Warstory: NU vs. OU: Stone Cold

Hey this is lemondrop7 with a new name just so you know. That is why format is same as other stories. Anyway I was playing on one of my favorite servers when the usualsuspect challeneged me. He had OU but unbeknownst to him I was carrying a NU one with me. He severely underestimated my NU team and this is the battle that followed

*I use a tier list that has parasect at NU so whether he is here on smogon or not is irevelant. Me and my opponent use this tier list.

*I will not post the sprites this time since it is too much for this match.

Hey GG US. He may not be the best I have faced but it does show that NU's can stand up to an OU team that isnt dreadful

Props and Slops:

Props:

Butterfree for her sp. walling abilites
Delibird for being a monster
Parasect for setting up
Castform for taking hits like a man

Slops:

Nasty Plotting on Lucario
Hustle costing me the game
Butterfree being paralyzed
Pidgeot being burned costing me the game
usualsuspect not switching at the beginning. It was rather noobish I admit.
him for not packing taunt and underestimating parasect. He was shocked at end of game

I hope you enjoy some NU's getting some action in an OU enviroment
 
Certainly an interesting match. Your opponent wasn't very good, which helped you a lot. This battle actualy shows the main reason NU teams don't work against OU teams, dealing over 50% to Blissey is really difficult with subpar offenses. Still, without the burn you probably would have won, so congrats
 
thanks. I know he wasnt very good but it was a close match and he wasn't a complete noob. he had the right strategies he just wasnt very skilled in using them. oh well its not as bad as when i 6-0ed some noobs uber team with this team. he started moaning and stuff and called plusle a "queer-ass rodent". Of course my plusle than proceeded to shove itself up mewtwos and kyogres ass
 
>_> this is more like a story about a team that makes OK decisions versus a team that makes arrogant and sloppy decisions :\

that being said, if normal special sweepers can't stand up to blissey and even normal OU Physical attackers sometimes can't even manage a 3HKO with leftovers factored then it seems that NU pokemon are pointless >_>
 
lol, i was rooting for your team the whole way. best part was when garchomp was OHKOed by delibird. that was nice.
 
Your opponent was really bad. Instead of switching out sleeping pokemon, he decided to stay in and dragon dance more and more. I mean, why would anyone let anything get 3 SDs in? =x

I do like your team though. Props for that.
 
1 bp is a horrible reason to use aqua tail over waterfall really. Parasect is oddly a good counter to the standard Waterfall/EQ bulkydos with dry skin and a 4x ground resist. XD Too bad taunt owns it. Pretty fun to watch a delibird smash a chomp though.

Lol, the other guy was playing two matches at once... no wonder he used a 40BP move against it's 4X resist...
 
No offense, but your opponent was a pretty poor player. Letting Parasect set up for 3 turns? Leaving Salamence in against Castform when he already knows Castform is faster and (if he has a shred of intelligence in his brain) that's it's going to be using an ice attack? Leaving Garchomp in against something with STAB Ice Shard?

I mean, using NU against OU is good if you can do it effectively, but your near-win was more due to your opponent's incompetence than anything else.

Edit: Aah, my bad on Mence being slower.
 
thought I'd just point out that all those pokemon you used are UU (according to smogon's tiers)
That's because Smogon hasn't defined the difference between UU and NU yet. It's fairly safe to assume that they are NU.

However, I'm posting to say that this was a pretty bad battle.

oh yeah forgot about that

I agree with other people, your opponent wasn't that good at all
 
Delibird was the real star of this match. It would have been more enjoyable if your opponent had played better.
 
Great stuff. I might consider a Delibird now... ...although... ...with that accuracy drop...

Hmmmm. I'm probably not good enough to start trying out fancy stuff like that yet. :P
 
I know it's easy to forget in the heat of the super-effective moment and Hustle still could have ruined it, but two Focus Punch attempts without a sub to pick off a Sasher when you have Ice Shard on the same poke?

Good match, you really deserved to win there.
