Could we get Tera Preview going into DLC 1 please Mr Finchinator
Unlikely, would have to be the verdict of a Tera suspect, which is not currently plannedCould we get Tera Preview going into DLC 1 please Mr Finchinator
dropping palafin, though, that just needs a surveyUnlikely, would have to be the verdict of a Tera suspect, which is not currently planned
Can you stop being annoying loldropping palafin, though, that just needs a survey
if i were capable of that, i'd have actual friends instead of hanging out here all day being a nuisance. i've driven away everyone in my life. believe it or not, i'm as sick of me as you are, but at least you're blessed with the ability to ignore me. i can't escape myselfCan you stop being annoying lol
Can’t really comment on whatever may be going on in life, but we are all friends and friendly on here. To the people you agree with to the people you disagree with, Smogon has been one large group of likeminded, oft-friendly folk. We got you and know how much value you have based on the many insights you share!if i were capable of that, i'd have actual friends instead of hanging out here all day being a nuisance. i've driven away everyone in my life. believe it or not, i'm as sick of me as you are

I’m sorry you aren’t feeling the best about things and I didn’t mean to call you out. I hope things improve
thanks, and don't worry about it, i have been kind of a shit lately and i deserved a callout. my life has just been way busier than usual over the past couple weeks and i guess the stress is leaking out here. i've also kind of given up on pre-dlc ou after the gambit suspect so i've run out of productive things to add to the conversation. things should get better once we have a meta that isn't so… temporaryI’m sorry you aren’t feeling the best about things and I didn’t mean to call you out.

With Volcarona receiving noteworthy tiering survey support to be dropped to OU with DLC's release, the SV OU council will be voting on it. Nothing else received enough support to be voted on.
Given that not all information is out, some members are awaiting full information to vote and every vote will be reviewed upon the official DLC information coming out. In the meantime, Volcarona's status quo of being an Uber will be maintained, but it is likely we will have a verdict within the first 1-2 days of the DLC metagame.
I'd rather with more quickbans and less surveys with a lower thresholds to ban thingswith a greater community element than ever before, more communication than any prior generation by a long-shot, and an overall increase in transparency.
The problem with QBs is that with this large of a player base you get the “Volcarona Reaction” more times than notI'd rather with more quickbans and less surveys with a lower thresholds to ban thingsView attachment 550934
simple: fuck emThe problem with QBs is that with this large of a player base you get the “Volcarona Reaction” more times than not
even if the council listened to every single result of the surveys and took it as suspect tests, it'd still never be a democracy, it'd still be a thing where the council is at times inviting us to give our opinion, and then nothing else.They've been pretty good about QBs, the volc one was the only case you could call out as abusive of QBs.
1) It happened around WCOP so the vote was forced for that instead of properly analyzed.
2) 0-9 to 7-2, first vote implied there was no incentive at all for a QB, and again, WCOP happened and out of no where everyone's minds changed just to not see it there.
3) QB is for immediate egregious problems, volc was in the tier for 6 whole fucking months and even though there was request to be 'looked at', it wasn't anywhere near a QB request during that time frame and nothing changed for it besides gaining more checks with home when the vote happened. At least urshifu was something too broken to be let in, but you can't go from 6 months of tolerating something to plucking it out like its personal.
4) its too late to matter now but the fact it got that bad of a reaction and they stuck to their guns on it really soured how much the council listens to community feedback, it was very clearly not the right thing to do and the only damage control was that they said they would suspect it later (never happened and probably never would if it wasn't for DLC drop timing).
Most of the unban votes is just to see a proper suspect test, if it was banned normal you'd have less controversy around it but QBs were used incorrect on it, otherwise it would've been QB'd last december or January.
Quickban recovery moves and Regenerator, all hail our HO overlords.I'd rather with more quickbans and less surveys with a lower thresholds to ban thingsView attachment 550934
it'd still never be a democracy
Great recap.snip
Great questionGreat recap.
One thing I'm wondering though, is there a list of mons that dropped to unranked this VR slate? While I appreciate the new format of updating the VR, making it easier to see the changes, that section from previous slates appears to be missing.
suicide leads are not eating well this gen. with the most used mon in the meta benefiting from having dead teammates and the existence of a new move that revives things, i would've thought froslass stocks would be a lot higherGreat question
Azelf, Froslass, Glastrier, Kleavor, and Uxie all dropped to UR
