    I'm back with yet another question. Do you think this change is justifiable:
    "Heat Wave is a STAB spread move that can hit both Pokemon on the opposing side" -> "Heat Wave can hit both Pokemon on the opposing side".
    I was told that saying WHAT a move is, is just extraneous information, so would you have made that change?

    but "..AND CAN easily OHKO it, AND CAN chip away" - surely there's no need to be repeating "can" in the second part.

    ", and it deals a minimum of 70% to the offensive set with the combination of Fake Out and Sucker Punch while also wasting sand turns" if that's the issue... the most important thing is not fusing those two parts together in any case, because they discuss different sets

    oh okay, thank you n_n

    i'm back with a question
    "Terrakion is one of OU's most fearsome and underrated wallbreakers..."
    don't you think "and" -> "yet"? "most fearsome", and "underrated" are kinda opposite, so I'm sure it would make sense having "yet".. what do you think?

    also, I was wondering: should you and I go through all my amchecks up till now, and see what I've done well, and how I can improve? Misaka told me that she got rejected when she applied for the GP team, but she had gone through all her checks with you (I think she said it was you..), so I thought it would be a good idea to do the same for you! What do you think of the idea? (I also chose you and not P2/Gato, because you're the one that looks over my checks most of the times :3)

    i recall discussing a couple things with her, but surely not _everything_... but that's def a good idea yeah, i've got a couple things to do tonight and discussing checks takes time if you want to do it right, but i can write you something up at some later point :0

    hey
    what do you think about using "format", "tier", and "metagame" / "meta"? I mean, the last three are commonly used, but the former isn't--should it be changed.. or should different words be used if the author is constantly repeating it? thanks :]
    Lumari
    Lumari
    pfff.... "meta" should be changed to "metagame" in c&c cuz no slang / abbreviations. i'd have to see instances of "format" within their context to see what you're talking about, but there are definitely instances where it's correct.

    and yes, repetition is reason for changing up diction a bit :)

    hrnngg busy with other things + layton 6 stronger than it should have been but "tomorrow for sure" u_u (if you don't have a reply when you wake up, just gimme another beep.) did read it over, good check overall especially on the objective stuff but couple issues with unnecessary changes (though not a lot), some suboptimal prose fixes, and some misunderstandings D: more elaborate reply to come asap!

    I had to skim through your top 500 list. I'm curious to know, what song on there has the latest release? I saw Beautiful Day but I'm not sure if that's the most recent.
    Lumari
    Lumari
    Dust and Dreams, Midnight Sun, Wolflight, and Corycian Fire by Steve Hackett (album was released last year). If you're talking latest release by an actually not ancient band lol (other recent songs by old bands include the ones from Clockwork Angels by Rush (2011) and The Endless River by Pink Floyd (2014)), I'm... honestly not too sure heh, but off the top of my head it should be Uprising :)

    np! i added a "shit happens" amchecking guideline (among a couple others) specifically for cases like this to the OP of the queue a while back in case you missed that one. will try to check it out later today but had been hoping to clear some of the sfp queue today :)

    Regarding the sentence about Outrage in Sliggoo's overview, I ended up making it this: "...that it has to lock itself into Outrage when awake", so is that fine or does it need to be reworded?
    Lumari
    Lumari
    "to attack when awake" cause it's a tad vague as is. don't think it's gonna be much neater without removing the mention of it being asleep
    Hootie
    Hootie
    Ok I just ended up removing it because I already touch on it in usage tips for the Curse set. Thanks!

    Oh yeah I always ask for Cp on my panels because implementing is a giant bitch and the majority of them I only write two sentences in so it feels kinda crappy to implement changes the people aren't gonna see anyway (in regards to comments etc)
    Lumari
    Lumari
    yeah, i sorta figured that much (though implementing is doable when it's done with the reply button). the more serious problems i have with cp checks is that they're very vulnerable to human error on the gp checker's part and to unnecessary subjective changes, so having a markup as a log of the changes made is really really important imo
