Team 4
I like comments like these because they give justification to an extent without going overboard. If you're gonna vote feel free to state why within reason obviously. No need to nitpick every single detail but it's good to give perspective.Both Mew and Gliscor can stomach stuff from Torn-T pretty well. I mean yeah I guess it can U-turn on everything but that's not exactly a new thing. Serp gets a kill but it doesn't sweep because just attack when it sets up and revenge with ScarfTar. IMO this team just has the most ways (of all the teams here) to deal with most opposing teams thanks to solid defensive synergy vs offense and dual stallbreakers for opposing balance teams. Granted Ferrothorn is key to prevent a bunch of things from sweeping but that tends to be the case on a lot of teams that pack it anyway.
My issue with Team 3 was that it lacks a real Talonflame check (Tran is kinda worthless against Taunt SpDef if it's lacking Stone Edge) or a "true" answer to Bisharp if things get dicey - though at least his Mew can outspeed it unlike all these other Mews ._.
Granted Team 3 was my second pick - Team 1 is kind of swept by Bisharp, Team 2 relies on Scarf Exca as its Talon check, and Team 5 has problems with water types like Keldeo and Manaphy (Modest Zard Y). Just to be clear I'm not trying to insult anyone's builds. Every team is going to have weaknesses so this isn't an indictment of them saying "oh this team is ass" it's just brief reasoning as to why I chose one team over the others. I just think it's okay to actually have a discussion about why we picked what instead of everyone just posting "I vote this"
when you submit a team and if you still follow the formatting you have until I post it for voting to change whatever in your original pm to me through the edit function. Just a heads up for the sake of clarity.Now that the second round has started, I can now post this.
As the creator of Team 1, I wish I had replaced Knock Off on Beedrill with Drill Run, as I was very weak to both Bisharp and ZardX. But, I had already sent it, so I had to deal with Knock Off. Still happy with the amount of votes I got tho n_n
Deadline is on Thursday nights my time zone (GMT-5, est). Thursday - Tuesday: building, Tuesday - Thursday: Voting rinse and repeat.Goddam AM i thought i missed the deadline again >_>
Also i have something ready but i might want to swap out my last team member entirely since i haven't gotten many opportunities to test (i can only play and type my submission from phone) but i really want to finish my draft and send it in for now. Forgive me if this is already addressed in the rules, i really just dont want to miss the deadline again.
