Me first, me first!

[AndrewRogue]

I apologize in advance and humbly submit to the topic locking if this has been brought up/discussed before, but a search yielded no hits for Me First and I can't recall its Japanese name.

Anyhow, while glancing through Serebii, my eye fell on this move which apparently, "Strikes first, with opponent's attack, at 1.5x power" and this got me thinking. A few of the big, threatening sweepers at the moment carry attacks that they themselves are weak to, and many of these could be used for general attacking with the intent to OHKO (I'm looking at you Draco Meteor). Combined with a Focus Strip, or even just some general tanking, does this move have potential? It does take some prediction, but it has a priority mod and gives free STAB (at least it seems), and like I said, some of the big moves this generation hurt.

Admittedly, very few of the pokemon get it, and even fewer of those are considered OU (or usable in OU), but perhaps this could give them some role?

Again, I apologize if this has been brought up. I'll submit additional thoughts when I have a few more minutes.

Apology accepted.

Its folk-translation was originally Anticipate. A pretty good topic on its uses can be found [thread=16843]here[/thread]. I also could have sworn there was a thread with "Me First" in the title, but search doesn't seem to find it.

edit: Jumpman found it, was forgetting my wildcards.
