GO TEXAS GO

[Kaxtar]

GL! I'm using a Life Orb, btw.

[Texas Cloverleaf]

GL Kaxtar

Flamethrower, Air Slash, Heat Wave

If Bide is used, replace current and following actions with 25 HP Sub, Leer, and Smokescreen

[Kaxtar]

Stone Edge~Stone Edge+Stone edge combo

[Texas Cloverleaf]

If this outright kills me I'll be sad :( Also out of curiosity how come Hera has Levitate?

[Kaxtar]

In the anime, it can hover with it's wings. Also, Stone Edge should deal (10+3+4.5)*2.25=39+(10*2.25+3+4.5)*2.25=68. 68+39=107, so if both attacks hit, I win. I have a 64%*80%=51.2% chance of winning. At least we will get our counters quickly.
