  1. If anything, I would go for a ban on King's Shield. That move is the main reason Aegislash is so hard to contest. But i vote NO BAN. The prediction mindgames are fun, and you can always simply NOT USE A CONTACT MOVE or a move that otherwise bypasses KS. Earthquake, Thousand Arrows, HyperSpace Fury, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, Fire Blast, Sucker Punch, the Z moves, WoW, Taunt... And you can easily wall him once you learn his coverage move (Iron Head->go for normal/dark types, Sacred Sword->go for fairy types) PLus, being monotype, it's easy to narrow down who will try to come in and cover Aegislash. Greninja is overrated. Hard to send in, even harder to kill anything against a competent opponent unless you got mono-type disadvantage in which case you are generally completely screwed anyway... PD: LOL. Greninja has EXACTLY the same number of votes for the three options with 12 each at this moment...
  2. Forum Name: SJMisteryPreferred Character: (which character would you want the most.) : Corrin (F), Hoshidan NobleLeast preferred Character: RinkahFavorite Fire Emblem Character/Characters: Too many to list.Your Favorite Fire Emblem Class/Classes: Any class with healing staves. Especially Hoshidan Noble, Butler/Maid or Bride.
  3. Volt Switch Magearna is asking for a Dugtrio to kill her. Watch the EVs to ensure it won't OHKO with Earthquake even with a boosting item.
  4. I wokd recommend U-turn on Tapu Koko instead. It may get handy to get out of a Dugtrio with an intact Noobsash. By the way, that Scizor won't do crap to Tapu Lele with HP fire. The terrain will block the Bullet Punch.
  5. MMM, I would like to contribute with my easy access to old gen pokemon, and get some events I missed, in particular the latest Anniversary pókemon (on ORAS if possible) every megastones that has been/will be released as an even via code (I can never enter those damn things correctly) or VCG tournaments that I have less than zero interest in.
  6. If we should get rid of one staller, it should be the combination of Eviolite+Chansey. Mega Sableye can be taken down by indirect status like Scald's burns or Sludge Bomb's poison. But Chansey can undo in 1-2 turns all damage caused to the team, and can consistenly make any special attacker unusable. Chansey is even more centralizing than Aegislash, if you think about it. But I recommend to simply pack your own cleric and a strong wallbreaker that can consistently threaten Sableye, Skamory AND Chansey. EDIT: and why you MUST only have to have generation 6 or 7 pokemon? why are things like Defog Empoleon disallowed?
  7. VERY interesting. I would love to help in every possible way. I miss having our own tiers a lot. But if you ask me, the Metagrossite is totally overrated, it does not deserve a ban at all. And... would a forum vote about wether allowing Pheromosa, Greninja, Tapu Lele, Genesect, Landorus (both forms) and Aegislash or leaving them banned be outside the question? I personally have serious doubts on them being banned. In a perfect scenario, I would split Ubers for those dudes, for Shadow Tag and Arena Trap, and for anything else we end up having to boot out of Reborn OU, in particular, U-turn that is in my opinion the main reason Pheromosa and Landorus are so annoying and the main reason Shadow Tag and Arena Trap are so potent in this generation. But as long as we get a metagame gets decent, I totally won't complain.
  8. fortunately, my FCorrin has enough defenses and speed to take even some dragon-slaying weapons like the Falchion, who she has WTA against. And if the dragon slayer has WTA agaisnt my FCorrin, then it's generally easy prey for my Lucina.
  9. I prefer Femui for the Blue Weapon spot. A mixed wall, a debuffer, an automatic rally bot and a reasonably strong magic attacker all in one. Also, as a healer, literally everything works. I am still going with Wrys and he does not dissapoint.
  10. Try giving her money. In Fire Emblem it usually does the trick, it might work in Reborn too.
  11. I wanna join. But... How do I look at my ID? By the way, pleaase don't rage at my Corrin, Ephraim and Lucina. Yes, I am a lucky asshole. No, I didn't pay anything to get them.
  12. Welcome, goodbye, and I hope some of the new auths are into competitive. That section has gone downhill lately.
  13. Well, I was mostly thinking on Slowbro on Trick Room but I guess nobody likes him... There is also always using Ice attacks, which by the way I am surprised they don't affect this field considering the cold is lethal against flowers.
  14. I would love to contribute to those, especially to tournaments. Competitive play used to be the main reason I joined Reborn back in BW. I prefered the centralized metagame that we had on our server, and honing my skills against things like Genesect, Chandelure, Blaziken, Kingdra and Excadrill allowed me to find my true playstyle... ah, the good old days.
  15. Except the ones that have access to Fire attacks...
  16. Well, there is always sending NOT broken mons on those releases, but instead releasing more common pokemon but with unusual Egg Moves, Hidden Abilities, or Shinies. Something similar to the ORAS Pokegear's pokemon radar function, with the level of the pokemon being dependant on the badges you have to prevent problems, with about half to 75% the maximum level permitted until we get the desobedience problems being a reasonable margin.
  17. I suggest a lead with Stealth Rock. Boldore learns it by level and has Sturdy to guarantee you the setup regardless of his level, if you want to go for it.
  18. On Sardenya, a pizza composed of hamburguer, fried potatoes and ketchup, and another made of pepper. Trust me, both were DISGUSTING.
  19. Yup, I mean that card. And the problem is that sometimes, people keeps drawing the games longer and longer even when it's absolutely clear they will loose just for the sake of boring the opponent and try if they will eventually have to go out and ragequit, or if the game is timed, try to wait to see if they can get their opponent to get distracted and win by a timeout even when they can clearly finish you off in a few turns, something that actually was common in chess until it was outlawed. THAT is what I mean by stalling.
  20. Don't worry, I won't go roast you because you are right on what you said, it's just that you didn't understand well what I meant with rules 2 and 4: I mean with rule 2: Being able to consistently eliminate skill as a factor on the game, simply by repeteadly using a luck-based attack or strategy (AKA Swagger Kefki or Double Team) until you luck out. A good example of what I mean and I wish programmers made sure to code against, is this: Concretely, what happened on 7:55 Got a 2 stock advantage, yet the Greninja looses simply because his opponent got incredibly lucky. And, who has not lost a game simply because the tank you sent to receive around 5% damage from an Ice Beam got frozen? In a card game, of course there must be an inherent luck factor as the cards are supposed to be shuffled around by your opponent precisely to prevent cheating. But if, let's say, a card that gave you insta-win was allowed (and it used to be many, the most well known being Last Turn), the game would be reduced to who draws it first. What I mean, is that randomness, while unavoidable even on apparently deterministic games like chess (you will never know if the opponent will miss a mate, or if he overlook a piece and that attack he is decimating you could have been stopped, or even how will he open up the game), it should be limited enough to allow both players at least a decent way to control it. The fourth point was confusing, I admit: What i mean is that the player at least SHOULD be able to have room to cover for any relevant threat. In other words, the game should never be won or lost from the very beggining, simply because you didn't have room to include an answer to every common threat. I am the first that likes to see unexpected threats or even surprise-reliant strategies, but let's say, loosing to Medicham Mega simply because including a Gengar meant you have to remove Keldeo and loose to dragon dance Mega Tyranitar instead, that sucks. I agree with stalling not always being bad, in many games, it IS the best way to win, if you have a good lead, or if all that stops you from winning is the enemy Quagsire that walls you, but has only 36 PP on his attacks, while you have 60 to spare. What I mean, is intentionally drawing the game longer and longer for the sake of making it longer, in hope the opponent will eventually misplay. The most obvious analogue is the now-banned card that reset the entire game. As long as you keep drawing it, nobody can win, allowing you to try again and again until you get a favorable enough position that your opponent won't be able to reset. And thanks to you both. It's been a while since I got a GOOD competive discussion outside of the Smash forums
  21. It's basically three diferent games. I liked the story of Revelations, and "pay to win...". That's only if you are incredibly bad at planning the strategy or you are playing Lunatic on the early game, wich I admit is too brutal for it's own good. But, that's the Easy Seize castles giving you an early Replicate Avatar (or absolutely broken Einherjar units if you really suck at the game) are for. Birthright does not require strategy only if you carry Ryoma, and that also applies to Xander in Conquest. If there is one thing that everybody agrees about Fates is that the five legendary weapons and their respective owners are absolutely broken. which is why I wish they had coded in "bronze weapon variants" for all four, not only the fujin yumi. (On the prologue, Takumi's Fujin is half as strong and cannot crit. I would have done something similar for all four weapons when you get them, and give the player the upgraded versions only after they share their power with the Yato on the Rainbow Sage chapter and the endgame)
