If you have to run so much support that your team ends up being a really bad sunny day spam kind of team just so it can be used to it's 'fullest potential', how is that worthwhile? Without sun, it's still a mon with base 140 SpA and base 115 speed and access to Nasty Plot. Is using Manaphy on a...
Don't think we're on the same page here, I'm talking about nasty plot/fire blast/dark pulse houndoom with sludge bomb, taunt or wisp in the last slot. Just because it gets solar power as an ability doesn't mean you need to be running a sunny day set.
zard y is always a nice balance breaker.
I dunno, I'm actually a pretty big fan of mega houndoom in OU, great speed tier and power, plus it switches in for free on stuff like mega sableye and really punishes those fat bulky teams. In terms of typing, the dark and ghost resist is quite rare tbh and really nice to have. In comparison, I...
I had a mega swampert rain team that got quite a lot of wins last PCL and in tours on smogon, but overall rain can be kinda eh, some matchups make it impossible to win with it and there isn't really that much variation you can have with them. Mega houndoom sounds cooler imo, or even something...
bw2 ou is far from a dead metagame though, it's one of the most featured metagames in official tournaments. spl, wcop, classic and stour (which is twice a year), bw2 ou gets more exposure in the tournament scene than the current gen lower tiers lol.
Since this is now over and stuff I guess I’ll post some of my thoughts on this event.
First off, I think you guys deserve props for actually managing to see this through right to the end. Considering this site isn’t particularly big on competitive battling, it’s quite the feat to manage to host...
there's absolutely no reason to be strict in enforcing deadlines for the finals tbh, it's not like we'll be holding up the tour anymore, and having a finals decided by activity would be a farce really.
that being said, missing the time yesterday was my bad, we should be able to get it done on...
looks like we're up again lol
right now i'm in a gmt+8 timezone which is a bit of a pain, but on the plus side i'm extremely free, so let me know when you're available and we should be able to work something out.
I don't think not giving points for activity wins is an option honestly, it would be incredibly unfair if you were robbed of your opportunity to earn points for your team simply because your opponent was inactive. It could also potentially be abused, leading teams could simply not do any of...
