Tournament Of Immortals 6 - The Prediction Thread

To the Challonge bracket
To the main thread

Rules of predictions -
1. If you wish to discuss the tournament without clogging up the tournament thread with unnecessary posts, you can if you want.
2. These predictions are not worth anything except bragging rights. This means that if you explicitly vote for people because you predicted they would win, you're a)not getting anything and b)a prick. Don't fucking do it.
3. Please don't argue if someone thinks you'll get eliminated. No one means insult to anyone here. I hope. Footballers don't get upset when their team has bad odds in the bookies.
4. You get a point for every correct prediction for the winner of a round.
5. In addition to that, whoever got the most right will get an extra point for being Knight Of the Round.
6. Have fun with it! Otherwise there's no point and this is a DDR version of a concentration camp. Okay, maybe not that, but you get my point.

My predictions... albeit reluctantly. I want to see some real underdogs!
Some have commentary, some not.

CuzcoBlocko v. The Legendary DJXYZ v. xRGTMx - At this point... it's anyone's game. Personally I think we're all even.
DDRDAIKENKAI v. ddrstepper - if it's on the level of some of your Shuffle files.
darkanine v. Quickman - but you kever know, Quickman could come out of nowhere and make a sick file.
Oni-91 v. gameboy573 - Gameboy's been a wildcard in the past, so IDK.
xXMokou98Xx v. hypnoticmarten77 v. Telperion - I have no idea.
tsugaru7reveng v. Sigrev2 - I'd say Sigrev's a step up but I haven't played much from either of them, so tsugaru could take it.
Nezemarth v. JunkoXXX v. Spork! - Dude's got a nice file.
Lisek v. Astroman129 - Exhibit A: the shuffle. Never placed below green, if I'm correct.
NuVirus v. usaminseijin v. vincentw
Spirit Of Nightmare v. chewi - But Spirit's totally got a shot, if he keeps up his momentum.
Gameoson v. CLOUDIO
ohaiimian v. Aegis
Pandemonium X v. Braeden47 v. brunobg24 - I actually really like Braeden's Challenge chart, so I'll leave this undecided.
Densetsu.EXE v. Loodee
HealingDMax300 v. SupremeX v. ledgam3r1279 - Yes, I think this is possible. (Maybe it's just me, I gave his qualifier 5th.)
mf32892 v. Feraligatr

CuzcoBlocko
The Legendary DJXYZ
xRGTMx
I think I know what Cuzco is submitting, so he definitely won't be last place - but Ryan always places well and chooses songs that everyone creams their pants over. I think the chart, or lack thereof, may be the deciding factor between the two - One will be overly complex, while the other will be a little more relaxed and fun for the average player.

DDRDAIKENKAI
ddrstepper
I have a feeling this *may* be a match that someone doesn't submit something to. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not putting a vote out on this one just in case. Just a crazy hunch, not based on anything solid.

darkanine
Quickman
Gimmicks will determine this one. Darkanine will submit something with some speed changes, maybe a warp or some hands somewhere - while Quickman will release a file that will be widely agreed to be the better song choice, but a little bland in comparison when it comes to the chart. The awe-factor in DA's file will push him ahead.

Oni-91
gameboy573
I don't know enough of gameboy's stuff to give a really fair call, but Oni-91 has been around doing his thing for years and I doubt he will drop the ball in the first round.

xXMokou98Xx
hypnoticmarten77
Telperion
As Ryan said, this one is going to be ridiculously close. Both Mokou and Telperion have some serious skill, and I doubt either of them is unaware of that and will be coming out with something unique. In the end, Mokou is gonna take this one by a 3-4 point margin. It may be song-choice in the end.

tsugaru7reveng
Sigrev2
T7R is gonna come out swinging with some BEMANI transplant that will wow everyone, while Anony will probably submit something with not quite as much "Kablam". It doesn't mean it'll be an easy race for Tsugaru - I think Sig'll get a few votes right out of the gate and then fall behind around Thursday.

Nezemarth
JunkoXXX
Spork!
The spins in my file are gonna push me down to second, and Nezemarth is gonna represent with a file that no one expects. Meanwhile, JunkoXXX is going to be downvoted to oblivion for a million reasons with whatever he submits and I'm gonna be proud of him for not giving up and coming back next comp. You can be amazing! Just keep at it!

Lisek
Astroman129
Lisek = Silverhawke Jr. Very popular simmaker, usually pretty good charts. Astroman has the underdog bonus though - He's gonna try extra hard to prove to everyone that he's boss.

NuVirus
usaminseijin
vincentw
I had a really hard time trying to figure out who I should place as third in this category. I am pretty sure vincentw will pull through (Who knows? He may drop out suddenly.) for first, but it's a tossup between NuVirus and USA as they both have similar skill and song choices.


Spirit Of Nightmare
chewphoria573
Aesthetics will win this one. Sir Chewsalot makes some bomb graphics, and his presentation is top notch. The both make good charts, I just hope the graphics SoN asked me to make for him can make up for it, I feel insignificant in the photoshop arts in comparison.

Gameoson
CLOUDIO
I don't think I've ever seen a bad Gameoson file, but he released his early in the week so CLOUDIO has tons of time to find something better and make it glorious. I may be prejudiced on this one, honestly.

ohaiimian
Aegis
I don't really know a lot of ohaiimian's work, though I know I don't have issues with what I have seen. I just know Aegis can represent when he has to, and this is one of those times.

PandemoniumX
Braeden47
brunobg24
Song choice will be the decider here. Gonna be a tough call. I hope to see some gems either way.

Densetsu.EXE
Loodee
Yeeeeeeeah, this one will go either way. I say it ends in a tie and due to public demand they both continue on to round 2 for a Three-way there.

HealingDMax300
SupremeX
ledgam3r1279
I dunno what to say about this matchup. It will probably be close beween LED and Healing-D-Max, though.

mf32892
Feraligatr
Another close one, mf32892's stepping style is popular with the denizens of ZiV, but Feraligatr has some major skill at turning songs into art. Depends on song choice in this situation I think.

I don't think I'll do predictions, but there's match ups I'm looking forward to.

DDRDAIKENKAI VS ddrstepper: Both are about even and I think this is the match up that's going to be decided by one vote.

Gameoson VS CLOUDIO might be closer than people think. CLOUDIO made top 8 last year and I thought Gameoson could have done better than he did with his qualifier song.

xXMokou98Xx VS hypnoticmarten77 VS Telperion: On paper Tel should have this, but xXMokou98Xx likes to be a buzzkill in TOI. Believe me I know.

Edited to reflect my predictions in Challonge.

CuzcoBlocko
The Legendary DJXYZ
xRGTMx
  Cuzco could make a comeback this round, though.

DDRDAIKENKAI
ddrstepper
  Tough. Both can certainly do really good steps.

darkanine
Quickman
  Quickman could be a wildcard, he's shown improvements.

Oni-91
gameboy573

xXMokou98Xx
hypnoticmarten77
Telperion
  Not picking Mokou is hard.

tsugaru7reveng
Sigrev2
  I have a feeling that Sig knows what he's doing and could just beat t7r.

Nezemarth
JunkoXXX
Spork!

Lisek
Astro
  Astro has interesting song choices, though.

NuVirus
usaminseijin
vincentw
  Between these two, usamin's files seem to be more likable.

Spirit Of Nightmare
chewi

Gameoson
CLOUDIO
  Game's string of bad luck may be broken here, but CLOUDIO is strong if given a good song.

ohaiimian
Aegis
  This is also a tough one. It may just come down to the song choice.

Pandemonium X
Braeden47
brunobg24

Densetsu.EXE
Loodee
  I changed my mind. This won't be like last year.

HealingDMax300
SupremeX
ledgam3r1279
  Healing is unpredictable and may just win this if he puts a great effort.

mf32892
Feraligatr
  This could go either way.

Fuck you, you all, you all made fun of me, you all did me wrong, you rubbed me the wrong way, and I really don't give a shit about being here of you I really hate this site, Ii's childish and also I'm pissed and I don't give a shit. Fuck you Chewi and forget this place it blows worst than bemanistyle.com. FUCK ALL YOU BITCH AS DDR WANNABES I"M DONE. IM BANNED GOOD< THIS SITE BLOWS A BIG FUCKING HARD ON AFTER IT SIT ON IT AND SHIT BRICKS.

I have even more anxiety over this match than I did with Gameson last year, because I just KNEW he would Kick My A; me winning was a total surprise. But THIS? It could LITERALLY go either way, one false move and it's curtains. Although, that being said I am also very much looking forward to this match, probably the most, especially considering it's with a previous collaborator.

This could go either way.

HealingDMax300
SupremeX
Ledgam3r1279

mf32892
Feraligatr
I typically really enjoy Feraligatr's charts and different song choices. He could strike gold with this round in terms of both and then mf32892'll be in trouble.

This thread is interesting. I'm excited to see how all of these predictions play out.

---

I am planning to post my predictions later (once I'm done with my school work for the day/week?), but I will say this: the pressure is definitely on for my match up with DDRDAIKENKAI. I definitely think we have very similar stepping styles at times, as well as similar tastes in music (that is, we both have a history of stepping pop tracks), so this should definitely be interesting.


Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been in a matchup like that for Round 1...


So yeah, I'm definitely being careful this time around. I was thinking about stepping a file I already have ready, but with a matchup like this one, I may have to pull out the "big guns"... In any case, though, I'm really looking forward to competing again him!


YES THE ICONICY...
