Just imagine that feeling when you see Moody raise evasion or a OHKO move hits a huge threat.
>>
>>23053495
And to think there are people (albeit very very few) on /vp/ RIGHT NOW who think any of it is okay. I mean, shoot, Smogon deserves at least a little of the shit they get but at least they balanced the game

Fuck off, even VGC players see shit like Moody and Minimize as complete faggotry

Clearly you haven't faced anyone who plays like this.
>>
>>23053741
Never had to face OHKO, but I've twice had to fight someone who was using Double Team/Minimize. The Double Team guy was attempting to baton pass it, but RNG blessed me enough to kill it beforehand.
>>
>>23053762
Yeah that's the thing, you fool. You had to be blessed by RNG to actually land the hit. If you missed you probably would've lost.
>>
>>23053762
I was Horn Drilled by a dirty Jap player a few days ago.

Still won, but it would have been a clean 3-0.
>>
>>23053433
why are nips such shit players?
>>
>>23053714
Wrong. VGC uses Moody on literally every Smeargle.
Minimize is just not used very often, because the Pokémon who get it are mostly pretty slow, so you can easily double target that slot and get an easy 1-hit K.O. And even after a Minimize boost you still have a higher chance to K.O. the Minimized mon than it evading your moves.

Do you mean disconnect?

I'm more confused over the guy switching back and forth. Did he not like his traced Moody lowering Gardevoir's special attack or something?

i actually made a moddy stall sheer cold glalie shortly after xy came out. i always win with it because after a few moody boosts and me using sheer cold, succcesfully or failing the oponent dc's/

get rekt smogon retards

>>23054074
Not a smogonfag, but getting fucked over by RNG bullshit doesn't constitute being "rekt" by the opponent.
>>
>>23054029
Just kill yourself
>>
>>23054087
RNG is essential part of this game. Abusing RNG to win is a legit strategy. The end justifies the means.
>>
>>23054140
Soul dew is apart of the game and is banned from essentially every format, why shouldn't i be allowed to use it?
>>
>>23054148
because devs said so.
If Gamefreak says that I can't use moody anymore I'll accept it.
>>
>>23054140
>Abusing RNG to win is a legit strategy
There's no strategy to it, it's literally relying on blind luck.
>>23054172
Just because you can use something doesn't mean you should. If you want a have a fun battle with your friend and if you pull shit like boosting evasion, you're gonna have one less friend.
>>
>>23054148
I can take a gun, kill your parents and fuck both corpses, but I shall not, see?

>there is no strategy in gambling

you're a fucking idiot
>>
>>23054253
Can I point you to a dictionary? Do you even know what gamble means? It means to bet on an UNCERTAIN outcome. Strategy implies you at least have some direct control over the situation and can plan your actions.
You're the fucking idiot.
>>
>>23054297

it's called working the odds you shithead. how the fuck do you think professional gambling works?
>>
>>23054342
It just doesn't
>>
>>23054342
This is fucking Pokemon, not professional gambling. Battles are supposed to be first and foremost contests of skill, not luck, and rightfully so.
>>
>>23053819
Oh that sucks. Had an American player whiff three Sheer Colds with Primal Kyogre. Then he got Thunder'd
>>
>>23053786
Not saying that I'm for having to fight against it, but I'm just glad I shut it down both times it actually happened to me. The second time was while I was dicking around with a Simple Stored Power Swoobat.
>>
>>23054362

>supposed to be

luck is still a factor. the game is constructed in such a way that you can choose to rely heavily on luck. but it's not slots, you still have enough control to increase your odds of payoff. in his case, he chooses which moves to use, or whether to switch, depending on the outcome of moody. there is strategy involved.
