NikhilR Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just now, gbwead said: Alright, I'll pick and choose 15 players to talk about out of that made it past round 2. 1) Nagahex: I didn't know who he was prior to the WC where he/she did very well in LC for Argentina. 2) Oscarfail: PSL player, you should know who he is. 3) Zhiko: You should know who he is. 4) Redav: You should know who he is. 5) Madara: You should know who he is. 6) Aurum: You should know who he is. 7) Lotus: You should know who he is. 8) Abstract: You should know who he is. 9) Caanserbero: He does usually well in tournaments and probably won some. 10) RealDevilLegend: PSL and WC player. 11) Saanti/Efronx: You just said you noticed him. 12) OrangeManiac: You should know who he is. 13) Briantattackpro: Very good player and ladders a lot. 14) Haazuu: No clue who that guy is. 15) Butler: @DrButler, that guy. 16) Zymogen: You should know who he is. 17) RabbitAxel: I can't say who it is or if he's good or bad, but I believe he is very active. 18) Inuyasha: I think that's actually an old player, but I don't know him. 19) Villadelobos: PSL and WC player that did well. 20) Evlgoon: You should know who he is. 21) Elregur: Idk who he is, but he won against Urquidi so he can't be that bad. Okay, 1) Nagahex has a 2-3 record for Argentina. I'll say he / she is competent but nowhere near great. 2) Oscarfail - good player 3) Zhiko - good player 4) Redav - good player 5) Madara - good player 6) Aurum - good player 7) Lotus - I know who he is, but I don't know how good he is. What was his PSL record? 8) Abstract - good player 9) Caanserbero - Show me some tours that he has done well in. 0 mentions in the HoF. 10) RealDevilLegend - good player 11) saanti - Good player 12) OrangeManic - Good player 13) brianatackpro - He's got one mention in HoF, but I don't know other than that how good he is. 4/6 of his opps are people I don't recognize:https://pokemmo.eu/tournament/?id=1142 14) Haazuu - Probs one of the top 5 players in this list 15) Butler - good player 16) Zymogen - I know he is, but I don't know how good he is 17) RabbitAxel - Yeah, he's most likely not good despite his activity. 18) Inuyasha - Definitely not an old player, and if an old player, then not a good one since I haven't heard of him. Probably not one even now. 19) villadelobos - Heard of him, what team did he play for in WC? I want to see his record. 20) Evlgoon - good player 21) Elregur - Beating urquidi is not an achievement seeing as how I found urquidi's name in the WC Spreadsheet, and dude was 0-3. There are some good players and below tier players in this list, and VERY, VERY few that I would ever trust to play a tiebreaker.

I don't blame you at all, MMO is a sinking ship with the way things have been going lately, and it doesn't seem like there'd be much of an improvement. My advice would be to focus more on Showdown.

E: maybe he actually did a decent play by doubling biba into obv lix or something like that, idk. doesnt change the fact hes bad and made finals thx to spamming bdrum/+4 sd. Spoiler no offense, just facts. so ill rephrase: you dont have to be bad to use it, but you dont need a single brain cell either. 51 minutes ago, NikhilR said: You'll meet some great folks (and horrible ones) who will make battling so much more enjoyable. if you´re selective matches in here arent too shabby either. grinds dumb tho, ye.

According to the hall of fame, he's made just one less nu final than you have. idk santiii, but not all that fair to just straight up say he's bad. And if I was him, I'd take not needing to use a single brain cell to make one less final any day..

I think you have the potential to become much better, and you really have a great attitude from what I can tell, so I know you're going to do well if you keep up what you're doing.

DoubleJ Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Everyone wants to believe they're better or that their meta was superior to any other. Regardless, in the past we had a better, more competitive "community." Today, the "game" itself is better but the community is really weak. That's what it really comes down to. Now with that in mind, I'd argue that any top tier player from the past, that commits the ridiculous amount of hours in that we use to, would probably be right there at the top of the totem pole today. #stillnotat10k#bejelly Flavawhat, Frag, IndicaBabu and 2 others 5 Link to comment
