2012 VGCS Winter Battle: The Wi-Fi Tournament Discusion Thread

[Alchem1st]

Been in the 1600's for a day now
Luck got me out of this one
66-52220-98546

[KuzKan]

I'm battling KuzKan right now...he uses a Sunny Day team, I'm using a Hail team...

Obviously, I'm getting my butt kicked.

EDIT: Just lost. Well, at least I took out his Darmanitan before his Victreebel killed Mamoswine with Leaf Storm.

Oh it was you? awesome x)
you have lots of weakness towards fire :/
but my darmanitan still wants revenge xD

I do seem to have an issue with fire, don't I? XD Honestly, I wanted to put an Ice Body Dewgong out front instead of Vanilluxe, but I don't have enough Dream Points to get one yet.

EDIT: Just looked at the page for Sparkling Sea and I need to make a correction: I have enough points for Seel. The only problem is that he WON'T FREAKING SHOW UP WHEN I CLICK STUFF.

Hey guys I've posted my video from the match with Adam 69-36126-26710

He is 1700+ and I was at 1550ish if I remember, so I was really happy with the win.
I'm running the All Shiny Sand team. (All lovingly RNG'd by my own fair hands)

[Zachmac]

Even though I know I won't win, I guess this is good practice for future tournaments...I'll keep going, just to see what adjustments I should make.

[old man]

Ok I'm slow on this one. I take it that this one is different than the one currently running?? Cause I'm gonna need more time to get a better team together. My good stuff team is getting killed....

A different tourny? No, it's just this one now.

There is a Christmas tourny for everyone with the Japanese games that you can sign up for now, but it hasn't started. There will also be an international tourny in January.

[Morpher01]

I'm just 11 battles away from a grand total of 100 battles. The only problem is that I'm pretty sure most of those battles were ones I lost.

[Cybertron]

Hello, I am streaming again at http://www.twitch.tv/kickataz. Come watch!

[Zachmac]

Bah, I give up for now...I tried to hop back into the tourny, but I got haxed out of almost all of those battles, giving my score a massive blow to the face.

A Ferrothorn with Thunder...it wasn't even in the rain, and the person who used it clearly didn't understand STAB, because it kept using it against my paralyzed Dragonite, even when it knew flash cannon...

I'm not even going to bother with this tourny anymore. If I quit and pull my team out now, will I still get the berry?

[old man]

I don't know if I'll be able to battle anymore in this tourny. Very busy day tomorrow and I had a poor showing. I'm gonna have to complete BW2 to get ready for the one next month

:O i think i remeber you from PK or EE..
anyhow, finally got that 1740s ranking *awesomeface*

[PokeMaster366]

I haven't even reached 30 battles yet (I'm at 29), and already, I'm at 1728 points. I think there was a bit of an error with the system, though. For some reason, when I clocked out and lost to this guy that was using a Bulk Up Shed Skin Rest Scrafty, I don't think the point loss was recorded. Weird.

Anyway, it's good to see you two here, Cybertron and Zachmac. I hope you all have been having good fortune in your battles and with your point count.

Actually, my score has taken a horrible turn for the worse. I changed my mind about quitting, and I guess I'll try and fix it tomorrow, but I won't really get any score worth bragging about until I have a real team in the January tourny, rather then using 4 pokemon who had been trained for singles.

[PokeMaster366]

Hmm...It seems that we're reaching that point in the tourney where all of the low-level players are scrambling for their points.

Attention! If you are currently past the 1700-point mark, do not fight in the tourney anymore! I repeat! Do not fight in the tourney anymore if you are past the 1700-point mark!

But seriously, if you are past that marker, now might be a good time to opt out and wait for the results. All you need to do is get in the Top 128 to win Championship points, and considering how common the guys below 1600 are becoming, you might be better off not risking the bad luck that is bound to happen.

PK or EE??? You lost me on those... I've only been on nintendoworld, smogon but mainly here. This is my first home and best one Eventhough I'm not as active as I once was. Held the Dragon GL spot here for a while and even was one of the first Frointer Brains. But Anyhoo hey how you doing!!!!!

I think Ninetales is talking about other tournaments.

[Osada]

I really hate RQ,, around 12 times I been RQ'd,, I'm affraid I get disqualified.. so bastard those people.. what a coward.. anybody get RQ'd often?

[The Great Butler]

beat someone called matt 2-0

14-2-0

That might have been me, what was the team?

[Comek525]

And I thought my team wasn't good but these teams I've been facing I don't know. But those rains teams got me locked down making me want a Politoed, so is anyone willing to trade or EV Train one for me maybe we can work something out PM or VM

[drizzleboy12]

I just broke 1800!!!

Well thats a fun start today. another 1750 RQ's on me, then I lose to spore spam. Feel like the only one that doesn't dot hat, ah wel, should stop being nice.

As for the RQ, meh, will see if I get my points anyways in a few minutes. Doing more after breakfast of course.

Don't be surprised. We're starting to get to that point in the tournament where people with high rankings (likely 1700 or higher) are going to D/C often in order to preserve their ranking. If you're going to continue, it's going to be very dangerous, for the only opponents that are going to be fair are the ones that are below the 1600-point mark. If you want to stop battling, now would be a good time.

[Arande]

Funny you say that. After losing to luck hax (That feel, when flinching twice in a row prevents you from killing an opponent twice) i ran into two peolpe with 1750 I beat and didn't RQ, even more surprisingly since I was expecti one of em to RQ cause he brought a lv 1 aron to do the troll thing. Of course after posting this, my next 3 opponents will RQ XDah well, 10-2 with 2 RQ against me so far.
