Which Showdown avatars have you noticed are used almost exclusively by bad players? Conversely, which avatars tell you as soon as you see them that you're about to get your shit rocked?
>>26896442
What's showdown
>"Edgy" characters
>Male Protagonists
>Blue / Green
>Champions
>>26896442
I always used the hiker. I had a Ghetsis stint in late BW2, though. I imagine it makes me look like I don't know what I'm doing, but oh well.
Depends
I don't bother choosing a trainer
Every time I sign in they assign me a random trainer Sprite
>>26896442
I don't know about good or bad, but anyone using Brycenman is a total bro, and a comfy battle is about to ensue.
>Playing pokemon seriously on a simulator
>>26896442
When you see Grimsley, you just know you're gonna get your shit pushed in.
>>26896442
Unpopular gym leaders are usually good players in my experienceI use Janine myself, though I'm not very good really
>>26896442
All the Giovanni I've fought are either great players or absolutely terrible. No in-between.
>>26896442
There's no surefire good trainer but there are designated shitting avatars.
Red.
Any evil team leader.
Team rocket grunts.
Any champion.
Any gen V or gen I gym leader.
Benga.
The defaults to a lesser extent, when they're bad they're really bad.
The worst of the worst however is the ash avatar.
I go for the PI because the coin flip. I like to think it gives me luck
>>26896442
Mainstream characters = Bad players.
Hipster characters (i.e male Swimmer) = "Good" players.
Black characters with a question mark = Elder-God tier players. They will wrek your ass and will the World Championship every year.
I use the white battle subway guy
I haven't seen anybody else with a battle subway guy avatar
>>26896442
Cameraman. I use him, and I've never played another cameraman who didn't suck just as much as me.
I always pick the juggler, because of the gimmicky sets I use
>>26896884

>It took this fuck 3 switch outs to make it to BP machamp on a 1 hp vivillion
>>26896442
This one, because I'm the only one I've ever seen use it and I'm terrible at the game.
>>26896602
>>26896454
As someone who usesWallace, you are not incorrect.
>>26897014
Using metronome on a standard Clefable set isn't gimmicky, it's lame.
P cool otherwise, famalam.
>Not using Bug Catcher
>>26896454
I use male protag usually and im a massive scrub
this guy is pretty cute!
>>26897152
Yaaas Gaga!
No one likes Winona but me apparently.
>>26896442
I have never defeated a Ninja Boy.
>>26896442
I use Proton because the image is smug as fuck.
>>26897987
I like the gen 4 female veteran for this. Smug ass bitch.
I use Blaine, am I a faggot?
>new battle
>Janitor sprite
I like it
>>26897152
That's a woman, anon.
>>26897064
I use that avatar too.
I used Wattson for a while but I've switched to Juan now - Juan is more 2edgy5me but I like him
Bruno

Who else uses the Burglar?
>>26897014
>ur a fgt
>forfeit
kek
I use the cameraman or the fat firebreather most of the time.
INB4: Edgelord
At least it's not Red
Gen 5 youngster herebc i actually look like himI am somewhat decent
>>26896442
Cute!
>>26898243
My nigga
Is it edgy? Fucker has green hair for pete's sake
Gen 4 ace trainers were my favorites so I use that sprite
>He doesn't use Wattson
>>26898271
Is it Pete's sake or Pete sake? My friend keeps insisting that it's Pete sake but I've lived my entire life saying Pete's
I use this guy because my nickname is Kangh Zanshiet
This guy's my favorite, and most of the players I find using him are solid
>>26898267
gen 4 breeders are the best
>>26898105
>tfw use Janitor and am no good
>>26898293
It's "for Pete's sake."
>>26898320
I'm >>26898345 and I like your good taste, my nigga.
I hope to someday get around to really building my doubles team and getting decent.
I use gen v female ace trainer and gen iv battle girl and I've laddered to around 1900on monotype.
I like yellow
I've not played showdown in years but when I was addicted to it, no other sprite shined brighter than this nigga here
>>26898271
Well, it's not really edgy, but I felt like being preemptive about it.
As far as Randbats go, I peaked #1 before going to college and stop playing regularly. So we've had good Green-haired Ace Trainers at some point in time..
And screenshot to back it up.
For some reason this thing has just stuck with me, and I haven't seen anyone use it yet
I use the happy hiker
>>26898165
I use this on my alt, but my main is >>26898162
>>26898330
I use that one and the Gen V Breeder. And I'm shit.
DOOM IS IMPENDING
>>26898518
>having an alt on a simulator
for what purpose?
>>26898520
Eh I have him and I kick ass with on the monotype ladder
>>26898614
To preserve ranking on your main, test new sets on your alt. Also goof off on your alt.
I can't tell if it's a glitch or if literally everyone and their mother uses the Gen V protag sprites.
I exclusively use Ash.
>>26897152
shut the fr*ck off, nurusu!!!!!
I get scared when I see this one!!
>>26898873
elibump is a nigger
>>26898614
To fight noobs.
>>26898389
how do you get that one?
>>26898888
nice
>custom avatars
>>26898880
green lantern is literally the worst superhero
>>26898320
It's funny because he has a broom.
His goal is to sweep.
>>26898873
I'm afraid of traps too
Good/bad player
this avatar tells me the player is a strong-chinned normie
>>26898911
really, really bad player
this avatar means ez win
also /join showderp
>>26898911
The literal wildcard.
You can never predict how this fight will go.
I suspect this is edgy.
>>26898925
i've never seen anyone that has that avatar actually play a good match
i guess they'd be a wildcard because they're absolutely fucking trash to the point of picking random moves
an incorrigible hacker, literally can't not cheat
>showderp raid
Epic!
>>26898943
fuck you prismshank
>>26896490
why are you here?
every time i have fought someone with the aroma girl theyve sucked ass but anyone with this fucking clown avatar has won against me
>>26898313
You deserve a fucking medal for that, anon.
A motherfucking MEDAL.
>>26896451
(You)
You all have shit taste. Anyone who uses N,red,or Blue is usually a shitter
>>26899929
>Talks about shit taste
>Posts worst fucking breeding
Consider suicide
I use Blue because I'm a roleplaying shitter and I use his ingame team
I've literally only won two times
this faggot and cynthia sprite users are usually the worst
Super Nerd with Robo Pikachu is the best
Anyone who uses the male swimmer is a cool guy
the least edgy sprite
Most Reds seem like they're either new or casual when it comes to battling. Their teams generally consist of starters with questionable movesets.
I've seen a lot of good Fire breathers/Pokemaniacs.
Pic related is what I use.
>>26900344
Ma nigga
>>26897139
this desugi
Pretty much any generic trainer is alright in my book
What is the opinion on Hugh the Ragemaster?
>>26898153
>Juan
>edgy rather than flamboyant
I rarely hop on Showdown, but I tend to default to Juan, Wattson or some variant of the Gentleman. Usually the HGSS one.I'm generally terrible when it comes to team composition and stick to random.
I use Wallace because he's my fav gym leader
>>26899929
>tfw using Blue and destroying mods and voices
It pisses them off so much
>>26896805
>Hipster characters
>Male swimmers
Y-you take that back!
Alder users always bring the hype.
also where the fuck are the RSE May sprites
>>26898898
/avatar #yellow
I use Indiana Jones because my teams usually include shit like Volcarona, Claydol or Bronzong. Sometimes I even use Unowns.
I suck at battling anyway, might as well have fun with my faves.
>>26902937
Showdown is for good players.
Why don't you go play the actual games and shit things up there faggot?
>>26902950
>Showdown is for good players
>>26902950
>Showdown is for good players.
Are you trying to turn this into a thread where people spam anime reaction images at you for 200 posts?
>>26902950
why dont you just cry?
>>26898873
>harumonia will NEVER come back
underrated protag best protag
The cutest costum avatar, superb battles guaranteed.
>>26899024
Because he likes playing pokemon?
I wish I was a better player so I could do him justice.
>>26902950
You're cute anon, you know that?
Since I moved in Grenoble (which is a city surrounded by mountains) I've been using the hiker avatar (in french, hiker is translated into "mountain man"). I kept it because he's got a fabulous beard.
>>26897064
There's this guy higher up on the ladder with this avatar that I've played a bunch who ALWAYS brings stall and just destroys me or makes me quit out of frustration
I use cheren bc he a cutie. I win like 60 40 so im not that good
>>26896805
>Hipster characters (i.e male Swimmer)
fuck off faggot
>>26902950
kek
I just go to NU and screw around casually with shitmons
it's really fucking fun, you should try it sometime anon
>>26902950
>no fun allowed
>>26902950
>>26899031
I use the clown, and I'm decent at best.
I have always used and will always use the BW scientist. Does that say anything about me?
And female BW scientist is the cutest.
>>26896442
I use the tuber and very rarely the guitarist, but for the tuber, I have a mixed win and lose rate
>>26907430
Pretty good but Cinnabar Gym scientist is better
I always the snow Ace Trainer from Sinnoh
The rich girls always wreck my shit
>>26896805
Seconding the elder god part. Didn't the guy who won devoted Phoenix a shitton when it started use that?
