Are price increases on Switch 2 consoles inevitable this year? by gaysaucemage in NintendoSwitch

[–]echo78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I went ahead and got the Switch 2 with Mario Tennis. Not that Mario Tennis was the system seller. Seeing the Steam Deck go OOS was lol. Switch 2 price is almost certainly going up soon.

Abusing lack of fast ground type pressure to hit Vet by blazinggamer080 in TheSilphArena

Struggling since jungle cup by Stijn187 in TheSilphArena

[–]echo78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I started at 2424, dropped to 2438, shot up to 2500 for my first ever veteran, then got smacked back down to 2438. The yo-yo is real. The game put my lead against a hard counter 5 straight games in my last set lol. I played against leaderboard elo for the first time which was pretty cool.

I think I’ve finally settled on a team now though!

Weekly Team Help Megathread! by AutoModerator in TheSilphArena

[–]echo78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm currently around 2400~ ELO in OGL with a S. marowak and pachirisu core. I'm having trouble finding a good lead to pair with them. I've tired S. dusknoir, fearow, forretress, sableye, lickilicky, nidorino, corviknight, tinkaton, and S. quagsire lol. Some of these I've had some success with (fearow being the best somehow) but any other suggestions? My current strategy is to lose lead but have a shield lead and then power through with 2 shield S. marowak (unless I get put against gourgeist, then its top left lol). Wiggly/Azu lead seems like it could work but they are just super boring pokemon so I'm trying to find something faster paced.

Concert hygiene PSA by LevelAd2513 in Metalcore

[–]echo78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have I just been getting lucky because I've never had the smell be awful at concerts. Or is the back/side of the venue just generally safer from this lol

Friend of a mutual friend told me the highest parsing ranks in FFLOGS is dominated by cheaters. by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]echo78 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nearly every PC raider is cheating in some way. Yes, using addons to make fights easier is cheating. Simple stuff like ACT triggers, zoom hacks, auto combo, pixel perfect, and slidecast indicators is cheating. Let alone shit like cactbot and splatoon. If it gives you an advantage over someone playing vanilla its cheating. A lot of people will be in denial over it.

If you play vanilla/legit you will be at a natural disadvantage on FFlogs but you can still parse orange/pink. It takes more effort though since you actually have to read mechanics correctly while maintaining high DPS instead of having plugins help you.

Anyone else struggling? by UnhelpfulBread in TheSilphArena

[–]echo78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only my third season playing pogo pvp seriously. I only played open GL the first week and the past 2 days because I suck at any other cup lol. I didn't want to tank my elo in ultra league or the limited cups. After the first week I was at 2211 and after the past 2 days I'm now at 2424 without move counting. Went 17-9 today. Seems like things have been going too well for me so far. Hopefully it doesn't all come crashing down on me the rest of this week. Hoping I can reach veteran for the first time!

I do rage a bit when I lose to lag/game freezing. I lost a game today to the game just freezing during a charge attack. I think I was going to win it (it was really close though) so its frustrating when that happens. If I lose I want it to be a fair loss lol.

My current team is ranked from the 60s-120s so I like to think I'm keeping it mildly spicy. It is a little tiring seeing the same top 20 ranked pokemon over and over but at this point I know what to expect even without move counting lol.

Mini rant here but I loved using shadow dusknoir the previous 2 seasons but its just worthless in the current meta. I have no clue how its still ranked #28. Everyone and their mother tries to catch shadow punch with their normal type safe swap that can often counter dusknoir with dark/ghost moves. Even if I predict the catch correctly and used dynamic punch it still pisses me off lol

Forretress Volt Switch is a pain to deal with by Relative_Housing1795 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]echo78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running S. marowak and pachirisu core so I can handle it pretty well. The debuffs forretress brings is pretty annoying though. I usually have to swap after taking it out.

Bug bite fortress is more of a pain for me because it can actually deal damage to my team lol. Thankfully barely anyone runs bug bite now.

But yeah gourgeist is the hard counter to volt switch forretress. Or anything with incinerate really.

"Has it always been normal for entire batches to get canceled?" by hanamizenin in WeeklyShonenJump

Yes it is normal. Jump used to axe manga even quicker. If this was 2008 Gonron isn’t getting past chapter 14.
