I'm waiting for the dlc before I play it again

legorhin Jan 18, 2020 9:42 PM nintendo

WBE week 1 released today

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:51 AM nintendo

All the expected players made it through

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:52 AM nintendo

WBE apparently does not allow pokegen

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:54 AM nintendo

WBE?

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:55 AM nintendo

World Battle Entertainment, it's a pokemon draft league

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:58 AM nintendo

Joey, Emvee, Gator, aDrive, and Wolfey are probably the top players

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:58 AM nintendo

Cybertron also won his game

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:12 AM nintendo

Wolfey has won all 3 seasons of WBE so he is probably the first seed

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:13 AM nintendo

Cybertron is a noob to singles, but Wolfey was too season 1

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:14 AM nintendo

I think cybertron did decently well, but isn't fit for the top

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:15 AM nintendo

I was watching his set but almost fell asleep. It looked like a mess so I'll finish it now

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:16 AM nintendo

idk much about aDrive, only every league I've seen him in he knocks out top players

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:18 AM nintendo

Gator, Emvee, and Joey are friends. Gator being a nigger who's done very well in drafts, winning a few. Emvee's an indian nerdy guy, who tends to favor unconventionality over practicality. And Joey is basically the poster-child of smogon

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:19 AM nintendo

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

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:19 AM nintendo

It's awful

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:19 AM nintendo

6v6, if it has a time limit at all, needs it to be much longer

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:20 AM nintendo

it changes the strategy a bit, just like different chess time rules do

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:20 AM nintendo

Winning through timer stalling is never satisfying

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:20 AM nintendo

By smogon rules I've seen plenty of games go over 150 turns

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:21 AM nintendo

I think Wolfey did that in the World Champions Invitational for one game and people were pissed

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:21 AM nintendo

but thats 4v4 doubles so the time is less of an issue

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:21 AM nintendo

Joey got a very unorthodox win last wbe by timer stalling

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:22 AM nintendo

People weren't really happy with it, since it was his toxapex vs a rest araquanid I think

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:22 AM nintendo

His toxapex would've been pp stalled to death, but he was able to timer stall and win by having more mons total

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:24 AM nintendo

if its in the rules as a win method its an option

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:24 AM nintendo

Yeah, but it goes against the standard 6v6 rules, rules that are much more fitting to the format

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:27 AM nintendo

cybertron probably would have lost if his opponent went for the second round of toxic spikes turn two

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:27 AM nintendo

2 layers normally isn't worth it

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:28 AM nintendo

he was recover stalling in this game though

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:29 AM nintendo

though it takes awhile for that extra damage to matter

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:30 AM nintendo

Only really effective vs stall oriented teams, except that all the best stall pokemon right now are immune to being poisoned

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:31 AM nintendo

Corviknight and clefable are currently the most viable pokemon in ou

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:31 AM nintendo

not including Snorlax?

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:31 AM nintendo

Why would snorlax be viable

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:31 AM nintendo

because he is in doubles and I don't know singles

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:32 AM nintendo

You can't really pull off belly drum trick room in singles

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:32 AM nintendo

oh

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:33 AM nintendo

His best sets would either be going with curse resttalk darkest lariat, or a 4 attacks set with AV or CB

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:34 AM nintendo

Recycle sets kind of got nerfed

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:55 AM nintendo

pokeaim's set is strange

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:55 AM nintendo

stalling for poison to kill everything

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:58 AM nintendo

Works well with pressure corviknight

Gent Jan 19, 2020 4:59 AM nintendo

Joey's one flaw is that he usually plays too safe in the early game, forcing him to make big predictions later

Gent Jan 19, 2020 5:01 AM nintendo

He ends up sacking his pokemon to go for easy immediate damage, banking on the corviknight end game

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 5:12 AM nintendo

why are they allowed to have duplicate items?

Masahiro Sakurai recently played Minecraft on his Nintendo Switch for the FIRST TIME. This has Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fans believing he’s preparing for ‘Steve’ in Smash. This doesn’t confirm ANYTHING, but it’s true that Mr. Sakurai plays a game prior to a fig...

Yoiko’s Minecraft Survival was an interesting show, so I decided to start playing Minecraft. I don’t usually go back to games after I’ve completed them, but when something piques my interest, it can’t be helped.” -Masahiro Sakurai on playing Minecraft on his N...

Dan K. Meme Jan 19, 2020 12:47 PM nintendo

another sword fighter

Deleted User Jan 19, 2020 12:48 PM nintendo

steve would be a fishing rod user

Deleted User Jan 19, 2020 12:48 PM nintendo

with ender pearl teleport abilities

Dan K. Meme Jan 19, 2020 12:49 PM nintendo

steve uses a boat actually

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 12:55 PM nintendo

steve's grab should be a boat

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 12:55 PM nintendo

and his jab should be a diamond hoe

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 12:56 PM nintendo

I love that Sakurai had to make a statement on playing Minecraft in his free time

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 1:23 PM nintendo

a guy running Durant just got to Finals at the first Sword and Shield VGC regional

Gent Jan 19, 2020 2:02 PM nintendo

Why does vgc have an item clause

Gent Jan 19, 2020 2:06 PM nintendo

Their rules just seem really arbitrary

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 2:55 PM nintendo

knowing only one of each item can be used limits the options for predicting the items for other pokemon

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:00 PM nintendo

It limits team strategies a lot for 6v6

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:01 PM nintendo

what's vgc doing for dynamax

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:01 PM nintendo

It's not much different from having a "move clause" imo

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:01 PM nintendo

They banned gigantamax

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:02 PM nintendo

Something to do with how hard it is to get certain forms

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:02 PM nintendo

isn't

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:02 PM nintendo

competitive about grinding

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:03 PM nintendo

or hexing

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:03 PM nintendo

VGC has to work around the fact that they don't want people just pokegenning and saving time from their lives

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:03 PM nintendo

They ban mythics I think

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:03 PM nintendo

problem is

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:04 PM nintendo

that they basically have supported it in the past

taxes Jan 19, 2020 3:04 PM nintendo

impossible balls etc.

Gent Jan 19, 2020 3:05 PM nintendo

They ban pokemon based on what they are, and not how they are

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:09 PM nintendo

they are allowing gigantamax in waves

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:09 PM nintendo

there are 10 legal atm i believe

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:10 PM nintendo

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.

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 4:11 PM nintendo

and a bunch of new costumes and the three extra session extender abilities are the rest

legorhin Jan 19, 2020 10:18 PM nintendo

Cosmos just reverse 3-0ed Dabuz with Corrin in top 8 of a major
