00 Pm shouldn't be a problem for me.
My mother has invited me and Mel out for dinner. I'm not gonna be around tonight.
Who will win? Novastorme, fresh off his victory over Hardric? Or Mattman, well rested and prepared for this duel?

Thank you Mattman for a very good battle, you honestly were the right person to win this tournament.
If not for one scarf...
How many times have I won now?
Novastorme
Feeling way more cocky and overconfident that he has any real right to be right now.
P.S I just want to say thank you for everyone who has played in this tournament, win or loss (I know there's still the 3rd place play off to go and Ix may want to say a bit). I hope you've all had good games and fun games, I hope you've learnt something and I hope to see you all battling again next year with bigger and better teams whatever we do.
P.P.S "The styles of battling and winning are as widely varied as Trainers are. Do you want to know how I battle? I battle so I can say I had fun at the end, whether I win or lose!"
A moment of your time please.
Watch a semi-final match the likes of which you've never seen before as NOVASTORME takes on HARDRIC

It was a good match, a close match and a match ultimately won by me, Novastorme.
Congratulations Hardric, unless I am mistaken you get to challenge Scape for 3rd place.

Me
GG Scape.
When would it be convenient for you? So far, i don't have any notable restriction on my own timetable except a preference for having the macth before 6:00 PM East Coast time.
And I'd prefer to get this over with ASAP, so what name do you go by on Showdown? I'm LostGirl over there

I seem to recall beating you a few times :p When are you available? I'm free... pretty much whenever this next week since I'm on break. Watch it here: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7ou-891089835 Congratulations to Hardric! Curtesy of a wood (or stone, not sure) pole leaving me with a little forced rest period for now. Or not...? I'll be posting the bracket tonight after I get home from work. Date and time of your choosing. I'm on Greenwich Mean Time, for reference. =] I'm free all day tommorrow and most of sunday (have work 4pm-730 server time, as well as Thursday and Tuesday afternoons. I'm tied up Sunday and I work during the week. So Tuesday after 6:00 Eastern Standard Time I'm free weekdays after 5pm BST and outside of around 2pm-6pm BST on Saturdays I should be free on weekends (although evenings would be preferable for me). You can find me lurking on the Library and Trivia channels of Pokemon Showdown under the username ThymeTwoDye So whenever you're free this evening, come find me! I'm not lurking anywhere just yet, though, so that might be a bit more challenge than we're supposed to do. =P D&D finished early, so I've got about an hour and a half before dinner. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-888298870 I have no idea what my screenname will be yet, though. |D Expect 'S.M.F.' if the site allows. Seriously, last year owed a lot to luck... Still, gotta try to keep it, and prove luck didn't do all the job.
P.S The link is broken, looks like you tried to add some coding for the board and it thinks its part of the link so you get an Error 404.

Would Wednesday, starting from 6:00 PM GMT be a go for you?
No audio from me, sadly, but hop into chat whenever you lot want.
(Yes everyone else, Ihavenoinsurance has finally been retired as a username)
Novastorme
It was a good game and I think with a couple of tweaks that SMF could have had a serious chance at taking me out.
And this evening should still work for me, after that busy slot for you.
