    Tatsunoko vs Capcom

    Did anyone else pick this up? So far it feels like a combination of marvel vs capcom (fullscreen supers, insane super jumps) and blazblue (crazy weapons, barrier bursts, etc). The main difference seems to be that they really dumbed down controls so anyone can just pick up and play. One thing I...

    Where are you going to school next year?

    Reading another school-based thread got me to thinking... I know that a good chunk of us are currently in our last year of highschool and plan on attending University/College next year. For a lot of us this also means moving away from home and possibly getting to meet a bunch of new people. With...

    Are we truly simulating the game; Sleep and Stadium Mode controversies - please read

    Tl;DR: There are some issues with the carts that would make our 'simulation' play technically impossible. Disclaimer: Before you read anything, I'd like you to take note that this isn't another rant about authorial intent, nor do I even mention Garchomp in this post. And no, I am not...

    UberTrio

    Dugtrio is perhaps the most overlooked Pokemon in the Uber metagame. Smogon only briefly mentions it in their analysis, and that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what it's capable of. Dugtrio @ Focus Sash ** 'You Dick' Trait: Arena Trap EVs: 252Atk / 252Speed / 6whatever Nature...

    Old School Doubles Team -- No Gimmicks!

    A lot of the doubles teams that I see posted are heavily reliant on situational gimmicks. They might have a 'game plan' per se, but no real back up strategy for when their initial plan fails. A solid team should be prepared for every situation; not every situation where your opponent isn't...

    Creating a "professional" presentation with Microsoft PowerPoint or similar programs

    Hey Smogon! I have a question for any of you who have done well in highschool or have faced similar challenges in College. I've had to make several Powerpoint presentations already this year for various subjects (Tourism, History, Geography, etcetera), yet what seems to happen every time is...

    Old team that got me to the finals of that Deoxys-E Tourney (with Lv1 Smeargle)

    The rough draft for this team was made way back in 07 (around the time Surgo made a sticky topic about teams needing to have a "central unifying strategy".) and it was last altered in like, October. This was my best attempt while still staying somewhat unconventional. If you recognize this...

    ITT, Post interesting teams you've encountered on PBR Wi-Fi

    One thing I like about random Wi-Fi is the option to exchange Friend Passes with someone who may have a potentially interesting team. Most notably the Japanese players who tend to use weird UU and BL monsters. Also because they play 3v3 competitively they usually have really interesting...

    What's your opinion on Anti-Clause abuse?

    The reason I ask; PBR random Wi-Fi. There are absolutely no clauses what-so-ever. You can make teams of Deoxys and Darkrai and continually put things to sleep. You can have teams with 6 Focus Sashes, and you can whore Dark Void in 2v2. Really, anything goes. The first random battle I played, I...

    So do you guys ever just have random Wi-FI matches?

    I've searched through these forums and I've failed to find a [stickied] topic about this sort of thing. I've been in an MKDS mood lately... so if a any of you guys would want to get together in like an hour or so, maybe we could have a mini MKDS "tourney". And if this sort of stuff became...

    Gen 3 Charizard use Belly Drum!

    This is a rather old ADV team of mine that I’ve been wanting to post on Smogon for awhile. Since all the hype seems to be around D&P now, I assume now is as good a time as ever to post this! Jolteon (F) @ Leftovers ** Sparky Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Timid Nature (+Spd...
