NU Warstory: Down to the Wire

Not in all, but in almost everything.
I myself have been running Water Spout, Earthquake, Ice Beam, Selfdestruct. He may have been running the same set.
And yeah, I had the same thought on the shit stories by shit users.
Finally! A NU warstory that doesn't completely fail!
Well done!
I've seen some other NU warstories, but this was the best of the lot. A fast paced offensive battle with a lot of strategy behind it. Those are the warstories I like the best!

Linoone gets both Switcheroo and Trick (Trick by chain-breeding IIRC).
Also the problem with giant wads of text is that we both knew the other would be writing as well, and we didn't want to write an excessive amount, thus boring the reader. But seeing as a few people mentioned this, point taken.
In all fairness, having multiple taunters is pretty good in NU, where there are a wealth of Pokemon who can become potentially overpowering if you give them the chance to set-up. It also really takes stall attempts to pieces.
No, on Shoddy if a sleep move hits a Pokemon immune to it, there is no "the attack missed" message as if the attack hit, yet the Pokemon does not fall asleep. In this case the Hypnosis actually missed Banette.
The moveset was actually Water Spout, Ice Beam, Selfdestruct, and HP Electric. HP Electric is to hit waters such as Mantine, and Gyarados when I use the team in OU. But your point is correct, I overpredicted, and I noted in the battle that I should have used Water Spout. Oh well.
I spoke briefly to DJD about this and he said it wasn't one of Smogon's priorities. However, we have had a significant increase in the number of people coming on the NU Find Tab recently, so in joining our little community you not only get to play a bit in the tier but also make the point to Smogon a little bit more that we would appreciate an NU ladder, as pushed as I'm sure the Smogon time and resources for such a thing are.
Anyway, thank you very much for all the comments, especially from the VGC crew and the current NU crew, Luphrous and I really appreciate it. Hope to see more of you on the Find Tab. Cheers guys!
I think they are being too easy on you. :p
You made quite a few bad predictions, and it really couldn't grasp my attention. A valient effort though; definately better than alot of warstories I've seen.
Something like a props & slops section at the end would have been nice.
A good start.

I'd like to know what you felt was wrong with the warstory, How could he have improved?
Heh this is so much better than my warstory (probably the best NU warstory yet!)
The formatting was clean and the battle was nice and fast paced. As for all the people complaining about the last few turns it's very difficult to find a really good battle in NU due to there not being many people playing it.
Hopefully we'll get a ladder soon!

This was quite entertaining. The commentary from both sides is great to get an idea of what both players are thinking. I also liked how the teams and moves weren't revealed, it made it more exciting and suspenseful.
And NU's lack of Scizor, Salamence etc made it more interesting too.

Good battle guys, and the comments were just fine for me. A good overall read.
This is an amazing warstory. Despite the fact that I've never played NU, the whole game was suspenseful and tricky.
That was a great read. Like the use of the NU trick room team
I hope this reaches the warstory archive. The first NU warstory there. I only play OU and I liked it.
