I've been in love with the QBB-95 from Karkand while I wait to grind out the suppression assists for my baby, the MG36. It's actually pretty bad as a machine gun, since it has a just quirky enough firing rate to lose to the speeds of the SMGs/Assault Rifles at close range and seems to bounce...

They were on the Billboard top charts multiple times from the late 90s into the 00s. "Unwell" stayed on the charts for over a year - if you turned on the radio any time in 2003/2004, you probably heard them at least once a day, and most adult alternative stations probably still have the song...

hello frend homsar, i have been pretty okay. how are you???

hey nob come back to #uusf :(

lost, gg.

If you don't pick the right move in stall, you lose; there is always a "right" move. You don't pick the right move on a CB team, you lose; there is always a "right" move. You don't pick the right move in <insert team strategy here>, you lose; there is always a "right" move. That's what...

in the gorgie shall feel lose yeah...urs

Ironically, I'd been saying to someone previously to these matches that hitting Smeargle rather than trying to outpredict it was the smart play, then I pull bonehead moves like that. Yeah, out of practice indeed I guess, considering before this whole controversy I'd played less than 10 full BP...

only way you'll get me playing new gens! in

(ok i lied) I apologize for not making my intentions in posting those logs clear. I've read the arguments here from both sides, considered both objectively once I realized I was letting too much of my "christ we've played adv for 6 years why is this a problem now" emotion bleed into my words...

Logs were requested, so here are logs of matches I played against BP last night with 3 opponents of reputable skill, each using slight variations in BP team. http://pastebin.com/6k6LC3Bb - Me vs. Earthworm http://pastebin.com/vR1paAg6 - Me vs. M Dragon http://pastebin.com/hBrYuY1C - Me vs...

Except Pokemon is basically an exceptionally advanced and nuanced RPS; what do you call "Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water, Water beats Fire", if not a RPS mechanic at its very core? That's the model that most JRPGs thrive on. You're going to have a bad matchup from time to time; being skilled...

We play a game with such a massive amount of potential playstyle options that it's inevitable someone is going to use a "cheap"/gimmick strategy that creates a mismatch for even the most talented players and greatest teams. We have Endure/Reversal when playing non-Tyranitar teams and...

In my half-decade or so in ADV play, the number of full BP chains I've faced as compared to regular teams, even among scrub players, was a fraction of a percentage of the 'normal' teams I faced. This whole thing is a solution in search of a problem, and we're now creating the problem.
