Iron Chef - Master Emeritus
Here is where the bracket, judge commentary, and most peanut gallery replies about the Final Four should go!
FIRST OFF, congratulations to all sixteen of our competitors, especially the Final Four. Before I go onto the ingredients, let's get a look at who's fighting for the prizes!!!
~~~TOURNAMENT FINALISTS~~~
Dendrobatida: He's a regional champ, a state champ, and the most accomplished deckbuilder in the history of Iron Chef. Heck, he's even been part of this longer than I have! While being the large tournament favorite to win, he has dodged multiple silver bullets.
ToC I History:
-VS Patriarch (L, 11-13)
-VS Pooka (W, 16-NG)
-VS Blizard (L, 9-10)
ToC II History:
-VS Flipsarecool (W, 17-15) w/"Cactics."
-VS Acutin (W, 16-13) w/"Dendrocatty."
-VS Slimeygrimey (W, 18-17) w/"Infinity Engine."
However, his fiercest opponent yet just might be in the form of...
Gymbo ex: Like his pal Jake, Gymbo is a state/GC fiend, and a deckbuilding genius. But in this North Carolina sweep, we have in Gymbo a Cinderella Story. Tucked away as the bottom seed and 7th in the Iron Chef Grinder, he has been pulling seed upsets since round one. He has also had his own share of close calls against...
ToC I History:
-N/A
ToC II History:
-VS Venusaur (W, 16-14), w/BlastCatty ex
-VS Pidgeotto Trainer (W, 14-13), w/Sceptile+Gyarados d
-VS Pooka (W, 16-15) w/Tyraniter ex d+Mew ex)
~~~THIRD PLACE CONSOLATION~~~
Pooka: "Consistency" is Kyle Pookavich's middle name. Whether it's his playing or deckbuilding, he's been a force since the start of the Nintendo era, and here on Iron Chef it's no different! Although narrowly losing to Gymbo ex, he is the last person in over a year to issue a loss to Dendrobatida, and is out for BLOOD!
ToC I History:
-VS Mudkip (L, no grade)
-VS Dendrobatida (L, no grade)
ToC II History:
-VS Mr. Meches (W, 15-13) w/Memory Berry+Aggron ex
-VS CRIMINAL (W, 17-16) w/Swampert ex
-VS Gymbo ex (L, 15-16) w/Tyranitar ex d+Pidgeot S2
Of course, who's a national champion runner-up's player to beat? Why of course...a naitonal champ...
SlimeyGrimey: Gordon "Grimey" C. is a force to be reckoned with, recently winning a national title in Canada+Top 32 at the Pokemon TCG Worlds this past August. Also, he is the last remaining international competitor, and has his eyes on the third place prize. Although he didn't get a chance to prove himself against Whicker, he showed his true colors by dominating Magnechu, and barely losing to the strongest Iron Chef competitor.
ToC I History:
-N/A
ToC II History:
-VS Whicker (W, N/A-no grade)
-VS Magnechu (W, 15-12) w/ Blaziken ex
-VS Dendrobatida (L, 17-18) W/Rayquaza ex d+Wobbuffet
