TheAnswer3 said:Lets make a simple point here on the Queen Medicham matchup..
Medicham at WORLDS, is a lot different then it is now..
You have to rethink it, Cham ran 2 Caves at the most, didn't have an Espeon ex option, and was without Mary's Request, and PETM, two cards which I personally think made the deck better..
The Queen/Cham matchup is 60/40 at this point in the CURRENT format, I completely disagree with anyone that says it was that at Worlds..
I'm not saying thats not true. But 90-10 is crazy. I think my deck had more like 20% and it was probably the easiest matchup Queen had. To say all the matchups were 90-10 is even more ridiculous. If all the matchups were 90-10, according to the chart I did, plaidlesspez would only have had a 4% chance of not going at least 6-2, and that happened.Pablo said:Once anyone saw the Top 4 you knew the real final was played betwee me and Jeremy, not a single Dark Tyranitar deck could win the matchup.

You're arguing as if I said it was 5050. I think its 80-20, you're completely right in your analysis. There would be games though where Queen just wouldn't setup, or they have maybe 1 Queen with energy out and its taken out by Ttar, or a quick takeout of Pidgeot+Admin and you don't have the DRE for the ko, then I ko the Queen next turn or even start spin tailling as you can't search out Milotic. It isn't 90-10. Those are ridiculous numbers you're throwing around.Pablo said:I'm saying all the matchups after the Top 32 cut Ross, not every single deck at Worlds. Zapdos, Dark Slowking, eggs.dec were all worser matchups for Queen, but it only required a decent hand to pull Dark Slowking and Zapdos, eggs was harder.
I really don't see how Pow!-Block was 80/20 or even 70/30. queen had a FASTER BY FAR set up, getting a single prize before you exploded meant you could only fully powr up a single Ttar, and once that came down you wouldnt be able to power up another one. That powered Ttar would get only 1 prize, a Pidgeot or queen, and that's easy to recover from. So basically, you had to explode like 4-5 energy's on Ttar to get a single prize, and your Spin Tail strategy is NULLIFIED by Milotic. I really REALLY do not see how your deck had a chance against any decent hand for the Queen player. If you would like to explain how you think you could OUTSPEED and consistantly OHKO Queens before losing your Ttar and not letting Queen get a single prize other than the first KO'ed Ttar I would love to ehar it cause I can't come up with a single favourable scenario for your deck.
