    Path of Exile?

    Basically this game is a free-to-play Diablo analogue. It's supposed to be pretty fun, but when I played it, it felt like a glorified piñata simulator. Anyone know more about it, or have advice for noobs?

    How to deal with stuttering/incoherence?

    Yo everyone, I've noticed that sometimes when I talk to people, specifically when I open conversations, I have some issues with saying what I want to say. It's as if my mouth doesn't want to work for some reason. As the conversation progresses, the issue goes away, but I don't know why it...

    Opportunity Cost and Ubers Teambuilding

    Was talking to Theorymon about this earlier, figured I might as well post about it. I dunno how many of you remember early DP OU, but there was a pokemon called Garchomp, and a pokemon called Swampert. Garchomp was actually defensively stronger than Swampert, and had superior speed as well...

    Making Ubers Offensive Teams

    For the purposes of this thread, "Offense" is defined as any team that isn't a Stall Team or a Screen Pass team (though the latter don't exist anymore now that everyone has Dragon Tail). Making a stall team is pretty formulaic, and hasn't changed much since Gen IV except you see less Blisseys...

    mtr's Ubers Sand Team

    A lot of the Sand Teams that have been posted recently are offensive ones, so I wanted to post a balanced or stallish team to give you guys something new to look at hehe. Also I wanted to get people's advice on specific movesets to make my team as good as possible. After 2 days of grinding...

    Societal Double Standards on Rape?

    This might seem lol, but I had to share it. It's worth noting that approximately 10% of rape victims are men. Yet for whatever reason, such incidents are often disregarded. When a guy gets raped, you hear statements like "lol he became a prison bitch". But no one ever jokes about a female...

    Dragon Arceus (Placeholder)

    Crap I changed my mind from Water Arceus. Last time I promise! I'll write the Dragon-type.

    Giratina

    One of my favorite Ubermons, I've had lots of success with him on Gen IV Quickstall Teams. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/487.shtml -------------------------- [Overview] Even though the arrival of new Dragons in the 5th generation, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem, has served to limit...

    Nattorei (WIP)

    Nattorei -------------------------- [Overview] Nattorei is one of the more interesting Pokemon to come from the 5th generation. Being the only Grass/Steel type in the game, it brings many unique resistances to a team, allowing it to check Pokemon such as Zekrom and Palkia (without Fire Blast)...

    mtr's ParaFusionFlinch Team

    So I made an epic leaderboard run in Ubers that failed to crack the top 5 after I lost to Bad Ass and Shrang. Annoyed, I decided to turn my efforts to OU. I had been away from the tier for a while, and I hadn't been very successful since Latias left the metagame. I didn't want to use a stall...

    Kyogre (Paralyzing Tank)

    I'm not arguing for a separate set for this, but this does deserve a mention in the AC of the Mono-Attacker set at the least, if not a slash. [SET] name: Mono-Attacker move 1: Surf move 2: Calm Mind / Thunder Wave move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers nature: Modest evs: 240 HP / 244...

    mtr's Offensive Ubers Team

    Because playing nothing but stall gets boring after a while. Inspired by Shrang's Ubers Manaphy team, I decided to make my own team on similar principles. It's a fairly decent team that can cover most threats, but my team has a bit of trouble with Scizor, Dialga, and Garchomp, so any help there...

    The Smogon Chess Discussion Thread

    @Mods: not sure if this went in the sports arena, because chess isn't exactly a sport, but whatever. Anyways, I'm sure we have some chess players here. So why not discuss what we think about the game? Which openings you prefer, tips for midgame and endgame, why you like or don't like chess...

    The Payoff Matrix: Useless Theorymon, or a Valid Approach to Prediction?

    Lol, first time I've posted in Stark Mountain in a while. Anyways, I've been thinking about prediction, and I was wondering what you guys thought of taking a "payoff matrix"-oriented approach to prediction, rather than predicting aggressively or conservatively. In this path, you would assign...

    mtr's Team from the Tutoring Program

    K, so this was the team I made, along with help from LonelyNess (the best tutor alive), as part of our tutoring program. It's a pretty typical UU team, but I have trouble with Grass-types such as Venusaur, Torterra, Leafeon, etc, so I thought that I would post this to get advice. As usual, all...

    "Easy to Play" and "Hard to Use" Movesets

    I recently read a rate in an RMT forum by Deep Thought that stated that the team he was rating (shrang's team) resembled his archived team, but was easier to use. Deep Thought's team used several interesting movesets, such as CB Rayquaza (for you non-Ubers players, CBQuaza works a lot like...

    Banette (Ubers analysis)

    Status: Done: Awaiting Mod Review http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/banette [OVERVIEW] <p>If you are building a Trick Room team, Banette is certainly worth looking at for the role of a lead. Whereas it lacks the bulk of traditional Trick Room leads such as Dialga and Bronzong, Banette makes up...

    [Ubers] SubSalac Chomp Team

    A Sand Team: All right: I need a bit of help. In Ubers, I'm only really good at designing orthodox offensive teams and stall teams, and unfortunately, my latest team is not quite any of those. It is a little wonky right now, although it works. The idea here is to overcome Groudon and/or Lugia...

    Spiritomb (OU Analysis)

    Status: WIP The experience I have with Spiritomb in the current metagame comes from using it on old-style stall teams that I play for fun, competitively, of course. I originally intended on only using two sets, but after talking to people on #stark I felt that the inclusion of the old...

    The Wicked Witch of the Sun: A Shiftry Discussion Thread

    Introduction Is it freaky? Yes. Will it make your team crap itself? Erm, probably not. But believe me, once you use a Shiftry (well) or play against an adroit player using one, you'll be pleasantly surprised. If using Shiftry, you are required to use Groudon, because the Sun is necessary...
