Posting to apologize for not being able to battle with peter_pan. Timezone differences and IRL pressure got the better of me.

Didn't mean to hold the tourney up, sorry for any trouble.

[Flub]

Giga punch, are you using the SStorm team that I recommended to you? Don't steal ideas :p

 

[WaterBomb]

Knowing this, I'd think people would be making plenty of counters for it. If I ban every single thing that's remotely effective, the game will be boring. This way people are sporked into being more creative.

 

[goofball]

I won 4-0

The only thing that keeps Sandstream and Spikes from being broken is that typically, you're playing on a Full Advance field.

What you've essentially done is created an environment remarkably similar to GSC, minus all strong direct attacks with the inclusion of stackable Spikes, eternal Sandstream, and no Leftovers or 50% HP recovery moves. You've effectively nerfed Electric types by taking away Thunderbolt (Thunder only gets 50% accuracy in Sand) and Hidden Power, Psychics lose to Tyranitar who's always using Crunch, and Waters never were good at offensive onslaught. No Choice Band and no movepool options for those who usually use it.

That being said, this is a playing field I that I love, or at least love to be critical of.

 

[Mr.E]

Note that I am currently banned thanks to another of chaos' ridiculous anti-Mr.E crusades. Hopefully he will revert back to his sensible self soon and things will go back to normal, but only time will tell.
