This is actually beautiful and I can't agree more.

Pfft. Didnt even go through the effort of actually doing a proper calculation. #shame

Did we just kill part of this season hype by outright knowing who the managers will be? also

Holy cringeness

What am I watching?

Imagine being a host, trying to shift your responsibilities to a stupid system and the community. Imagine enforcing a BO2 for no reason out of spite, when it was clearly not well accepted the last time. You keep saying this is a community event and yet you make-up all the dumb rules yourself with little to no feedback time. By now everyone has realized everything in this system was made to prevent players you don't like from joining. Just man it up and don't overcomplicate things geez its a goddamn game afterall, even if you spend more time in there than in life itself. For the first time Im not even sure I should sign up to this clownfest.

I mean valid as being problematic sorry.

I agree with King's rock. I disagree with Cursed Body. There are multiple ways to work around the ability the same way one can play around Togekiss or even stuff like Gyarados. I don't understand the video you showed either because the rain player misplayed to oblivion. Accupressure is a meme and I won't even dwell into it. Sand Veil is valid because fixed evasion is just bs in this game in general.

Last month was because Lucario is in. But now, when its even worse, its because of random matchmaking kek

everything in UU is also 2hkoed by a Life orb Blaziken. It doesn't mean Blaziken is broken there otherwise it would be more used by now. Now I will reply not only for you but for everyone. Having no counters or 2hkoing an entire tier nowadays is just pointless and I don't get why some people insist on spamming calcs as if it was not. (I have stopped replied to those really). What truly matters (and sadly I don't see this being brought much) is how often said Pokemon can put itself in a position where it has the chance of pressuring the tier like that, or in other words how consistent the Pokemon is in having no counters. Otherwise stuff like Dragonite would be Uber cause mixed 4 attack Dnite literally 2 shots the entire tier without even predicting. The tier simply doesn't allow it to be in said position that many times in a battle. PS: I am not claiming Blaziken is not problematic. In fact, I believe it may be, not because it 2hkoes the entire tier but has the typing and the environment to be in that position multiple times through a single duel. Its about time the community understands that Pokemon isnt black and white and neither are calcs or feats like having no counters. Thank you all for my pep talk.

This aged up pretty well.

You cannot have "fun" and "Evasion is allowed" in the same mode man.

Ok boys (And ladies), allow me to input my personal view of Lucario. First of all, I too believe Lucario seems a bit too powerful for the tier. Its usage and Winrate has been superb until now and the calcs are super promising. Is it broken? At first glance so it seems. However, I am not here to vote under first glances neither to take rash assumptions based on whatever is claimed after 3-4 days of testing but instead I prefer doing my own testing as well as watching relevant matches. What did I find out? Lucario sadly isn't very consistent. Yes, it can sweep teams after set up and yes it is very hard to stop it once its set, however based on my experience as well as experience while watching tournaments, Lucario doesn't do it very consistently. Most of the time it either dies early or is saved for way too late, where it no longer does what it is supposed to do. In other words, most of the most common Pokemon don't give Lucario a proper free set up, unless under specific conditions like a locked Krookodile's crunch, which is actually the main gateway I see for an incoming Set up. Also, unfortunately Lucario without set up is pretty lacking and is pretty much a worse Heracross. Maybe I haven't played enough or spectated enough or maybe the battles I play or the ones I watch are unfortunate, but so far I haven't yet seen, in practice, Lucario being the monster people claim it to be. This of course doesn't mean I think Lucario is not broken. On the contrary, I still think it has the potential to be, but people are yet experimenting with nonoptimal sets, also other people are adapting against it with nonoptimal builds. However, from what I have experienced so far, it doesn't warrant for me, at least, a quick-ban. 2 more things I want to address, and this is as well my personal view of it: First if Lucario is able to maintain these numbers (Usage + winrate) for a week or two, I will vote to ban it, not because the Pokemon becomes Uber Offensive, but because those numbers alone are a really good indicator of a super centralizing Pokemon that just works too well. Second, in the eventual future where Porygon2 is banned, I believe it is worth to note that in such a meta Lucario will pretty much lose the most common gateway to set up, and thus it would be indirectly nerfed. Tldr; I think Lucario has the potential to be uber offensive. However, so far in practice, it is not warranting any quick-ban status and neither is it living to what people are claiming, so my decision is not yet decisive.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Others want to walk on it. - Heavy Duty Boots probably.

First of all thank you for hosting this marvellous event. ign: pachima title: Icy Valley

I swear these names are even worse than mines.

Can I get community to share their inputs (respectfully) about P2? I've been running ladder for the past few days, and across all tiers this Pokemon is probably the only one (Apart from Dugtrio) that may warrant a discussion. I don't want to elaborate much for now, but I'll just write a starting point: First it is a mon that is terribly hard to switch into with an offensive team thanks to its coverage options, an already solid special attack and access to download. Not only that but its gargantuan defenses allow it to pretty much switch against anything that doesn't pack a stabbed and powerful Fighting move. This by itself may not be considered banworthy but there is something I realized upon spectating plenty of late rounds tournaments in UU: A lot, and I mean a lot, of teams are actually awfully built and weak to a lot of common stuff, except P2 is there to fix all those flaws without any major drawback whatsoever and I don't believe that is a good thing. In sum, P2 is way way too good not to be used in bulkier teams, and even a really viable option to serve as a pivot in more offensive ones. Is it too good for UU? I am not so sure yet, although by experience I can state it is really really a pressuring point in any battle that shouldn't be considering its absurd bulk capabilities, as well as deciding games in its own commonly once the enemy runs out of their Fighting mons (Which isn't hard to do since the tier has plenty of options of those) or if they simply do not possess them. Feel free to add into this.

Nah, anything is better than gen3 UU mmo.

Imagine sharing 500 calcs of a Modest p2 with just 25% usage.

Im losses. Good luck Peru and Chile for the rest of it.

me vs mendeez in 10 or so.
