Probabilities of Hax

[iKitsune]

Can we see some stats featuring para flinching so when i get 10 flinches in a row to kill swampert with jirachi i can say there was an X chance of that happening thanks.

Wow, this thread is genius. Pure genius.

No longer blaming hax now... this really hit me like it did to most people who have read this.

Despite hax happening to me a bit often recently, I never really whined about it that much anyways. The most annoying occurrence that happened to me was when I had a +6 CurseLax and I was at nearly full health then I got critted which resulted in an instant KO. Hax is tolerable, but when crits bypass stat modifications, that's when it gets extremely irritating.

So now you can justify your whining when you get flinched four times in a row by togekiss; the chance is the same as scoring a burn with Flamethrower!

Then why does Togekiss flinchhax practically every attack? Sure it's a low percentage, but I believe that Shoddy messed up when they implemented Air Slash, there's no way I always hit 4 Flinch in a row with Togekiss.
Great article BTW. It's interesting how a probability lower than 1% can hit us so hard in the end of a game, eh?

I have to say though, when your 21-0 team gets swept by a Togekiss (Thunder Wave, Air Slash), that's when you know that you're allowed to complain.

*Looks up into the sky* Why god? Why did they have to make Togekiss?!!!
