    It's unironically really inspiring how Braden let the popular meme of him fumbling the bag in a gen 3 nuzlocke fuel him to be an incredible gen 3 nuzlocker.
    After everything you've been through, you've earned this win big time.

    It's amazing how neck and neck it was at the end between you and Jacob were at the end now knowing that you had a 3rd technical issue the race wasn't paused for.

    • @PointsofData
      @PointsofData Рік тому +31

      Yeah Kidd would've fucking ran away with it if not for those technical issues. Even if everyone paused and didn't get ahead of him, that momentum and spirit was lost for a bit and took awhile to get back. And of course, Flash was lost.

    He’s gone from botching up a Gen 3 Nuzzlocke with the unintentional death of an Onix to taking the crown over 5 other content creators with very intense and careful planning, in the same generation.
    That’s some real character development right there.

    For those wondering about the mentioned Explosion Meditite plan for Tate and Liza, here's how it works:
    Lead Boomer and 1 hp medicham. T&L see kill with both into Medicham, so you detect. The boomer can get hit from Claydol eq here as long as it doesn't die to new gen crits. Boom onto your detect, killing your boomer, Xatu, and Claydol. Send out a fake out Mon and fake out one of Solrock and Lunatone while reversal ohkoing the other. Reversal ohko the last Mon to get a quick Tate and Liza with one planned death and hype UA-cam content.

    Easy fix for races like these. Have a timer going from the start of the race to the end. If you have problems like you did and have to restart from the absolute start then you restart the timer. So at the end of the day you all compare timers… then they dont have to wait. Such a simple answer

    I'm just still suprised nobody took Chansey or anything. I understand the logic behind the decision but it's SUCH a safe pick.
    Serene grace w/ softboiled, calm mind and any 2 coverage moves you want could probably deal with well over half the battles in the match in case you dont have a mon to reliably deal with it.
    With how many people didn't get any fire mons due to the sun team it made a good susbstitue. Smeargle as well in a way but. I get why Smeargle got left out for a race.

    I think the play for Sceptile is to delay Treecko's evolution until you get energy ball at level 37, since you aren't really using it until Tate and Liza, and energy ball is much better than leaf blade because it is special.
