If you honestly didn't see them you're probably blind. But it's more likely that you just practice sophistry and are selectively ignoring the things I say.
You might not be able to understand my argument, but I hope that's not the case because I want to have an intelligent conversation, so I'm going to assume you're selectively ignoring them instead. Here are the points you need to stop ignoring:
1. It costs 3 turns to set up SR if you need to bring the SR user in, 3 valuable turns when battles on average take 20-30 turns. 3 turns when you could have been doing something else.
2. Defog + Rapid Spin are even more common than they used to be. It's not
It doesn't matter if Mega Lucario users use SR more often than everyone else. It doesn't change the fact that SR is hard to maintain and SR costs turns to set up. You really need to grow out of your selective ignorance issue.
I don't think you know what a contradiction is. A contradiction is when a proposition A is made and another proposition, not A is made. I have no idea where I "directly contradicted myself."
It's spelled "guarantee."
Oh look, I was right, there is no contradiction. I'm not denying that SR has to be considered; I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me where I said they were useless? Selective ignorance is one thing, but outright lying about my viewpoint is just low. It's true that Defog + Rapid Spin costs turns too. No one is denying that. But my argument is merely pointing out that SR has that same cost.
1st turn SR is very unreliable since your opponent might choose something to deal with your SR lead and you might not be able to get it up. It works, but not every time.
It might not be obvious to you, but it's probably obvious to everyone apart from you. Here is what you said:
If you need your T-Tar to counter something threatening like a Talonflame, you can't risk losing it. A smart player may see that your T-tar is the only thing standing in the way of talon cleaning you late game, and may want to simply remove it.
Here is the simple thing. You're not going to bring in Tyranitar often if the opponent has Talonflame. Similarly, you're not going to bring in your Lucario counter/check often if the opponent has Lucario. Is that clear enough for you?
I don't care whose it is. You were the one who presented it. It's a stupid definition, because Charizard has no counters at all according to it. But it's clear that each set has counters. Therefore, the definition of "counter" that was provided was wrong.
Lol, how is it not important if a Lucario set has hard counters?
That has nothing to do with Mega Lucario being uber.
Hydreigon is not uncounterable in the same sense as Charizard is. Charizard can choose between setting up with physical and special moves. Hydreigon can't. There are different senses of uncounterable. Hydreigon was the hit-and-run kind of uncounterable.
Genesect and Greninja are incredibly difficult to counter due to U-turn, but they're not uncounterable in the same sense Charizard is.
I'm going to repeat this important point everyone is ignoring:
If the definition of a counter is something that can switch into any set of a given Pokemon and force the given Pokemon out, then Pokemon like Charizard have no counters in OU, yet no one argues that they should be banned.
The next post I make will be a very long and detailed post defending Mega Lucario.
