Are they finally attempting to eliminate time stalling?

>>28922172
Yes it's addressing timer stalling.

Yeah, seems that way. It's basically a 20 minute cap now. It seems like a good system to me.

>>28922416
>>28922473
Fantastic!

Will they be using "Your Time" at VGC2017 though? They should, if they use it on rated battles.

I would assume so

>>28922700
That fucking guy was a disgrace. Just looking at his smug face makes me angry.

I hope he fucking complains publicly about Your Time! I hope they use it in VGC2017. I need some actual justice porn.

this

I need to see this, and the girl autistic ass reaction and the guy smug face

Its perfect.

>>28922473
More accurately, it's a cap of 20 minutes overall overtime outside of the already-existing "1 minute per turn". So the longest a match will ever take now is the number of turns + 20 in minutes.

>>28924775
She wasn't being autistic. She had a chance of winning if her Groudon woke up at the right turn. Faglord was smug because he was fully stalling out the clock to deny her chances of waking up.

Faglord would have eventually lost, that's the point. That's why she was upset. She basically had her victory stolen from her by a coward who wouldn't even look her in the eye until he succeeded.

>>28924935
alright then wheres the fucking video

Where were you when Verlisify was absolutely fucking right for once?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FyZ1IxDaqfc

>>28924935
Except no.

She choked right at the end by using Eruption instead of Earth Power.

Also >She

Besides, you faggots would also play the clock if you were at Worlds and it was your only chance to grasp victory.

Even the tranny said the guy did what he had to do and everyone bitching about it were shitters who don't even know or play competitive so they should just shut the fuck up.

>>28925127
Trista is a tranny?

Welp.

>>28925032
Honestly, it's GF fault for allowing this kind of shit.

It's a competition.

>>28925127
She's a he?

source?

>>28925376
>>28925184
i do believe it was mentioned somewhere that she is actually a he. like on some kinda pokemon fansite I think they run that's filled with raichu/electric pokemon.

>>28925468
still would probably

>>28923821
Why do people keep mentioning this? You should be thinking about your next turn while the current turn is playing out.
What do you you do? Sit around with a dumb look on your face watching all the pretty animations?

>>28925536
Because stall is a lot less reliant on prediction and with this "your time" feature it allows you to win by timeout against aggressive teams.

>>28925601
Stall doesn't really exist in any official format, and that doesn't address my point at all.
However much prediction you need it can mostly be done during the time a turn is playing out.

>>28925468
I don't really see it, she/he has feminine features and that hair and all.

>>28925740
>I don't really see it
Believe it or not some trannies can actually pass decently or completely. Not all of them are men in a dress tumblerites.

>>28925790
She's not trans. You're an idiot. Did you even watch VGC16? They interviewed her. She spoke.

>>28925815

What's your point bub?

>>28925865
My point is trans woman don't sound like she does.
As a trans woman, I would know.

When I play stall on battle spot, I predict plenty. In fact, I have to think 3 turns ahead, most of the time. Why do you shitters keep parroting this meme?

>>28925889
Maybe you couldn't get gud at changing your voice.

No I wouldn't. Both because I have respect for others, and some measure of self-respect.

>>28925790
It's not just passing, it's the bone structure on the face, the hair, skin tone, etc.

The only thing that could maybe give off guy vibes is the somewhat bony hands
I whack it to trap porn I should know

>>28925964
Sure you wouldn't anon.

>>28926057
I've already been in high stakes battles with pride on the line. I've never time stalled. That is just unsportsmanlike.

>>28926104
Unsportmanlike according to who? The same people who think using legendaries when they were allowed to be used is also unsportmanlike?

If it's the rules it's fair game no matter how much you try to twist it according to your own set of morals.

>>28925032
>competitive play

>>28925536
I mean... do you not

>>28926169
Even the rules (at around 8:40 in this anon's video >>28925057) mention how manipulating the clock is grounds for a loss.

>>28926169
Timestalling is specifically against the VGC2016 rules. It's just that they didn't enforce their own rules for whatever nitwit reason. That's TPCI's fault, sure, but the point that time stalling is unsportsmanlike stands.

>>28927621
>It's just that they didn't enforce their own rules for whatever nitwit reason
It's impossible to enforce a rule like that. Unless someone is jumping up and down saying "I'm timerstalling!" you have no way of knowing whether they're taking the whole time to think about their decision or purposely timerstalling.

>>28927718
Did you watch the Verlisify video? The champ literally says in an interview on-stream with a TPCI employee "when I timestalled her."

He said it into a microphone while laughing, on camera, live.

He should have been disqualified immediately if the people running VGC2016 actually cared.

Well apparently Game Freak and TPCI decided they want to save face, because guess what? Timer stalling is now an in-game auto-lose regardless of how the battle is going. NOW incompetent, aloof, mamby-pamby and/or biased TPCI employees can't fuck it up on international "TV".

Timerstall is genuinely pathetic so I support this.

>>28928336
>Did you watch the Verlisify video?
>Verlisify
gee i wonder

>>28928336
TCG rules meaning anything to VGC rules. Oh I watched it. That's why I don't care.

>>28928532
When he's right, he's right. He's the only one who actually bothered to call out TPCI on their bullshit.
