. Furthermore, walling it is almost impossible; it 2HKOes Skarm with Frustration at +2, poops on Rotom-W (unboosted Return does like 40% to physically defensive, not to mention it can just not Mega and slap it with a MB EQ).
Alternatively;

252+ Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rotom-W: 128-151 (42.1 - 49.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

+2 252+ Atk Aerilate Mega Pinsir Return vs. 252 HP / 232+ Def Skarmory: 156-184 (46.7 - 55%) -- 14.5% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

0 Atk Skarmory Brave Bird vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Pinsir: 186-218 (68.3 - 80.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

So i was cleaning out my Video game cabinet the other day and you'll never guess what game happened tom topple out, Kingdom Hearts! So i dusted off the old ps2 and dove right in, and man was it a blast. It felt good to replay one of my favorite games of all time. When i beat it earlier today i was left thinking, "Man, that was better than i remembered it."

I have one big question to ask you fine folks, are there any games that are similar to Kingdom Hearts? Like ones that have a very driving story-line, fast paced game-play, amazing soundtrack, and basically everything else that makes kh so good. I have a ps3, wii, ps2, and gaming computer

Inb4 they just ban every Mega, call it a day, and go drink some frappuccinos.

You're the dealer then?
Yes, yes I am. If you don't happen to have a Lugia, I will be lovingly generous and willing to part ways with one of my fine specimen for 9,999,999 yen.

I've also heard TWEWY was absolutely astounding. You should give it a try.

On Pokemon talk though, is there any Mega that someone can convincingly say wouldn't get banned? The point of Megas is to be over the top powerful so I'm not sure how they'd fit into an ideal balanced competitive environment. Not pretending to know that metagame well, just not sure if there are Megas at that kind of level (given they are, well, Mega).

On that note I just realized the most ridiculous Mega they could make:

Already have it, nice try though :)
My failed troll attempt :glare:
Like Nguz said, The worlds ends with you is pretty damn good. Okami is pretty good as well.

There are a lot of megas that are fairly tame by even UU standards. Medicham, Garde, and manetric all fit pretty well into UU. Blastoise as well.

The opinion with all of those are gonna be very different with each person but you will have to look into series and try them out yourself. With that being said I would say check out Breath Of Fire series, Fire Emblem series and the Legacy Of Kain series.

I know they wont ban M- Banette, M- Gardevoir, M- Aerodactly, M- Abomasnow, M-Houndoom and M-Ampharos unless these pokes get a mad buff in the 3rd game in 6th gen.

Also if TalonFlame gets a Mega form I will flip soo much crap and punch somebody, pokemon like Typholsion, Meganium, Ferligator, Tropius, Starraptor, Fearow and Druddigon need a mega form way more than Talonflame seriously screw that Poke.

Obvious salt post.

Okami is top tier. There's a reason it's my avatar and signature.

It would be even worse if his Mega didn't change his ability and just boosted his stats more so you'd end up with a 300+ base attack Gale Wings Talonflame

Ofc Nintendo wouldn't do that, now would they? ;)

I'd pay good money for a Mega Staraptor

Tropius needs some attention after his many years of neglect.
You folks know whats up. Also Tropius already knows Dragon dance via egg move and if you have that with contrary then it would be counterproductive.

When I was a kid and got KH used, I think I got stuck early on and quit: just like almost all of the Link games.
You could try USB-loading Kingdom Hearts 2 and emulating Castlevania Symphony of the Night. They're both just memorable games more so than amazing though.

Looks cool to me. It's still weaker than Moltres though right?

Have you ever played Magic Pengel? I never played Okami, hopefully when I start to USB load eventually I'll try it. I think I've lost most of my drive along with time available for single player games. I kinda burnt out of everything but Smash, it's kinda irking me but I guess everything else just sucks like LoL/Dota 2, and the only cool games like Third Strike and Free Unrealistic FPS games (Urban Terror 4.2/Legions Overdrive) need a way bigger scene (in the US). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qYr13bLv80

Mega Lucario and Charizard are miles more broken than Pinsir. Pinsir does one thing and can be prepared for. Lucario and Charizard get to pick and choose battles and are a complete gamble to counter without risking the sacrifice of at least one member. Both variants of both Pokemon are capable of dealing massive damage to even their own attacking stat's walls. Charizard Y's Fire Blast 3HKOs Blissey and 2HKOs Florges, while Lucario can run the gambit of specialized to mixed to take out anything not designed specifically to counter it and it alone.

Pinsir loses not just to one of the most used mons in the game, but also to anything designed as a general physical wall or tank without needing specific builds against it.

Checking since this was posted, Mega-Lucario was indeed banned. Charizard is much more suspect than Pinsir still. Aerialate QA is strong, and Air Return is formidable, but much, much more able to be dealt with than the gamble of Cherry, and still outclassed by bravestbird.swf.
Gonna keep this response short because I gotta poop bad. First, I'm not gonna dispute that the Chars could be broken. Their checks and counters are polarized; plus, Mega Char-X is very difficult to stop. There's no doubt in my mind, that of the currently available megas, they're the hardest to deal with.

Next: I don't think that you understand how easy it is for Mega Pinsir to blast through its "checks". Rotom-W is super easy to weaken (60% is where it needs to be for Pinsir to plow it over, and between switching into SR, as well as other big threats, that... isn't an uncommon scenario). Also, Skarmory WILL die if it tries to Brave Bird a +2 Mega Pinsir. Moreover, Skarm... really... isn't hard to pressure; if it chooses to keep its life and WWs, it's likely to drag in something that can finish it off or force it out.

P.S-Pinsir also gets Thrash and Double-Edge, so #BraveBirdSux

No, I'll check out Magic Pengel then. :o And that Mega is just crazy because Talonflame is already oversaturating things, so if they give him a Mega (and on top of that let him keep whatever ability he originally has) then he will pretty much skyrocket and likely be insta banned (on top of being insane).

As for games I like, I'm driven towards the adventure single players. Okami, 3D Ecco, Journey, Spyro, lesser knowns like FreeSpace and I of the Dragon, those kinds of things. I also tend to like space shooters/scrollers. Pokemon is probably the only exception due to it being there from my childhood.

Its banned from OU because of 3 words.
Power-up Punch.
Power-up-punch was obnoxious, but everyone forgets that Mega-kanga gets wish and double seismic toss. straight 2hkoing everything thats not a fully invested base 100hp and up (non ghosts) requiring no investments itself is obnoxious. I think even if Megakanga didn't learn Power-up punch, or that the move was banned on kanga, that it still would be too strong.

I had fun with wish/protect/toxic/seismic toss while it lasted though.

Don't bother with Magic Pengel. Graffiti Kingdom is much more refined, and you even get some neat cameos in the unlockable premade drawings.

PuP was only the icing on the cake. Kang's initial immense power coupled with very good bulk made it very hard for most teams to prepare for. Additionally, Kangaskhan, akin to Swirlix in LC, could change its entire list of checks and counters by swapping out one of its already superb offensive options for something nearly as effective (e.g, dropping Return for Double-Edge so it could OHKO Hippo at +2; or dropping Fire Punch for Crunch to stick it to nearly every Ghost that could be considered a check).

"We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokemon....

......and we succeeded...."

You suddenly realize that the main character of the current Pokemon manga happens to be one of the best trainers and his signature pokemon is Kanghaskan.

He also has a mega ring.

Oh, the six year old WiFi VS Offline debate...

Offline obviously wins, but it simply goes like this: Offline competitive > WiFi competitive > Offline CPU. So sorry I don't have a car and a bucket of cash to go to tournies. So sorry I live in a small town with almost no Smash players. So sorry that my internet is substantial enough to actually make WiFi tolerable in comparison to almost everyone elses, making the lag almost nonexistent.... almost.

Given that I've never participated in a tournament, offline or WiFi, I actually found merit in playing.

Thanks. ;)

I'm not quite as scared of Mega Pinsir as I am of other stuff. He's a ****ing MONSTER, but at least you know what you're dealing with when you see him. I tend to feel more threatened by Charizard, even if Pinsir is more threatening on an individual basis, because Charizard is a bit of a guessing game.
Having reliable Stealth Rocks that can be set up multiple times per match feels like a necessity to deal with him, and if your walls aren't at or near full health Pinsir can just blast through them... Being able to hit him with a status ruins his day obviously, thankfully you can burn him unlike mean old Charizard X :(
Even then he's still pretty hard to check because he resists some common priority, has priority of his own, and then they just give him 105 base speed because **** it yolo, oh and hey let's give him some respectable defenses!
You know, I used to loathe team preview but the threats nowadays are just so damn huge that it feels like the game would be broken in half without it. God save your soul if you had to play against something like Mega Pinsir without knowing it was there.

no johns, I have no job and no cash flow and I drive 3 hours to the nearest large city to compete
where there are actually decent players who play with each other and not on wifi, and 0 frames of lag vs a minimum of 7
feeling great about winning a wifi tourney is alright you're fine with being king of the scrubs and master of the lag spikes tho
