the time rule is interesting, but they are forced to do it

It's awful
6v6, if it has a time limit at all, needs it to be much longer
it changes the strategy a bit, just like different chess time rules do
Winning through timer stalling is never satisfying
By smogon rules I've seen plenty of games go over 150 turns
I think Wolfey did that in the World Champions Invitational for one game and people were pissed
but thats 4v4 doubles so the time is less of an issue
Joey got a very unorthodox win last wbe by timer stalling
People weren't really happy with it, since it was his toxapex vs a rest araquanid I think
His toxapex would've been pp stalled to death, but he was able to timer stall and win by having more mons total
if its in the rules as a win method its an option
Yeah, but it goes against the standard 6v6 rules, rules that are much more fitting to the format
cybertron probably would have lost if his opponent went for the second round of toxic spikes turn two
2 layers normally isn't worth it
he was recover stalling in this game though
though it takes awhile for that extra damage to matter
Only really effective vs stall oriented teams, except that all the best stall pokemon right now are immune to being poisoned
Corviknight and clefable are currently the most viable pokemon in ou
not including Snorlax?
Why would snorlax be viable
because he is in doubles and I don't know singles
You can't really pull off belly drum trick room in singles
His best sets would either be going with curse resttalk darkest lariat, or a 4 attacks set with AV or CB
Recycle sets kind of got nerfed
pokeaim's set is strange
stalling for poison to kill everything
Works well with pressure corviknight
Joey's one flaw is that he usually plays too safe in the early game, forcing him to make big predictions later
He ends up sacking his pokemon to go for easy immediate damage, banking on the corviknight end game
why are they allowed to have duplicate items?
>230 hours of youtube on his switch
sakurai youtubes
another sword fighter
steve would be a fishing rod user
with ender pearl teleport abilities
steve uses a boat actually
steve's grab should be a boat
and his jab should be a diamond hoe
I love that Sakurai had to make a statement on playing Minecraft in his free time
a guy running Durant just got to Finals at the first Sword and Shield VGC regional
Why does vgc have an item clause
Their rules just seem really arbitrary
knowing only one of each item can be used limits the options for predicting the items for other pokemon
It limits team strategies a lot for 6v6
what's vgc doing for dynamax
It's not much different from having a "move clause" imo
They banned gigantamax
Something to do with how hard it is to get certain forms
isn't
competitive about grinding
or hexing
VGC has to work around the fact that they don't want people just pokegenning and saving time from their lives
They ban mythics I think
problem is
that they basically have supported it in the past
impossible balls etc.
They ban pokemon based on what they are, and not how they are
they are allowing gigantamax in waves
there are 10 legal atm i believe
I finished the bonus content in TMS#FE. It is 3 short levels of item collection with a cool boss fight at the end, maybe 2 hours of content at most.
and a bunch of new costumes and the three extra session extender abilities are the rest
Cosmos just reverse 3-0ed Dabuz with Corrin in top 8 of a major
the current worst FE sword gets its only high profile win right before an even worse one comes out

ok so when do they add the rest of the fe roster and mario roster?
imagine the butthurt
if character 6 is also fe
and it is something retarded
like virion
Young Ike
New character confirmed
lute and joshua when
add a feh oc
would young ike just be the ike at the start of the game with the wood sword
but they give him a whole new moveset b/c flames don't really make sense without ragnell
Isnt younger ike one of the costumes?
