[Fuelbi]

I was nervous as hell man

I do downright horrible when people are watching me do something

 

[Terywj [태리]]

We weren't really watching you. Just imagine. We weren't even at your place. You were intimidated by people online? Dude, I wasn't intimidated when I played Zook for BOTW 1 and I don't even play OU. You have no right to let your nervousness get the better of you.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

That was a pretty horrible move. No johns

That BP Lucario was pretty good cover for Gengar, TRG, considering the fact that Gengar ***** your entire time without it lol

Well, I don't have the confidence that you seem to have Tery

If it were in some spare time I'm sure I would've done better.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I'd say we were equal on luck. I got the lucky Roars on him while he won the speed tie, which was crucial because my Luke could sweep the whole team after 1 turn of setup.

 

[Pink Reaper]

If it makes you feel better, i lost my BOTW cus i forgot moves on my Metagross. We all do stupid stuff lol.

 

[Zankoku]

Some things I noted:

You guys have real guts playing for a speed tie on the Rotoms. And Celebi, every Rotom forme has the same base stats.

TRG's Luc could've easily OHKO'd Infernape with +2 ExtremeSpeed. I dunno whether Celebi legitimately bluffed a Mach Punch or if he just thought he'd be able to outspeed and KO with Overheat (and who throws out an Overheat with physically-based MixApe when looking for a switch-in?). Regardless, that very strongly stopped the sweep that TRG was all set up for by that point.

Switching out against pHazing Suicune even after the first Roar was pretty funny.

Rotom-C coming in to Trick a Scarf onto a pHazing Suicune also confused me, seeing as how a STAB Thunderbolt could very likely have outright killed it, and only allowed Roserade as a safe switch-in (Lucario had already revealed itself to be an SD set, so it's easily outsped by the Rotom, and it won't enjoy eating a STAB Thunderbolt either), probably opening up Infernape to punch some more holes.

 

[Gates]

What's the format for the next BOTW?

 

[The Real Gamer]

You guys have real guts playing for a speed tie on the Rotoms. And Celebi, every Rotom forme has the same base stats.

I was very desperate to get Rotom out of the way. Rotom and Gengar are the #1 pain in the ***es for my team. Gengar stops my Heracross flat out and Rotom stops both my Heracross and Lucario. I was just lucky enough to get it within killing range with my Heracross later in the match thanks to Sandstorm + entry hazards.

TRG's Luc could've easily OHKO'd Infernape with +2 ExtremeSpeed. I dunno whether Celebi legitimately bluffed a Mach Punch or if he just thought he'd be able to outspeed and KO with Overheat (and who throws out an Overheat with physically-based MixApe when looking for a switch-in?). Regardless, that very strongly stopped the sweep that TRG was all set up for by that point.

Yes I did indeed think he had a Mach Punch coming. Even if it didn't, I knew I had a golden opportunity to start phazing with my Suicune and spread some damage around.

Plus I knew he still had his Rotom out there, so I knew my sweep wouldnt last long. Like I said earlier I feel like if I won that speed tie, I would have won by a greater margin than I did.

Switching out against pHazing Suicune even after the first Roar was pretty funny.

That was just inexperience I guess.

But it made Suicune look that much shmexier.

Rotom-C coming in to Trick a Scarf onto a pHazing Suicune also confused me, seeing as how a STAB Thunderbolt could very likely have outright killed it, and only allowed Roserade as a safe switch-in (Lucario had already revealed itself to be an SD set, so it's easily outsped by the Rotom, and it won't enjoy eating a STAB Thunderbolt either), probably opening up Infernape to punch some more holes.

That move cost him the game. I also have no idea why he did that.

Maybe he thought I would switch? Who knows but it was quite an odd move for sure...

 

[Riddle]

Next BotW is Ubers.

I'll do the summary when I get back from Europe on friday. Might as well start noms now since the summary wont come for a while.

Gates and Circa (Writer) are my noms.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

If everyone is alright with going on Ubers for BOTW 11, then UU will be for BOTW 12.

 

[Wrath`]

Nominating Gates and Tery and Riddle

 

[Terywj [태리]]

But. I don't even play Ubers. Then again it's only one nomination.

I nominate Riddle, Writer Kupo, and Rockem7.

 

[Gates]

Notice how all the nominations are from CEOLCC.

I nominate Charmander, Wrath of Kaorin, and supermarth64

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Supermarth is gone.

 

[Riddle]

Everybody nominate Gates. He is actually really good at ubers. We go pretty even.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Riddle and Gates guys.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

BOTW 11 [Ubers]
Gates x3
Riddle x3
Writer
Terywj
Rockem7
Charmander
Wrath Of Koarin

Nominations will close 8/1 @ 4:00 PM Eastern.

 

[Gates]

Everybody nominate Gates. He is actually really good at ubers. We go pretty even.

This guy is full of ****, he beats me nearly every time unless he's using some stupid ****ty team.

 

[rockem7]

I nominate Writer and Gates. Riddle already did an Ubers BotW.

 

[Riddle]

I'm pretty sure I lost the last three times we played.

 

[Gates]

I'm pretty sure you were overpredicting and using that ****ty Primeape team the last 3 times we played.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Riddle was using Primape on an Ubers team? I definitely want to see him battle now.

@Rockem Yeah we saw Riddle battle in an Ubers match already but he wasn't playing against the best opponent ever...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Primeape has merit in Ubers. Immunity to sleep, and a good movepool. Give it a Choice Scarf and Primeape can be pretty potent.

 

[Moozle]

Ill vote for Riddle and Writer.

 

[UltiMario]

Writer and Gates

 

[Terywj [태리]]

BOTW 11 [Ubers]
Gates x4
Riddle x4
Writer x3
Terywj
Rockem7
Charmander
Wrath Of Koarin

 

[Pink Reaper]

Primeape has merit in Ubers. Immunity to sleep, and a good movepool. Give it a Choice Scarf and Primeape can be pretty potent.

With that monstrous base 105 attack and STAB that only hits Darkrai and Dialga Super Effective(and blissey i guess) you're not actually much of a threat. Keep in mind that Mewtwo, all the Deoxys forms, Lugia, Lati@s, Giratina, Rayquaza and Ho-Oh all resist your only legitimately strong move and pokemon like Groudon dont really give a **** about it with his amazing 140 def.

Essentially you're just Flygon with a less useful stab, a fast pokemon to spam U-turn lol.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Spamming U-Turn is basically what Primeape does in Ubers.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Exactly, and like i said, you could just use Flygon, what with the higher base speed and better STAB.

 

[Gates]

Primeape has merit in Ubers. Immunity to sleep, and a good movepool. Give it a Choice Scarf and Primeape can be pretty potent.

The thing about Primeape is, it's good if your team is weak to Darkrai, but bad if your team is weak to anything else.

Exactly, and like i said, you could just use Flygon, what with the higher base speed and better STAB.

Flygon? in Ubers?

The thing is though, why do that when I could run pretty much any other dragon instead? Aside from U-Turn.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I thought the idea was to use neither and keep that slot open for something so good it's not even allowed in OU rather than something so bad its not even used in UU?

 

[Gates]

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Just reading through the OP made me realize we've covered almost everyone that's involved in the Battle Tower, but there are a select few we still haven't seen yet (or that I would personally like to see):

Ankoku
Mood4food
CRASHiC
Wave+

 

[Zankoku]

I have zero experience with ubers, man.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Remember, nominations will close this afternoon before heading to what seems to be a three-way poll.
