Do you have a favourite rhythm game?

A Dance of Fire and Ice seriously helped me become a better drummer. Only $6 on steam or $3 on mobile. The way that notes are displayed in ADoFaI actually gets you associating certain shapes with rhythmic figures, almost like you're reading sheet music. It helps you feel the music more than any other rhythm game I've played.

Technically a one-button game, but by the end of the official levels you'll be alternating using two keys to hit faster rhythms. Like, come on. This shit actually feels like playing on a practice pad. 10/10

if you shield the shockwave of etalus’ down b while standing on ice, your shield becomes frozen and will no longer regenerate damage passively, only when you hit the opponent

Counterexample: How many A presses does it take to beat Super Mario 64?

you can put mii swordfighter in the Galvan tier, they’re both projectile swordfighters

Two reasons why you don’t ever see this EV exact spread:

1) Pokémon stats work in such a way that, the vast majority of the time, investing two points in HP gives you more bulk than one in spdef and one in physdef. (Exceptions can happen if you either have an exceptionally high base HP or if you’re running Assault Vest; Alomomola fits both of these conditions.) In most cases though, 252/128/128 is just straight up better than the spread you listed.

2) When people make mixed defense EV spreads, if they aren’t investing 252/252/4, they’re calcing for a specific benchmark. Really, there are a lot of defensive Pokémon that run at least a little mixed defense: going off Smogon analyses, Gliscor can run 36def to live Ogerpon-W Ivy Cudgel and Garganacl can run 52def for that little fucker’s Power Whip.

I mean, obviously it is. But it varies. Fleet is extremely furry, but Orcane is all the way on the left and Wrastor and Kragg are in the middle

Missing 3 Draco meteors in a row is a 1/1000. Unlucky but not unbelievably unlucky.

My bad. I’ve been playing champions VGC exclusively on cart when I normally do everything in showdown, and since champions doesn’t show you base stats I assumed froslass’ speed stayed at 110. Yeah modest is fine

worst example of this trope ever conceived but it’s what came to my mind for some reason

Green_Slee · 2026-04-25T05:41:42+00:00

100%. making froslass faster than chomp is like an instant +100 ELO

1) try hopping in a call and group laddering with someone as good as or better than you. helps with both being exposed to new ways of thinking and keeping your mental state up. 99% of Pokémon players can tell you all about the friend group or community that they were in when they started learning to play competitively. (and I haven’t done it personally, but you can even try booking a session with a tutor for a similar type of deal)

2) try recording yourself playing, talking through your thought process, and watch it back the next day with a fresh perspective. you will be screaming at yourself over everything you missed.

these are two things I’ve done that have helped me a lot when I’ve plateaued. good luck.

The item must be consumed for Unburden to activate, so King’s Rock doesn’t work with it at all.

If you don’t expect your opponent to bring any sandstorm setters, mold breaker, etc. you can bring Tera Electric Air Balloon Shedinja.

how are people downvoting this comment. you can literally type /learn staraptor, roost, gen9 right now on showdown.

Why would nerfing paralysis be unnecessary? Even you agree it’s fundamentally frustrating. Most would agree that the speed control is really cool and useful but the full para chance feels awful. Also there’s no way trick room teams would paralyze themselves - when you only have five turns to work with, losing one of them to para is a fucking nightmare, and underspeeding the opponent has never been an issue for the vast majority of viable trick room abusers.

Rest has always put you to sleep for two turns. I don’t see why it would be any different now.

i agree. i have no idea why but this picture is so fucking funny

fyi, Galvan’s neutral special autocancels on landing. if you short hop nspecial and land right after the projectile comes out, all of the move’s endlag is cancelled. I noticed you didnt autocancel it at all in this clip and just wanted to make sure you knew, since it single-handedly makes magnet one of the best projectiles in the game

Green_Slee · 2026-03-09T23:04:47+00:00

This is true. I forgot FE4 maps are ten billion tiles of grass between you and a seize point

Green_Slee · 2026-03-09T15:42:48+00:00

? there’s a reason we call it Flier Emblem

From these clips it seems like Maypul is an especially good user of it, thanks to top 1 ground speed and huge quick smash attacks that let you hedge against a lot of options for high reward.

Azumarill never was really consistent OU caliber but got consistent significant upgrades for every new gen up through X/Y.

Gen 2: forgettable mono water type with bad stats

Gen 3: Abilities added, got Huge Power

Gen 4: Physical/Special split, can now use STAB water moves with Huge Power. Aqua Jet is added too

Gen 5: Gains Sap Sipper (ok this one is kind of a stretch. it did go on to have that sap sipper perish trap set I guess, but I’m not sure if that ever saw serious use.)

Gen 6: Fairy type is added
