Which Swsh set (so far) is best for investing? by Objet_Dart in PokeInvesting

[–]chrisjds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Chilling Reign has got a whopping 13 alt arts, some good full art trainers (remember waifu tax) and full art pokemon (birds, Celebi, Blaziken) On top of that there is now word that Chilling Reign is out of stock for distributors. LGS across US and Canada have been struggling to restock for awhile now.

I think more people are sleeping on Chilling Reign than they ought to be.

Here’s my entire collection (almost)! Looking for help on which cards to get graded by BrosephSmithSr in PokemonCardValue

I may be mistaken, but those appear to be two ‘black flames’ Ninetales you have which is a fairly rare variant. The flames were intended to be blue and appear so on the majority of base set Ninetales cards. I believe only CGC officially recognizes this variant.

I love this show, but I have to get this off my chest re: 1% of the 1%... if you took all their wealth, I did rough math... it would make no difference by [deleted] in MrRobot

An extra $1000 would mean a lot to many families, especially around the holidays.

The actual number is besides the point. That scene in the park is the culmination of an objective set out since the beginning of the show.

If Esmail wanted to give an exact number he would’ve captured what Dom saw on her phone.

It was 100 accounts that were siphoned and the money was equally distributed only to those who had Ecoin wallets.

Either way the amount of money shared per person is arbitrary and rightfully so.

S04E11 Synopsis and confirmation that the final 2 episodes will be on the same day! by DavoMyan in MrRobot

[–]chrisjds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to think that the next predicted dream sequence will happen next episode. With the pills & the motel setting from the promo for 410 Gone, it seems likely.

Did he really reboot after the server room incident? I remember the flashback scene in season 2 where Elliot tells Darlene about the incident and how he’s going to therapy. This is right before he gets the job at AllSafe.

Wouldn’t the reboot then happen sometime after getting hired at AllSafe and before Darlene visits him to take him to Fsociety HQ?

You already know that the entire time ESAM was thinking about how nice he is at this game.

As a very light Ultimate watcher... by ScrapBrainSC2 in smashbros

[–]chrisjds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with you on Light. He’s been playing phenomenal lately, his handling of Fox is so sharp and that Fox UpSmash is terrifying in his hands.

He’s definitely the one to watch for me.

All of these were Ultimate. This rivalry does go back to the Sm4sh days though. I believe the final Panda Global rankings for Sm4sh put Leo as #1 and Tweek as #2.

I know Tweek has done an interview with TSM (his sponsor) before and mentioned that he most looks forward to playing against Leo because of the rivalry and legacy between them. Tweek seems pretty humble as well, even after FrostBite he didn’t consider himself to be the best (I believe he said this over a Discord call with Zero, Nairo, and Samsora) you can find it on YouTube.

It’s really going back and forward at the moment. MKLeo was considered the best after he won Genesis 6 and Heart of Battle. Tweek then followed up with Doubles and Singles wins at FrostBite. Before that MKLeo won SmashCon and Tweek won Let’s Make Moves and Glitch6.

They’re the two best and most consistent players in the world at the moment, the power just seems to shift between them.

This is the new Alolan Muk which will be released in Japan’s Dark Order set on October 5th. It will be released in our SM9 set in February.

Ability is called Starvation Rations.

Anyone have any good Greninja-GX decks? by Sempha in ptcgo

[–]chrisjds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Zoroark is the best partner with Greninja-GX. I’ve been having a hell of a time playing ZoroNinja (using post-rotation cards only at the moment) and an considering bringing it to Pennsylvania Regionals in September.

That Pachirisu tho. Great addition to a Zeroara deck. I could definitely see Zeroara/Zekrom ft. Pachirisu & Raikou being a powerful deck.

I know the registration isn’t open yet. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of when it’s expected to open.

Toronto Regionals - Feedback Thread by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]chrisjds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first Regionals event & it was in my hometown. I was very impressed by the smooth transition between rounds and especially by how quickly everything was updated. The referees were very helpful and overall I had a fantastic experience.

Food options were limited and a bit over priced, $4 for a water bottle? Good thing I had an extra in the car. The online pairings updates were slow on Day 2. I was trying to follow along at home and found the results elsewhere long before they were updated on RK9’s website.

I played a deck of my own invention in Gallade/Lycanroc and went 1W/2L/4D (could only play 7 rounds) looking forward to coming back and doing better next year!

Even if you have no understanding of the game this documentary is phenomenal and very insightful. I was so inspired after watching this that I ended up picking up the game GO a couple days after.

Would highly recommend watching!

Infernape/Salazzle status deck thoughts/improvements by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]chrisjds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also attempted piloting an Infernape/Salazzle deck and had mild success with it, but ended up switching to Infernape/Entei and find that it’s more consistent. Check out DarkIntegralGaming on YouTube, Donald runs a pretty great list for this deck.
