In Norway at the Cities Mathilde played at 5 and won 3 and 2 2nd places :O
Thats the best in Norway. Exept mayby one in Stavanger's league that has
lost 3 or 4 times since the BF seasons started.

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..

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.

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.
Nidoqueen was definitely the best deck, but you're starting to blow it out of proportion with your numbers imo.
 
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.
 
Your testing assumes that you guys playing Medicham do as well as someone who plays it a lot more, such as Jason, myself, Martin, Sami, Levi, etc. This is obviously not the case.
 
Yeah Moss cause figuring if you need to do 60 to the active powered queen or pure power 20 on pidgey and 10 on nidoran is a tough call. Give us some credit, after playing 60+ games WITH and AGAINST Medicham I think we at the very least knew that matchup MUCH better than any of the people you mentioned AT THE TIME OF WORLDS! Moss I doubt you or Ness or anyone took the whole night between Swiss and Elimination roudns at worlds to think about how you could beat queen, let alone test it since you didn't even have a list. Be realistic Moss, we went X-0 against Medicham at Worlds. Sami conceded to me for the 2/3 MATCH only 15 minutes into the round after seeing how badly Queen dominated (and to be fair he was the top Medicham player at Worlds per the standings). I can't imagine how BAd Ness msut have felt losing to Jeremy in Top 16 due to their past Regionals confrontation and the fact that it was Jeremy himself who beat him, and if you guys say Worlds 2005 was a flop and Jeremy should not have won well that's how GOOD the deck was against Medicham, knowing your point of view of Jeremy would lead to me think you would understand how bad the matchup was for Medicham, in your words: 'even Jeremy could beat Ness in the Queen vs Medicham matchup', who is apparently the top player in the game.

FALSE! Martin Moreno was the highest placing american in swiss with Medicham! I got second! C'mon guys, let's be fair to Pablo and Jermy, they did know the match up, why take it away from them.
 
wow thanks Martin, I expected some sort of sarcastic remark from you but appreciate the comment, and yeah you were the higest placing American, but Sami (Top 8) was the highest Medicham player.
 
For the worlds metagame, I agree, you had a significant advantage and I wouldn't have looked forward to the game. However, I refuse to agree that Queen had a 90% advantage. That is a joke.

Jermy got consistent T1 Queens vs. Jason, that's a joke. Like I said, it comes down to who gets the better set up, if Cham can take control of the game before Queen gets set up, its not a bad match.

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.
 
dam we shoulda made a Queenarathon at Worlds lol, I guess everyone has their own point of view, and I can't change yours, nor will you change mine, soooo Ross agrees to a 80-20, Moss, would you agree a 80-20 for Cham? if so say queenw as 80% favourite over the decks and do the calculation.
 
I don't think Queen was a 90/10 Favorite over 'Cham, but I don't think it was 60/40 either. I would say it was more like 70-75/30-25 in Queen's favor. Right now, well I don't know, that list you gave Chuck, Pablo has been nice vs 'Cham vs me (vs top players). I don't think it's really 60/40 right now either......
 
I think the main reasons of Queens dominance over cham was mainly because of the lack of Island cave, i think no list ran more than 2 as you needed 2 TA Hideout and poss Space center/M Storm etc. The build was very tight and 1-2 Cave doesnt cut it unless you can like consistently drop a stadium every go and get a cave to stick. They will drop the first ruins pretty much all the time. Me and pablo had pretty =\ games as i got like no energy game 1 and game 2 he had 3-5 evos out t2-3. Im sure he wins regardless as 1 cave meens the a/l =(

THOSE MATCHES WERE A JOKE PAL YOU DAMN SAC

Pablo <3

EDIT: For the record, I AM the greatest player alive.
