While standard sets may work well on paper, a little deviation is always suggested. And if it looks like a standard set, and isn't, that's only giving you the element of surprise. It's fine to have a couple standard sets, but an entire team of them? Also, if an Infernape is a lead, it most...

Oh, opps. The rest of my statement still stands, though. This team looks good on paper, but it would be interesting to see how you use it in battle.

I don't have much to say regarding the team members themselves, but while you may be "scouting" your opponent, chances are you'll be showing a good lot of your hand as well. It's an interesting concept, however, once your opponent catches on, they'll probably be able to poke a few holes in your...

Your biggest weakness is predictability. Try straying, if even a little, from the basic Smogon sets. But besides that: Infernape- Most of the leads Infernape will be messing up by taking away their sashes are still suicide leads, so once they get their SR up, they're done, and any damage done...

1- An evil Pikachu. 2- A demon after waking up (stubble, yawning, glowing eyes) 3- A grinning dragon with bifocals. 4- An ant carrying a baby ant with its mandibles. 5- A butterfly 6- Some kind of axe 7- Two insect-like arms giving thumbs-up 8- Two ferrets climbing up a rainbow bull 9- Bowser's...

I've skimmed this thread and the previous two, and I haven't seen this set yet. (But if somebody has already posted this, just tell me and I'll replace it with something else) Staraptor@ Focus Sash 4HP/252Atk/252Spe and Adamant (a +Speed nature isn't necessary) -Brave Bird -Close Combat...

Another question for you, Cartons!: What size do you usually use for the frames?

Fuck yeah! I love Double Battles! Much more room for creative strategy than its Single kin. I've taken up pages of my school notebook creating Double Battle pairings, but I'll only put a few up at a time: Heatran+Swampert/Empoleon (late game sweep) Heatran @ Expert Belt Flash Fire 4 HP/252...

Wow, Cartons, these animations are very energetic! Do you mind if I make a request? No, not for a picture or an animation, but for some helpful tips, or perhaps a small tutorial. I, personally, am interested in animating, but I haven't the slightest idea how to go about doing it. What...

It's a thing called i-Doser. It's music meant to help you kick the habit of drugs and stuff by emulating your drug of choise, without the nasty side-effects. After about a week, your addiction is as good as gone, replaced with a much shorter-lived, less harmful addiction.

If you sense that they're going to get hammered again, tell them to not be asses to you because you're sober. Or, you could just video tape them (discretely), and show it to them later. When they take a joke too far, don't laugh, then look them in the eye and say "that's just fucked up" while...

Which is a definite problem for me, because I punch with every inch of my body and every ounce of my will, I'm fairly strong, and I usually fight when I'm angry (which eliminates any bit of restraint you might have). Usually, the other person is looking directly at me, so they usually just end...

What really gets me are chord changes (especially from majors to minors, etc.), catchy melodies, small bits in a song that contrast greately from the rest of the song (a bittersweet moment in an otherwise peppy song, or a sugarcane moment in an otherwise hardcore song), backbeat rhythms when...

There's quite a few things he can do. There just aren't too many categories, ie. "Agressive" and "Non-Agressive." Here he could either: -Blow the fuck up at them, calling them various names, and making himself look like a loud asshole while they cringe in the corner -Explain to them how they...

Oh? I usually hit people on the bridge of the nose or the side of the head. It disorients them for a bit, and if you hit hard enough, they'll fall on the ground and leave you alone. Or, if you're feeling extra barbaric, headbutt him in the bridge of the nose. The solar plexis may stun them for a...
