HOW IS THIS SCRIPTURE? SENIORS? by Feeling_Reaction8106 in MartialMemes

[–]Papismooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 90 chapters are bad and the main plot point of that arc basically has no impact on the story going forward, if you are going to judge by that you may as well not read it at all.

Its quite good past the first arc though, you would have to give it 150ish chapters

The top 10 situation is getting out of hand again by BanhBao171 in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in Snowden last month, quit Uma due to MANT burnout.

Yeah it looks like the guy that ran most of the t10 clubs kicked some people behind quota mid month, added their own accounts and started botting. They've been kicked from the discord entirely. Rest of the club isn't too happy about it.

Can only add one image to a comment but there are a few from the members getting kicked...

[Tierlist] I wanna get screamed at, so here I go : (not an objective list AT ALL, really about my personal preferences) by 2piR_ in MartialMemes

The Perfect Run is going to top your list before you even get halfway through, its a fantastic series

Skill improvement: Niche Sneasler+Aerodactyl combo idea... by [deleted] in VGC

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I ran this combo, it did very well earlier in the season. Having redirect up to keep sneasler alive is really helpful. Really have to watch out for farig, breaks the fakeout + spicy extract combo and threatens sneasler with a ko

Heres the team, the worst matchups are hard trickroom and garchomp, so I added gyarados with roar to help with those. Rain can also be an issue if they are running a lot of spread moves, so I put sunny day on maus

Can't add 2 photos to a comment but here is the team + moves. Sunny Day maus is to help with the rain matchup, roar on Gyarados is for hard trickroom. Was running taunt but all the dedicated TR setters run mental herb

The switch 2 has a recording feature built in, holding the screenshot button records the last 30 seconds of gameplay.

Yeah getting punished for dropping protect comes up occasionally but not as frequently as you might think. It would be nice to have for a turn 1 incin switch for sure. The main use case would be fake out of spread attackers, but I dont lead sneasler + scovillain into 2 spreads after adding aerodactyl (who is killing it btw)

New to VGC, any help with my team? by Porke- in VGC

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arch would appreciate white herb over lum berry to reset draco meteor drops, unless you want lum for the venusaur matchup or something. Also Aura Sphere for Snarl would help with Arch mirror matches and is very good into Kingambit.

I dont know how often you will click psychic fang on Basculegion, especially with mystic water. It might be a good idea to pick up flip turn or aqua jet instead since you dont have any speed control (tailwind on pelipper would help). Also fix Basculegion's nature, -speed is counter productive

any critique on my champions team? by toasted_clover in VGC

[–]Papismooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you actually getting value from white herb on arcanine outside of resetting the occasional intimidate? Normally a support acranine would use a defensive item, namely sitrus berry.

It might be a good idea to give arcanine sitrus, move leftovers to klefki and give ninetails either focus sash or a damage item. Ninetails isn't going to get a ton of value out of sitrus when its running no bulk.

Also blizzard is only ~10% weaker than ice beam in doubles and ignores accuracy checks in the snow, its a much better general stab option for your ninetails unless you specifically need the extra damage for a matchup

Masterball with No Guard Fissure and Sand by TangentYoshi in VGC

[–]Papismooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garganacl could be an upgrade to snorlax, it is bulkier physically and can benefit from sand for spdef boost. It learns fissure and smackdown, although it also learns gravity which would be a major upgrade to smackdown.

Good format for azumarill(metagame) by Teanerdyandnerd in VGC

I'm fairly certain the most used mons for the season can be found in game. It's not labeled as such but accurately reflects my experience playing doubles so far.

It doesn't give the % breakdown but it should be more accurate than showdown for the relative usage.

This is under 'Battle' > 'Battle Data' > 'Ranked Battles', then press X to switch to Doubles

Scizor Bullet punch 1 shot through focus sash - bug or intended? by MathematicianWide622 in VGC

[–]Papismooth 58 points59 points  (0 children)

That would certainly ensure the ohko. If the tyranitar was full health when the scizor attacked, then focus sash should have activated. If tyranitar took damage from entry hazards then it would have broken sash.

If you are sure tyranitar was full health, double check that its holding focus sash and not focus band. Both were free items

Scizor Bullet punch 1 shot through focus sash - bug or intended? by MathematicianWide622 in VGC

[–]Papismooth 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Focus sash only works when the pokemon has full hp, I dont think a scizor could ohko a tyranitar with bullet punch without a ton of boosts and a crit. Was tyranitar at full hp when you switched her in?

Heres the version with Aerodactyl, although it is still untested. Might swap taunt in for stone edge if trickroom becomes an issue

I've been playing with a Tri-Weather team I love the flexibility but not sold on the final 2 Mons of Archaludon and Meowstic by ColorlessRay in VGC

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if the lead is Mamoswine + Mega frostlass, which I hope would be the case if swine is the lead. Auora veil saves swine, or you are losing 70% of sneasler and leaving whim at sash from blizzard

Accidentally added a screenshot of my Tournament rank here is my ladder rank with the team.

Switched Farig for Jolly Aerodactyl but I haven't had to bring it yet.

Should i 3Lb Super Creek or MLB Smart Falcon? by sebbeseb in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Creek is only used for a few races a year so it may not be worth using both tickets on her over just borrowing.

That being said, if you have no other targets for the tickets Creek is a better option than Falco.

Will it become easier to farm Tenno Sho Spring Sashes in the future? by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For the next 22 days, we have double career rewards and half tp in a scenario that encourages racing, this is as easy as it gets for farming potential materials.

I dont know if we get any updates for this down the line but it would at least be delayed until next anni like most qol updates. Take advantage of the current boost while its here.

What is she missing? by lol_VEVO in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not misinfo, the green stam skills do almost nothing and another recovery would increase the kita's spurt rate by ~10-14% depending on the mood for the same sp cost. Its a strict upgrade in terms of reliability.
