  1. Anti-Lead Discussion: Viable or Unreliable?

    For the above set I believe Lava Plume can be run over Flamethrower as the burn rate will assist in OHKOing quite a few sash users. Other then that it is a nice set, matches up well against most common leads.
  2. The Cricket Thread Part Deux

    It all goes around. It's just when your team bats so well you expect victory, knowing that england didn't bat well in this match is frightening. The Australians won't be able to reproduce that innings in the next match IMO. However a few of the english batsmen that got starts could go on to some...

    Yet still achieved a draw. Honestly I really am quite angry. Broad was absolutely plum in front on the first ball of his innings, that really was a terrible decision. Once Johnson gets on a role he is almost impossible to bat against. Ask South Africa. England were poor and didn't deserve a...

    Don't say shit about Hussey! haha. Yeah he made a hundred in the Lions test and is as or a more capable batsmen then any on tour. It's one innings. Though everyone contributed nicely. If anything was disappointing it was that Hughes couldn't convert when he was hitting the ball nicely. They say...

    That plan didn't work out. Great batting by Australia. A firm hold on the match now. Up to the bowlers to earn their spots with a good show of bowling here. Quick wickets really are needed.

    Cook really has let England down, He started his career with such promise. He's still young and hopefully will learn. I am talking in a long term sense and not just this innings btw. Hilfenhaus will have a good time with the Duke it seems. He moves the ball better then any other bowler in the...

    They are both excellent pokemon capable of hitting very hard. While more dedicated Special walls will switch into Lati than Salamence it still has a lot going for it, particularly trick and Thunderbolt, as well as a higher base speed. SR weakness is very detrimental to any choice user. It is...

    Serena is just better. She has won 11 grand slams and will certainly be considered one of the greatest women players in the world. Her ability to perform in Finals is rather incredible. What you said about Venus playing remorsefully is of the utmost stupidity.
  9. New OU List (July 2009)

    Umbreon really shouldn't be getting so much usage. It is very underwhelming. Often shut down by Taunt and set up fodder for Steel types that run our metagame. I suspect it won't remain OU for very long. No one wants a defensive wall that can't take on Infernape, Lucario, Scizor, Machamp...

    Thanks for the stats. MixMence has certainly been seen more by me. What I am most surprised with is Swampert not being closer to Azelf and Metagross as far as leads usage is concerned. Even being overtaken by Jirachi, While I expect slight variation in usage every month from here it seems like...

    1 Ace away from the Wimbledon record. Served so well. I feel the sun disadvantaged Federer aswell. A ball going at 230 k/ph then disappearing into the shadow can't be easy to handle. He never really triumphed over the Roddick serve, he pressured Roddick with his own serve but it was Roddick who...

    Federer still seems complacent to me. 3:10 am here in Australia You feel at the moment Federer is serving far too well to lose. A slip up from Roddick has been expected but just is not happening. Roddick keeps serving himself out of trouble. A great game no matter what the result EDIT- Fuck...

    You have to be happy for Roddick. Though, I hope this doesn't get sigged if I'm proven wrong. Roddick just can't beat Federer. It looks like childsplay for Federer every time they come up against one another. Still great for Roddick. Good to see a player stay so close to the top for so long.

    I can only imagine they are 252 Def/252 Sp.Def. Which is of course backing up the claim it is incredibly stupid. I guess people see 405/405 Max stats and can't help themselves

    Hmm. Federer has in the past been pushed very far by Haas. The 07' Australian open, the 09' French open. Haas has even had match points up against Federer. So I think we can expect a great match. Federer always pulls through though. Roddick is a very good player. A very capable player, I don't...

    I'm glad you agree with me on the test v short form arguments. It is an interesting thought and I understand some people believe that ODIs have become somewhat obsolete. I find it interesting that the average ODI score has decreased in spite of the introduction of T20. I mean any cricketer...
  17. Most Important Generation Competitively

    DPPt is obviously the most important. The introduction of Wi-Fi battling has shown that there is now a heavier focus on competitive battling. Introduction of Choice Items and more importantly the Life Orb have opened up new opportunities in competitive play. Life Orb has increased the...

    I didn't realise 14% of Dusknoir uses are gimmick sets.

    I'm glad that the 20/20 Tournament is over. T20 Cricket for me is a side of the game I detest. Test cricket really embraces every beautiful aspect of the game that purists like myself enjoy watching and playing. There is talk, purely revenue driven, that this is the future of the game. Nothing...
