Purpose of this Thread
One of the most effective skills for anyone to have is the ability to learn from their mistakes. One of the most effective ways to do so is to grab a replay of their opponent crushing them in a spectacular manner and seeing why it happened. This thread's purpose is to grab replays such as these and showcase them, in the hopes of gathering critique from others.
Submitting Replays for Analysis
This is the place where people can take a look at how you play and critique you. However, to ensure maximum quality, there are some submission guidelines that should be abided by:
Some requirements:
Occasionally I may come on and put up a replay. This replay can be anything, whether it involves me or someone else. When this happens, I encourage people to watch the replay and comment on it. If I see enough meaningful discussion going on, I may come on and summarize what people said into one mega post.
With all this said, I encourage you to put up replays and see what went wrong and what could have gone better.

Submitting Replays for Analysis
This is the place where people can take a look at how you play and critique you. However, to ensure maximum quality, there are some submission guidelines that should be abided by:
Some requirements:
- You must include an importable of the team(s) used in the submission. (Use the "hide" tags to conserve space, you construct it with [hide]blablabla[/hide])
- You must explain in 1-2 sentences CLEARLY what you think you need help with. Basically, you must justify why you're submitting your replays. Saying vaguely "I want to improve my decision making" or "I think my team is bad" isn't helping reviewers with your case. Asking questions such as "I couldn't stop the enemy Greninja-Ash from killing one of my allies on turn 10. How would it be possible for me to better control my enemy's Greninja?" is more conducive.
- The submitted replay can't have anything stupid on it. There's little to improve on if the replay consists of hax (Jirachi flinching, etc.) or a team that can't possibly be expected to win (i.e. using a NU team against an OU team)
- If possible, include 2-3 replays instead of just 1. That way, criticizers can get a better idea of how your team operates.
- Try not to use this for simple publicity's sake.
