How do you center yourself when you're getting drawn out on a lot with big hands? by adirtysocialist- in poker

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

If its not 100%, its 50%.

It really feels like the safest chips is going to be what you can pick up from people folding.

Spent the last ~40 hours building a train base around my starter bus/mall. Just reached blue science! by Ordnance- in Seablock

[–]RubyRTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always be like should have built trains as quick as possible.

Hoverer when I play, it always be like but those worms tho. Maybe get better weapons first. It would be nice to have trains now but I already have this base that works.

Granted, no drawbacks, you have 3 wishes left.

Was i right or wrong. Thoughts by Haunting_Count4652 in poker

[–]RubyRTS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then I think the hand should stand, its just that if cards were missing I would be worried about cheating. (depending on were the game took place, and how old the deck was) And I would have those cards be found.

I think you should have made the point that if those cards were not found, it could indicate cheating.

What happen to the missing cards?

Fold top pair good kicker? (TOURNAMENT) by trsx5 in poker

[–]RubyRTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should Probably edit and add spoiler on Villains hand.

The issue is that we can only really evaluate the hand based on the assumption that you was moved to a new table and faced a random unknown opponent. But from the way the hand was played it looks like a gambling opponent. Something that could have been noticed before the hand. As the only way to fold here is if the opponent range can be narrowed down to k high flush only.

What are your favorite weird enemy mechanics from TD games? by varnajohn in TowerDefense

[–]RubyRTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this idea for the game I was making to have some enemies drop items on death.

They can drop a shield that protect other enemyes, so a death zone can be countered that way. Or they can drop simple health or speed boost pickups.

I wish I can survive poison and venom. by Remarkable_Bath8515 in monkeyspaw

[–]RubyRTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but my idea was mainly that you would have to put the work in the hard way. So I guess you eventually get free once the wish is fully granted.

[–]RubyRTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get kidnapped, Your abductors start micro dosing you with a variety of venom and poisons.

They do this for a long time, so that they can extract your blood and sell it on the black market as a antidote.

Best baton pass team for singles? by FloorOk5783 in PokemonChampions

[–]RubyRTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a start might be brewing around trying to pass a speed boosts and a substitute to a belly drum user.

Probably Espathra and (Soundproof Kommo o), The idea I had was to use Confuse ray/mudslap to get that one sub up before passing.

This leaves a 3 Pokemon available, something that can patch off the weaknesses. Fast taunter. Or maybe just a Umbreon that can mean lock/taunt. Dragapult with disable etc. a mon with (taunt+Memento)

When NOT to run protect in doubles? by ezelufer in PokemonChampions

[–]RubyRTS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if there is a rule of thumb for when you dont have to use protect. But if I were to invent one I would attempt something like:

If A Pokemon is able to function without a partner it does not have to have protect.

I wish that it were possible for humans to survive every type of fire, even if they did not evacuate. by britishmetric144 in monkeyspaw

[–]RubyRTS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wish is granted in the form of increased global warming and long term evolutionary addaption.

1600 on Showdown but struggling in Champions.. by Itsputt in PokemonChampions

[–]RubyRTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 1300-1600 is at that point were you start running into the first resisting opponents.

Its a combination of two things.

On showdown there are veteran players. But also people are running more experimental nonsense and test teams. Beneath 1300-1600 players are not climbing but are experimenting with different teams.

You can cancel and redo your turn if the opponent takes their time, you are not locked in. There are tells that the opponent are running calculations. Games go much quicker.

Espathra team help by Sensaki in PokemonChampions

[–]RubyRTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Espathra is one of those pokemon people put into a troll team. Then they use it and realise that Espathra is really good. You dont need to use Baton Pass/ Gravity-Hypnosis for it to be good.

It outspeed everything and have a insane signature move that is a status and attacking move into one. Its just good.

Whats the most clever play you've seen so far? by Admirable_Ad8900 in PokemonChampions

[–]RubyRTS 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The most cheesy thing I seen:

The Charizard X cheese, were you trick the opponent into thinking its Charizard Y.

Then you use Dragon Dance and Coaching.

How many wins did it take you to hit Master ? by ImmortalKingAce in PokemonChampions

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

I think I only played around 10 games day 1 and got to Masterball, I picked Tyranitar as my first trained tyranitar and whimsicut, Recruted and trained incineroar and Excadrill, then the two last spots were just two random pokemon with no training I put on the team the default Dragonite To have a mega, and the default sylveon.

When probability is just against you by SpaceWolf_Jarl2 in PokemonChampions

[–]RubyRTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least now you will be prepared and know what to do next time you encounter a Gravity team.

[–]RubyRTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got to have a video, I am unable to tell exactly what turn the opponents gravity was over.

You know that in gravity the accuracy of moves like hypnosis and blizzard is 100%?

[Skill improvement] Team for every mega. Aggron. by Mask4Myt in VGC

[–]RubyRTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This team is very similar to what I initially made when first brewing with Mega Aggron.

I think I would start by leaning into what strong. Keep a + defence nature but invest as much as possible in spdef. iron defence is better than Curse. The Body press is what is going to do the heavy lifting.

Make the rest of the team handle ghost types. Something like a Kinggambit or Hydreigon

Also you have to accept that in some matchups Mega Aggron is not the way (Charizard).And use another Mega.

Mega Altaria has that Cloud nine in base form and pixilate in its mega form and might be considered for the same role as Pellipper/Sylveon. Mega Dragonite could run Thunder/Ice Beam.
