where the frick is peoria
>world champion
>got beaten by Geeta
>cowardly perish trapped every battle in Indigo Disk
>tries fighting Kieran without Perish trap
>starts getting his shit pushed in so hard he resorts to Perish trapping anyway
vod?
8:15:26 for the fight he loses against Geeta.
3:18:02 for the fight against Kieran
>new games are eas-ACK!
He also lost against Nemona in the post-champion battle.
His losses are mostly because he accidentally built a super slow team and he didn't worry about levels, so he just started getting swept.
No, he mostly plays like a moron to glean engagement.
When you get older, you'll understand ecelebs do this kind of shit to drive views/clicks/engagement/etc.
This guy gets it. It doesn't matter if he loses or not because his fans will watch and comment in support and haters will gloat, all of which makes him ad revenue/sponsors. Youtube is faker than professional wrestling.
Him losing to Geeta certainly made me click the link.
>Play the game like its an actually PvP match
>Use status moves and shit unironically
>Lose because you’re a fricking idiot using overthinking strategies when you can always just click super effective attack
Honestly I’m trying to not scream at him for using status moves in PvE that isn’t like set up move.
I liked how he kept pronouncing Nemona and Pneumonia and basically mispronounced every single new Pokemon's name.
he does that as a shtick i think
A lot of youtubers do shit like that because of the 100% chance of some dork know-it-all leaving a comment and driving up engagement.
*as Pneumonia
fr he stupid i swept geeta' ass with my lvl 100 Koraidon it was too crazy ngl haha
He has not been the world champion in 7 years, he won in 2016 and has been riding that for fame ever since. But he's obviously still very skilled because he wins regional tournaments.
Didn't he also get caught cheating?
Hasn't every prominent VGC YouTuber gotten caught cheating and disqualified from at least 1 tournament at some point?
not our goat aaron cybertron zheng
he had an entire team of shiny pokemon in gen 5 he definitely cheated
Nah bro that was just masuda method 24/7 trust me bro i was there
>wins a tournament using one of the most popular comp meta mons
*yawn*
let me know when he brings an objective shitmon team to a tourney and wins
Didn't he win a tournament with a Sneasler?
i don't know shit about vgc but there's no way sneasler is an objective shitmon
He does that most of the time though, he's well known for bringing weird teams that only he knows how to pilot and being the cause of the wolfey effect online, aka sharing his team and having online being flooded with people trying the team out and being shit at it
He got rank 1 with dipplin doe
off the top of my head I've seen him use Flamigo and Haunter
He has won tournaments using shitty strats. Including Perish Song. He even made an entire video showing how reasonably far he got with unusable teams. Campaign gay please actually formulate arguments besides "MUH STRONG MONS ARE BORING!".
The point is that he flexed on everyone by making a video objectively stating Amoongus was the best grass type. And proceed to 1# it with. The fact that this dude can simply make thoughtful videos and back it up with genuine experience right afterwards just proves he's the only person in the field worth giving a shit about. No shit Amoongus is strong, but his video holds more weight since he raped everyone with it yesterday.
Bro he got far because no one prepares for dumb strats like that. Its like being a high elo player on showdown and getting beat by a sub 1200 player that has moronic movesets and just makes the worst moves possible at every turn. Tbh hes kind if a homosexual for doing that to people
He's doing what it takes to win. If you're competing for actual cash prize pools, you'll pull all the stops to win a world tournament. He has an expansive understanding of the meta game and using niche picks alongside strong meta picks allows him to subvert expectations. Knowing what can counter what's popular or gamestyles that can overcome what's dominating the meta is part of that.
Someone won a regional with Articuno this year specifically because they knew how the playing field was like, and made a team that played around the special quirks that were exploitable for that specific regional. Is he a homosexual too by being smart and doing what it takes to win? People like you wouldn't survive 1 fricking day in a VGC environment and it shows. Either find ways to adapt or circumvent it by finding weaknesses to the general staples and team comps.
While you're right he's a massive homosexual, what he did is just make his team/mon anti-meta. This meta is so much solved than something most people would consider stupid or moronic can be a legit thing because no one prepares for it.
? Everyone knows Amoongus is the best grass type anytime it's available, the fricker has won worlds almost every time since gen 5
Considering most VGC players are still whining, screaming, moaning and pissing themselves over legality checks instead of playing the game, probably.
Injecting and modifying pokemon for comp made sense when it would take a person months to grind the mons through breeding and being at the mercy of RNG, but anyone crying about legality checks when you can make perfect IV battle ready mons with in game items is just ridiculous. It has never been easier to get competitively viable pokemon and I'm convinced that players are just lazy homosexuals now.
Yeah dude i remember spending literal weeks to get a single max iv pokemon back in d/p/p, thats not even including the time spemt to ev train it and getting it to max level. It (thankfully) takes like 5 minutes now
Total sporeBlack person death
He's like 40 years old doing this
He's 28.
>Turned 28 a few hours ago and still get asked for my ID when we go get beer from our bottle shops
Not sure if I still look young for my age or he looks too old given some work colleagues look a bit like him and are in their mid 30s to early 40s, but even compared to other people my age he definitely looks older than 28.
He's israeli. Of course he looks like shit
If he is so great, why couldn't he defend his title?
I am in the ray rizzo is the greatest of all time camp but pokemon is like 10% luck at the highest level. Winning worlds multiple times is obscenely unlikely because there is a good chance you simply get unlucky 2 games in a row
this type of playing got boring after the first 'i can solo showdown with a caterpie'
sure he might be right, but all 'competitive' pokemon is boring as frick, its like wanting to watch a pong tournament
Didn't he lose pools one time?
Also all VGC players who supported the dexcut belong the cross
Dexcut is good for the game, Stantlergay.
You belong on a cross.
>Didn't he lose pools one time?
Wolfe spent like 5 years trying to be as quirky as possible bringing DOGSHIT teams and mons trying to make them work. A couple of tines he got blasted in pools. About 6 months ago he decided to go "no fun allowed" and has had the most successful season of any VGC player ever
Honestly liked those videos with out there teams that he made, honestly would like it better if he kept them to online/closed sheet tournaments since that's how the majority of players are gonna be playing online. The No Fun Tournament run has been interesting to see though.
> honestly would like it better if he kept them to online/closed sheet tournaments
Literally what he is doing. He brought egg to an online tourney and got like second. Shit that doesn't matter ranking wise is when he is going to frick around
Are regionals actually serious? In most other competitive games, winning regionals is like okay but not that impressive
Regionals are fairly huge events - this one had about 900 players for VGC alone, and even more with TCG players. You need to do well at regionals to get invitations for the higher-ranked events, as well.
I was told there was something like 2000 TCG players this time, it was absolutely insane.
Regionals are very serious, I was actually at the one in Orlando and I only went 5-4, I had bad luck but also didn't play optimally against some players who made better plays. The prize pool is also pretty huge.
>2000 TCG players this time
I know people argue about whether Pokémon videogames are dying and pointing to increased participation in VGC, but that amount of TCG players is nuts.
Consider the fact that if you have a 90% win rate over the course of your career is basically impossible. You NEED to win 7/9 games day one then 4-5 games in a row. Ignoring day one if you magically had a 80% win rate would still only be a 32% chance to win. Wolfe has won 2 regionals this season
All in person tournaments are serious. It doesn't matter if it's a regional, international, or worlds; people there are trying their best to win. No one is saying "well this tournament only pays $5k and not $20k so I'm just going to sandbag." In that regard it's safe to say Wolfe is the best player of all time. Has he won the most Worlds? No. Has he won the most overall tournaments, across five different gens, each with completely different gameplay? Yes. If I had to bet on a single player to win a single event, with no other context, including the gen, or team restrictions, I'd bet on him because he has such a broad list of wins he has the best overall knowledge and skill to do it.
it was always good moron
it was a smogon staplegen V meta since it was created
spore is cancerous playstyle
Nooo... not our Niel
F
hahahahaha what a moron
The frick did he do
Said trans people are mentally ill and pretended to be a 16 yo old girl as a joke but supposedly it was to catch a predator.
Lol. Right after losing last turn last hit because he was a moron and terad early
>lose tournament
>exiled from community
ayy lmao what timing
Not just lost. Lost by the skin of his teeth after being served RNG on a platter getting 2 turn sleep twice. A flushed poo is never a bad thing though
I thought Amoongus being disgustingly good was common knowledge. It's been everywhere since its introduction.
Hell, Amoongus being so good is precisely why the 2014 Pachirisu meme exists in the first place; Pachirisu was used to do Amoongus' job because literally everyone was expecting Amoongus.
Reg D will at least let Miraidon teams have an easy time with them. Chances are you aren't carrying Rillaboom and Amoongus on the same team, and the only other common terrain setter is Indeedee, so as long as you don't see one with an Amoongus you can just turn off Spore. I guess Terapogos would be the biggest threat there.
why do zoomer homosexuals glorify and worship literal whos
This i want to go back to Gable and Hepburn worshipping
No father figure or Jesus in their lives
>the most trooned out generation
Aint at least 1/3 of your generation LGBT?
>zoomers arrive on Ganker
>literally ALL threads with an anime girl in the OP become ERP circlejerks and mods end up having to make a simp containment board
Who are your top 3 restircted to use in Reg G?
Miraidon Koraidon (?) and Shadow Rider
If no Koraidon then Zacian, or some other box legendary
I'm having a weirdly high success rate with Zamazenta. It just stays on the field forever and after one Iron Defense (trivial to setup even without support, much less fake out) it can chunk non restricted Pokemon for 80-100% of their HP. It's also stupid fast for a Pokemon that tanky. With a timid nature it outspeeds Ogerpon with almost no investment so you can throw the rest into hp, sdef, and def.
I'm dogshit at teambuilding if the mon doesn't have a way to set a 'mode'
Who does Zam like having around?
Calyrex-S, then Groudon then Zamazenta. Calyrex-S is just a nuke, Groudon + Flutter Mane is a lesser version of Primal Groudon + Xerneas, and Zamazenta's access to its much needed new moves means it sticks around like what
says. Miraidon and Koraidon just aren't good at the moment. Groudon outclasses Koraidon because Fighting/Dragon isn't a good typing when Flutter Mane is everywhere and Miraidon has to keep Volt Switching because of Terrain Wars between it, Rillaboom and Indeedee.
So far I like Groudon, Caly S, and Miraidon. I havent done testing with much else, though I have high hopes for Origin Dialga. I want to run Palkia on a reg F team replacing a Walking Wake, pic rel, but the b***h
>doesnt get Snarl
>doesnt get the free protosynth boost in sun, which torn is made to do
>his best water attack is Hydro Pump
Plus, two dragons on a team like that seems unecessary
I'd entertain the idea of Wide Lense on Palkia but that just seems to bite compared to how Palkia felt last gen. Plus people actually run Dragon attacks on everything now, so Dialga's time to shine might be now while Palkia takes to the bench. Also spitballing how to use HoOh.
Does Zam use Howl? I was wondering if Body Press, Shield Bash, Howl and Protect was the way to go.
From my experience, Incin is ever-present. A turn you spend setting up with a Howl can be neutralized immediately. Meanwhile, almost nothing is running Haze or Screech so Iron Defenses last forever, while alsogiving a +2 instead of a +1. Maybe a Howl set would do better in a double restricted format where passing a +1 to something like Calyrex or Groudon would be all it takes for them to run wild turn one. I've been running Body Press, Snarl, Iron Defense Protect.
>but what about Flutter Mane and ghosts
Rillaboom, Ogerpon Heartflame w/ Glide, and Incin deal with those easy enough. Zamazenta isn't there to solo everything, it's there to solo everything after you get rid of its one or two counters.
Kyogre (counter to sun/ancient spamvand just being kyogre lol) groudon (does what Koraidont) and Miradon
