The premise is simple! Each week, you can vote for up to two of your favourite Ubers players to duke it out in a semi-official platform, where Pokéblood, sweat and lots and lots of salt will be spilt. You'll just be voting for the player you want to see play - the tier and format are (almost) entirely up to them, the sole prerequisite being that it must pertain to a past or current official Smogon Ubers metagame. Feel free, however, to suggest tiers alongside your votes.

A few basic rules; first of all, only vote for active people who might actually get the match done. As much as I'd love to see Pi Face vs Sweep, we all know that isn't going to happen. On that note -

Hack
Dice


If you wish to be added to the above list of people who don't want to be voted for, contact me via PM orVM, or simply post in this thread. Likewise, if you want to be removed from the list, follow the same procedure.

With this rendition of Battle of the Week, to avoid some of the issues previously faced, I've created a set of two blacklists - one for players, one for voters. Both will be subjectively timed on a case-by-case basis as for the repetition of the action, and both are separate from each other. If players do not complete their match, or bring memes that fail to not only win but even entertain, they will be added to the playing blacklist. If voters vote for options that have been requested not to be voted for or people in the playing blacklist, they will be added to the voting blacklist. Simple, right?

right, because i totally needed more spoilers to maintain


this thread is going to give me cancer


Please DO NOT start voting for the week until I say voting is open. I do actually have some semblance of a social life outside of Smogon (or, at least, I'd lead you to believe), and I'm just as busy as the next person. If you overload me with stuff, I'll push the big red button mentioned later on in this post.

Oh, and for you Orch's out there; don't vote for yourself. Just don't.

Should you be voted for, congratulations! The community has decided they want to burn you at the stake bear witness to you and your fellow competitor give it their all. A few really basic guidelines include:
  • Try to refrain from using joke teams. Now, there will be exceptions to this, of course. For example, Kebabe is a player known for using gimmicks and smashing people with them, and it would be acceptable to see him bring literally whatever he wants to a match. But the day we get the Orch Pyukumuku Gothitelle special is the day we shut this shit down.
  • Contact your opponent, decide a format, schedule a time and post both the latter in this thread. Aside from hype value, we want to watch this live! And isn't that just a little bit sad.
  • Lastly, and I cannot possibly stress this enough: SAVE REPLAYS and POST ALONGSIDE RESULTS. The world deserved to see and remember Edgar vs xtrashine SPL 6, but they can't now. (For those who missed it, there was an Iceceus and the ending of a career involved.) The standards for these matches are relatively high, and replays are a great resource both for those wanting to get into the game and to those looking to spectate a decent quality match at leisure, especially if they can't be there while it's actually happening.
I may occasionally force SM to be played (I'll never force an oldgen to be played), as it has the most appeal to the general public and is the current official metagame; as I'm sure several of the BotW mainstays would prefer to play oldgens, I've got to have some kind of countermeasure.

Lastly: there is a giant-ass red button hovering over this thread that says "exterminate", and I retain the right to push it at any given time, whether it's for general stupidity, activity decline, whatever. Don't make me push it.

That's not too complicated, right? Now then; gather your Zygardes, butter the popcorn and prepare the :fb:'s -- let the matches begin.

Week 1 voting is now OPEN, and will close on March 5th.

EDIT:
So, I realized a week is quite a while for just voting. As such, voting will from this post onward be open for a maximum of 48 hours, with the match ideally being completed by the following Sunday. If you think these deadlines are too short, please, let me know, I'm winging it here. In turn with this adjustment, this week's voting will now close February 28th.
