@bendava04 that wasn't a big throw though? Dragon ascent wasn't going to kill. It did 69.7-82.2% dmg. Even if Vinny ran Ray adamant (which he didn't), it still only did a max of 90%
@@Mephiles-1 yeah which not only makes the scarf usually unesscessary in the first (though in this case it was hugefor outspeeding diancie) but the scarf makes protect and substitue functionally unpickable so his M gengar basically had only 2 moves XD
To make that kind of a team work, huge props to Frank! Man really showed the 2014 VGC tournament player side of himself. Petition for more double battles with Frank.
The thumbnail on this one is absolutely fantastic, it’s probably my favorite one yet EDIT: I also loved the team breakdown segment, super engaging to watch!
Dude it's just Soo funny rewatching this. The fact Vinny was so hyped and said out loud he saw the air balloon with his eyes and 1 move later he goes for earth power because of so much excitement in his heart made him just throw the game makes it Soo much funnier
I absolutely love you guys going over what you guys built. Please continue this! It gives an awesome behind the scene of what you guys are thinking through
Absolutely LOVING the mid-vid breakdown! I'm not well versed in pokemon but your videos got me to pick up a copy of Scarlet. Also loving the guessing shorts!
Bro congrats on surpassing Original151 today! I’ll never forget being in the Arceus stream where Vintendo was born and here we are! Congrats to you and your team! And yes after this battle you still sadly a D tier battler 😂
Leave it to Vinny to run protect and sub on a mon with choice item aka, locks itself into a single move. The man is an S tier content creator, regardless of battle strategy 😂
this doesnt have that much to do w the video but i absolutely ADORE absol and it made me so happy to see him at 0:28 especially w how looked over he is in the community
I love that everyone is always a good sport when they lose. But when Vinny loses, he somehow pulls it off in the funniest way that I semi cheer for him to lose because I know he’s gonna make me laugh.
Two things to help you next round: Protect while usually a good move, should never be used on a choice mon, Choice and assault vest are pure offense items. And 2: Don't let your excitement blind you like what happened here. Items as you can expect typically make or break a battle you wouldn't expect it but items are chosen for a specific purpose. It is why Switcheroo and Trick actually have some usage and why Knock Off is usually a must on certain mons (Such as Meowscarada or Krookodile, though I think Gen 9 Krookadile lost knock off which is stupid) And just another bit of information, if you decide to use Smogon for team comp. Make sure you're not using Balanced Hackmons
Vinny moves from D-Tier to C-Tier today ladies and gents. Mostly due to him doing a lot better, but still losing and for some reason putting protect and substitute on a choice scarfed Pokémon
aint no shot a C tier battler throws like that and puts protect and sub on a scarfed mega gengar, Vinny had a straight up unstoppable team and he found a way to screw it up. thats some F tier play right there. A C tier battler to me is someone who does the bare minimum, makes no innovation and runs the good sets the way they are meant to be run but doesn't really use them with any skill or understanding. Vinny is F to D tier, in that he sometimes runs trash sets and does trash things with said sets usually throwing or straight up cheating in the moves he gives mons, which is F tier behavior, or on better days which this was not, he can understand what movesets are good and what attacks are good to use, but falls flat on ever properly executing them, commonly making bad calls and actively throwing games he easily could have won had he simply not actively picked the worse possibly options.
Ughhhh Vinny, I genuinely felt sad when I saw that you went for Earth Power. I was rooting for you!!! it's crazy to see how far you have come along in battling. You are a different breed than way back in the VERSUZZZZZ era with Dobbs.
Great vid, I had some suggestions for the future. Idk if it matters too much, but if you are running choice scarf, protect is not really viable and also it is better to use a focus sash over a band as a band has a chance to work while the sash is guaranteed. All small things. Great vid nonetheless
We hit 250K! Thank you so much! 😭❤️ Subscribe and help us get to 1 million!
You are welcome
Bro your gonna get there in no time people will come for great content don’t worry
The community will decide your fate
Congratulations dude🥳🥳
Congrats
Round of applause for possibly the biggest throw ever! That dang Air Balloon!
"I see things with my eyes"😂 😂
Tbf he wasn't killing manectric with anything that turn
I mean what a play! Almost as good as putting protect on a choice scarfed gengar
@bendava04 that wasn't a big throw though? Dragon ascent wasn't going to kill. It did 69.7-82.2% dmg. Even if Vinny ran Ray adamant (which he didn't), it still only did a max of 90%
I've seen worse around 😂
One cannot underestimate Frank the Tank, the Wisconsin VGC competitor from 2014
LMAO dude is a legend in the VGC scene
@@Vintendo i tho the legends was Shady or wolfe
Goats
😂😂😂😂
Omg Wisconsin get to be famous!!!! XD
Vinny really tries to prove he isn't a D-tier battler and brings scarf gengar with protect and substitute
Im unorthodox what can I say LOL
Isn't mega Gengar one of the fastest megas in the game?
@@Mephiles-1 yes lol
@@Mephiles-1 yeah which not only makes the scarf usually unesscessary in the first (though in this case it was hugefor outspeeding diancie) but the scarf makes protect and substitue functionally unpickable so his M gengar basically had only 2 moves XD
To be fair I spent like all of Ultra ball tier using a Dragonite with Band and Protect lmao
To make that kind of a team work, huge props to Frank! Man really showed the 2014 VGC tournament player side of himself. Petition for more double battles with Frank.
Oh wow, from the strongest starting move you've ever made, to the biggest throw...
Well played Chenzo
It wasn't a big throw though lol. Dragon ascent wouldn't have killed even if ray was adamant
What about running sub and protect on a scarfed gengar?
@@huntermorris7421 that was definitely a poor decision, now if it was shed tail, then that would have been a different story
@@Grumpisaurus ah yes gengar definitely learns shed tail
@@drsupriyobhattacharya7422 use critical thinking. What do you think I meant
Let’s just appreciate Vinny’s shiny beard 😂
I'd love to see a collab with WolfeyVGC. Maybe he'll teach about how running Protect and Substitute on a Scarfed mon is very bizarre lol
Kinda D tier lmao
I don’t even play competitive and I just have to wonder what Vinny is smoking sometimes with these item and move combinations
The Frank edit for Absol had me DEAD 🤣🤣 #bringbackFranksOldHair
He was a rockstar 😂
The choice scarf gengar with protect and substitute is a pretty bold strategy
It makes no sense at all
Only recently discovered Vinny but holy shit this guy's content is off the charts, always funny, always quality, keep it up boss
Thank you SO much!! Welcome to the family!!
Welcome to this crazy Family 😂
Ya welcome to the family. Hope you enjoy the content to come.
Welcome to Vinnys hell
The thumbnail on this one is absolutely fantastic, it’s probably my favorite one yet
EDIT: I also loved the team breakdown segment, super engaging to watch!
Thanks so much dude!!! Amy went ham as usual!!
Team overview segment was on FIRE!!
Dude it's just Soo funny rewatching this. The fact Vinny was so hyped and said out loud he saw the air balloon with his eyes and 1 move later he goes for earth power because of so much excitement in his heart made him just throw the game makes it Soo much funnier

LOL thanks brother !!
I don't know if that throw warrants staying in the D tier, may even be a demotion in the works 😂
@@Li_Mn Forget the throw, what about putting substitute and protect on a scarfed mon? 😂
Choice Scarf Protect and Choice Scarf Sub😂
Vinny you kill me.
🤪🤪
Very D tier battler of him
Famous last words "I see the air balloon, I see things with his eyes"
that had my lmao hahahahaha
I really love the way you did the team breakdown in this vid!
Great video as always! 🤩
1:19
Is because we needed a XP farming Pokémon 🗿
The team breakdown is so engaging. It helps getting to know the team.
Cenzo really is going beyond! … to E tier
😂😂😂😂😂
Leave it to Vinny to run protect and sub on a mon with choice item aka, locks itself into a single move.
The man is an S tier content creator, regardless of battle strategy 😂
The editing is so fire! Great production!
Slippboy the goat!!
Vinny having protect on a choice scarfed Gengar is such a Vinny thing lol I love it
Substitute too 😭
this doesnt have that much to do w the video but i absolutely ADORE absol and it made me so happy to see him at 0:28 especially w how looked over he is in the community
That ending with the air balloon was so sad and funny at the same time. Great video vinny
That was hilarious. In the jungle the quiet jungle the Charizard burns your ass. 😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely my favorite video on this channel . I need more double battle shenanigans
Massive respect for doing a team breakdown before the battle. Love that!
Vinny needs to play baseball with how strong he's capable of throwing 💪 😂
I love that everyone is always a good sport when they lose. But when Vinny loses, he somehow pulls it off in the funniest way that I semi cheer for him to lose because I know he’s gonna make me laugh.
Loving the team breakdown
i love the team review you guys did b4 the battle!
scarf protect is an interesting choice lol. Loved the video though!
i'm amazed at frank's comeback.
Gotta love that Scarf Protect 😅
And sub!!!
Bless his heart
Thank you for bringing megas back, i've missed them soo much
Putting Protect and Substitute on a choiced pokemon?????? Interesting choice, my dude.
That was the biggest choke I have seen xD. Literally calling out the air balloon and proceeds to click earthpower.
Vinny every time D-teir comes up
" you pressed the battler rank button....ya shouldn't have done that"😂😂
THE MEGA BROS ARE BACK!!!
HECK YEAH!!
I discovered this channel through shorts 2 weeks ago and now I'm obsessed.
Vinny went from i appreciate and love you to a heel turn real quick lol
1:24 Subscribe to Vintendo for his D - Tier play with Mega Rayquaza! 10:52
This was one of the best Vintendo videos I've seen all year, and that's a tall order because Vinny has that CONTENT. GG, bois.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

1:45 come on slippy you missed the chance to throw in some cya and have frank dangling from the diancie XD
Bro the "CHARRAZD BURNS YOUR ASS"got me dead🤣🤣🤣
I love the double battles! Your doing great Vinny :D
The team breakdown is a fire touch, Keep advancing my boi
Vinny moves from D-Tier to C-Tier today ladies and gents. Mostly due to him doing a lot better, but still losing and for some reason putting protect and substitute on a choice scarfed Pokémon

Great video Vin!!! remember Shady mis-plays almost every video (just gotta do it early enough you can recover lmao)
😂 vinzo you crack me up
Love how sparkly Vinny's beard is 😀
Bro can’t believe this channel had passed your main. I love the vids. Keep grinding
I'm really glad your content is always fire because the battling is still getting there 😂
I see new Vintendo content, I like the video. Plain and simple 🙌
THANK YOU JOEY!!
D goes against C and thinks he's S. Love ya Vinny, never change.
“I’m going to show you that I’m not a D tier battler” lmaoooooooo
"I see things with my eyes" needs to become merch lmao
Was a fun match, you know since Charizard had magic guard you could have gave him a life orb and the ability would cancel the damage from it :D
All I know is Vinny beard is sparkling in the video. Gotta love the beard care items he is using is working for him.
Bro put protect and substitute on his scarfed gengar💀
so uhh, best move item combo being the protect and choice scarf. love you guys so much. I just found it funny.
Ughhhh Vinny, I genuinely felt sad when I saw that you went for Earth Power. I was rooting for you!!!
it's crazy to see how far you have come along in battling. You are a different breed than way back in the VERSUZZZZZ era with Dobbs.
Loving the team breakdown. I'm gettin some tips
Great video guys. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personalities.
this video had me laughing so hard, great video, great edits!!
Last move bringed you down to E-Tier, congrats 🤣
The content with you both is always a great watch ❤️❤️
Vinny's beard is so freakin shiny I love it so much *Beard Envy*
Use beard oil!!
Ooooh snap another mega video I love these ones 🥳🥳
Frank is just the best, love that guy. Him and Vinny? Hell yeah!!!
I love vintendo beard, becouse when u look at his mic and beard i dont see a difference :D
The last part 😂😂 this what happened when I smoke and play 😂😂
Damn, Vinny's beard so bright it be making the sun jealous!
Mega Evolution Is The Best Gimmick ever made and you can’t tell me otherwise
Seeing Vinny grow by thousands a day makes me so happy
The choice scarf Gengar with sub and protect is perfect
Therapist: "Backrooms Gengar isn't real. It can't hurt you."
Backrooms Gengar: 1:02
Gengar with Choice Scarf and Protect? Oh Vinny...
Great vid, I had some suggestions for the future. Idk if it matters too much, but if you are running choice scarf, protect is not really viable and also it is better to use a focus sash over a band as a band has a chance to work while the sash is guaranteed. All small things. Great vid nonetheless
As a vgc player this was more fun to watch then actual vgc
Bro….. I’m sry but the sad music and flashback had me weak 😂😂. Thanks for making me laugh Vinny ❤.
Thanks for watching dude!!
Too much excitement gets u air ballooned 😂😂😂😂
Congrats on getting past 250k. Can't believe how far the channel has come in such a short time. Keep it up.
I instant like and subscribed to Audino 😂
Thank you for the entertaining video.
Thanks again Vinny, Congrats on 250K
Was it just me or did I read it as”hatching mega Pokémon,then we double it and gone it to the next person”.
So nobody is talking about vinny running a choiced gengar with protect 💀💀 yes seems like a 200 iq play to mee let's go Vinny 😂💀💀💀💀
Great job my guy can't believe we surpassed the main channel let's go
