Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[san.]

Pokemon gen 5 is actually pretty fun. Me and Light have been ****** on pokemon-online servers.

 

[theeboredone]

Just talked to Kimchi. Still in highschool and already going to college parties and getting wasted. Freakin lied about his study johns. I'm effin pissed.

 

[san.]

Sounds like kimchi to me.

 

[Nysyarc]

Seriously? I never would have guessed at that side to him. I didn't know him too well though.

I haven't gotten into any Pokemon game since Gen II. Guess I'd just grown out of it by that point, but I still play R/B and G/S once in a blue moon out of nostalgia. I tried HG/SS and they weren't bad... doesn't mean I'm willing to give Gen 5 a chance though, the Pokemon's names have just been getting uncreative and uninspired IMO, among other things.

 

[Mr. Doom]

F-Zero GX.

So fun...yet so hard...still can't beat most of the levels on the hardest setting...

Snaking kinda broke the game though, but I couldn't think of any other way to win.

I don't know if you guys want to waste your time watching all these videos, but at least look through the first two. I believe they'll be worth your time.

doesn't mean I'm willing to give Gen 5 a chance though

Gen V looks fun

@san

if you and light are ****** so much, battle some youtube pokemon players to get yourself out there

 

[Heartstring]

ive only recently looked into pokestuff, but im more about using favourites instead of the best...
same reason i love NU so much XD

 

[YagamiLight]

We like ****** in secret, thank you very much.

San doesn't drop any games in Pokemon, either. He's in the top ten on the server!

 

[Heartstring]

tut, just naturally good at everything?
curse you XD

 

[YagamiLight]

Yeah, he's solid at everything.

To put it in perspective I'm like top 100 right now compared to his top 10.

I need to use more broken Pokemon.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

LOL, I didn't even know we were doing that as a side event. Wow, this will be... interesting. And what stages of yours btw? I'd be willing to suggest them to our TOs if you can send me pictures or something.

Isolation and Skyscraper Peak

link isn't working

 

[Nidtendofreak]

lol whoops. One moment.

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=288972

 

[Heartstring]

oh, what team do you use?
i havent done B&W yet so im still stuck on gen 4
ninjask
breloom
magnezone
donphan (thinknig of switching for tentacruel or some other rapid spinner+stage hazard maker)
heatran
dusknoir

 

[Tech-Nelium the Shark]

niddo i think on the parts of isolation where the slants meet the squares snake can "glitch" through thin parts of the stage. I,ve done it in man matches with snake and im not sure if anyone else can do it.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I saw the part where it said that Meat Knight was banned, and then I stopped reading that link.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

MK being banned is a good thing. Don't know what on earth is taking everyone else so long.

And I realize that Megla, but I made this stage quite a while back. >_> He can easily put in two more blocks if it becomes a problem.

 

[Espy Rose]

I saw the part where it said that Meat Knight was banned, and then I stopped reading that link.

This is the reason why this game doesn't progress.
Stubborn. I don't see why people should stop reading anything just because of a certain opinion that doesn't match their own.

it's not really a problem just something to be aware of.

I was thinking about that counter glitch if we don't hit them. Can anyone tell me how many extra frames of stun they suffer. That combined with jab 1's +16 frame advantage could set up a charged up smash or maybe even a f smash

 

[Mr. Doom]

I don't think MK should be banned. However, I did note that you can agree to use MK, so I suppose it may be worth trying. Also, after glancing through the ruleset again, I saw some counter-pick stages on there that people whine about. I tried hosting a tournament with some of those counter-pick stages like Port Town and Distant Planet, and the people who don't usually place well in my area went livid.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Not your fault they won't poke their noses into more than about 10 stages. *shrugs* Either they adapt, or they fail. NS has been running those CPs for a long time now with no problems.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Personally, I don't care where we go because I believe I'm well-rounded. Lately, I've been telling my opponent, after I beat him/her in one game, that I have no ban.

I may even find a way to play on a stage that totally screws over Ike, heheh.

 

[Ussi]

But i want to watch you guys battle D: (watches pokemon battles on youtube)

 

[san.]

I need something against breloom and special sweepers, because 90% of teams I see has breloom.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I suck in competitive Pokémon play, but I believe I know enough to get by. Are the Brelooms running Focus Sash? I think Swellow/Staraptor can one-shot them.

I run a Swellow with Flame Orb, Adamant nature, Max EVs in ATK and SPD, with these four moves: Protect, Brave Bird, Facade, U-turn. (But in the Battle Tower, Swellow has Aerial Ace instead because the CPUs always have Double Team, those cheaters.)

Edit: I forgot I had a Crobat as well...

 

[Espy Rose]

...

Use Breloom, San.

 

[Ussi]

If you want to deal with breloom, a sleep talker is your best bet. Try Roopushin with guts with hammer arm, mach punch(beat the sub)/rest(make your own use of sleep talk, i will personally stick with mach punch), payback, sleep talk, with special defense/HP ev's

It's basically anti sleeper machamp on Roopushin.

 

[YagamiLight]

Shanderaa destroys Breloom, sadly.

You might care to try it out.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

I've heard things of Gen V practically remolding what the metagame used to be with Stealth Rock no longer a TM, the pre-evolution stone, and a couple of Dream World abilities *coughdittocough*. I'm not into competitive Pokemon myself, but I at least know what I'm doing to some extent (though I fail horribly). Dunno why, but I seem to like Magnezone, Electivire, and Gyarados.
@San: How about running scarfed speed sweepers?
@Ussi: Watching shoddy matches on Youtube seems kinda boring to me. =/ Unless you were talking about the carts.

Also: college application johns.

 

[Ussi]

shoddy battles? I watch people playing wifi battles on their DS with narration. I'd recommend watching wilechase, blakblastoise, and the PMP (Poke Mosh Pit) network.

Also Shanderra can't switch into Breloom, he'll get spore'd

 

[Tech-Nelium the Shark]

Potentially new tech for Ike - RUNNING JAB

MU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Teh Brettster]

Oh hey, that looks... a lot slower than Bair and dash-shield-jab. Next, please.

 

[theeboredone]

5 points for music lol.

 

[YagamiLight]

Also Shanderra can't switch into Breloom, he'll get spore'd

It's a lot more dangerous to just randomly toss out Spore now thanks to Magic Mirror Espeon.

Often, just seeing shanderaa means that your current Pokemon is a goner.

EDIT: ALSO: Ike's initial dash is very good (one of the best among Ike's character type [i.e. powerhouse]) so even if this takes like 15 frames it's still definitely something worth mastering.

 

[Tech-Nelium the Shark]

Oh hey, that looks... a lot slower than Bair and dash-shield-jab. Next, please.

know your options

 

[Teh Brettster]

Rar Bair. Dash attack. Shield-dash-jab.

Standing Bair. Turnaraound jab. Pivot grab.

Those options are all better.

I don't see how it's something "worth mastering."

Show me consistent proof and I might believe you.

 

[Slaps]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcphH1MSErY vid vs Ultimaterazer is up =D i posted in critique thread but also wanted to share in here XD

 

[Heartstring]

i use brelom, rubbing standard spore puncher set should be good, but i know a lot of people who replace seed bomb for stone edge

also breloom should almost alwasy be runnig poison heal and toxic orb

lord imagine if breloom could use trick, the shenanigans XD

my personal favourite duo is ninjask baton passing into breloom and destroying lives XD

 

[Mr. Doom]

>_> Ninjask, Focus Sash, Swords Dance, Protect, Baton Pass. *sigh* I didn't have my Crobat out, so I wasn't able to taunt it...

 

[Heartstring]

focus sash? hmm. thats actually a better plan than my current one, i might use that
