Game New PoT Fan League

[Kaoz]

Okay, lemme show you the current standings:

1. Sherlock (20 points, +16)
2. Sai (18 points, +12)
3. Jav (14 points, +8)
4. Kuwabara (12 points, +4)
5. Chaos (11 points, +4)
6. Ken (8 points, +1)

after adding the byes...

1. Sai (21 points, +15)
2. Kuwabara (21 points, +13)
3. Sherlock (20 points, +16)
4. Jav (20 points, +14)
5. Chaos (17 points, +10)
6. Ken (14 points, +7)

The matches we are still missing are
Sai vs Ken
Sherlock vs Chaos

Nothing's set yet, it all depends on the remaining matches, Kuwabara is ahead of you as he didn't tie and even though you beat him, he defeated Sai.
The possible champions are Sai, Kuwa and Sherlock, you can still archieve third place though when Sherlock loses to me with a difference of 3.

---

Not sure whether I clarified this before, if there is a tie for any position, that means points AND game difference are equal, those players will play an extra round.

Aggressive Baseliner

-Enbu Tennis [Feat]:
(1) Hiyoshi’s Power and Speed are boosted by 3 points each. (Singles only)
(2) Hiyoshi’s Power and Speed are boosted by 2 points each. (Doubles only)

V

Tezuka (8, 12, 9, 11, 40)
All-rounder

-My Aaaaaaaaaaarm… [Feat]:
Tezuka loses in a tie.

-Pinnacle of Hard Work [Aura]:
If your opponent adds points to either his Power or Spin stat through an Effect or Aura, add twice of those points to Tezuka's Power/Spin stat.

Hmm...even with all of Hiyoshi's effects added, it's only 36 V 40 without even considering Pinnacle of Hard Work. Poor guy.

Winner: Tezuka, Chaos

1-0 Chaos

D2:

Spoiler

Wakato (4, 4, 4, 7, 19)
Defensive Baseliner

-Change Over! [Feat]:
Wakato has to choose one player before the match, his playstyle and dominant hand change accordingly. Depending on whether the copied playstyle has an advantage/disadvantage against the opponent's playstyle the following bonus is applied:
-Advantage -> +3 to all stats
-Neutral -> +0
-Disadvantage -> -1.5 to all stats
The order of advantages is:
-Serve&Volley advantage vs Defensive Baseliner
-Defensive Baseliner advantage vs Aggressive Baseliner
-Aggressive Baseliner advantage vs Serve&Volley
-All-rounder always counts as Neutral

In Doubles, the bonuses are added up for both opponents.

Wakato's Spin is boosted by 3 points.

Mizuki (3, 3, 4, 10, 20)
All-rounder

Interesting lineup to say the least. I think I got this one right...

Original: 39 (Sherlock) V 41 (Chaos)
Feat: Change Over! +12 to Wakato. Control +1 for Mizuki. Power +3 for Ishida. 52 V 44.
Final Feat: Since Mizuki's power is 3 and Wakato's is 7, they both drop 8 points due to Devil, so it's 36 V 44.
Effects: Buggy Whip means +3 for Wakato, and +2 to both Mizuki and Wakato due to guessing Ishida correctly. 43 V 44.
Aura: But Ishida unleashes Moujuu. 43 V 50.

Winner: Krauser/Ishida pair, Chaos

2-0 Chaos

Defensive Baseliner

-Prodigy [Feat]:

(2) If at least one opponent’s playstyle is All-Rounder, Fuji’s speed, strength, and control gets boosted by 1. (Doubles only)

-Hoshi Hanabi [Effect]:
This Effect cannot be used. It triggers automatically once Hecatoncheiros is negated.Fuji's Spin is doubled. This Effect can neither be copied nor can it be negated.

Damn, this is one heck of a lineup!

Original: 31(Sherlock) V 34 (Fuji)
Feat: +8 to Yagyuu thanks to The Gentlemen, and Fuji stays the same thanks to Prodigy. 39 V 34.
Effects: Yagyuu uses Hadoukyuu at 30% of its strength, so +3 making it 42. Unfortunately for Chaos, he chose the wrong effect, Hecatonchires no Monban is useless here.

Winner: Yagyuu, Sherlock (LOL)

1-2 Sherlock.

Spoiler

Niou (8, 8, 8, 9, 33)

Tezuka

V
Shinji (3, 7, 4, 4, 18)
Defensive Baseliner

-Kick Serve [Effect]:
Shinji’s Spin is boosted by 1 and Shinji can still activate Spot.

-Spot [Effect]:
Each of the opponent’s stats drops by 2 points. (Singles only)

At first glance, you all think Sherlock won right? WRONG. Kick Serve brings Shinji to 19 against Niou's 33. BUT Spot means -8 and Niou wrongly predicting Tezuka means he drops 6 more points, make it 19 V 19!

Too bad you didn't put an effect forward Sherlock!

DRAW

Results:

Spoiler

Game and Match! 2-2, Draw!

 

[Kaoz]

Well, this is kinda unexpected I must say... damn why didn't I choose a Yagyuu counter is S2...

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Hahahaha! Shinji drawing with Niou is amazing.

 

[Bowser]

That was only because Sherlock didn't put some sort of effect down when he messaged me.

 

[Kaoz]

Well, it's his own fault for not doing so.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Haha can't believe I tied it. Not going to complain though, wouldn't change a thing in the rankings. If Ken beats Sai I win.

I thought you'd go Wisdom with Tezuka so I went like that with Yagyuu so that he could beat him. Hiyoshi could beat Fuji. If i had inverted Hiyoshi and Yagyuu I would have won 3-1.

 

[Sai]

Well top 3 for S1 looks to be Sherlock, Kuwabara (all cause he beat me!) and me.

Here's a new picking method that'll award the winners for second season.

1st Place: Gets to choose which Tier he wants first pick on
2nd Place: Gets to choose which Tier out of the 2 left they want first pick on
3rd Place: Gets to have first pick on the remaining tier.

Also, When you send me your Pick lists for S2, you can make it a flow chart if you'd like.

i.e. If Bunta is available I want him, then Jackal. If Bunta is taken, then I want Hiyoshi then Kaidou and not Jackal.

That way it'll give me the best idea of how to pick for you when it comes your time to pick.

Please separate your picking lists by their tier levels.

Once we know for sure the 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners, I'll have them PM me which Tier they want.

If Ken doesn't PM his lineup in the next 25 hours (out of the 30 we PMed him with earlier), his last round will be considered a 3-0 loss and we shall commence with S2 (which I know everyone wants to start already.)

Picking will take place during this week. With Trading allowable during that time. 1st round starts on Saturday.

 

[javimgol]

What will happen with the rest???
Damn it, you Sai changed the picking system just before I dropped the Top 3 of the league for the first time in the whole season

 

[Kaoz]

No, because you also get +3 from your bye.

 

[javimgol]

No, because you also get +3 from your bye.

I just noticed and edited the post

Winner: Echizen, Ken

1-0 Ken

Spoiler

Atobe (7, 9, 9, 10, 36) 45
All-rounder

-Insight [Feat]:

Kenya (5, 1, 10, 5, 21) 14
Defensive Baseliner

-Naniwa's Speed Star [Feat]:
Kenya’s Speed is boosted by 5 points.

-Challenge [Final Feat]:
If the opponent’s Speed is 9 or higher, Kenya’s Speed is boosted by 3 points.


Shishido (3, 2, 7, 3, 15) 19
Defensive Baseliner

-Dash [Effect]:

-Rising Counter [Effect]:
(1) If the opponent uses an Effect, that Effect is negated and the opponent’s Speed drops by 3 points.
(2) Shishido and his Partner cannot have their Effects negated. (Doubles only)

Ootori (5, 0, 5, 4, 14) 16
Serve and Volley

-Neo Scud Serve [Effect]:

Level 4
Bonus: +10 points are added to the pair’s total, L1, L2, L3, L4 Formations can be used
Both players gain the Feat:

Strategy [Feat]:
The user’s highest stat is boosted by 3 points.

-Australian Formation [Formation, L2]:
This Formation can only be used by a pair that has a support-level of 2 or higher. When playing a pair with a higher base total, all stats of both players in this pair are boosted by 2 points.


This one might be a close one, the base totals are 57 for Sai's pair and 29 for the Silver Pair. After adding Feats and Support Bonuses, as well as the Australian Formation, the totals are 69 to 55 (Kenya's Final Feat activates because Shishido's Speed is boosted by 3 through Strategy, resulting in a value of 10, thus enough to trigger the Feat).
The Effects don't change anything, I guess Silver Pair can't win against Atobe.

Winner: Atobe/Kenya, Sai

1-1
