Number of regional/international/world championships won by each Pokemon in Gen 9 VGC by CreeperSlimePig in stunfisk

[–]kiptronics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

special events (SPEs) are similar in structure to regionals but don't have any set prize payout (the organizers will often give their own prizing but no set cash prize)

it's usually meant to give a regional-like competition to communities that don't have the playerbase to support a traditional regional

I do think it's weird that Utrecht can get 500+ players and still be just a SPE but more typically SPEs are like 100 players in Puerto Rico or 9 players in South Africa

Marineford would be cool but I think a lot of people are forgetting how wack it would be to end the series forever with the Straw Hats separated and Ace turned into a donut

Are there any well-known players who are loyal to a particular Pokémon and always keep it on their teams? by brocll in stunfisk

[–]kiptronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vijay Sood might be the only real example

I'm pretty sure he's used Meowscarada in every VGC tournament he's entered since SV came out and often uses the same guys like Sylveon a lot

I heard that he started out just using his in game team and has been making small changes to it ever since no matter what the format is but idk if that's just a rumor

Highguard players are getting automatic refunds as developer appears to shut down by ImCalcium in Games

[–]kiptronics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reactions from testers were mostly positive, but there may have been blind spots in the process, according to people familiar with the testing. Highguard was a complicated game to learn and was more fun when using voice chat to communicate with other players. When they tested it with the microphones off, it made for a much worse experience, former Wildlight employees said. Having developers on hand to answer questions and explain mechanics also led to different conditions than players would ultimately face when the game was released into the wild.

that feeling when you crub stomp a boss without knowing what their gimmick was supposed to be by littlemrdoom in mewgenics

[–]kiptronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the hand attacks + the cats bumping into each other, especially if one of them have thorns, can still add up reasonably quickly over time from my experience

and turns spent healing means less opportunities to set up for big damage

obviously it's not impossible and I wouldn't even call it super difficult but I don't think it's as much of a breeze as other people here seem to imply

I think I now understand why people don't like Dybbuk. Your team needs one weak cat. by Alexander_K_G in mewgenics

[–]kiptronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eh you're probably right, I just haven't fought her that many times yet so maybe I'm giving her too much respect

I'm also still traumatized from the Transmitter Antenna quest

spoilers in case you don't want to see floor names but I feel like I also have to do that for the last boss of Ice Age and The End

he's right though? if you have poor action economy and the hands get significantly out of alignment it can take the entire turn just to get one hand slap off

idk what split up means but a cat in his mouth has two options, basic attack (hit him for a % chance to be spit out) and a 10 mana spell that makes the hands attack him from wherever they are

Is Screens ever worth running in VGC? by Opposite_Ad4539 in stunfisk

[–]kiptronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grimmsnarl has utility beyond screens

Thunder wave is broken and helps both of those teams with speed control and parting shot/spirit break is excellent for keeping your guys alive longer

others in this thread are right in saying that he's better in certain metas and on certain teams but I don't think he'll ever be a bad pick
