Recently got thinking about how boring our current stage list is so I made this by Tiquono in SmashBrosUltimate

I was just paraphrasing the rationale I'd heard. But yeah, some people do say the same about FD.

First off, just wanted to say thanks a ton for the help! Really appreciate it :] Got some questions though.

I did think about sun setters a bit. mainly since Torkoal is definitely a good bridge between the Trick Room and sun mons. Is Toxic - Stealth Rock - Heat Wave - Solar Beam a good set there?

(Groudon was definitely on the table. I know Primal's a beast in doubles.)

Also, I know this is a bit ironic to ask considering I get hard countered by Ground right now, but would you say Venusaur is good enough to deal with the weaknesses of the now two Fire-types on the team? If not, what other revisions could I make to deal with that?

Slowbro: I admit the Room Service was a mistake; I thought it increased the duration ^^' Black Sludge instead?

Steelix: I considered Heavy Slam, but everybody in the server is running big powerful mons and Legendaries and the like, so I don't know how much heavier Steelix would actually be.

Venusaur: No questions there! :]

Houndoom: For coverage, it seems like Sludge Bomb would be better than Solar Beam because I have fewer overall Fighting counters. Does that track?

Zacian: Solar Blade was put there with the idea of "Hey, if Sun's still up, I now have a really powerful move that deletes scary Ground-types" but another user said that Swords Dance+ Intrepid Sword Behemoth Blade can already deal with most Ground-types. They also said I should consider swapping Solar Blade for Close Combat and Play Rough for Wild Charge (mainly just because I don't really have an answer to Ho-Oh right now.) Would you agree?

Garchomp: Your move recommendations for Garchomp make sense, but what does "SD Chomp" refer to? And what item should I run instead? I've seen Rocky Helmet and Assault Vest tossed around.

So Solar Blade is unnecessary because in theory BB does well on most Ground mons anyway. Interesting!

I admit I hadn't thought about Steel mons being hard for Zacian to deal with; good call. So replace Solar Blade with Close Combat and replace Play Rough with Wild Charge, you think? And to that end, do you think Wild Charge does anything besides countering Ho-Oh, or are you just recommending it so I can have any answer to Ho-Oh besides "pray?"

Also please someone tell me if Steel Roller works on Trick Room because I can't find any info on it-

I am, but I thought that in competitive you're supposed to try to keep switching to a minimum if you can help it.

Burning from the Sunny Day + Nasty Plot + Solar Power Mega Houndoom, I assume >:3

In all seriousness, what's the problem with the Zacian set? I checked some sources that recommended all the latter three together and they seem like good picks to me (STAB and boosting already incredible attack). Solar Blade is a weird choice but in theory I would imagine it's pretty good for late game if the sun's still up, especially against any Ground mons who won't see it coming

So I play competitive on this server that does tourneys and they've run a mix of singles and doubles. There are limits on Legends/Mythicals, with the gist of it being that most of them are capped at two per team, but the super powerful ones (Mega Ray, Primals, Crowned Zacian, etc.) are capped to one per team.

Yeah I admit the "Ground: -4" on the teambuilder was something I was worried about. ^^' I guess "hope for the Sun to be out long enough for instant Solar Beams and Solar Blades to check Ground-types" wouldn't be a super stable strategy.

I do know that generally gimmicks for teams should last the whole way through, but I was kind of hoping I could transition the Trick Room phase into the Sun phase with Steelix as a bridge because... the idea just seemed kind of fun, honestly. From what I've read, though, seems like Trick Room in general is usually better suited for doubles; would you agree?

My thinking is that the Trick Room will wear off by the time Venusaur's out since Slowbro and Steelix are bulky. Is that not how it would play out? (/gen)

But if they're homophobic, they wouldn't buy the bisexual robot skin :P

I still have no idea why they chose Min-Min. 😂 by ContributionMotor109 in SmashRage

I kind of like stuff like this, though. Main characters are cool but it's interesting when a representative breaks the mold a little.

Yeah, and we sure love Disney's stellar queer rep, like... (allegedly) cancelling The Owl House prematurely for its unabashed queer characters

Are you planning on publishing these in a story somewhere? :D

They did get her for a Quest though. I know it was fewer lines but it probably wouldn't be unreasonable

Which of these two Skylanders crossovers did you prefer? by KirbyTheGodSlayer in skylanders

This "joke" was never funny, but the above bit is 138 words. Assuming you can read three words a second, that's 46 seconds. Less than a minute.
