Dunno about his specifically, but we usually use pixels not actual fonts

Moreso than what is mentionned in the OP, visibility is an issue for me. I used to be able to browse through team threads fairly easily and see which were updated in a second, looking at the round table subforum. Keeping up with what's going on is less enticing because of the additional maneuvering/existence of closed clubs. Because of that, I've noticed a drop in activity (posting, views, likes) in most team threads. Might be just me though. All I now know as far as teams go is that SASS is dead because Coolio smells. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of clubs & I don't have any easy solution to offer at this point in time.

Maybe like 20 identical threads/posts made in the past yeah

Trade chat going strong

@Aerun reading this thread

Glad you guys are listening, pleased by the short reaction time

Let this be the umpteenth thread wherein I suggest hiring a upper staff/GM/whatever you want to call it in touch with the competitive MMO community.

In what I quoted your premise was that the opponent knew your full set. Though this is correct if they're only aware of the scarf/trick. Locked dbond is always tricky for reasons I'm sure you're aware of. It'll surely do its job if played with the right timing. That aside, from the few lines I read in this and other comp threads, I think you should consider the limitations of a playstyle based on predicting, it obviously showcases game knowledge and confidence, but imo it should be a (though commonly used) last resort if your team is well made. Carry on discussing Gengar, love this btw perfectly demonstrates how much we need a dev that's not oblivious to all things related to competitive play

In the situation you describe, assuming the opponent is aware of your set, I would argue we're not talking prediction but glorified guessing. A cool trick is to first try not to put yourself in a position where you are forced to "predict".
