hey dude! you've been assigned to me as my tutor. i'm just reaching out to say hey and make initial contact. i'm excited to learn more. not sure how you'd like to communicate but i'm open to whatever. i should be free basically every day during my availability but let me know how your schedule...

O shit, my b fam. Stay wavy

His argument at its core is that trapping means nothing if Duggy loses the matchup (if it's dependent on set, that's a whole other ballgame), so being reductive is sort of the point. Counting how many threats get trapped on either side is a meaningless statistic and a bad argument to make. Look...

Throughout the course of this suspect test I've played on the suspect ladder consistently on many different alts. I've also read every single post in this thread and came in completely unbiased. From my understanding, suspects are mostly a means of cultivating a metagame which is fun, diverse...

not relevant to the arguments but is this ladder closed at midnight tonight or at some point tomorrow? i believe in the past it tended to be around 10pm the day it closes but i'm not sure on that

assigned to Subject 18 EDIT: for some reason i thought is said max 3 sentences so i lengthened my experience section Username: trillyntruly PO/PS! Username: trillyntruly (plus a bunch of other alts) Your timezone: GMT -5 - EST Usual Hours of Availability: Sat-Sun - Available Mon-Fri -...

As far as I understand, your balloon only breaks if you're behind a sub if the move itself hits behind the sub, like a sound-based move like Hyper Voice. Turn 5, an Iron Head from excadrill broke my sub on Xurkitree and also my air balloon...

ctc show me how my mans 'zor can be useful these days. Mscizor my favorite mega til the end of time

actually this is a really good idea. i mean, on one hand, i should have known hp ground didn't do over 300% to offensive araichu. i wouldn't have calced if there wasn't doubt about it ohkoing. but it's a tool for all players and not everybody will pick up on those things. there's no reason to...

i should have known when it said VGC. i've grown accustomed to all calcs starting mons off at lvl 100, i woulda z-moved into tapu lele to prevent BP then just banked on fire blast hitting. or else just switched out of volc entirely since lele wins that matchup. i wouldn't have choked if i knew...

So I was laddering and I'm pretty sure I lost to a bug. Which is upsetting to say the least. Please excuse me being salty in the chat. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7oususpecttest-533915002 This replay shows it. On turn 25 I attack an Alolan Raichu at full with a +1 252 Volcarona's HP...

Hey Zarel I was wondering if you could reset my PS password? I wasn't signed in and for some reason my pw doesn't seem to work. It's my main account and I've signed in hundreds of times so I know the pw but it won't work. my PS account is identical to my Smogon account: trillyntruly. i've even...

even though we disagree i appreciate your presence in the suspect thread. while i occasionally have posts i'm proud of, when i get caught up in poor arguments i find that the quality of my own posts go down. but you're providing a conversation and topic i enjoy having :]

Like I said, I'm not sure that participation argument is fair, if they don't participate, they don't win, that doesn't change their consistency as a player at all though. Also, yes, this community does probably hold the largest number of some of the best pokemon players in the world, but we're...

Appeal to authority is not a valid argument, you're right. But here's the thing, in a truly competitive game, even one like pokemon where luck is a major factor, when given equal opportunity, the better player will more consistently come out on top. This is why in metas before the current one...
