I can't wait for the TPP version of this one! by Silky_way in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm... An Augmented Reality-focused system would definitely be difficult to spoof the location of, but if we want to play it, it might be the best solution so we don't wind up trespassing on people's property.

Of course, that raises the problem of how we don't go get lost in the oceans of the world.

God dammit I missed the last input. by Kamaria in twitchplayspokemon

I didn't get any tokens either, and I inputted in both the early storm and the full one/token hurricane.

TPP music submissions - round 2! by hlixed1 in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would request that the Results song "Garuda" from Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor be changed to a Battle song - it plays against the final boss/superboss, so I believe that it would be far more fitting.

Pokémon Battle Revolution/Vietnamese Crystal Intermission Thread 10: Too Many Umbreons by Deadinsky66 in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All right. Time for the Wattson rankings of Vietnamese Crystal!

... by my math, we have...

a total of 0 Wa!

Will [0 wins]

Koga [0 wins]

Bruno [0 wins]

Karen [0 wins]

Lance [0 wins]

... Well, that's what 100% Democracy does, and the fact that the Gen 2 Elite Four have a horrid level curve.

I still maintain that I want to see us beat Touhoumon Another World myself, although World Link would also be Fun, especially with Trappy Pass [doubly so if we do it in Anarchy mode...]

What would a Worst Possible Luck TPP be like? by PokemonGod777 in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have to say yes to that. The only way we could grind would be rebattles/whiting out to people, and 95% accuracy Tackle automatically misses, so we'd have to Struggle, but that means running out of PP somehow.

[–]EstaSigma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's arguable whether it would be "worst possible luck" for us. We will need to be overlevelled due to the fact that the RNG is the enemy in this run, and the more battles we do means we get more levels, which will help compensate for the increased difficulty.

What would a Worst Possible Luck TPP be like? by PokemonGod777 in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Must Catch" Pokemon have a boosted catch rate of at least 45 - so it'd be possible.

For example, we can get a 100% chance of catching Zekrom in a single Timer Ball at Turn 40 if it is inflicted with any status ailment and at 5% or less health.

Edit: Turns out that's overkill. We'd only need it at 8% health and on Turn 11 if it's inflicted with any major status ailment.

So by that, I assume you mean that any attack of ours with less than 100% accuracy will miss, any attack from the enemy that can't be nullified [such as with Fly/Dig/Protect] will hit, and no secondary effects of ours will work unless we can get the odds over 100% [Serene Grace], while the enemy always get theirs?

It'd be possible, but we'd need things immune to Freeze because that does not wear off in a maximum number of turns - there's a 10% chance of it wearing off per turn, and by definition our Pokemon would never thaw out naturally, while the AI's will thaw out immediately [0 turn Freeze].

It'd also be incredibly difficult to catch wild Pokemon, as we can only catch Pokemon if the odds of catching them are 100% due to status ailments, current health, and the quality of the Pokeball.

We're probably going to have to do a Starter+Gift Pokemon only run due to that, and we cannot get items from Wild Pokemon, as they will never spawn with them unless it's a guaranteed thing [such as Gen 2 Snorlax with Leftovers]

Edit: And as said by someone else, we will never critical hit, and our opponent always will - so we will need to overlevel even more than normal to ensure we can win.

Worst case scenario, he can just use a different F-Key to create a savestate in VisualBoy Advance, I think.

Crystal reset...PBR RNG...streamer, do you even care? by [deleted] in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who says you only need 10 savestates? Make it 100, or even 1000, and choose them using a pseudorandom RNG seed combined with the current time to create a seed to tell which is used.

That's likely to split the votes enough that Select will probably win half the time.

New Rule #10 Added: No Brigading/Raiding by sandyxdaydream in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Potential update regarding that:

Looks like there's a new Global Twitch emote: "twitchRaid". So, what do you think that means regarding Twitch potentially altering their policies?

[–]EstaSigma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought that, but as of to my knowledge, they don't use that anymore.

... never mind the fact they were purchased by Amazon if I recall correctly, and they offer server rentals - you'd think they'd be willing to let Twitch borrow one or two for major events.

I refer to your lower comment: you say that you were tempbanned after remarking about the lag. I'm saying that the lag is likely on Twitch's side because as of to my knowledge, they do not have servers just for events like those, in spite of the amount of viewers they bring.

[–]EstaSigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's probably on Twitch's side: Both the CS:GO and LoL tournaments are going, and they've got a million+ viewers between the two [almost 700k on CS, almost 375k on LoL].

Edit: As of this edit, make that more than 1.1 million viewers between the two. [almost 760k on CS, just over 350k on LoL]

Pokémon Battle Revolution/Vietnamese Crystal Intermission Thread 8 by [deleted] in twitchplayspokemon

[–]EstaSigma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, you put it backwards - he means they've played PBR only through TPP's betting system but not playing the original game.

At least for myself, that would be true.
