The Kanto Biregional Tournament: get your matchups here!
The below matchups are final and will not be changed, unless one participant is in the wrong bracket due to an oversight. Participants will have 7 days to give us Round 1 winners, at which point we'll be posting the next round's matches. Each round will be randomized to provide some diversity.
Due to the large number of rounds — 6 for Elite — we will be shortening the amount of time players will have to give us their answers, so that the last few Elite rounds will be spaced 3 days apart. If you're afraid of missing a date, just check the calendar for more information!
In the case that one partner goes missing, the person who attempted contact will win by default. If extenuating circumstances come into play, such as a personal emergency requiring a hiatus (with due warning to the mods and the battle partner), we will flip a coin.
Update: players facing off against gym leaders can have a coin flipped (default) or choose to strategize, in which case they should use the post here.
To post winners, please see this screened post! BOTH partners must comment with the name of winner in order for the victory to be valid. If not, see the above paragraph. If neither player comments, there will be no victor.
You can use this post to discuss your matches. If no consensus can be reached, the mods will flip a coin upon request.
Playing out the matches is highly encouraged, but optional! Here is an open log for all your battling needs! Bugsy, Whitney, Brock, Misty, Blaine, Surge and Blue will be competing in the tournament and will also be participating in the open log, under the accountthese_guys.
The prizes at the very end of the tournament will be one (1) fossil and one (1) reusable Unova TM, both chosen by the winners.
Without further ado, here are the matchups for round 1!
Newest matchups will be listed on the screened post as soon as all the results have come in for that bracket, or on the deadline of the round (whichever comes first.) They will not be announced on the OOC community, because we don't want to spam.
If you have any questions, let us know!

And he'll certainly be accepting that handshake as well as the offer, and you are officially being invited out for drinks afterwards, should you like and not find that too forward. He's covering.
And likewise! I've put the comment in already; congratulations!

... do you know what dangerous thing you just offered this woman, Kimblee? She loves going out for parties and drinks, especially with people she's conquered - like her old Roman ways!
Thank you!

...speaking of seducing, Saber, we are going to need to work something out here because good lord...
no subject
... speaking of things, Kimblee, she should introduce you to King Arthur... who also looks like her (just a bit taller and, um... less developed).
Sometimes it's better to not ask.
no subject
And good god, whatever version of the world you people wandered out of, he wants in on it. Everyone is tiny and adorable and badass, what does he do with this knowledge.
no subject
Interact with anyone and everyone that comes from their world? AND I JUST HAD AN IDEA, BUT... Kimblee, when 4th Wall, she should show you how she can summon her personal palace/theater out of the ether...

No but really, his powers are based around energy manipulation, which is FMA-speak for "he's capable of making literally everything he touches explode and creating shockwaves through the air that explode on contact." Of course, his reflexes are also shot to hell so he's wicked slow in physical fights, and he's only used his powers at all for about six months out of the last eight years total (seven years in prison + year in Johto, with those six months between his release and his death); he normally...wouldn't be at the peak of his power with all that going on, but he has two Philosopher's Stones on his person.
With only one of them, he's capable of, uh. That. That is him at the bottom of the panel, in all his shirtless 5'10" glory. He doesn't use it often, though, it's - ...you know, my friend and I actually sat down and worked out that FMA could actually be AUed into Fate/ frighteningly easily. The closest way I can describe it is to consider Kimblee Berserker-class (complete with Mad Enhancement because he has a tendency to lose it on the battlefield, which just kind of kills his restraint and...leads to destruction along the lines of the abovementioned image), what with the Philosopher's Stone being the Noble Phantasm and the personal skill being akin to Battle Continuation (he has a ridiculous capability to live through things and just not die until he is good and ready to die, thank you very much). It's pretty much the best way I can think of to describe it. But yeah, he's...actually alarmingly powerful, his abilities are incredibly broken for FMA and he's primarily hindered by his lack of speed/reflexes, otherwise...yeah.

The general consensus for Saber's abilities (given that she can be customized at will by her Master), seems to be that STRENGTH ALL THE WAY, but as a Servant of the glorious Saber class (or so she'd preen as) and trying to compensate for a simple Master, her stats'd be:
Strength: A+
Defense: A
Agility: B
Magic: E
Luck: C
Her Magic Resistance is a weak C thanks to Migraines [B]. Her Noble Phantasm involves summoning previously mentioned theater which makes anything she aspires for come true, weakens her opponent and ignores their guard. Probably the most broken thing about her is that she has a skill called Imperial Privilege which states that "it's an ability that, due the insistence of the owner, Skills that are essentially impossible to possess can be obtained for a short period of time. In cases when the Rank is above A, even the "burden to the body" is acquired (such as Divinity)." Hers is set at rank EX, so the relevant Skills for her are Riding, swordsmanship, fine arts, Charisma, Military Tactics and others.
So Saber's strength comes from... thinking she can do whatever she wants because she damn well can.
no subject
But yeah, seriously, if he had any indication of what she's capable of, he would want to throw down with this woman just because the experience sounds like it would be amazing. He's not immune to the draw of what can best be described as "twelve-year-old stupidcool", and the entire Holy Grail War thing, as it's been explained to him in Johto, just sounds about eleven million levels of awesome and pretty much the physical embodiment of twelve-year-old stupidcool. ...he also rather likes war for war's sake and actively enjoys being ordered around, so this entire thing is something he can get behind on so many levels. orz
no subject
... Twelve-year-old stupidcool. Interesting. Well! He might see her jumping more than a few double digits of feet up in the air or carrying stuff that looks like she wouldn't be capable of in her small frame... and that she can move a lot faster than normal humans should be capable of doing. Servants are the best combatants - Kimblee should joing the club! Or fight it.
no subject
...yeah seriously she is fortunate he's both taken and...mostly monogamous, fun activities after partying notwithstanding.
Totally not cheating if your boyfriend is present/participating, however.He likely is going to want to say something to her after fourth-wall, however, even if it is just verifying whether he hallucinated that or not - he's also one for being, for lack of a better term, a thundering dork regarding magic and whatnot from other words. Because his abilities center around an ability to sense the way energy flows through things both living and inanimate, to say nothing of through the air itself, I can just imagine what the usage of a Noble Phantasm would look like in that regard, goodness lord.So yes, basically I highly approve of Saber blowing his mind all you want during fourth-wall, he will be highly receptive and will probably geek out at her afterwards while trying to retain his composure because He Is A Proper Gentleman He Promises.
