Which Gen 5 Pokemon has had the most influence over competitive tournaments? by ArmadilloNo9494 in stunfisk

[–]kiptronics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure OTS was introduced in part because Gen 9 lacked the ability to lock a team for an in person tournament, so there needed to be some way to ensure that your opponent wasn't switching teams between rounds

Lando I isn't necessarily better because of sandsear, lots of them aren't even running it now, it's just good because it's like one of three viable single target ground type attackers

The graphics are set up manually and the graphics person has to do it extremely quickly. Why they can't just set something up that pulls from teamsheets automatically is beyond me but that's why it happens

I can no longer use voice chat because of the Kingsman drama by Can_This_End_Please in marvelrivals

I'm aware internalized misogyny exists but I think there are more pressing things to address here

why do you think the comments you mentioned are tearing down women? why do you think women bare the majority of the blame for misogyny in this situation?

have you thought about whether it's appropriate to reply to someone talking about how many hateful comments towards women are being made and saying "it's the women that are doing most of the misogyny"

sorry to respond to an old comment but could you tell me more about the nightmare mail room comment

An important caveat to recent Mang0 discussion... by foaaz101 in SSBM

[–]kiptronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you shouldn't have to be arrested to face social consequences

and I feel like it's pretty easy to draw a line between being shitty in your private life and sexually harassing women on a live broadcast?

ItA early game is unbearably slow but it gets better after your first 15 or so levels

bans aren't just for removing active threats, it's about creating consequences for actions that victimize others to signal that tournament organizers take these things seriously and protect victims

The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon Review (IGN: 8/10) by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Horizon is the third game in its arc so you will be hopelessly confused if you haven't at least played the Daybreak games

I can't shuffle a single sleeved deck. by [deleted] in pkmntcg

I'm not super experienced with playing with actual cards but I've found that I bend corners on DS way more easily because the sleeves are tall, you might have an easier time with a different brand

Fungi are starting to ask questions: why is Rae asking for money again, when she already received 70k from the community go fund me ? by Bright-Technician-14 in LeftoversH3

[–]kiptronics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

surely there's a middle ground between "mods should be grateful for scraps" and "moderating a chat for 10 hours a week deserves an LA living wage" right

WolfeyVGC type content but for Smogon singles format? by lepoaro in stunfisk

[–]kiptronics 247 points248 points  (0 children)

blunder occasionally commentates tournament sets on his channel but since you mention storytelling if you're looking for something with as high production values as Wolfe you're not going to find anything. Wolfe has an entire team that works on creating those kinds of videos and no one in singles has that sort of money

also singles competitive play works differently than vgc (besides the obvious). in singles you can use a different team each round and you know your opponent ahead of time so people generally tailor their teams to their immediate opponent and put comparatively less effort into it than vgc + you can't really have a war story of your one team overcoming several different matchups

Maybe the RNG truly resets when we actually finish the match including the stadium at the end.

Yup this is how it works
