Why the heck is fighting not very effective against flying?

Have you ever tried to punch a bird?
Have you ever tried to punch a bird?
>>337007261
You try punching a bird mid flight and tell me how it goes
Try punching a bird and see how that works out.
>>337007261
You ever tried to karate chop a bird? Fuckers won't stay still.
Mac ain't no air fighter
Have you ever tried to kick a bird?
>>337007261
have you ever tried punshing a bird op?
semi-pro vale tudo discipline here i have a phobia of birds
They have the high ground

>>337007319
>>337007309
>>337007305
memes aside, this argument suggests only that you can't hit a bird in the first place
the problem in pokemon is that fighting moves regularly DO hit flying pokemon, they just do shit all
You ever martial arts a bird?
>>337007403
That's because every flying type is part normal.
Have you ever tried to fug a bird?
Have you tried to throw a fit against a bird OP?
>>337007403
the damage received was from the stress the bird put on his muscles from dodging your attack too fast
>>337007403
Because birds are fast and you are likely hitting with less force and concentration than you would if it was an enemy on the ground since you're focusing yourself on making it land in the first place.
Why isn't Normal neutral towards and against everything?
>>337007403
>punch bird
>it flies backwards all flapping and squawking and shit
>unable to land solid damage
>>337007261
does anyone think picture ass?
>>337007467
>>337007531
but birds have brittle little hollow bones
it doesn't TAKE much to fuck one up bigtime
Have you ever tried to fuck a bird?
>>337007513
>by being skilled at nothing i should be pro at everything
how the jack of all trades life treating you
>>337007610
Nigga did I say Super Effective towards everything?
>>337007586
But these are magical fictional birds. The irony being the ones made of steel and rock are more susceptible to punches.
>>337007513
try hitting a rock or steel plate without martial-arts knowledge
try getting punched by a fighter
try touching a ghost
>>337007691
>try touching a ghost
GHOST HANDJOB
WOOOWOOOWOOOOO
>>337007592
>That video of a guy fucking a chicken
How come flying types aren't weak to rape?
>>337007586
The defense stat represents that stuff
>>337007691
Then try getting burned
Try getting electrocuted
Try getting drowned
Why aren't fire, electric and water super effective to Normal types then?
>>337007691
>try touching a ghost
So you mean those ghost blowjobs /vg/ talked about were just a meme?
>>337007440
>>337007592
>>337007738
>those harpy sprite gifs
>>337007738
They are weak against electricity
Just like how shocked that chicken was by rape
>>337007586
It's hard to aim accurately at stuff flying eight meters above the ground.
>>337007880
>>337007813
I'm normal so I get normal strength burned. I'm not a fighter so I get extra fucked by a fight, though.
>>337007880
>Just like how shocked that chicken was by rape
>>337007738
Because they actually enjoy it.
>>337007261
>why is fighting not very effective against flying
Why are Dark types weak against Bugs?
Don't they like taking POZ LOADS or something?
>>337008067
Because they figured bug has to be strong against SOMETHING
>>337008060
Banned for a reason

lel
>>337008067
it's insect related decease fucking up africa?
>>337008067
dark is all about outsmarting and tricking the enemy
bugs don't give a fuck about all that, you try tricking your way out of a swarm of wasps
>>337008067
Because bugs can see fine in the dark.
Alternatively.
Bugs are neutral and evil has no affect on them.
Alternatively.
For balance reasons and basically nothing else.
>>337008225
>implying I'm referring to the manga and not the vidya on /v/
I wonder, psychic being super effective to poison, whats the reasoning behind that?
>>337008268
You can trick bees by hiding in water though.
>>337008201The Die Young vid was great, shame Vivzie fucking ruined her own comic though
>>337008368
it's not really tricking them, because they know exactly where you are, they just cant follow you
>>337008368
thats less tricking and more "bees can't touch you in water", and they're chill out enough they fly away if you're out of sight
>>337008442
Why don't they wait for you to come out and then fuck you up then?
>>337008471
don't killer bees do exactly that?
besides the purpose of bees flying after you is to get you the fuck away from their nest, not to kill you
if you're hiding in a pond or river well, mission accomplished, good job folks
>>337008471
because they have bee things to do and they can't sit there forever
they'll hover over the water for a fair while but eventually they have to get back to beesiness
Bigger question is, why is electric not weak to water?
>>337008365
I imagine it's hard to poison a guy who can read your mind
>dragon is weak to dragon
>>337008605
because water conducts electricity and thus water is super effective against it?
that said though why isn't steel weak to electricity?
>>337008605
i think the bigger problem with the water/electric dynamic is that theres no distinction between fresh and saltwater pokemon
you can shock the shit out of animals in freshwater but trying to shock a bunch of saltwater aint gonna do shit
>>337008707
Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own and the dragons were no more
*Huo hu huo hu hi hi hi*
>>337008707
You know exactly why
>>337007691
> Touching a ghost is out of the question.
> But biting one is perfectly fine.
>>337008953
>not eating ghosts
Casual.
>>337008953
bite was a normal move during gen 1, blame whoever made that change
>Ground and rock are separate types
If each had a niche I'd understand, but rock is just major suckage all around.
>>337009140
rock is supposed to be the defensive type with earth is the offensive type
>>337008707
>dragon tries to masturbate
>dick starts to bleed
>>337009193
Yeah, just like Ice is supposed to be defensive right?
>>337009193
Is that why rock is weak to like 5 most common attack types?
>>337007586
See I actually have a case to put forward against this
Look at Skarmory. Steel/flying, so it's normally affected by fighting. You'd think the steel would protect him more, but he takes more damage because he's heavier, he takes the hits full-on because he doesn't have a body as light as the other flying types (who can either fly backwards to take less damage or are already light enough to not get affected as much).
So why does ice beat ground?
>>337009383
Permafrost
>>337009383
Does it? Always thought it was the other way around.
>>337009263
Ice is the offensive glass cannon though
>>337009383
Freeze thaw cracking
>>337008581
Killer bees do that because because they're beyond wasp-tier angry all the time.
>>337007402
What did he mean by this?
>>337009208
So that's why they fuck cars
>>337009471
Ice can freezethaw ground, but rock is too strong so it's super effective against ice (also for the same reason fighting beats ice, it's just stronger)
What's the reasoning behind fairy strengths and weaknesses?
Why the fuck is fire effective against steel?
>Fire is effective against steel
>Steel melts at fucking 1500ºC
>Fire is not effective against flying
>FLYING, animals with fucking FEATHERS that can burn with a fucking spark.
>>337007261
just counter xF
>>337010106
Steel transmits heat quite well, so their outer shell heats up and damages the squishy internals.
>>337010106
Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams, but it does heat it enough to make it warp/buckle
I forgot I was in /v/ for a moment
>>337010309
no
why can't ghost attack normal types?
makes zero sense
>>337010517
normies do not believe in ghosts
>>337010106
Fairies and weapons covered in magic are used to beat dragons, also spells to render dragon attacks useless
Good fairies don't tolerate evil and use their magic to dispel it
Even the strongest man can't do anything against magic
Poison is often used in stories to weaken or kill fairies and magic creatures. Also a shoutout to man killing nature
Steel represents weapons used by knights to kill fairies or magic creatures. In the end magic has to submit. Also a shoutout to man killing nature
Fire resists it because FUCK fairies, also fires usually ruin their place
They resist bug because FUCK bugs.
>>337010106
Couldn't Charizard literally melt a mountain
>>337010374
fine :c
>>337010585
Speaking of this, does anyone have those ms paint drawings where a guy observes Pokemon and then greatly exaggerates them using lines from Pokedex entries?
>>337011107
no but have a fusion
>>337011383
it's all good, I found them
Muhammad Ali once lost a prize fight against a promoter's parakeet that would fly around, shit and sing loudly in the locker room before every match. The humiliation of this defeat was what many said lead to Ali's devotion to Islam. The typing between Flying and Fighting in Pokemon is a reference to this legend.
>>337008368
Fuck you and your water
>>337010573
Fairy is weak to Steel because in Irish mythology fairys could only be killed with iron.
>>337013641
Why the fuck isn't dragon weak to steel? Dragons were often slain by swords and lances and the like.
>>337007305
Yes? I once punched a chiken. Pretty sure she died.
>>337017295
>expecting a FLIGHTLESS bird to be flying type
Come on, Anon.
>>337008796
That's backwards -- pure water is a poor conductor, while saltwater (and tap water) carry free ions
>>337017515
Obligatory
>bug is resistant to fighting
If you punch a bug, it'll probably be dead.
>>337011467
>He was as fast as one too...
>>337017915
How big of a bug? Also you are moire likely to hurt yourself trying
fuck birds
>>337018659
Did PETA get upset with this?
>Normal isn't a neutral match-up with every type
>That aside, its one weakness is Fighting for some reason
>>337019068
have you every tried to punch a human? They get hurt
>>337009383
Water gets in the cracks in the ground, then freezes causing it to expand and breaks the ground.
Did you even go to highschool anon?
>>337019297
Hitting them with a metal pipe hurts them more as my broken nose will tell you, but normal isn't weak to steel.
>>337019068
Normal should be super effective against fairy
>>337019297
Have you ever tried to burn a human? They get hurt.
Have you ever tried to electrocute a human? They get hurt.
Have you ever tried to stab a human with a metal knife? They get hurt.
See, you could say Normal is weak to everything if you go with that logic.
>>337019068
If all you knew were the names of the types, which one seems like it'd come out ahead?
>>337019896
Dragon. Duh.
>>337020003
I meant between normal and fighting, anon.
Plus, Steel beats Dragon.
>>337020095
Okay, but between Dragon and Normal, Dragon would come out ahead, so why isn't Dragon super-effective against Normal?
>>337020095
That guy look bored fighting that dragon.
Why are ghosts weak to dark? Nigger they ARE the dark.
>>337020610
they are afraid of darkness
>>337020168
>>337019765
Balance issues :^)
>>337007403
Flying type is more of a combination between Wind and Bird.
So like, wind resistance and difficulty fighting birds and shit
>>337017915
Yeah, because you're much bigger than it.
Try punching a bug as big as you.
>>337020875
If water types are weak to electricity because of conduction, why aren't steel types weak to it as well?
>>337021401
I like to think Water refers to the creatures that live in water, rather than the water itself.
If anything, Steel should resist or outright nullify Electric damage
