    Announcement SM OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Dirt

    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...

    Announcement SM OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Dirt

    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...

    Announcement SM OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Dirt

    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

    Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    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...

    Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    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...

    Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    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...

    Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    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...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Spider Man [Metagrossite remains OU]

    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...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Spider Man [Metagrossite remains OU]

    no, i'm not boiling the anti-ban's argument down to "he has checks/counters therefore he's not broken" i'm just pointing out a discrepancy. somehow it's viewed as valid and okay to criticize the judgment of those who argue that megagross should be banned due to his impact on the metagame, so...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Spider Man [Metagrossite remains OU]

    i never said having no checks/counters does not make a mon broken. every mon in the game has a check or a counter. this is why we look for checks/counters that are viable within the tier wherein it's relevant. having said, that, if a mon did have literally 0 checks/counters, it would be broken...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Spider Man [Metagrossite remains OU]

    i find it a bit strange that players who decide to vote ban for megagross because they view him as a largely negative impact on the oras ou metagame are criticized for voting improperly or something, yet there's an influx of players who say they'll vote no ban because he has checks and counters...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Spider Man [Metagrossite remains OU]

    perhaps you misunderstand. i do not believe that banning megagross will suddenly make more threats appear, like mons from UU and stuff will suddenly become viable (sure there will be certain mons that will be more viable after his absence, if he goes), but by diverse i mean a metagame that...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - Spider Man [Metagrossite remains OU]

    While I see what you're saying, I disagree with the notion that an argument for Megagross's ban due to its impact on the metagame is boiled down to "i don't like that meta, i like this meta" Ultimately, you just admitted that there are no objective standards regarding whether or not a mon is...
