Ah yeah, I really miss that. Shadow Ball was hilarious.
I was praying for the return of his charging hitbox, but seeing how well he's being doing lately it would be best not to give him too much power.
I'm in a similar situation, at least for Mewtwo. I dropped the character shortly after hearing about the infinite, then focused all of my attention on Robin and Roy. Heck, with Roy, I didn't even use the character that much before July and now he's probably my second best because of how rusty I am with Mewtwo. Granted, last time I used Mewtwo, I had to deal with having not used him in a long time and getting used to a different controller layout since I switched from the gamecube controller to the wii classic pro. I decided to pick Mewtwo back up as a serious secondary since I'll be able to start going to tournaments in a few months.
I find that there are two main differences between FG and offline. FG is frame trap based, while offline is more punish based. FG is a place where powerful options are used because they work, while offline players understand that the most optimal option isn't always optimal. For example, He who strikes first continually on FG losses. It is super easy to punish there option because you have an extra 10-20 frames to react to it.
Be forewarned that Anther's has it's share of laggy spammers in the lower ranks. Other then that, it's a good tool.
This is also my curse, state and all.
Ehhhh... Nair in Neutral is useful. However, Aba doesn't have many options out of it. Look at Rich Brown. He is able to consistently get a reward off of it. This in itself makes it okay. Also, it is character dependent. The worst Greninja could do against it is Fair him, however, Fair is so slow that it takes quite a bit of maneuvering to punish it on reaction. If you get readable with your Nairs, then stop. But if you mix it up enough, then it isn't bad at all.
I guess it kinda is life.
Truth. It's been a lot of fun watching him get better each week. Him and Pink Fresh are the 2 best players in MDVA by a wide margin.
The main problem with Lance is his Aerodactyl, since its base speed is 130. As a result, Aerodactyl can really cause problems for your team, even if your Pokemon has the attacks to take it down. If you're lucky enough to acquire a Scizor with Bullet Punch, however, then Aerodactyl can be taken down more easily, assuming that Scizor has the Technician ability of course.
Awesome, thanks. So if I were to add a link to the playlist here, like so:
I don't remember the specifics of how the end of my nuzlocke went but I entered the Elite Four with a Typhlosion, Gyarados, Lapras, Umbreon, Ampharos and Crobat and I don't recall having too much trouble from the Aerodactyl. I do recall only entering the Lance battle with 5 Pokemon and I wanna say Crobat was the one that fell before that fight but I could be wrong. Looking at my team, I had 2 water types and an electric type plus Umbreon is rather bulky so I can see why I wouldn't have had trouble with Aerodactyl in particular.
I remember 1 particular run I had, I lost a few members of my main team to Jasmine then lost the remaining members to Pryce and I was stuck with a bunch of level 20s and under. I said screw it, took a break for a few months then went back and started over. HG was not exactly fun to nuzlocke. Firered was plenty of fun and Black 2 has been fun although the beginning is a drag since you can only have at most 5 Pokemon before the first gym and none of them are rock or steel type. Riolu is the only fighting type you can get without grinding a Tepig and Riolu has a very low chance of appearing.
Gyarados can always resort to using Ice Fang instead. Ice Fang is less powerful than Ice Beam, but since it's a physical attack, Gyarados can pretty much deliver more damage with Ice Fang than with Ice Beam. The only problem that Ice Fang has, however, is that it as a 5% chance of missing.
Yeah, I don't have access to my nuzlocke file anymore but I can imagine my Gyarados had Ice Fang. Looking at it's gen IV moveset, I probably also gave it Waterfall or Aqua Tail and Earthquake. Last move could've been anything. Guessing it was either Dragon Dance, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Strength or Return.
I definitely have interest in playing it, once I get a better job that gives me more economic stability so I can afford to pay the monthly fees.
Let me know when you're ready. I'll give you a friend recruitment code that gets us both goodies, and I'll show ya the ropes.
