[xDD-Master]

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I've always loved Arcanine. Back in the day when I still played Pokemon competitively I always tried to implement it into my teams [on NetBattle] but it just sucked so much, that you just couldn't use it -.-

Is it any good now?

 

[Staco]

In Star Wars some people call Anakyn Any and so I thought about also calling Anaky that way. xD

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Nope, Arcanine is UnderUsed tier.

 

[Lord Chair]

Extremespeed.

Is so garbage.

It was the only reason I leveled the **** thing, I called him after my dog. When he finally got the move, I released him out of frustration.

 

[Greward]

actually underused pokemons are somehow viable

 

[Laem]

i never really understood the point of releasing
or do ppl actually fill their entire box (if yes, WHY?!?)

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Nuzlocke challenge!

 

[Achoral]

Luvdisc for oober tier

[Staco]

No post for 2 days, wtf?

 

[Yikarur]

I have to post so that Staco is satisfied :0

 

[Lord Chair]

Tbh he makes a good statement. Staco you made this thread

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=292419

Let's discuss the content in the social thread 'cause this is where the cool people hang out.

I'm in favor of going all Japanese and use just the 3 basic starters, with stagestriking every round (read: we spam Smashville and mass upload pro matches on it so that Americans go cut themselves).

Not even kidding there, adjusting the thread title...

 

[Greward]

ok 3 starter stagelist : BF, SV and Lylat

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Yeah I'd be OK with only SV, BF and FD and we just strike for all matches of the set. No dumb DSR or stage ban rules needed to make things complicated and we just continue to play the way we've always been. In fact, the people who go to "my" local tourneys literally only pick these 3 stages, nobody strikes because we always start on SV and nobody bans a stage cuz nobody counterpicks. So I think I'm just removing all unneeded stuff to keep the ruleset short and to the point.

 

[Anaky]

There should be a rule where every match starts on Smashville.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Why SV?

Make it BF, that way Ramin can't wavedash onto platforms : D

 

[Lord Chair]

Because that is just the reason we play on it, we're flashy like that.

Srsly zonar gtfo. Hands off our flashiness.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Do you even platform cancel?

 

[Staco]

No.
3 Stage list is stupid.
A lot of people in europe counterpick.

 

[Mr-R]

No.
3 Stage list is stupid.
A lot of mk's in europe counterpick.

fixed......

 

[Yikarur]

fixed......

"people" was right.

 

[Meru.]

Cutting rulesets because nobody counterpicks? Whaaaat? Come on, at least give people the options to do so. Of course some stages are going to be more popular than the others, but that doesn't have to mean you have to take them away. :l

Why do you want a change anyway? I thought the ruleset was acceptable enough?

 

[Lord Chair]

I'm not saying I am demanding a change, I'm just saying I wouldn't mind seeing it happen

"people" was right.

Honestly, it's quite a minority to my knowledge, especially among the better placing players.

Advantages of a 3-stage stagelist:
- Simplifies the game and makes it more accessible to newer players
- ADDS to competition as well as balance
- Reduces controversy about stage legality issues

Disadvantages:
- Please do note them

Admittedly, I'm aware that people would disagree to what I just noted. I'd like to see a convincing appeal though

 

[Staco]

Its not a minority.
Your not just watching at all of the matches.
I could give you a lot of examples.

Watch Ally Gluto.
Kaos vs. any1 he looses 1 match.
LP vs. Ramin.
Greward vs. Leon.
And much more.

If you just watch top 5 sets of BBI at least 1 counterpick (which is no neutral stage) was used in every set. (except Ramin vs. Kaos, cause Kaos won 2:0?)

 

[Lord Chair]

All I remember from Glut vs Ally was that Glutonny always CPed Smashville.

Grew CPed Lylat, neutral CP is neutral.

Let's take a look at all the BiB matches: LINK

BBI: LINK

Not a tenth of those matches is on something thats not BF, FD or SV lol

Where u @

 

[Staco]

Ur horrible at maths.
Also you have to put out a lot of the neutral matches, because they were the first match of the set, which is always on a neutral.

 

[Lord Chair]

Are you really trying to say that of those matches, a severe majority isn't played on the 3 standard neutrals?

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

While I do understand Chair and stuff, I agree with Staco.

Why fix something that isn't broken?
