This is it. The ultimate head-to-head battle of Pokemon Splicing magnificence. There are only two contestants: Iron Splicer kullenuska and Iron Splicer pilesofpixelsThere is only one round. There can only be one... Titanium Splicer
At core this is an Iron Splicer challenge, but we may introduce some additional complications to the Iron Splicer rules, to reflect your status as master splicers. Some possibilities might include: - Less time to complete your collection - Two or three Secret Ingredient Pokemon, all of which must be included in each splice - A Secret Ingredient selected specially for being difficult to splice with - Special criteria that must be met for individual splices (e.g., one must be a Gijinka, one must represent "freedom", one must contain parts from no more than three Pokemon, etc.) - Any other fiendish device our little brains can concoct. I am offering no prize beyond the title of Titanium Splicer and bragging rights in perpetuity. If some of our judges or audience, or even the contestants want to throw something in the pot to sweeten the deal, I won't try to stop you. We will need a full complement of 3-4 judges (which may or may not include some of the judges from the Iron Splicer contest). I am happy to judge if my judging is desired or required, but I am also happy to stand aside and stick to the role of Master of Ceremonies for this challenge.

If you want to be really, really evil. . . Luvdisc.
Maybe only for one of the splices, though. >_>

*puts popcorn in the microwave* I'm nowhere near as good as Kullen but I'd be happy to draw a couple of the winner's splices.

The more restrictions, the better I will do B ) Unless it's time-related! If it's going to work out, I need a weekend to enter, because my weekdays are too busy.

Alright, seems like folks aren't too thrilled about the idea of having less time, so let's keep it at one week. What about other ideas for restrictions? Are there any little provisos or challenges in particular that our contestants want to try?
Looks like makkilemore, learningtimebuster and lucariolis will be our judges. There's still room for one more if anyone is interested, but we can also go ahead with three.

What exactly would judging be based off of? Cause If I could chime in, maybe making a bit of criteria could be cohesiveness? making it so that when the secret ingredient(s) is/are given, we have to really try to use them.

Yeah, bear in mind that a lot of limitations turns into something like a checkbox that we just have to fill out. The hard part about iron splicer is that we have to create many things using just one thing, which is what puts the pressure on - generating enough unique ideas that work well, while being creative about it.
We could try swapping splicing ingredients to come up with a new set, which means at two of those splices would have to feature two ingredients because six into four does not go easily.
Or pick each judge's least favourite Pokemon to splice with (cue 4 Luvdiscs) as a list of ingredients to pick from, or in addition to a single ingredient.

Piles- The criteria for judging would be similar to Iron Splicer, with an emphasis on technical skill, creativity, and the prominent use of the Secret Ingredient(s) but also earning points for variety. Consistency within the collection is a good criterion, too. It's been something that I tend to score for in the regular contest, although I don't think it's ever been official.
Kullen- This is a really interesting idea, but I'm not sure it would be fair to have each of you working with a different set of Secret Ingredients. Plus, you have one more Iron Splicer victory than Piles does.
Okami- Yes, you can judge.
How about this for a possibility: Each contestant secretly chooses one Pokemon and sends it to me. In addition, I choose one Pokemon unknown to either contestant. At the start of the contest, I announce the three Secret Ingredients. In addition to the standard rules and scoring, the only new criterion is that each splice must feature at least two of the Secret Ingredients, and at least one of the four splices must feature all three!

Hella, let's go with that there's a weekend approaching fast so let's get this going while we're enthused instead of crying blood trying to get things done on the last day

Alright, pilesofpixels and kullenuska, each of you please send me a message that specifies one Pokemon that you'd like to see included as a Secret Ingredient in this challenge. I will post the starting announcement once I have received both ingredients.
