This Sunday, September 7th, a Very nice bracket of monsters seemingly worthy of a finale.
See Their Pictures Here

MONSTER	STAT TOTAL	BREED	TRAINER
SonOfTheSun	90	TimeNoise	Newblish
sven	90	Celious	Strunks
Project Blue	90	Undine	Diablos
Vladimir	90	Ape	Velo

ALL 90s!!! This is gonna be a good fight I can smell it!
Make your predictions here!

Vlad is going to have a very hard time winning any fights in this one...

Lets see here......

SonoftheSun-I don't know much about Naga's,but I know that they can be tough and hard to beat and this one is going to be that times 10,with the Hopper fast gut regen.He'll be able to use his killer attack often which will be need in this kinda battle.

sven-Ah,the Celious.It is well raised and it even has the killer Death Smash in the second range and Stab Throw in the first.they aren't badly covered up and can be used alot with the gut regen he has.I don't like placing monsters,but he will win atleast one.

Project Blue-An odd Undine,that has Defense over Speed,but that is changed with form.She'll have plenty of defense on her side.Her attacks are somewhat lacking,they are in quanity not quality.That may be a down fall.She also has a recovery attack in the last range which *could* prove useful,or useless.

Vladmiir-Ape's have a good history of winning,but normall against monsters with lower defense where they couldSwing-Throw and win.He might only be able to get a one hit KO on sven or SonoftheSun,which is doubtful.He will have problems against Project Blue,but she'll have problems against other monsters.

I forsee a BONES breaking event ;)

Death Smash? Where? His techs are:
Short - Smash, Stab Throw
Mid - Turn Stab
Long - Rearleg Kick, Death Thrust
Extreme - Rush Slash

Anyway, no gg, he couldnt get a 1 hit KO on sven, only a golem with cyclone could 1 hit KO him (Depending on guts factor) But then again, ape's have a better guts factor...oh well. This is why I don't like the undine, hailstorm hurts and is accurate enough.

So hurrah for this bracket. 4 well trained worthy monsters wanting to get to the finals.

I meant Death Thrust -_-..Sorry!

Any monster that has low speed generally loses to sonofthesun when i have put one up against him, although watch it be jinxed and he will lose :\

I do feel he will get at least 1st or 2nd, but thats my opinion and its biased, so what can i say. I hope its a good fight, and hope to see everyone there, i know i will be.

I know a tank can beat SOTS. No monster is clearly impossible to beat when it's a tank.

Btw, newblish, why the banana method again?

I unlike most people have patience with the game, and its always a sure way to perfect a monster, although i probably could by using items such as trorons or something else. I have many strats to use, but this works best for any ways, i can still use these monstes later on if i need peaches, gold etc.

After the first banana method u get used to it, and it seems like time passes normally.

Unlikes most people? Lol, I'll make sure to pass that on to everyone who perfects every monster, because there's a lot of us.

I don't think he meant it that way MP.

In any case, Vlad is the only full fledged tank in this bracket, and that will more likely hurt me than help me. His strategy basically involves hitting with his two throw moves a whole lot, and if he can't do that he's history.

Man, 12 years for an A-classer o_O That's like 4x the Ape's age

Anyway---

1st: SOTS. Its techs are a nice combination of strong and accurate, it's from a known winner, and it has crazzzzy guts regen rates. Oh, and the fact that it's really old also swayed my decision.
2nd: Eh, this is where I really have no idea. Still, I'm gonna say Project Blue, because it's the only INT monster of the four. Though I don't like the form, I really can't think of a better way to do it (mostly because I'm lazy), and I like the nearly even combo of LIF, DEF, and SPD.
3rd: Vladimir. I'm assuming it's named after Vlad Guerrero, which is really the only reason I think it would place better than the Centaur. It has the typical skimpy but decent tech list, and I like the tank aspect because it's not in a bracket with monsters like Golems or Durahans to exploit the low speed with killer attacks.
4th: Sven. I'm just not a Centaur fan, and Strunks' inability to capitalize its name didn't help at all.

Those are my opinions, now 99% based on opinion and not fact!

Vlad isn't necessarily named after the baseball player, I just kinda picked a common Russian first name (which happens to be held by it's current president).

So, in any case, you can predict it to be 4th now ;).

Oh man, 4th again, keep it comin.

It's sven! punny as it can be.

Strunks is a more capable trainer than he's given credit for.

Jabba was predicted 4th.....a lot :)

Project Blue's form benefits him alot,Toa3t.Her speed is amxxed and defense gets lowered.I'm not one to know about Undine's,but I know form suites her well.

I know what sven can do, and I know what's going to happen to sven.

If I win, you have to be in the finals, MP. One more win against you can't hurt, now can it. Plus it'd be a good dual 3 time finalist match.

Those are some pretty close odds torey, good job.

And go torey for being the first to see sven's advantage over sots.
