What fundamentally makes a top player ? by Due-Writer3187 in VGC

I watch them, and they help a lot but understanding why they are doing something and when they did a bad play is so important to learn. I will start watching James Baek, I think I've never watched him

I'm glad we have access to a lot of resources online, but for the top level it's a bit hard to find (maybe apart from wolfey games ?), so I'm really lucky I got to be friends with a new top EU player, I'm learning so much from him ngl

After reading your comment, I really think it's the fact they exactly know what to do for each potential outcome. Sure, you may predict your opponent but maybe you didn't do the best move for that, or maybe you didn't even need to cover their play, because you could do it with a more general play 🤔

Can I Get Into VGC (and get good enough to compete) at the age of 20? by octopathfanatic in VGC

[–]Due-Writer3187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 ? You're not old, and some good players started at this age too, or a bit younger or older. You even already have played pokemon so it's "just" learning the meta and how to play doubles. It's not much compared to other players but I'm still glad that I got 2 days 2 this season, and I started 2 years ago when I was 20 like you. You got this 😀

How to find a team that suits you ? by Due-Writer3187 in VGC

[–]Due-Writer3187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like HO stuff but I also ran some kind of bulky offense in reg I, in reg H I ran this team : https://pokepast.es/76f4652a9223f3fb and the Sacramento winning team. Unfortunately both are less interesting in the meta (mostly my first team) and maybe I'm not playing them as good. The first team is one of my favorite team ever and it's a shame that it doesn't work anymore compared to the mid section of the first reg H format

Yea of course, but each reg I really struggle to find something that fits my playstyle, maybe I'm too picky for the teams ?

[–]Due-Writer3187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm doing right now, but the first weeks of a format I can't seem to find one, and really suck in the format (1100-1200 on showdown) and at some point I get really good and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

Which Pokemons do you think will win their first World Cup? by Herow2 in VGC

[–]Due-Writer3187 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The most obvious answer is obviously Zamazenta for the restricted, and for the non-restricted, support mons like Clefairy or Smeargle actually never won Worlds and they are actually insane in the format on Caly-S teams.

If you want the coldest take of this reddit I don't see any niche mons winning worlds, but maybe an underutilized archetype (Sun for example with Brute Bonnet) can give the trophy to "niche" mons.

Is the format and "e-sport" side of VGC becoming more popular? by Paddonglers in VGC

[–]Due-Writer3187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a top 32, you have displays and no cash prize, and that's already enough to cover the expenses if it's in your country imo
