[Nudepantsman]

two hackmons formats in week 1?! truly blessed

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: oaklies vs. hidin (here i am about to make HC predictions because i know some of the players, and then for the very first prediction, i don't know how either of these players fare in this format, though i do think i've come across oaklies on ladder before. I think hidin has a really impressive amount of knowledge and skill when it comes to gen 9 in general, so I'll give them the slight edge)
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: Luchik vs. MultiAmmiratore (incredible matchup, the best of the week across all formats in my heavily biased opinion. both players easily could have played either gen 8 or gen 9, and i'm a little curious to see them both stepping into the time capsule, maybe they just really miss dmax, a completely fair and balanced mechanic in hc? anyway, i'll give the edge to chiori here but i fully expect 3 games, and for it to come down to the wire)

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Aquaa vs platinumCheesecake (solid matchup, though i don't know if I've seen aquaa in this format before. my temptation is to bold the former champ and stacker-of-lotads, but i feel like platty tends to get pretty bad luck for the first couple weeks of these tourneys before turning it on for playoffs, so i'm going against my gut here)
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: Shadows4 vs jasprose (jasprose is a fantastic player, i know this much, but shadows4 is on another level when it comes to hc and when i see his name, i bold it)

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Altthiel vs Fragments (another great matchup, frags is a perennial powerhouse in hc and one of my least favorite to play against - he's never ever out of it, even down 6-1. Alt had a very solid campaign last season and i think he beat me in a close bo3 due to a poor tera predict. ultimately, i'm going with frags but its razor thin)
Gen 8 Hackmons Cup: Ivar57 vs. frostyicelad (unfortunately i'm not familiar with ivar, but frosty is a goat and i expect the w)
