(Completed) The Dr. Pepper Grudge Match: Orcinus Duo vs. Son_of_Shadoo! (2 vs 2 Doubles)

[Dummy007]

Are you serious? These guys are fighting over Dr. Pepper? My goodness, what has ASB come to if we have to hold matches over soda preferences...Eh, at least I get UC.

As a crowd gathers around the TV to watch a particularly exciting round of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wario delivers a message to the soon-to-be-disappointed gamers:

"WARIO WARIO WAHAHAHARIO WARIO WARIO WAHAHAHA!"

(This roughly translates as "Too bad I rented out the stadium to some punks arguing over a beverage!")

As the crowd gets up and starts to leave, they realize exactly what's happening on-screen- the only thing more attracting to nerds than Super Smash Bros. (except WoW, LoL, D&D, Skyrim, Minecraft, Warlight, etc.): Pokemon! Two trainers, the inexplicable Son_of_Shadoo and the inscrutable Orcinus Duo, have gathered on Wario's arena to engage in combat over possibly the most trivial matter in existence: the quality level of Dr. Pepper. They seem very hyped about it, unlike everyone else, but, since the only other option is to interact socially with someone who can't speak Klingon fluently, everyone else has decided to look interested anyway.

Here's a description of the WarioWare arena, for those of you who may not have heard of it:

WarioWare, Inc.

---

An artificial environment with no external water source or natural grass. Digging and seismic moves are allowed. Weather is allowed.

At the beginning of each round, the ref will give a task to the participating pokemon to perform during the round. It can be anything as long as all active pokemon can feasibly accomplish it (eg, use non-STAB moves only). Any pokemon that fail to complete the task take damage equal to 1/4 of their max HP.

Even Wario needs rules sometimes, so here are the agreed-upon conditions of the match.

FE, 2v2 Doubles (bring 3 mons each)
Items On
Switch=wtfko?
2 subs
2 recovers, 5 chills.
2 day DQ
All abilities.

And, of course, what's a Pokemon battle without Pokemon? Just a battle, that's what!

Orcinus Duo's Destroyers: Buffy and Mind (bring 3? I THINK NOT)

---

Buffy (Pinsir) (M)

Summary: Bug STAB; more mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gains an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves.

Hyper Cutter:
Type: Innate
This Pokemon always keeps its claws/teeth/pincers extremely sharp, and thus cannot have its attack reduced.

Mold Breaker:
Type: Innate
Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Moxie (DW):
Type: Innate
This Pokemon gets psyched after it earns a KO on an opposing Pokemon, increasing its attack by one (1) stage. This boost is maintained at the end of each round.

Mind (Mr. Mime) (F)
Nature: Timid
Type: Psychic
Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks.

Abilities:
Soundproof:Type: Innate
Pokemon with this ability emit their own powerful electrostatic or sound-dampening field, making them immune to sound-based moves other than an ally's or their own Heal Bell. (Known sound moves: Bug Buzz, Chatter, Echoed Voice, Grasswhistle, Growl, Heal Bell, Hyper Voice, Metal Sound, Perish Song, Relic Song, Roar, Round, Screech, Sing, Snarl, Snore, Supersonic, Uproar.
Filter:Type: Innate
This Pokemon has a special energy barrier that reduces the Base Attack Power of any opponent’s super-effective attack by two (2).
Technician (DW):Type: Innate
This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally have 6 or less Base Attack Power to have their Base Attack Power multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) Base Attack Power, and the Energy Cost for multi-hit attacks is increased by two (2). Because Technician is a multiplier on single hit moves, its effect is applied to Base Attack Power before any additive effects.

Flow of the Match:
Dummy007 sends out Orcinus Duo's Pokemon and provides the Task of the Round.
Son_of_Shadoo sends out his two Pokemon and attempts to complete the TotR.
Orcinus Duo also tries to complete the TotR.
Dummy007 laughs in both their faces, posts something that vaguely resembles a reffing and includes the next TotR, and goes on an unannounced three-week hiatus.
In the meantime, Orcinus Duo tries to complete the next TotR.
Son_of_Shadoo does likewise.
Dummy007 returns from his hiatus to find that no one is willing to ref, reluctantly posts another half-hearted reffing, and goes on a four-week hiatus to see if he can get rid of these guys. He doesn't. :/
etc.

I will post the first round's TotR once SoS has picked his Pokemon.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I'mma fuck this shit up. Mia, Hijinks, it's up to you!

[Orcinus Duo]

HERP DERP

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Dummy needs to give us the task first, Orcinus, don't go jumping the gun.

But what can I expect from someone who dislikes the Pepper...

[Dummy007]

Here with your first task is special guest Captain Falcon, and he looks very happy to be here.


"Show me your moves! Use 3 different moves this round!"

All right, SoS, you're free to order!

[Son_of_Shadoo]

To clarify: Three different moves for each mon, or three different moves as a whole?

[Dummy007]

Per mon.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Thank you. Sorry for the hold up. Good Lord, that Mr. Mime's got a buttload of moves. SoS no like.

Mia: Will-o-Wisp Pinsir >>> Shadow Punch Mr. Mime >>> Shadow Ball Mr. Mime
If Pinsir uses Protect A1, swap A1 and A2.

Hijinks: Scald Pinsir >>> Signal Beam Mr. Mime >>> Ice Beam Pinsir
If Mr. Mime uses Taunt on Mia, Protect her.

[Orcinus Duo]

Wait, hyper cutter protects against burn attack drop right

[B]Mind: Light Screen, Protect, Thunder Wave Krillowatt
Buffy: Stone Edge Krillowatt, Super Earthquake Combo, Cooldown (X-Scissor Krillowatt)[/B


wooooooo mold breaker


Wait Dummy, question--buffy's actions wouldn't enact a penalty right

Also, would flinching/hitting yourself in confusion/sleeping count as "moves"?

[Dummy007]

Yes, they would, as Buffy is only using two attacks.

[Orcinus Duo]

Sorry, edited after you replied, but

Also, would flinching/hitting yourself in confusion/sleeping count as "moves"?

[Dummy007]

No, they would not.

[Orcinus Duo]

Ok.

so, Mind, we're going to make our opponent fail the challenge. How? Well...
Mind: Fake Out (Krillowatt)-Protect-Hypnosis Dusknoir
Buffy: Stone Edge Krillowatt-Earthquake-Brick Break Krillowatt

Krillowatt should flinch on A1 so that will be a fail, and dusknoir (with the blessing of a 92% hypnosis) should also fail to use three actions.

<3 challenges

EDIT: whoops, thought hypnosis was 70%. So thats 60+10+12=82 then. :S

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I dunno where the hell you're getting 92% from, as Hypnosis has 60 accuracy, and Mr. Mime's boost is 12...

Round 1 Begin!

I'll keep this brief, since Captain Falcon wants to start Falcon PAWNCH!!!!!ing people as fast as possible. The first action works pretty much as Orcinus planned, with Hijinks flinching and taking some minor damage, although Mia's Will-O-Wisp connects and burns Buffy...and no, Hyper Cutter does not ignore burn. :/

Mind Protects herself from everything that happens on Action 2, which is good because every attack hit her. Hijinks's Signal Beam wouldn't have done much, and neither would Buffy's Earthquake, which also deals so decent damage to Hijinks and Mia; but it's Mia's Shadow Punch which consumes the majority of Mind's energy this action.

Buffy takes some mild damage from an Ice Beam before retaliating with a Brick Break; the exchange is only punctuated by a Hypnosis from Mind, which leaves Mia unable to do anything this action.

Now comes the moment of truth: Who passed the TotR?

Hijinks- Different moves used: 2/3 [FAILURE]
Mind- Different moves used: 3/3 [SUCCESS]
Buffy- Different moves used: 3/3 [SUCCESS]
Mia- Different moves used: 2/3 [FAILURE]

As a result, the following occurs:



Hijinks takes 31 damage and Mia takes 23 damage! Things are looking very bad for SoS right now...can he turn it around next round? Stay tuned to find out!

Round 2 Begin!

I'M BAAAA-AAAACK! And this time, I'm packing flavor!

Hijinks and Mind start off the round by completing Ganondorf's first requirement and spamming Dark moves. Hijinks Torments Buffy, while Mind Taunts Mia...although neither really does anything yet. Buffy jumps into the shadows and leaps out to Faint Attack Mia, at which point Mia wakes up and does more damage than everyone else combined so far by simply punching Mind in the face. Whoo.

Speaking of punching, Mia does it again next action, nailing Buffy for some slight damage before anyone else can move. Hijinks blasts Mind in the face with a Hydro Pump, leaving her reeling, but she still manages to pull off a Reflect that should help with the survival of her and Buffy later. Speaking of Buffy, he kind of sits there this action being Tormented. Maybe that Reflect isn't very useful after all...

Hijinks shoots a Signal Beam at Mind this action, but Mind is able to Filter out some of the damage, meaning the attack does almost nothing. Mind responds with a slightly more potent Psychic, which brings Hijinks to a dangerously low health level. Buffy, so far the only Pokemon to not complete Ganondorf's second requirement yet, finally completes it this action by denting Hijinks with an X-Scissor. Mia finishes the round with a Shadow Punch that cuts Mind's HP to less than half.

Now for the real question: Who completed the TotR?

Hijinks- Dark moves used: 1/1, STAB moves used: 1/1 [SUCCESS]
Mind- Dark moves used: 1/1, STAB moves used: 1/1 [SUCCESS]
Buffy- Dark moves used: 1/1, STAB moves used: 1/1 [SUCCESS]
Mia- Dark moves used: 1/1, STAB moves used: 2/1 [SUCCESS]

At this point, Ganondorf returns. "Now, you will all face my...oh, you all passed? Back to hunting for Link, then." As Ganondorf leaves, you all anxiously eye your Pokemon and wonder what surprises the next character has in store...

SoS, make your moves!

[Son_of_Shadoo]

I have the horrible feeling that at this point, we can't win.

Hijinks: Hydro Pump Mr. Mime >>> Hydro Pump Mr. Mime >>> Hydro Pump Mr. Mime
If Mr. Mime faints, switch to Pinsir.
If Mr. Mime Protects itself OR uses Teleport, switch to Pinsir.
Note that this isn't three subs, as one is a KO sub. I may be wrong.

Mia: Brick Break Pinsir >>> Shadow Punch+Shadow Punch combo Mr. Mime >>> Cooldown (Shadow Punch Mr. Mime)
If Mr. Mime Protects itself or uses Teleport A2, use Rock Slide A2 and the combo A3.

[Orcinus Duo]

Is filter being factored into calcs?

[Dummy007]

As far as I can see, it is.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

If it hasn't been, that Signal Beam damage was just plain SAD. And it's mentioned in the flavour, so I assume so.

[Orcinus Duo]

Mind: Shadow Ball Dusknoir-Encore Dusknoir-Magical Leaf Combo Krillowatt
Buffy: Bide-Hold-Release
So encoring dusknoir into brick break should make it spend 18 energy (6*3), which leaves it with 60 energy. Ahahahaha.
Magical Leafx2 KO's krillowatt, at 15.75 dmg per attack wooo technician. Hydro Pump x3, 13.5*3=40.5 falls just short of getting rid of mind before A3. Of course, mind falls to that damned penalty later, but no matter.

Dusknoir's brick breaks deal 9.5 (8+1.5) damage. So, first two deal 19 damage, x1.75 gives us a respectable 33.25 damage. This, plus shadow ball, plus penalty, should KO it.

I think gg?

Fuck challenges.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Well, shit.

Round 3 Begin!

The round opens with Buffy...just kind of sitting there. Very dramatic. Hijinks, quite frankly, doesn't give a crap, so she just blasts Mind with a Hydro Pump instead of worrying about Buffy. Mind looks ticked off about this, but she opts to Shadow Ball Mia instead of doing anything to Hijinks (dang Trainer's orders). It seems her rage was well-used, though, as this Shadow Ball scored a critical hit! Mia then smashes through Reflect with a Brick Break that leaves a tiny dent in Buffy.

While Buffy continues to loaf around, Hijinks successfully nukes Mind with another Hydro Pump. Mind then begins to clap for some unknown reason, but Mia obviously thinks it must be for her, as she then uses another Brick Break on Buffy instead of beating the snot out Mind like she was ordered to.

At this point, Buffy stands up and unleashes a decent-sized burst of energy that hits Mia right where it hurts- although, to be honest, it doesn't do all that much damage. (@Orcinus: When you did your calcs here, you forgot to take into account that Bug resists Fighting.) Hijinks, whose energy is pretty much beyond repair at this point, tries to hit Mind with another Hydro Pump, but the attack breaks wide left. Mia wraps up her Encored attacks with another Brick Break on Buffy, leaving Mind able to nail Hijinks with a MYSTIC LEAF BARRAGE! The sheer force of a bunch of leaves leaves Hijinks incredibly low on health, but it knocks out Mind due to its ridiculous energy consumption! (@Orcinus again: A combination is treated as a single attack, so Technician doesn't apply here.)

Now, the question whose answer we've all been waiting for: Who actually bothered to do the TotR?

Hijinks- 64 - 33 = 31 energy [FAILURE]
Mind- 44 - 48 = -4 energy [FAILURE]
Buffy- 67 - 17 = 50 energy [SUCCESS]
Mia- 78 - 18 = 60 energy [FAILURE]

Samus scans the area again. "One Pokemon has fulfilled the requirements." She moves Buffy of to one side. "The rest of you are a threat." She charges and aims before the following occurs (pretty much):




Hijinks takes 31 damage and Mia takes 23 damage! (Technically, Mind also took 23 damage, but she fainted already.) They both faint, collapsing into tired heaps as Samus walks quickly out of the room. Only one Pokemon is left standing on the war-torn battlefield: Buffy! This means that Orcinus Duo wins! The two participants shake hands as the spectators leave. But what does this mean about Dr. Pepper? Based on the battle outcome and the poll results, Dr. Pepper isn't that great! Now I'm going to run before SoS stabs me in the heart...

Good game! Orcinus's calcs were a little off in the last round, but they didn't matter (Buffy had enough health left to take the end-of-round punishment). The crit didn't matter, either, as Mia would have had -1 HP without it. Well played, both of you, whatever your choice of soda may be!
