Content has been especially great as of late love seeing these vids pop up in my feed
Hey Freezai, love this kind of content, esp. commentary in tournament games, hope we can see more. It's unfort you didn't get the win, but could I suggest maybe slow down a touch and putting less emphasis on predictions? Between this and your randbats (esp the most recent video), I feel like you tend to overpredict the opponent, play fast and perhaps lose track of what both players actually need to win the game. You're a very smart, high-level player so I'm sure you'll be right back in the mix in the next tour!
No he wouldn't he already lost he's out
Pov: You have to read terrible comments
These commentry vids are great, keep em coming.
The sad part is that using Knock Off against Fini might've won the game, since the follow up knock off would've brought Nidoking into low hp range and then Kartana would pretty much have a free game. Knock Off would've killed Nidoking and also would've given Kartana the +1 boost neccessary to 1v1 the weakened Ferrothorn since that one can't actually heal back up against a Kartana spamming Knock Off.
Thats a lot of knock off.
Knockoff was the winning play for sure, he was worried Fini had def investment but knew Zera lived, Zera would knock off the scarf and definitely it 2hkos.
If I know someone might switch for type immunity/advantage then knockoff is always the best decision.
Gonna dispel this idea. Freezai lost the game period. Knock Off would've done 64% max to Nidoking (not standard 252/252+, it's x/252+/256-x as you can see from Lele Damage), which OHKOs it with Earth Power (Flamethrower was only used in the game because he was locked onto Plasma Fists). Knock Off then gets the revenge kill and gains a +1. Ferrothorn was 252/252+, so it lives a Knock Off even at +1 and a crit. This means that Ferro can Knock Kartana off. After SR, 1 layer of Spikes, a Knock Off from Ferro and 2 Barb chips means that Superpower from Torn-T kills after even after a min roll (Note that Kartana is no longer faster than Torn-T 352 vs 348 because Scarf would've been Knocked).
The best play would be to hope for a Sacred Sword double crit. Even after +1 Knock Off from Zera, Nido still lives a max roll Sacred Sword. If he crit that he'd gain the +1. Ferro comes in and actually lives a +1 Sacred Sword, but if he critted again, he'd knock the Ferro out, and still have scarf intact. His chance of doing so would be extremely low, but that was the only situation he could win from there.
@@Amariuo Sacred sword vs Nidoking with 50 hp (just a random guess, don't think it'd be much more) does 24-29%, +1 knockoff from Zera does 56-66. So that is likely a kill, +1 Sacred sword vs 252/252+ def Ferro does 64-75, and ferro would be at 70 due to stealth rocks. So I don't think he needed a crit on anything.
Cool video! May I suggest you to just play normally and then save the replays to commentate them instead? Maybe that can help you concentrate for the match because I understand playing a serious match while commentating is hard
I would love a video about why Future Sight is currently used in the metagame. I've only been somewhat passively engaged with competitive Pokemon, but I just looked it up and it seemed like it was buffed to its current form all the way in Gen 6, but I don't recall it ever seeing play before this generation.
it's always had a level of utility but teleport (with its buff this gen) added a safe pivot option for bulky users like slowbro/slowking who also became meta this gen
So you know how some pokemon can only defensively check offensive pokemon if they’re above a specific % of HP? you can leverage hazards (stealth rock, spikes) to whittle down their check to your offensive pokemon.
Similarly you can just pivot to a slow pokemon, set up further sight and more importantly teleport after that. You get your frail offensive pokemon like kartana out and if they switch to their check that check gets domed not only by your attack, but also by the strong future sight.
You are seeing future sight more because of the teleport change than because of the future sight itself. It’s a potent wall breaker combo.
I absolutely love this kind of competitive content. I enjoy the direct commentary, as well as post analysis!
Dude the more I see your content the better I get in random battles... Now my rating is 1800+...thanks man. your commentary is what makes you unique.. Keep it up
Are you monetized? In these videos I don’t see ads and you definitely deserve to make money off of these videos.
This video have more than 10 ads for me
I feel like there should be a Castform
Thought you were TCnické
The title said "weather war" not "yike war"
But seriously this mon stats are terrible
I like running setup moves on scarfers just because knockoff is so common, it's almost a double utility because it's still useful without the item
I also agree, i ABSOLUTELY love banded weavile, even when not the beat up set, axel just does so much to everything that isn't resist, basically if those 2-3 resist go down weavile can safely spam axel
When you were saying metronome Zapdos, I was thinking, weird but ok, also didn't know it got metronome, then I eventually figured out that it was metronome the item and then I realized that those two had the same name
I love these types of videos!
I love your videos, nya!
Me when you upload: ... nice!
Wtf r these comments
scarf kartana with swords dance was interesting to see
never forget about weather ball
Nidoking is such a beast.
Damn. The knock off at the end would've won.
Entertaining watch
Wait... beat up doesn't proc iron barbs?
Ye
As someone with a background in competitive TCGs and VGC, but no background in competitive singles tournaments, what are the rules as far as your teams go? Most TCGs have a sideboard to adjust your deck with between games, and VGC has the aspect of only bringing 4 pokemon of your 6 each game, both as ways to adjust to your opponents on the fly, while still restricting you to a specific deck/team. Here I just see you selecting another team between games, seemingly with no restriction. Do you have to submit a specific number of teams that you're locked into using for the tournament, or is it literally freeform as far as what you choose to play in any given round (assuming it's legal within the tier)?
Smogon tournaments don't usually have restrictions -- they're playing on a simulator, after all
I lost to Trade last round, shame I wasn’t able to play you
At 7:26, I think you forgot that you had a scarf on your lando!
The lando didnt outspeed Zapdos tho? He just got the roost prediction wrong.
yeah scarf lando was still slower than that zapdos, it was the right play but his prediction was wrong.
Freeze dry should be 4x effective
In the end of the episode, why did he use plasma fists instead of close combat?
Is there any way to play SwSh UU in 2024?
SpDef scarf lando is heat
you say you have beat up weavile, but there's no beat up? its knock off, low kick, triple axel, ice shard
and wdym by metronome? the move or?
edit: i got zapdos, but still, whats the deal with weavile?
He said that banded weavile is popular with beat up but said “I don’t have beat up”
Beat up wevile is his second team
Is this your first time consuming any pokemon related content or did you watch the video at ×2 speed and didn't even pay attention to what was actually happening?
Try watching the video first.
Zapdos item is Metronome
Kinda sad you lost tbh. You're analysis with the game is sky high if you ask me. Hope you get them next time
Got outplayed there
When’s road to top ten?
Hi, enzonana
nice video, get a pop filter
I don't play this game but feel like you switch too much when you could be attacking or setting up.
and that's why he plays the game and not you
@@jacksnell6108 yes that's why, and totally not because I chose not to play it.
lmao i love reading comments from plebs like this, just so funny. You don't know anything about the game but think you can give advice to a proven competitive player. What next? you'll watch the World Cup and give recommendations to them too?
@@aryman6589 lmao lmao (?)
no, I just want their feedback on my opinion.
@@Chizzoide switching is quite simply the single most important action in Pokemon singles. Switching being so incredibly central is the reason Stealth Rocks have been the singular best move in the game for generations. There is no excessive switching, at all, in these matches showcased.
Hi enzonana
your teams couldve been way better
Dang Nam it
