  2. The Crystal Geodude Academy's Tournament [Signups] - READ POST #233

    Free agent, XY OU / DPP OU / ADV OU.
  3. Smogon Tour Season 17

    Since a lot of prospective participants may not yet be voiced on the smogtours server, it may be a good idea to include an explicit note in the OP asking them to post their PS username in this topic.
  4. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    The probability of not flinching is 0.9^5 = 59.049%. The probability of flinching is therefore 1 - 0.9^5 = about 41%.
  5. Spelling and Grammar Standards

    I don't disagree with you on "super effective," but you cannot omit the hyphen in "Salamence revenge-killed Swampert." See #5 in this link: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/10-types-of-hyphenation-errors/. "It is beneficial to double target" is correct if no object follows "double target." If...
  6. Spelling and Grammar Standards

    http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/hyphens.asp The only context I can think of in which I would not hyphenate "double-targeting" would be when I am using them as separate words, like if I were using "double" as a verb and "targeting" as a noun. never mind, see my subsequent post. Related...
  7. XY Suspect Testing Round 1 np: Michael Jackson - (extreme)Speed Demon (READ POST #1278)

    Swamp Link, you should read this: http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue32/checks-and-counters. Mega Lucario's SR-weak counters (who all happen to be slower than it) can all be worn down by double-switching when SR is up, and SR should be assumed if you want to claim them to be counters, since...
  8. Other OU's SPL Coverage

    The Stone Edge crit by itself cannot really be considered hax. Assuming Dekzeh's Aegislash had 252+ SpA, then it is easy to show (using the percentages displayed from the attacks that MVenu took) that C05ta's Mega Venusaur's could not have had any more physical-defense investment than a spread...
  9. Smogon Premier League V - Week 2

    pretty sure that lavos meant to imply that his "advantageous position" was caused primarily by team matchup, and not by him necessarily being more skilled than marth
  10. Dedicated Tournament Server - SPL

    They can easily ignore the lobby spectators--they just need to leave the lobby. As for replays, some people may want to review their/others' matches and find mistakes; rewinding the replays to a previous turn takes much longer than simply scrolling through the log manually.
  11. Dedicated Tournament Server - SPL

    Allowing ten people to talk in a match (even if they're not trolling/ghosting) exacerbates the problem of some SPL matches taking too long, partly because the talking is distracting to some players, and also because the talking forces the players to waste more time scrolling through the log if...
  12. Other Stall

    You should check out Smogon's YouTube channel to see a lot of high-level stall matches; typically you'll find them more frequently in ADV and GSC. You should also read through some of the stall teams in the RMT Archive.
  13. Other Stall

    You're obviously supposed to wait until Rotom-W has >70% maxHP with SR up until you set up Manaphy on some other Pokemon. Getting Rotom-W that low isn't difficult at all. I assumed physically defensive Jellicent since it's what I use, but yes, specially defensive Jellicent is a stop. Anyone...
  14. Other Stall

    248 HP / 0 SDef Rotom-W takes a minimum of 57.7% maxHP from 252 SAtk Manaphy's +3 Psychic. 252 HP / 0 SDef Jellicent takes 48.5% minimum from +3 Psychic. It's not too hard to play around the loss of coverage.
  15. Other Stall

    Mega Venusaur won't work once people wise up and run Psychic on Manaphy.
