Spoilers . . . . Wow, very critical bad luck for watermess/good luck for CyberOdin. I feel like they both played really well and watermess brought some cool teams, in those situations the where and how the luck falls is going to matter a lot.
1/3 chance to lose Aero on the spot, assuming it's Sleep Talk. Not "that" crazy but that's a way to throw your advantage for sure. In that position I would have gone into Metagross even if I only had Meteor Mash. Pretty sure +2 Mash 2HKOs Rest Zapdos anyway (edit : it does)
yes i likely win the game 66% of the time that turn, since aero is the main sweeper in that matchup. I do think games 3 and 4 were not super well played by me - probably could have looked to stop bp with my misdrevious instead via perish song - works everytime not 66%. Game 4 was far more unlucky, with the hydro miss on his mence, and then the medi dodging everything as well. But i also choked clicking twave with regice before getting my sleep off with smeargle so maybe i deserved it.
@@H3nzWatermessI was rooting for you in this tournament, sorry to see you go. Even if you misplayed slightly, a lot of RNG still went against you. Good run!
@@jonsnow3919 thanks bro, I was super motivated this year, and I think I played some good adv. I did get some bad luck in rounds 2 and 4, but I also got lucky vs sea in round 3, so I think it even'ed out. Something we all can learn from my games though is that even when your good enough to compete in these tournaments, you'll still win more games if you don't make mistakes - even against hax. Its something ill be striving to improve if i keep playing this video game. Maybe next time it will lead me to the win!
I can already hear Jim writing his Gligar script.

Gligar the MVP of game 1
he already has and he also used walrien
@@Jake-kr8sc This is literally Jimothy lmao
@@Jake-kr8scread this in the voice
bro thinks he's gliscor
it's gligar gwednesday folks.
With Watermess' pirate themed team, I can only say that Gol D. Mason made this match even better to watch
Watermess got absolutely boned, that was rough to see. Cool teams too, was a shame how bad the hax was
shoutout Calos for having starting this grand tradition of old gen tournaments. And shoutout Jim for carrying the torch.

Watermess deserved the win.
Unfortunate doesn't begin to describe this series.
His preparation was superior, his play was superior, and he lost...
A player that brings a gligar, a forretress, a midreavus and a smeargle deserves an admin win.
The thumbnail has made me dread a world in which Aerodactyl was actually given Swords Dance. Imagine the chaos that would derive.
Almost 50 minutes?
This one it's not a normal anime chapter but an OVA.
speaking of lrxc, will he be doing any commentary for this tour?
yes : )
Crazy how that metabee was ugh special summoned on turn 812.
original
Horrible play. This is why you always bring a Rokusho

Live commentary really drives home how much like a game of chess a Pokemon match is.
Oh no, last game was once again ANOTHER ONE OF _THOSE_
Unfortunate does not even begin to describe the series.
Imagine asking your dog what she wants when she's staring at you. "LOVE ME!"
Attention, food, or both
Oh my lawd look at that time code. That’s a lot of gaming
4 games in a best of 3 is insane.
Sad to see Watermess go like that man :/ GG to both tho. 50 mins is crazy
Gligar gaming yo
Goldhengo might be good as gold, but it will never be as good as GoldMason :D
19:49 resisted self destruct 300BP, supereffective EQ 200BP. Headcalcs mason, we need you on point for the draft league
The numbers mason, what do they mean
Except self-destruct has a base power of 200, so resisted self-destruct would do about the same amount as supereffective earthquake
@@remysmets You're forgetting STAB bonus man
@@remysmets self-destruct halves the targets defense, so with stab it has an effective base power of 600. 600/2 = 300, higher than super-effective earthquake at 200
Also mence's fireblast and dragon claw do the same damage to neutral targets
Gonna tell my kids this was adv ou
Great match and enjoyed the commentary. Thanks guys 👍
Blissey is my mom.
She seems very supportive
49 minutes? Did you accidentally record a single gen 2 game?
BKC is commentating.
It's Gligar's glow up folks.
Gligar in 2024 is so inspiring holy moly.
Love the live commentary ❤
sad to see watermess out like this, he was so close in the first 2 games.
After that slog of game 1, the misses in game 2 and 3? were heartbreaking.

That was some rough RNG for watermess, wow...
That BP to Aero was a crazy risky move no?

Inside goldmason's brain
42:47 uncharacteristic curse word from GM..
Game "2.5" was absolutely unbelievably unfortunate. Correction, Watermess got haxxed hard. Good set and wp by both but damn
A1 Z2 M3 is that it or am I high?
these mf's have the fanciest avatars in the scene
Water lost but got Gligar W tho, a Chad
WTF A TIE?!
Forretress makes me gassy
Forretress makes me gastly
50 MINUTE GAME WTF
Last game legitimately sucked. So sick of the stupid RNG in these matches. It's not even an actual competition at this point.
