it's like... imagine if marvel vs. capcom became almost like a strategic card game. pokemon is like that

nothing makes sense and often how smogon handles its personal tier lists doesn't help that

but it's difficult to think of any other game that offers such a level of customization, because there's a potentially infinite number of options when building a team, and even an NU pokemon can find strange uses in high tiers, maybe just nobody unlocked their true potential

a pachirisu player won the VGC world championships this year

no, seriously
damn Follow Me is broken
I've been getting my fix that I used to get from pogemans from yugioh recently, but once oras drops I think I'm going to play more showdown.

@SpiderMad I think for the newest gens, you might want to look into VGC format. 1 v 1 for the past few Gens has been overall unappealing, at least in comparison to what I'd consider the sweetspot of ADV/DPPt.

Sometimes it's frustrating, because you can legit lose to people that you are outreading (and outplaying) due to a random crit/status/etc. Just comes with the territory

it's funnier when you realize that the only reason pachirisu was used was because he was the bulkiest follow me user that kalos had, and only using kalos pokemon was a requirement for VGC 2014

imagine what'll happen when other pokemon start to use it. although how many of them have that volt absorb/follow me combo, I would assume to be little, since that kind of just solves any issue gyarados has with most of his weaknesses

Well Rock Slide might still be annoying for him, although idk if there are any pokemon with access to both wide guard and follow me. Might be silly mixups to be had

also as you can tell from this infinitely cooler-sounding discussion, VGC owns, don't play smogon tiers and just use pokeshowdown for VGC and maybe the weirdo unofficial tiers like balanced hackmons

I wish there was a good follow me user to work alongside megadrill, a flash fire arcanine with follow me would own bones

yeesh, I didn't know if was that dry

Yeah I co-sign doing VGC for the newest gens. You'd be way better off not bashing your head into a brick wall, aka 1 v 1 these days

Pandering to "true" fans in ANYTHING is always a bad idea.
Those are some hardcore mental gymnastics ya doing there. Going for the gold or something?

Not only do I really really REALLY not agree with this (because when you're making a game, you have to set a target audience and make your game in a way that appeals to your target audience, so you're always pandering to SOME degree), but your statement is bursting at the seems with "No True Scotsmen".

And besides, I was talking about the core gaming audience. Kappa.

No, it's "Why can't my character do combos like that?"

The true bane of FG's

Smogon's mods are bad, but there are alot of other sites where their mods are down right terrible.

Ya'll some suckers. Play some Guilty Gear when it drops you nerds. Also we finally have a release date over here for it December 16 12 days after Japan gets it. I might have to put smash on the back burner and learn some airdashers.

I'll play SG when I finally sit down and learn the system stuff of the game and team based games like that in general. Last time I played it is a week or two ago when Eliza came out and that girl is a boss. I wanna learn that character if I take it seriously. As for P4A Ultimax I really wanna play it as well but no money and I don't have a JP PSN account for UNIEL. Trying to get a job before GGXRD and Smash 4 3ds drops.

Mfw I still don't know how 2 traditional fighter. I've been watching stuff for a while now, but go figure, you can't learn controls by watching.

Sadly, I can't afford anything for the time being. saving money for Wii u, Smash 4, gamecube controllers and Xenoblade.

I really love skull girls, but I'm not a fan of the combo game. If I got my fix through memorization and execution of input strings, I'd pick an instrument back up. I just play solo miss fortune and do small combos to oki mixups, repeat.

Can't wait to get new persona, oh my god I want to play the spear/dog guy so much. I played the build at Evo and fell in love with him. puppet character with disjoints? Yes pls.

That's what Skullgirls is now. They've heavily shaved down the combo game. It's a lot more reset heavy, and even then there is a visible undizzy meter.

YOu can do long combos still, but it'll burn ridiculous amount of bar.
