    Hey Wolfe, since you mentioned wrist pain, I felt compelled to share some tips with you. I've been a software engineer for over 15 years, so if I didn't do these things myself, my wrists would have been obliterated years ago.
    1. Always make sure your computer chair has nice long arm rests that can be completely flush and level with your desk surface. Basically you don't want your arms angled up or down, just flat.
    2. Look into those ergo bean-bag wrist rests for your mouse hand. They seem like they wouldn't do much, but are actually pretty comfy in my experience.
    3. If you are ever typing on a laptop sitting on a couch or something that isn't a proper desk area, same deal, make sure you never have your arms angled weirdly and make sure your wrists are in a good neutral position. Use some pillows or blankets as arm rests if need be.
    4. Look up some wrist exercises/stretches. Something to do if you are feeling some strain or pain.

  • @VerbalLearning

    I think VGC would benefit from a little bit of standardization across regions. Now i'm not saying every tournament should be 100% identical but maybe something like: Open Team Sheet (Tera Type Included) and Top 8 being Best of 3 as being default rules. That way you can still decide whether you want your tournament in the beginning to be Swiss, Bo1, Bo2, Open Bracket, Single Elim, Double Elim etc. So you can still have a fairly volatile tournament if you want, but in top 8 your team needs to prove a little more consistency than before and with Open Team Sheet (Tera Type Included) you reduce the surprise factor a little bit throughout the entire tournament but not entirely. And these standardized rules would only be required for let's say Regionals or similar events. So smaller tournaments, weeklies etc can still do whatever they want. This is just for the BIG VGC Official tournaments that are connected to Worlds Qualification.

    I assumed that Gunk Shot Annihilape was tera Poison and Wood Hammer Mimikyu was Tera Grass to expand their offensive profile while both see some benefit defensively from the tera types :) Gunk Shot heavily accelerates its damage output into fighting resists/checks, unboosted Rage Fist is fine into opposing Ghosts, but Gunk covers Fairies, Flyings, Psychics.

    I would hate to fight in a best of 1 format for ANY tournament let alone Pokemon. I didn't see Bundle as much as it used to be but at the Charlotte Regionals turn 1 of one of my matches I froze my opponent with Freeze Dry. The game was over at that point because of how broken Freeze is. That would feel so bad to have this well thought out team and you just lose because you got froze, you missed multiple times in a row or you crit multiple times in a row and you don't have another game to redeem yourself.

    @Nameless_mixes Год назад

    That last team definitely looks like it takes a slow and steady approach. Grimmsnarl’s screen support plus Maushold’s Friend Guard boosts defense. Ting-Lu chips things down. You can either use the classic Beat Up + Rage Fist strategy with Annihilape or set up Iron Hands by itself. And in the event that they aren’t able to knock out opponents, everything’s so weakened that Talonflame has priority Acrobatics to take out whatever’s left. I don’t know how well that would work within an open team sheet format since your opponent would have more agency to predict what each mon was going to do.

  • @benrinehart7776
    @benrinehart7776 Год назад

    The reason for goggles on ape instead of maushold is in case maushold goes down before the opposing Amoongus does. In a CTS format I imagine every high level player has a plan for the turn 1 mausape lead. So maushold probably often didn’t make it past turn 1.
    My best series 2 team uses goggles ape + screens taunt Grimmsnarl. It beat everything in the format except talonflame, mausape, and indeedee armarogue. So I added t-tar and flutter mane. It did amazingly well

      from a player perspective I would not want a world’s qualifier to be determined by game of 1 being shocked by an unusual Gunk Shot Annihilape, and Wood Hammer Mimiku towards for example Max Attack Water Tera Arcanine for opposing Gholdengoes.

    • @SuperAmazingJared
      @SuperAmazingJared Год назад +11

      I wanna say it's the laws about competitive gaming basically being gambling, which de-legitimizes competition in a lot of ways, they probably want it to be quicker as well.
      it's sort of similar in Smash Bros, where they just recently swapped to bo5s from bo3 (iirc) despite every other tournament worldwide doing bo5s for top 8 at the very least because they're literally not allowed to give prizes that aren't like, a controller or something

      @@jazzercise300 there aren't a lot of sanctioned tournaments in Japan, so most of what you see via roadoftheking or whatever is unsanctioned tournaments with a normal best-of-three Swiss round format. Smaller sanctioned events, such as the store tournaments that lead to qualifying for nationals are also are typically played as best of 3. But the YCSJ events are all best-of-one with a smaller Swiss round portion than would be normal for an event of their size (most recent was 8 rounds for 4000 players), followed by single elimination best-of-one top 64 cut. Pretty much you can drop at most 1 game in Swiss if you want to make top cut (not even guaranteed top at x-1) and then you have to win out from there.

      I still find it funny in one YCS Threatening Roar won the tournament I am pretty sure (it's a card that stops your opponent from entering the phase where you can deal damage and win but for only one turn). It's allows too many gimmicks to win.

    I understand all the bad things about single elimination, close team sheet format but the one good thing about it is the greater creativity amongst players. You may label it as rewarding "gimmicky" teams but it really allows for a greater appreciation of the allowed pokemon in the format rather than the same boring stuff that inevitably comes to every vgc format every single generation: genies and other legendary spam. I would love if they just completely banned legendaries in all the vgc formats until the last one at the end of the generation because even when the home update came and it allowed the new Pokemon from hisui and other generations they're just overshadowed by the OP ones like the genies and urshifu. Mega lame.
