THIS SUNDAY!!
See them Here! So Give a round of applause to the new field of competitors and Let the Predictions begin! By CHB on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 03:39 pm:
I think predictions are out of some of our systems now :P By SlapShotz54 on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 05:24 pm: By Omni Strunks on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:22 pm:
I see a lvl90 Time Noise in the next bracket. Phear the insane guts regen Naga. By Monster Fenrick on Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:58 pm:
what's all this fuss about?.. i don't see a problem? By torey luvullo on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 04:43 am:
A new day and a new bracket begins. With that in mind, I have a traditional favorite winning this week's A class kick-off:
Hares tend to do well in these brackets, and Luffy has the pow and techs to continue that tradition. He will have to dodge, as he is a little light on the lif/def axis, but he will dish out some punishment. The durahan revival continues with Dur 2-Attack, who has all the good attributes of the neo-modern durahan, and the big negative - 254 spd. With a little luck, this guy could win, however. Then we come to two monsters who are well built statistically, but whose techs don't quite match up. Welcome Griphook, who felt good enough about his Kato to give him his name. If the tabby cat somehow sticks to 3d range, he could shock the field...but he has a 2/3 chance of dealing out insipid pow techs. A slight bit worse is a newcomer breed, the Jell. Rinowa has a nice back row, and good lif/def, but is saddled with weak pow techs in 3 slots, and 120 spd probably will leave him open to hits too often in this affair. Good luck to all! By Toa3t on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 09:20 pm:
Well, they goeth here ^_^
Phew, that's hard work. Anyway... Luffy is a bunny! Bunnies are good! However, it loses about 150 def thanks to its form, and it would really be better off with 5 levels shaved off the useless Int and put towards either Life or Def. Still, he'll do well if he can use Big Bang in a timely manner and get a little luck on his side. Definately my favorite for the round, though, mostly by default. Won't expect him to do as well in the final. Dur 2-Attack.. well, I don't really like Durahans, nor do I like monsters with numbers in their names, heh. Actually, I think it has some chance in this tourney but I don't think it has the power to sweep any battle. I don't like his odds, overall. Griphook has a bit of an identity crisis going on. His stats scream "INT!" while his techs are clearly leaning the other direction. The combination of the fact that 2/3 of his techs will do less than 20 damage and his terrible life results in me having no faith at all in his abilities in a CPU-controlled battle. Rimowa- Simply put, combo pow/int monsters haven't done well at all in A-class. However, he still has a good amount of life, and the low speed won't be too much of a problem. I'd expect him to beat Griphook and one other, then possibly get in to a playoff. Jell Copter is great, and if he's able to hit with it I would almost guarantee success. There's my thoughts; in a condensed form, I'm going with: 1- Luffy 2- Rimowa 3- Dur 2-Attack 4- Griphook -Kevin By ToadoTheGreat on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 11:35 pm:
Well, I might as well post my predictions too, even though the next tourney is gonna be A class #3 finale :)
Things are looking fresh for A class #4. The powerful Jell makes it's first watery appearance in a Legend Cup Tourney, as well as another rarely entered breed - Kato. And also we got our weekly durahan, and Luffy the stretchy gum-gum pirate hare to join in the chaos! Luffy - This Hare definately has power... and speed... and skill! But two things he's lacking are life and defense. Being slim doesn't help much, because he loses defense and gains no speed at all. Maybe not 150 points, more like around 50 points. Against Dur 2, sure he would inflict some damage but I doubt he could get through his massive life and defense before he gets KO'd by a few strong attacks. His big advantages such as max speed, power, skill, and tons of strong techs could give him the victory. Dur 2-Attack - Unlike movies, this sequel is actually a major improvement to the first! Max life, power, skill and defense should give him major advantages over the competition. He's got some decent techs, namely rush slash and slash combo. Slash Combo will definately kill Luffy and possibly GRIPHOOK (yes, it's all capitals) instantly if it hits. His normal form compliments his stats perfectly, so that he doesn't lose anything. The downsides of Dur 2 are that he has a risky move Deathbringer and barely any speed. I expect him to get first unless Rimoa or Luffy manage to get through his massive life and defense with overwelmingly strong attacks. GRIPHOOK - Congrats to Griphook's first entrant! this Kato's stats are just really odd. He's got max int, skill, speed AND defense but has no power at all and below average life. His slim form cuts off a couple levels of defense while he gains no speed from it. Being strictly an int monster while having only power techs taking up the first 2 rows will probably be this monster's downfall. He could win somehow if he's lucky and chooses the int techs. Rimoa - Ahhh, the first Jell entered in Legend Cup... He's got some nice stats like max defense, int, and skill. He's also got decent life and power to boot. Being normal is good with this monster as well, because his stats remain the same and don't lose anything like Luffy and GRIPHOOK. He's got some incredible Jell techs like Gatling Gun and Jell Copter, and if he chooses these in a fight the tides will be turned in his favor. The problem with Rimoa is that he's both an int and a power monster so he has to either give up some power or int and have some attacks do less damage, or give up some other stats to keep damage consistant. Also he has no speed at all and will get hit with anything and everything. Rimoa will have to KO opponents fast to make it to the finals. By CHB on Monday, July 28, 2003 - 02:25 am:
I'm not going to plop out who I think will win, because I think I will and thats a given. :P By CHB on Monday, July 28, 2003 - 03:20 am:
On Second thought, I will... By mepersoner on Monday, July 28, 2003 - 07:24 am:
Maybe a name change for this thread would be good. By gogators on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 03:53 pm: I'll bet I get swept....I always do now.... By gogators on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 03:55 pm: But....this is probably my best shot. By CHB on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 04:48 pm: I don't see Dur2 getting out of this without a couple of wins. Far from it, I put him at second, if not first. By ToadoTheGreat on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 05:27 pm: GG I doubt you're gonna get swept especially by griphook unless something freakishly unlucky happens... So don't worry :) By CHB on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 07:42 pm:
Like I said about Luffy... By Toa3t on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 11:01 pm: Hey, the Powers That Be rectified my incompetence (the thread's name). Hehehe.. By Red Hare on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:45 am:
I have no doubt. By CHB on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 10:59 am:
Better rely on that speed... By CHB on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:14 am:
Well, GG, just so you know, you are probably going to defeat Rimowa. By Omni Strunks on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:22 am: Dur's gonna rolling slash at the beginning, Luffy's going to Bang everyone up, Griphook won't dish out much damage, and I hope Rimowa slingshots a lot. Withering's fun against low guts regen. By SlapShotz54 on Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 06:36 pm: toado, i think you messed up your odds to win...i could be wrong though. but, i just dont get 1-2,2-5,1-3,1-8. they look backwards to me. By ToadoTheGreat on Friday, August 1, 2003 - 07:54 am: Well the ones I put are supposed to be like 1 out of 2, 2 out of 5, 1 out of 3 etc. I just didn't do it right I guess... Now I realize how stupid it looks after seeing torey luvullo's odds. Just ignore my odds, the order from top to bottom is all that matters. By gogators on Saturday, August 2, 2003 - 11:39 am:
Fine whatever you say *sigh*... By torey luvullo on Saturday, August 2, 2003 - 03:45 pm:
toado's odds are fine, and add up appropriately, he just expresses them the opposite way. where my odds show that a monster is "3-1 chance against winning"; toado's just turns it around and is read "1 in 3 chance of winning." By CHB on Saturday, August 2, 2003 - 07:31 pm:
Just a point to the Jell's physical tech's gut costs: By CHB on Sunday, August 3, 2003 - 03:08 am:
To knock out the question of regen rates... By CHB on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 10:10 am:
5 days... By Velo on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 03:03 pm: By SlapShotz54 on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 - 03:20 pm: Thanks, remember to keep Dur2 looking good in the Recap. Thats what i'd do. :P By mepersoner on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 07:25 am:
The kato looks interesting, a defensive kitty. By torey luvullo on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 07:48 am: this kato reminds me a little of maranthe By SlapShotz54 on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 08:30 am: hopefully, for my sake,GG and CHB, Maranthe lost....hehe By Omni Strunks on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 08:51 am:
Didn't Maranthe lose to Masamune? The Oscerot? By CHB on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 09:35 am:
I'm going to raise a Kato next... By SlapShotz54 on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 10:18 am:
only problem, CHB, u already might win A, have an entry in S. So, u might need a master class By CHB on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 01:26 pm:
Maybe next monster, but I think that Rimowa will make a bigger splash in S than in A. By SlapShotz54 on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 01:30 pm: I'm in the process of getting a joker in there. By torey luvullo on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 01:52 pm: maranthe was one class below the ocerot. he lost to everyone he faced; i know that. By mepersoner on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 01:55 pm: You lost to my Chariot? That has gotta suck. By Omni Strunks on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 02:31 pm: I think I'm just getting things mixed up. Oh well. By torey luvullo on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 04:27 pm: hard to say, mp - remember, in that tourney it wasnt "all play all" so i dont remember him facing your chariot, but he might have been in the same event. By mepersoner on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 04:50 pm:
My chariot was sooo bad. By Omni Strunks on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - 05:07 pm: Stabber wasn't anything special anyway. I'm pretty sure I lost. By SlapShotz54 on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 10:56 am:
Torey, i believe it is RiMowa. By Monster Fenrick on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 03:55 pm: Umm.... the Tourney at hand this Sunday is MR1... just FYI By torey luvullo on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 04:02 pm: oh! i got ahead of myself - sorry, fenrick. By SlapShotz54 on Thursday, August 7, 2003 - 04:30 pm:
but wasnt the mr2 bracket filled 1st? By CHB on Friday, August 8, 2003 - 01:09 pm: By torey luvullo on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:08 am: there-thought i would bring the rest of the gang along. By Monster Fenrick on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:08 am: Man.. this certainly is confusing from the "Last Day" link... LOL By Omni Strunks on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:52 am: Whoah, yeah, I saw 2 new posts and this thing dragged on for a while. By CHB on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 01:23 pm:
All in all, gonna be some good fights, regardless of who wins. (I hope) By Max on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:27 pm: Wow....I must confess that I am fascinated at all the preperation, predictions and banter.. I know that this wouldn't be the place to start a thread on how to join, but I'd appreciate it if a friendly and knowledgable soul could e-mail me the details on how to enter in these competitions, including the rules and how to actually get the data across the web. By Lisa Shock on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:35 pm:
Take the time to read the section headers as you click past them. If you had bothered to read before posting, you would have seen: MR3 Tourneys Use Mailed Memory Cards or The X-Port. ***** All MR1 & MR2 Tourneys Take Place Via Mailed Memory Cards or Emailed DexDrive Saves." And, no, I am not going to waste my time emailing you a custom letter, when everything is printed right here. There is a main section of the Coliseum devoted to answering n00bs: Monster Rancher Metropolis: The Coliseum (Public Tournaments): Guidelines For Tournament Participants & Spectators Read it. Then, you may also want to read the headers and guidelines in the Legendcup section as well. By Lisa Shock on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:43 pm:
BTW, its pretty clear that you haven't really read or fully understood the Office of the Mayor. We do not send info out privately via email. We post everything we know. That's why every section has guidelines and FAQS at the top, plus informational headers. And, we expect people to take time to read all this before posting (aka wasting my money and moderator's time) anything on the site. (and posts need to be on-topic for their thread) All of this is in the Office of the Mayor. You should recall that you agreed, through applying for an account, that you had read the Office, and agreed to abide by the guidelines therein. By CHB on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:02 pm:
People are just really lazy these days... By CHB on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 07:05 pm:
Back to the tourney! By Omni Strunks on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 08:03 am:
I really need to do those guts regens.. By SlapShotz54 on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 11:08 am:
I like those predictions Strunks. BTW, the other A class Durahan with DeathBringer...MY DUR!!! By Omni Strunks on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 11:15 am: I stand corrected then, 3 durahans, Veldrus included. By CHB on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 09:45 pm: I'll admit, the S class version of Rimowa is much more impressive, but we have a lack of monsters in that rank. By CHB on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:49 am: For the guts, I don't know if there are .5 numbers or not, but Dur2 and Rimowa are tied at 15.5 By Omni Strunks on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:25 pm:
It's usually (There are exceptions to the rule) rounded to the base's guts regen. By gogators on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:17 pm: Okay,i've heard alot of this not agreeing with the height of Luffy's int.Heres the scoop.As you may of known Luffy was not meant to be in A Class he was amde for the Market thing in which I did a battle method on him.Therefore he was stuck with the stats he got and I didn't care what was raised as long as it was raised.Then I heard people wanted to see what Luffy could do in A Class so I finished him.I had no special plans for him except get his Skill to level 20 and raise everything else till his bloodly death!Now you know :) By CHB on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 05:21 pm:
FYI Gogators, By gogators on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 05:33 pm: True so true,but don't get down on your Jell he is a nice monster. By Omni Strunks on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 05:46 pm: What this tournament needs is trash talking. Nowadays people say their monster won't win. Faith, people, faith. By SlapShotz54 on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:44 pm: quiet, now i want to lose now, just to beat you in the next bracket!!! By Omni Strunks on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 05:43 am: I don't think I'll enter in the next bracket. I want that Time Noise to win. And I'm sure it will. By iniqquitous on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 11:27 am: Man just got my computer back, and finally wanted to enter my timeNoise in A class, can't believe someone beat me too it. Should I still enter it or not, what do you people think? By CHB on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 02:45 pm:
Hey, SS, feeling froggy? By gogators on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 06:23 pm:
You want trash-talking Strunks? By SlapShotz54 on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 06:31 pm:
Froggy huh? More like groggy CHB, but i am working on a Joker for S class as we speak. Hopefully i can finish it sometime soon. By gogators on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 06:49 pm:
Too bad it'll be stuck in his butt after the beating. ;) By Newblish on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 01:24 pm:
Ive never seen so much talk about one bracket :\ By CHB on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 01:47 pm:
Rimowa will have a catch on Dur2, that's given, but even when I slap Luffy's fuzzy little butt with physical moves, he'll be reeling. With only 500 life and around the same defense, I won't NEED Jell Copter to finish of this duracel flunky. (can't spell duracel, oh well.) Griphook will have a similar falling out, because if Tornado Claws isn't going to hurt someone, its Rimowa. As far as percentiles, he'll have Griphook easy, if not K.O.ed. Dur2 is gonna be a hitch, power moves aren't going to rock him, but if Rimowa lays out any kind of stratagy/luck and uses int. moves, that sappy sword swinger will be right back in the museum. By CHB on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 01:51 pm: By the way, GG, Luffy is slim, too, with 989 speed. :P By gogators on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 02:55 pm:
Luffy didn't want to be Normal he wanted to be Slim,so he died when ever I tried to fatten him up anywho.First of all how would two Tank's be able to beat a Hare with kill techs?If there's a way tell me I wanna here that.Look at my only non-tank competition,a techless Kato.I laugh at him.*Laughs*Let's go over this fight shall we.... By SlapShotz54 on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 04:46 pm: you wont get a 999 vs me unless its critical. But its in your dreams, and i cant help that. By CHB on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 04:58 pm: Yeah, GG, you're in a bracket with max defense and skill. so your speed and power axis are, for the most part, countered. By gogators on Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 06:29 pm:
Look who won! By Omni Strunks on Monday, August 18, 2003 - 08:31 am: |
