Last week my predicts were 47% correct, so these probably mean absolutely nothing:
Team Hoopa (7) vs. Team Latias (5)
Gen 9 Random Battle: shiloh vs JJ09LIE -- shiloh beat Fant'sy in a pretty impressive set, so I'm putting chips in them moving forward
Gen 8 Random Battle: Zap vs Tuthur -- Zap gonna zap em
Gen 7 Random Battle: bobomania vs Aquaa -- Hype asf mu, I think bobo has an edge here. Aqua seemed to have a little rust last week.
Gen 6 Random Battle: Tomahawk vs Lady Writer -- Lady Writer played very impressively vs RSQ last week, I think the extra rands aptitude will serve them well in this mu
Gen 4 Random Battle: TheFranklin vs Trade -- Trade beat me sooooo
Gen 3 Random Battle: Rach vs Ereshkigal -- Rach si GOATed in most oldgens, gonna be hype to watch their first RBTT game in years
Gen 1 Random Battle: YBW vs Leru -- YBW stands for Yery Bood Wins
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Shadows4 vs sunsets -- I think sunsets has a little more ingenuity here
Gen 8 Battle Factory: temp vs MichaelderBeste2 -- temp has more experience and knowledge in bf than Michael and played great last week
Gen 8 BSS Factory: Emboar02 vs Dragonillis -- Dragonillis plays bssf in the most wildcard way ever based on last week, which can pay dividends in bssf sometimes
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: odr vs Eeveon7 -- Was very impressed by Eeveon last week
Gen 9 Doubles Hackmons Cup: Eeveeto vs DOOR MONEY -- I am unfamiliar with this person, exciting to see their first game of the season
Team Palkia (6) vs. Team Yveltal (6)
Gen 9 Random Battle: Separation vs pokeblade101 -- blade got slightly haxed last week so that might continue, great mu though and interesting to see blade move to gen 9 since he's also putting in good work on that ladder
Gen 8 Random Battle: BoRida vs Glop -- Glop is a great mons player but his all-rounder capabilities are really being tested here
Gen 7 Random Battle: MaswoodShaheb vs LordST -- MAS :] I believe that Mas will go unbeaten this year
Gen 6 Random Battle: Xceloh vs Buhrito -- Buhrito beat jacked so he will be able to muscle through Xceloh now
Gen 4 Random Battle: El químico del pueblucho vs Dj Breloominati♬ -- I still want to say Spitfire do well thie year but qumico is a gen 4 all star fr
Gen 3 Random Battle: Amaranth vs xGang -- Sheet god xGang beat Anna so he's begun his trajectory toward topping the sheet yet again
Gen 1 Random Battle: tylerfitz8 vs nicomirra123 -- tyler is one of the best in this format, sticking with the winning side
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Zephyr Dragon Lord vs platinumCheesecake -- See above :P Winning side FTW
Gen 8 Battle Factory: jonfilch vs kythr -- Absolute all star matchup, though both lost last week
Gen 8 BSS Factory: papiloco vs luisin -- luisin managed to beat STABLE so they have a nice shot here
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: Chris32156 vs Memoric -- I caught Chris' game and disagreed with some plays, but dubs is a very playstyle-based thing so it doesn't mean that much. Didn't catch Memoric's but they are a good dubs player.
Gen 9 Doubles Hackmons Cup: soTsoT vs Lucas2543 -- soTsoT is legitimately great at this format, as much as DHC is high variance they def have the edge imo
Team Chien-Pao (7) vs. Team Zarude (5)
Gen 9 Random Battle: Fant'sy Beast vs LoSconosciuto -- Losco won last week while Fant'sy didn't, but this is extremely hype
Gen 8 Random Battle: Piyush25 vs Sylveon used calm mind -- Vibes idk, Piyush seems a bit fresher here
Gen 7 Random Battle: GaryAjax vs Betathunder -- Beta is extremely formidable in this
Gen 6 Random Battle: Blui vs Micaiah -- And Blui is extremely formidable in this :eyes:
Gen 4 Random Battle: Jytcampbell vs SMB -- Another highlight match, just based on my memory of both players in past RBTT series I've played vs them
Gen 3 Random Battle: trace vs freezai -- I want a video
Gen 1 Random Battle: Panty&Stockings vs Mikon -- More experience in this format
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Nudepantsman vs MultiAmmiratore -- A little more creative, might see some cool gambits
Gen 8 Battle Factory: crying vs Wigglytuff -- Traditional strong BF player in RBTT, comeback arc after losing to temp feels correct
Gen 8 BSS Factory: DEG vs Mishimono -- More impressive series last week IMO, all I have to go off as I'm unfamiliar with both
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: jackofspadesman vs teresbahji -- Teres is good at dubs
Gen 9 Doubles Hackmons Cup: frostyicelad vs Ciro napoli -- Based on a sample size of one, I think Brits are good at DHC
