Speaking of spoilers

Didn't the livestream also show a robot swordsman? Which was Cobalion if I remember the swordsmen right
 
:sv/clefable:

[Verse 1: Dr. Finch]
You have heard me tell this story
Many times before you sleep
This time, listen carefully
And I will tell you once again
But this time understand that what I'm telling you
Every single word is true

[Hook 1]
You need to know

[Verse 2]
There was another who came before you
He was a hero, and your brother and my son
He fought the darkness, the darkness won
And he fought bravely, and he died briefly
But he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save
And when he died he died in vain

[Hook 2]
You need to know
You are not him

[Verse 3]
A time is coming, and I must warn you
Though it's something that you may not understand
They can't be saved by just one man
And I am sorry, because I was wrong
And I'd take away the weight his shoulders had to bear
Because when he fell I was the only one that cared

[Hook 3]
You need to know
You are not him
His fight's not yours

[Lyric Note 1]
Clefable broke away from his father's hold, ran to the window and looked out over the city. His eyes filled with tears. His heart hurt under the weight of what he'd just been told. How could his father do nothing? How could Dr. Finch not avenge the death of Stall?

[Verse 4]
That story's finished. That story's ended
Understand there's nothing more that we can do
And I will not risk losing you
For if you leave now, you will be fighting
For a people that refuse to comprehend
They have chosen their own end
So you will stay here. You will obey me
And I will keep grieving for the son I sent to death
YOU ARE ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT!

[Hook 4]
You need to know
You are not him
This fight's not yours

[Lyric Note 2]
Clefable tore past Dr. Finch. He threw the doors open at the end of the hallway and disappeared into the stairway. Finch called after him:

[Outro]
You cannot win!
 
I'm a player who consistently makes it to 1900+ top and is one of the top 100 players, but can never get reqs.

I usually restart if lose more than 5ish games in under 20 wins, so that I can fulfill the GXE requirements which is the only part of getting reqs that I struggle with. Would the council or the player base be open to change voting reqs to based upon a certain ELO for players like me who clearly are competent and knowledgable on the meta, but just struggle getting reqs?
 
Since we have a better idea on who’s coming back to SV for DLC, I just wanna do a bit of theorycrafting for what’s to come for Teal Mask.

Ms. OU has returned. We all know what it does. Magic Guard, Rocks, Calm Mind, T-Wave, and being an annoying li’l shit. We’ve needed a Magic Guard mon for so long due to the prospect of Spikes and Garg. Having a fat defensive Fairy with reliable recovery was also much needed cause Bax is kinda broken ngl. Recovery move nerfs are a bummer and there is the likelihood of losing Soft-Boiled, nonetheless I’m excited to see Clef back in the meta.

Hail + Veil + Ice Body Bax = Fucking Run

Switches into Gambit’s STABs and gets the illusive Encore. Might have a tiny niche on rain if Gambit stays but idk bout it.

GF please give Lax Slack Off so it can actually check ghosts.

Beta Bascu just dropped. It gets Knock via level up and has priority Aqua Jet. Can’t switch into shit and has competition with H-Samu, but I can prob see this thing on rain alongside Bascu and friends. Also the possibility of an evo.

IMG_5751.png
GLISCOR IS BACK LETS FUCKING GO! This and another mon which I will get to soon is exactly what OU needs rn. Spikes immune that absorbs Knock, gets Knock itself, Rocks + U-Turn, checks Valiant, absorbs status, 1v1s Garg cause of Poison Heal, SD sets with Tera are gonna go crazy. It might lose Roost but no shame in running Protect with Poison Heal recovery to circumvent that. If Gliscor keeps Spikes like in PLA, it will send Ting-Lu directly to the trenches, if it keeps Defog, then we have a Defogger that can 1v1 Ghold and not be shit at everything else.

I love Mamo so much, but it got power crept so hard this gen. I’m not sure how its gonna compete with Bax who is Mamo but jacked up by 150%. (Game Freak give it Slush Rush you cowards).

The savior of SV OU that we didn’t know we needed. Learns Knock, Toxic, and Defog from its learnset so its p much locked we’re getting another Defogger. Not only do we have more hazard removal with great utility, but its hazard removal that also beats Ghold. You listening Ant4456? Your prayers have been answered.

Not alot of meta defining mons coming to SV so far (besides Clef, Mandi, Alolatales, and Glis) but the ones we got will provide more teambuilding flexibility which is heavily needed atm, specially Mandi who performs the role of hazard removal, specially in the hazard removal department.
