The Metronome Contest

oh boy double posting

So, as for the next Metronome Contest. Does anybody have any ideas? I have a few. One of them would be having the final match be disputed by three trainers instead of two. I also thought of having something like the GF10 around, as in, splitting the entrants into groups and having a different head judge and secondary judges for each one. That, or, if we incorporate the three-way final, we could have a three-part tournament -- each group spawns all the way to the semifinals.
 
Well, the splitting-up thing was mainly so more entrants could be accommodated... If there are a lot of people interested in participating, then I'm all for it.

I'd also like to see more attacks being randomized for the battle portion, since with only 5 moves there's little room for strategy. Randomly destructive pretties, sure, but you're not just playing for points, you also want to knock out the other Pokemon. I think 8 moves would be better.

As for the three-way thing, sure, why not? :P
 
I'd join, however you decide to handle it; after considering things I've realized I'm probably much better at contests than battling and I've always wanted to try it out. I don't really have any idea on the specifics, though.

Fair point. It'd also create a good opportunity to put a lid on repeating moves, because, as much as it might be that you only landed one strategically viable move, spamming is really shitty for the purposes of showsmanship, and I kind of got mildly annoyed anytime I rolled up a move that would probably end up getting spammed.
