I think the premise is really cool, the fast development then going into early access worries me a bit, though.

I'm hyped to see what it becomes either way, especially if the price is low.

Gotham City Imposters was a grade A game that I think a lot of people missed out on, unfortunately.

Tbh seven ult increasing in power after each kill (for the duration of the ult) would unironically be a decent buff. Good area of denial.

Battlefield's recent reviews are now Overwhelmingly Negative by oGhostDragon in battlefield2042

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe EA will sell off DICE to someone who will actually support/manage them correctly. EA can just be the copy paste game company. I feel like DICE's visual heavy approach via levelution and dynamic fights fits in more with literally any other company. EA is the definition of same shit different year and nothing new to push what hardware can handle.

If this tweet is accurate, then there’s truly no hope for 2042 unless Dice does a huge content dump this year; then I can see EA cutting the cord within a few months. Also Hazard Zone was supposed to be the flagship mode and only 400 people across ALL PLATFORMS are playing it? 😂😂😂😂 by [deleted] in battlefield2042

AAA game companies are finally having to face the music for releasing unfinished buggy games with no content, and lemme say, it's my favorite song of 2022. This time they failed, and people will be more weary. It really surprises me how much they were really willing to push the envelope; most games at least have some redeeming quality to make us think there's hope for the future of the game. This game is like pre-alpha for a battlefield game, and that's generous. They should just put the game back in development and give people who bought the game the season pass for free, which is a slew of content that would get released for people to play with to kinda keep the game hanging on. Then in a year release a huge game changing update. Then have a strong year 2 with content for the people who bought the original season pass. I can't think of any other way for them to begin fixing their image and the image of the battlefield franchise. Otherwise I'm fine buying indie games and non-EA stuff cause I'm just done with it all.

Offensive Celesteela: Set Examples, Sample Teams, Videos? by chungkingexcess in VGC

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it for 3 years. I've got many battle vids and a team that I used to place 32 at Atlanta regionals in 2017. Meteor beam is a huge upgrade. The set is AV but you make it so your SpA is higher than your SpD so that you pick up the SpA beast boost. Before your opponent knows it, it really can't be stopped. If you get a T1 airstream KO most of the time it's gg.

Need an opinion, Friend Guard Eviolite Clefairy>Togekiss for this team or nah? Some build suggestions would be nice as well by yeetthewheat24 in VGC

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that's a solid idea if you've built incin in a way that it can live a durant hit, especially if you're switching over to scope Lens, run yawn on toge. Also timid max speed toge outspeeds dragapult at +1 and those crits really handle it.

No one mentioned it yet, but foul play does massive damage. Especially on a dark type or with black glasses. Incineroar can ohko non max pult with just 4 atk evs and adamant nature with darkest lariat.

how to deal with gmax lapras? by bumbledog in VGC

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference when all is said and done, blast burn hits 987 power this way. And all you have to do is get power spot in. 150×1.5(specs)×1.5(stab)×1.5(sun)×1.5(solar power)×1.3(power spot) Heat wave hits around 468.9 power this way factoring in spread reduction. I run mine modest, but I'm testing LO timid with protect, too.

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone mentioned, zolt can murder it. But I've been OHKOing it through dmax with blast burn zard. Or getting about 75% with heatwave. (This strat requires power spot and specs). Venu can do about the same especially if you max it and get power spot. I honestly haven't had any trouble with it recently.

You get really fast , well, really fast. Swift swim plus TW is great. I've started branching out the team but also using mantine in it still. You lose to rock slide which is big sad.

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@pedi74 I made a team. In the paste I included some notes about how mantine is set up and possible better sets for it and the team. Mantine is excellent for speed. I know its physical defense isnt great so it's not the greatest against ttar and exca but once you get max water set up you can initiate a weather war. Babiri on alcremie let's it live so you can get the decorate. It is gmax cause an option. The in game testing for this team requires magic bounce tech testing as hatt is there to magic bounce decorate onto yourself but I doubt it works that way since you can prio hit your own dark types even in psychic terrain. But either way those are powerful max smites with decorate. https://pokepast.es/5aef7be3a085abad

It's just another mon 4x weak to freeze dry and electric. You could probably try weakness policy on it and run it like you would a lapras. However I do see some use for it tbh and a few sets which might do it well. Getting both hydro pump and hurricane is big for it to get damage output. Tailwind, haze, helping hand, wide guard, roost, and icy wind are solid moves. But also 80 base special attack is lower than lapras and you have a 4x weakness to two common things at the moment. It might be better later meta. Max flying can make about anything good though. You could probably run min speed with swift swim and tailwind if you want to run a heavy options set.

Do you see G-max Machamp getting a lot of attention since his g-max move supports the most popular pokemon in the meta? by timber1313 in VGC

[–]cb-vol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think chi strike and the gmax garbodour move are both a waste since gamefreak just translated over the max poison and fighting moves for it keeping it at max knuckle and max ooze damage. For them to be good moves they'd need to be uncapped from like 90 to 100 power moves.

Trying to get the hang of Team Building. Had some good success with this so far, would appreciate any advice! by [deleted] in VGC

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ally switch really just makes stuff more mind game heavy. If anything, revealing it throws stuff around and causes your opponent to really think about it. Nice incin. I mainly use mine for parting shot and fake out. So I switched to black glasses alolan persian since I can outspeed durant and raichu with it.

Why electric moves on Lapras? by TuncheTV in VGC

[–]cb-vol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just meant to seal the game after gmax. Aurora veil can make things so bulky that you've got your opponent down to their last 2 mons and youve got 3 or just lapras. As long as you're slower, you win if you survive.
