>>30645502
I'm saying that on the basis that p2 didn't die that turn

CELESTEELA THE META

SO FUN!

The pokèmon metagame is a very intricated game of mind in which the player with the most skill can outwit the opponent and win.

>>30645480
That Para saved him, Substitute + Protect would've stalled Celesteela out. He should've Leech Seeded or attacked the Raichu though, Substitute was a bad play he should've saved for when Marowak was on the field.

He'd either have to target down the marowak, forgoing a sub, and then raichu could've thunderbolted. Or took out the raichu, but them marowak would've flare blitzed.

Why does Gamefreak choose to give some pokemon everything?

"let's give this pokemon steel/flying typing and great defense"

"but wait, let's give it good offenses too"

"and a good movepool"

"and let's make it the heaviest pokemon of all time and give it heavy slam"

"and also how about we give it fire coverage moves? why not."

"you know what? we really haven't gone far enough with this pokemon yet. it just needs a little... more."

>>30646544
? Who are you talking about. We are just watching games dude

>>30646551
it's honestly the most reliable way to deal with stuff like porygon2. That's what happens when you have no viable knock off users.

So with such a Celesteela heavy meta why aren't taunt users more popular? Are there no strong ones available?

>>30646560
Can you please go complain about your favorite shitmon being shit and how mad you are that Gamefreak didn't make it good somewhere else?

Pick 1 and only 1. They just give things whatever they thing may be cool and that's it. Freaks like Garchomp only happen once every 10 years.

>>30646585
There are not many Taunt users that have a spare move slot for it. Most things suffer from the 4MSS.

>>30646585
It blocks the Leech Seed and the Sub, but Celesteela is still threatening with Heavy Slam and sometimes things like Flamethrower or Rock Slide. May as well just run a Raichu, Tapu Koko etc. and just get it over with.

There are a lot of inefficiencies in Baris's team.

First of all, he ran a Z-item on both arcanine and gigalith. This can be okay, but he usually brings both and opens with both. Second, sandstorm hurts arcanine and tapu bulu, and tapu bulu's grassy terrain heals any effect it has on enemies so the usefulness of the gigalith is lower. Third, his arcanine knows morning sun which heals only 1/3 in sandstorm which is pretty bad.

>>30646763
And on top of that he pissed off some wizard or shaman so he has shit luck.

>>30646763
He must have been doing something right despite all that until now considering he was 6-0

>>30646763
yet he's 6-0 in the biggest ever tournament in europe while we're shitposting on a nepalese shadow theatre bulletin board.

I'm focusing on the matches too desu! But fine, let me watch the archive thingie, but I'll stop during matches.

Where are the Oranguru/Torkoal teams? Was everyone scared of it being too predictable?

Chuppa always sounds like he's forcing his voice to sound deep.

Captcha: virgen gorsaf

How would Fake Out Salazzle far into the meta later? Seeing that it can Toxic practically anything and also Immune to it (unless another Salazzle is in play)

is it wise to run Assault vest on gigalith or i should just go for other options?

>>30647282
It already gets a free Assvest with the sand. Run something more useful.

>>30647282
Weakness Policy, Shuca Berry, anything but AssVest.

>>30647274
Diglett used Mud Slap.
Jokes aside it's too frail to be super valuable and it lacks the power to KO the Tapus other than Bulu. The Toxic bonus literally only benefits against Celesteela.

>>30647282

Is there a video of that Sand Veil Chomp battle?

Kind of awkward interview.

>>30647364
You can hear the bias in the interviewer's voice

>>30647332
>>30647303
what are the staple moves for gigalith in this current vgc meta? I have seen toxic, wide guard being used in this competition, just not sure what moves should my gigalith learn

>>30647274
It'll have to wait till after the new year, it might see some use but the main problem right now is being a fast fragile special attacker isn't very useful with Tapu Koko running around.

In actual fact I don't think there is a single thing in this whole meta who can get a jump on Koko in raw speed. Crobat, Aero and Jolteon all speed tie with it but lose in a 1v1 exchange.

Really about the only interesting thing Salazzle can do besides Fake Out is have a AoE poison move in Poison Gas. You can just fire a Poison Gas and that is two Pokemon poisoned, no questions about it.

>>30647405
What happened? I couldn't understand jackshit.

>Ray Rizzo [US] (4-3-0) 12 pts
RIP.

>Aaron Zheng [US] (5-2-0) 15 pts
Oh wow he's still alive. Will he be able to do it /vp/?

>>30647407
Jolteon actually wins the 1v1, but still not really worth using over Kek.

>>30647442
There are 549 Masters today, so 10 rounds of Swiss. He'll need to win 3 more matches against very good opposition with half his team weak to top kek.

>baris going against wolfe after losing to his bf
poor dude

>>30647481
So Top Cut is 8-2 and not 7-2? Oh boy.

>>30647481
It's actually a very solid matchup if played correctly.

>>30647496
Even if it's 7-3, I can hardly see anyone losing three matches on day 1 making top cut considering day 1 results are carrying over this time.

>>30647509
Go away Cybertron.

Is it even possible to do this without any Tapu or UB at all?

>>30647524
>considering day 1 results are carrying over this time.
Wait, what? I thought this was working like if it were work. All 8-2 to day 2, reset, all 7-2 to top cut and day 3, top cut day 3.

How is it working this time then?

>>30647538
Maybe?

>>30647406
Toxic / Wide Guard / Rock Slide / EQ or Heavy Slam

>>30647538
Outside of a Trick Room team, not really

please, no thirst /vp/

>>30647556
According to Wolfe, x-2 in day one move on to day 2, so it's probably gonna be 5 rounds of Swiss tomorrow; best 8 records in days 1 and 2 combined move on to day 3 and the knockout rounds.

Fuck yes organizer lady is back.

>>30647610
Mah new waifu

How common is exchange of information at these events? I assume things like Wolfe's manslut telling him everybody else's sets are fairly common and make certain strats hard to use, right?

Holy shit the framerate with sandstorm raging, I can count the frames.

>>30647626
>How common is exchange of information at these events?
Very common of course, specially if you have your own group of friends.

>>30647596
Yep, Kay's just confirmed x-2 at worst on stream. It might be 6 rounds considering about 120 players are 5-2 and above after 7 rounds.

>>30647610
She isn't actually an organiser. She was head judge in 2015 Nationals as well as at a bunch of Regionals. She's only doing commentary this time.

Cybertron says he's playing on the side stream... what side stream?

who is this hot female commentator?

i think I'm in love

Hi

Hello

Where are the battles?

>>30647724
Let's step it down, anon. She's attractive but hot is a bit of a stretch. Looks like the British version of Allyson Hannigan in the mid-late run of How I Met Your Mother.

Why would anybody rather have eShop vouchers than money?
The only reason they give those as prizes at proper tournaments is because it gives advertising and there are far fewer laws about gambling with vouchers.

>>30648203
There are no local turny's where I'm from so yes I would no matter what the prize is. I doubt I would do very well though, I've been breeding pokemon that I like to perfect IV's not any of the meta

>>30648203
Part of the entry fee as prize.

Example: You have 10 players and each paid 10 bucks to enter. The prize pool will be 70 bucks from that and you'll keep 30 bucks to yourself as an organization fee. Get what I mean?

Of course, if you are rich and have money to throw away and care mostly about the players and them having fun and organizing something good more than raking in money then just do whatever.

>>30648265
I don't want to make people pay to enter. I think I'll do points cards, and merch.

I'm falling asleep, is this how the average singles match goes?

>>30648300
>I don't want to make people pay to enter.
Again, it's just an example of how to run things.

>I think I'll do points cards, and merch.
People appreciate hard cold cash much more. VGC players specially so as they are sick of getting shitty prices they have no use at all like TCG boosters.

>>30648300
Yeah, I hold free tournaments at my university. Only prizes we ever get are plushes and stuff. You could potentially get sponsorship from a local game shop or something for prizes, but that would require you to actually be socially competent enough to make a case for it.

>>30648344
Singles matches are a lot faster until someone trys to stall.

>>30648358
Okay.

Fun fact: Whoever wins this guarantees his entry to Worlds already.

>>30648399
That's not surprising, Nationals have always guaranteed entry to worlds, and this is a similar (or slightly bigger) turnout than a Nationals.

>>30648428
Also, 5k bucks prize for 1st place.

>>30648399
As they should. Top cutting this also should imo

>>30648358
Maybe without animations and the time players take in a tournament with big cash prizes

rip

>>30648323
True, but being trusted to handle money by a complete stranger over the internet? Would you trust me with your money? to make it worse I'm black. Doing it this way makes it more easier on the participants if you just receive prizes, not send me any money. Not even joking here.

>>30648344
This would be a /vp/ thing. Not local or otherwise. Only thing I'd say is you must be in America. I ain't paying for no overseas shipping yo.

>>30648445
Also, TCG is getting 10k and the requirement for it +227 players.

Meanwhile VGC required +500 players for it to qualify for the 5k prize.

Totally fair.

>>30648463
Would /vp/ be able to watch the matches?

>>30648463
>Online tourney
Oh, that's a different thing. I thought you were talking about a local thing.

>>30648459
BTFO

Not sure how I feel about these stally matches, maybe megas aren't that bad

>>30648476
Well, TCG is way more expensive than VGC.

>>30648476
Also VGC players got a baseball cap while TCG players got a playmat

The exact same thing happened at Liverpool regionals last month and TPCI got loads of complaints but they don't really care.

>>30648485
Unless it were done on Showdown, there's no way to do that unless the player has a capture card 3DS which I do

There, I made the pic. Sun has two games as Till did not customize his avatar, so we had a repeat! Hope we see Chicken-chan again too.

>>30648476
There are actually more players attending for VGC than for TCG in the Masters bracket.

Also, turns out it's gonna be 9 rounds today after all.

>>30648459
What does he expect? His team was copypasted from week 1 of pokemon showdown. The current meta counters his team hard.

>>30648533

>>30648561
What's the current music they're playing?

>>30648552
What was his team? I couldn't catch him on stream.

>>30648539
VGC gets slightly more players than TCG at most events nowadays. It makes sense for TPCI to put more money into TCG though, competitive TCG makes up a much higher proportion of its sales than competitive VGC does (since about 95% of video game sales are to people who will never touch multiplayer)

>>30648511
Play Pokemon is headed by ex-TCG players, which isn't exactly surprising considering the TCG is 10 years older than VGC. It really shows, even though there are a few good ex-VGC guys who started working for TPCi fairly recently.

The number of people registered to BS Doubles or VGC compared to Singles is ridiculous, too, but that won't change until doubles figures far more prominently in single player, which also won't happen until Masuda gives Ohmori the green light to experiment a bit more and/or they get around their AI for doubles being subpar and/or the Switch solves the framerate issues.

Well, of course. They're a bunch of crybabies playing a format that's not only outdated as fuck, but is way more simpler.

>>30648743
>>30648749

Its accessibility, as well as the fact alts make it possible to test meme teams with no damage to your main's ELO, mean you get quite a lot of memefuckery running around, early meta especially.

What could Aaron's team possibly have to beat electric spam if played correctly? Scarf Xurk isn't killing anything, Lele and Metagross are too slow

>>30648792
He just played it correctly :^)

>>30648743
Smogon is great within their own borders, but the bans make most teams completely unprepared to deal with things like evasion.
