So GiantWhirlpool and I have had our battles. He won 2-1 overall, 2-0, 0-4, 1-0. A thrilling match that GiantWhirlpool really deserved to win. Notably, neither of us used Naviathan for any of our battles. I don't know about GiantWhirlpool but I was never particularly impressed with this CAP's...

Yeah I've been keeping an eye on Showdown with the intention of battling GiantWhirlpool soon as I see him online. I've yet to spot him though probably partly because of the vacation he mentioned and probably partly because of bad luck and timezone differences.

Yikes. There are so many reasons why Competitive is a terrible idea... 1. It's a great ability, that easily has the potential to outclass our primary ability. 2. It's generically good. It does absolutely nothing to further our concept, it just makes CAP19 more powerful. 3. It's totally contrary...
