Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Okay I know this and I agree with it. It's a very good and valid point straight-up.
My intent here isn't to oversimplify the process of both garnering administrative support AND the playerbase to actually agree on a targeted ban. Spikes isn't even a personal top banlist approach of mine. My...
Let's go over this then because everything that I'm being counterargued with is being taken blatantly out of context. I understand that this is not a result of a lack of understanding on your part but rather an inherent philosophical difference that can't objectively be argued against, but your...
I didn't think I'd have to make another identical post repeating exactly what I just wrote prior but I might as well, because I can understand that maybe my point was lost in the sheer overwhelming length of things and breadth of subjects I rambled about in an attempt to be thorough about my...
It's honestly insane to me that we exist in a community that used to ridicule all of the casual scrubs on GameFAQs begging us to just unban Blaze Blaziken because they didn't like their favorite guy being disallowed from standard OU play, only for the exact same principles to be parroted across...
I'm opening commissions for avatar sprites (and Splatoon stuff I guess if you're interested in that?)
Price is $35, which I know is on the higher end, but I'm a pretty obsessive perfectionist and I can guarantee quality and will happily keep tweaking/improving anything you like until you're...
god this thread is painful to read.
you can't halfass this. i think there is a very reasonable and strong justification for preserving mechanics for the sake of marketing and community growth, i don't want to discount that fact, but they shouldn't come at the cost of actually solving the...
wano is the worst arc by far and fifth gear was actually a brilliant reveal for evolving luffy's powerset in a unique and thematically appropriate way that emphasizes his role as the freest person in the world even to the point of transcending the constraints of physical logic, it could have...
luffy and big mom literally have the biggest and most intensely hate-filled mutual grudge in the new world. the two of them actually despise each other on a level that we haven't even seen with any of luffy's prior villains. do people really think that the two of them somehow not fighting is...
no discussion on 1050 here yet? personally i'm not impressed by the bait. a dark sky full of volcanic ash is ominous as fuck in a series known for its heavy sun symbolism, can't wait to see what direction 1051 goes in. the rest of kaido's flashback is gonna be some of the most exciting shit we...
The Mochi-Mochi Fruit is actually a Mythical Zoan, the Human-Human Fruit Model: Mochizuki. Mochizuki is some random god we've never heard of whose power is to be mochi and who is the god of the sun but bigger.
For the record I don't hate this reveal and I think that the new expanded powerset...
i still think that the story has put far too much narrative importance on the weight of the big mom and luffy grudge. i think that despite the apparent set matchups, she'll be going down against him in the end. kid and law, regardless of the powerscaling circumstances of what people think their...
Mostly been ignoring this thread for all the cold boring takes that I've seen a million times. I really like the MCU and think that people really take for granted the things it does well in terms of building compelling character arcs and telling some pretty genuinely interesting stories with the...
