    Attention: New deadline will be Friday, July 12th at 12:00 PM GMT -5.
  2. Trailmixing (Peaked #1 with win/loss ratio at 27:1)

    I think you understand me. Let's see if I understand you. Is the crux of what you're saying that no one playstyle is better than another? If so, allow me to prove you wrong. Consider a set of n strategies [s_1, s_2, ..., s_n]. A strategy represents the set of actions a player takes in each...
  3. UU Mini Tournament #7: The Eightfold Path [Round 3]

    The deadline has passed. I marked activity wins and coinflip wins in italics next to the matchups. If you believe you have been wrongly coinflipped or activity won, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me about it. Here are the Round 2 results: 19. Somalia vs. 27...
  4. OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    I almost made a large post about this but then realized it might work here. Is there a standard metagame people refer to or are supposed to refer to in the OU forum (and other forums, I suppose)? Obviously it's the OU metagame, but which one? The tournament metagame? The ladder metagame? An...
  5. UU Stats: May 2013

    I'd say Krookodile is more effective than Heracross as a late-game cleaner, actually. Dark has really good neutral coverage, especially in UU, really helping Scarf Krookodile get a clean sweep. My UU teams always seem to be weak to offensive Dark-types like Krookodile, Weavile and Honchkrow. I...

    I scream, you scream, we all scream for Icecream. EDIT: kokoloko's set is already in the analysis fwiw
  7. Trailmixing (Peaked #1 with win/loss ratio at 27:1)

    What I'm saying here is that if your battling strategy say "involves a lot of switching" as Moose's does, and you concede that others may do better with a team because they play different, then you're doing it wrong. You should adapt your battling style so that you can play a variety of styles...
  8. Trailmixing (Peaked #1 with win/loss ratio at 27:1)

    First of all people talk about "playing styles" and it's just the wrong way of approaching things. Everyone should try to play the optimal style (which exists). I get annoyed every time I see people making comments about what best fits their style of play. Hitmontop isn't out of the question...
  9. Phione (BW2 Update)

    old new why [Overview] <p>While Phione was once a threatening Rain Dance sweeper with Rain Dance in DPP, it now has rarely any use in the NU tier. (If you intend to say that it is almost completely useless, change to "has barely any use". If you intend to say that almost no one uses it...
  10. Trailmixing (Peaked #1 with win/loss ratio at 27:1)

    Hitmontop is horrible and this team doesn't need Rapid Spin. You have one Stealth Rock weak Pokemon and it has Roost. Your Pokemon handle Spikes better than most (esp. Zapdos isn't affected, Sharpedo doesn't care, Slowbro has Regenerator), and Rhyperior can usually stop Froslass from getting two...
  11. The Next Best Thing...

    I think HP Ice would be better on this set. Gligar and Band Flygon are both immune to Spikes, meaning Roar doesn't really help against them. HP Ice sure does though.
  12. The UU Role Comparison Project

    Some things to change Shiruba: -- Togekiss doesn't need to invest in offense to gain attacking prowess either, already hitting pretty well with Air Slash. The fact that it regularly carries Nasty Plot means that it is far more offensive than Umbreon and doesn't even need EVs to be an absolute...

    Hey Somalia, you're playing Pwnemon for the UU Mini-Tournament now. Try to get it done by the deadline, but if you can't, you may have an extension, as my error has given you and Pwnemon far less time to complete the match than others.

    Hey tato, I gave you a coinflip win for the UU Mini-Tournament but it appears your opponent sent you a PM, and has activity over you. If you sent him a PM back and he omitted it, please send me a screenshot of the PM you sent, the next time you are active. If you don't, you'll be substituted by...
  16. np: UU Stage 12 - A Beautiful Lie

    Yeah kokoloko, your point is well made. Ghost-typing really saves you team slots, especially since Cofagrigus is really a mediocre Pokemon outside of its spinblocking (though Metal Sonic seems to disagree). I wasn't saying that bulky Froslass is less effective as you alleged, just that it...

    Hey, I'd like to respond to your complaint on the tournament in two parts. First, you said you "can't understand" why Tato Chingamadre got the activity win, but it should be easy to understand -- there's no way I can check that you sent a PM and that your opponent didn't respond. Second of all...
  18. np: UU Stage 12 - A Beautiful Lie

    If you believe the precedent set by the Chandelure suspect test is a good one, you should want to suspect Victini. This Pokemon truly has no 100% counter, and unlike Chandelure runs much less dubious methods (e.g. doesn't have to resort to Will-o-Wisp to beat Snorlax) to get past its counters...
  19. UU Stats: May 2013

    Yeah, Ambipom is a shitty lead, but honestly you shouldn't be leading with it because of what you just said. That's not an argument for not using Ambipom. Who cares if it's "supposed to be a good lead"? It's not, people are just wrong, but it does do things well. Ambipom actually does pretty...
  20. The UU Role Comparison Project

    Choice Band Dragons: vs. Why use Druddigon? Much better attack stat Priority in Sucker Punch Mold Breaker to beat Levitate Pokemon (especially Bronzong) with Earthquake and do other cool things like bypass Solid Rock Bulkier, especially since CB Druddigon invests in bulk and Flygon doesn't...
