International Wi-Fi Tournament - Autumn Friendly [OVER - Rankings Released Nov. 1st]

[CrazyAtoo]

Oh Dark Lords,

I remember fighting a Daniel (I remembered the name only because that's my real name on my birth certificate) guy with team that sent out double genies, with a play style that was... it was like the me of 2002, and then when I managed a victory from behind he disconected.

Then the next day I play this guy with a lot more points then me named Daniel. I'm thinking "Have I played this guy before?" which is odd because I normally wouldn't remember or even care about previously fought foes, but something about this team seems very familiar. So I got a bit of lead because he didn't predict a rock slide. The game goes my way and it seems stupidly easy beat him. He's running some stuff that I wouldn't expect only because it is incredibly stupid. But the one thing that is really weird
is that the back of my mind says "this is familiar."
He disconnected

:(

That man is a pigeon!


I must of been disconnected 11 times after 130 battles though... not a bad ratio if less then 10 percent.

 

[Solace]

GG Solace,finally got a battle post. I may have lost to a misplay but I don't really care,it was a very good battle.
Edit:It didn't record...
THE OPTION DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP!

did you not get your vs recorder yet?

gg though!

 

[Jackos]

3rd game is happening for sure, I doubt Nintendo wouldn't press Game Freak to do it to boost 3DS's poor sales, heck, you can even tell the Skyarrow Bridge and Castelia City are a beta version of a 3DS one.

In other more related to this topic news, I got another battle in, not too good due to me being bad, but at least I won. Scarf Hydreigon is a pain.

 

[coolbiz]

guys i decided that since there wasnt a prize for winning first place, getting last place would be just as rewarding as first

over 18 hours i have gone from 1886 to 1067

Your to nice.

 

[Togedelques]

did you not get your vs recorder yet?

gg though!

I would've noticed not having a vs recorder after 69(lulz)battles.
I guess I wasn't paying attention and pressed no.

 

[Firestorm]

gg coolbiz. That was some terrible hax I did on ya. The burn decided it.

 

[labarith]

6/6 disconnects.

Oh, and another Fakeout hits his fakeouter, and then he Fakeouts my guy!

WTF?

 

[soul_survivor]

Is the fake outter mienshao, because inner focus prevents flinch derp

Yeah hoping for some improvements, disconnecting-wise but still it was pretty fun and looking forward to any future Wi-Fi tornaments with the D/C problem fixed !

 

[voodoo pimp]

Cause on my brother's white version his name's Weedle, but it gets turned into Kuro* when you play him on the random wifi. Not sure if that's the "wee" part of his name (lol) or the fact it's a pokémon's name.

More likely "weed" because DRUGZ R EVUL.

 

[Solace]

[Cybertron]

Just beat a 2000+ player called Ryan from None, and was about to thank him for not DCing after I beat him... guess what just popped up? Anyway, I'm off to dinner now so time to post my final records before the tournament officially ends!

Rating: 2057
Number of Battles: 156
Amount of Time Spent: Way too much

 

[Firestorm]

Ugh the only person above even 1500 not to disconnect today was coolbiz. Doesn't look like I'll be making my 1750 goal :(

 

[Eraddd]

I was going to try hitting 1900 today but guess not. Great (lol actually pretty shitty) tournament and it was nice to visit VGC 2011 again. I found that the metagame isn't as bad and I"m not as shitty as I thought I was!

Rating: 1851

Oh, yup! LOL!

Mine's the regenerator, w/ life orb...

 

[Togedelques]

It's finally over.
Rating:1835(probably a bit higher after the update)
Battles:71
Not one D/C on my part,in battle at least.

 

[lolfailsnail]

Final rating is 1716.

Not great, but at least I can say I never intentionally D/C'd.

 

[THATSAplusONE]

It's over. I had a great time. Lots of fun.

 

[Firestorm]

And it's done.

Rating: 1743
Battles: 49

 

[soul_survivor]

Threads almost got 2000 post in a matter of 5 days. Damn

 

[Mosquito]

Just for laughs, I'll post my final record:

Rating: 1523
Battles: 1 (8 D/Cs)

I know I didn't put as much effort as you guys, so I'm impressed by how amazing you people are at continuing on in spite of D/Cs. That's true devotion to the game, just like the people who play the Battle Tower/Subway to insane streaks.

 

[Solace]

and thats it

after being haxed down from 1900, getting it again like 5 times, then being haxed down each time, i made it to 1896. got an 1800 guy as the last match of the day, he d/c's after i ko his first two pokemon, and so forever 1896 for me

this really was addictive but not enjoyable enough that i would play in the future until they solve the d/cing problem

seriously thats a problem that needs to be fixed, because it literally ruined any part of this that was supposed to be competitive...

 

[V4Victini]

My Team

VOLCARONA

Volcarona @Fire Gem (was supposed to be Charti but due to Firestorm's registration fakeout I thought didnt have enough time >:o)
Trait: Flame Body
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SDef
-Quiver Dance
-Will-O-Wisp
-Heat Wave
-Bug Buzz

90% of this Volcarona's purpose was to burn things. The EVs and nature allowed it to take ANYONE'S nonSTAB Rock Slide and with Charti (>:o) even Terrakion's and burn the attacker. To my surprise it even took Krookodile's Stone Edge o_0!

Sr. Troll

Whimsicott @Mental Herb
Trait: Prankster
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP/252 SpD/6 Spd
-Taunt
-Encore
-Tailwind
-Stun Spore

Originally a Cotton Guard variant I just used it on a... whim? XD...enough. Tailwind to boost Volcarona's Speed and take care of Speed Ties. Taunt for Trick Room, and if they had a Mental Herb, follow up with Encore. Also Taunt opposing Whimsicott. Encore stops Protect abusers, Fake Out users, locks say Terrakion into Close Combat with Volcarona out on the field. Very useful for forcing switches. Stun Spore in conjunction with my many Rock Slide users was to hax my way out of a bad situation like Jellicent or Cofagrigus. Or just any bad situation.

Shao

Mienshao @Life Orb
Trait: Regenerator
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Fake Out
-Rock Slide
-Hi Jump Kick
-U-Turn

Fake Out Amoongus and hope for no Effect Spore, net some free damage force a Protect (which I then Encore), stop Trick Room, very effective. Rock Slide for coverage and Volcarona/pokemon that needed that extra hit. U-Turn to recover health and switch targets (Switch out partner then let Mienshao U-Turn to that partner). Hi Jump Kick = Ouch when played right. It also bluffs Inner Focus.

TERRAKION

Terrakion @Expert Belt
Trait: Justified
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Swords Dance (forgot Protect :P, sue me)
-Rock Slide
-Close Combat
-X-Scissor

Meh. Nothin special here. Life Orb was taken.

Ptera

Archeops @Rock Gem
Trait: Defeatist
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Hone Claws (I FORGOT CRUNCH!!!!!)
-Rock Slide
-Acrobatics
-Earthquake

Only Earthquake user, REALLY MEANT TO PUT CRUNCH ON! DAMN YOU FIRESTORM!!!!
Rock Gem MUCH MUCH MUCH More convenient. In doubles Rock Slide needs the boost. Acrobatics for 110 BP STAB.

Dis Nigga

Scrafty @Leftovers
Trait: Shed Skin
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
-Rest
-Crunch
-Drain Punch (Shouldve ran Hi Jump Kick)
-Bulk Up

Scrafty does laughable damage w/o a boost. Shed Skin didnt turn out as reliable as I thought but Fake Out over Rest? Meh, debatable. Drain Punch was to be replaced but I was waiting on a Heart Scale.

Thank Firestorm for much of my team's errors.

 

[Expert Evan]

My final rating was 1912 after 86 battles as I am now uploading some youtube videos and shall post the links once they're ready, so stay tuned.
