I wasn't planning to stall forever. Once Sigilyph is done buffing its defenses, it starts flinging 260 power Stored Powers around.
There's a 9 page thread that's been up for months on general flat battle stuff :3

If you actually begin a battle, yes. But I think it doesn't count you as having a 1500 rating if you haven't battled yet. So if you wanted to get close to the highest "overall ranking," you would just have to battle once in each battle format (singles, doubles, etc.) and then do really well in just one format. Of course, a lot of people will be trying to do well in all five.
You must battle at least 10 full battles (no D/Cs) for it to count on the GBU.
Everyone knows already..
Wow, bunch of whiners. I know for a fact half the people here grossly exaggerated the DC rate. maybe 1/3 of people D/C if they lose. That's at max. Most people just take the loss. Honestly, if your good enough, what does it matter if someone DC's? Everyone is getting DC'd so it's not like anyone is getting more BS'd.
I'll be honest. Eff getting 3 para's in a row and having a nice crit be the cherry on top. Why would I let someone have a win with that BS?

I assume you're a veteran D/C'er?
Also, I would have about 45-50 more wins if people hadn't D/C'ed. I'm trying to get the most wins (out of everyone with an English-game) possible, so those 50 extra wins would put me close to 3 stars (I'm at 129 wins at the moment)
/lol hypocrite
Anyways, I agree with Virizion, and I think you're taking this far too seriously. 1/3 of a D/C rate is about right, yet still way too high. I don't want to have to worry about 1 in every 3 matches ending in a D/C.
And I really don't care for D/Cs, as long as it's not RIGHT at the end of a battle.
I've played my fair share of it. Hypocrite I am lol. Nah, I know what your saying. If no one ever DC'd better. Like right now, I just got DC'd. Granted, it's what I get for using speed boost blaziken ^.^ the rage was on with politoad and kingdra/ludi too lol. I don't expect people to stay in on that. If they do then hey, cool.
people do DC's at the end because they hope for crits and that BS.

Reddogs, my issue isn't that "everyone is getting is DC'd", it's that the entire point of the online mode is undermined by the simple act of shutting off one's DS. You go online and be rage quit against four times in a row (and no, I'm not "grossly exaggerating") and tell me you aren't somewhat irked.
Lately, Japanese players seem to be D/C'ing more than (or at least "as much as") American/etc. players, like when I fought someone named Shadow (50 wins, best American player I've seen so far to be honest) using a Minimize Clefable, they got off a Minimize then I KO'd it and I was almost certain they'd D/C then, but they stayed and actually let me get the win. However, the last 3-4 Japanese players I fought (other than one using an Eeveelution team, which is how I got another loss) all D/C'ed. :L
For me Jap players are the more honorable players. Like one just forfeited instead of rage quiting. I respect that
There are "punishments" for D/Cing and it's simply not being able to find a battle. If a good amount of disconnections occur I'm not able to find a battle and I have to get off wi-fi and then get back on, even if it's not my fault.
has anyone had that?

Or better, like in Megaman Star Force, if you repeatedly DC they will take away your battle cards, initially just warnings but then... yeah. Take away their precious Arceus and all that xD
Nitpicking, but them losing their Arceus wouldn't matter since you cannot use Arceus in Random Matchup anyway.
I ran into this a few times. Granted my record's only 11-8 (one of my losses came in an epic fashion involving a Zebstrika, Me First, and Outrage... let your minds wander), but yeah. I've seen a few who DC right before their last poke faints, or near the start of the match. Also, I"ve had a couple people actually forfeit when they thought they had no shot of coming back, so that's cool too.
I'm still trying to get used to the 3 on 3 thing. :/ I have good synergy with my 6 vs 6 team, but since they felt the need to remove the 'auto to 100' or 'cap at 50' with 6 on 6 matches.. I've had to readjust.
Also, how do you earn stars and all that? I guess based on the percentile you are in? or just amount of wins? and how do you see someone's exact record? I always see their rating and nothing more. D:

In Brawl, the person who id taken control of a CPU has a gray shield
I can deal with a DC,but i hate when its a close match or a comeback,then the other person DC's.It just ruins the entire battle.I had about 7 or so DCs last night,what a mandibuzz-kill.
I'm having the same issue.
This is one of the reasons I play free, people disconnect less there (at least the japanese).
