Don't you hate it when you get matched up with someone good in the opening round of a tourney? Someone has to make an undeserved early exit.

Anyways, I have a wifi battle for you guys today (holy crap!). Been a while, but I haven't had the time to play all that much, and none of the battles I had were anything worth posting. Had a good match with Chongo though. ROYGBIV tourney rules were weird. I decided to test out a Crobat I've been working on because I wanted to see what he can do. Turns out, Crobat is totally awesome and I can't wait to use him in a standard match when I'm not constrained by item clause, because that really stripped the support I could give him.

--Spoilers--
Match thoughts:
I need to play more NU. A Sharpedo lead, really? I don't remember what the secondary move on those guys are. Crunch? Earthquake? Ice Fang? 2 of those are cleanly resisted by Scizor and I know Waterfall isn't a 2HKO. I just know they have Aqua Jet, Waterfall, and taunt.

Crit screwed Scizor, but even Sceptile would die to a crit Waterfall and Aqua Jet combo, although I'd much rather lose Sceptile than Scizor.

I just know that Porygon-Z is spec'd. I dunno if it's a spidey sense or what, but for some reason that strikes me as a great item to have on Porygon-Z with item clause in effect. Pert can take the hit so i can revenge KO, although losing both my OUs kinda stink.

He thinks this Arcanine is physical. I am about to roast his Sandslash switch to hell...or not. I paraflinched someone to death in a match earlier today so I guess I had it coming. Keeping rocks off the field was so important. Drats.

I WILL NOT BE SWEPT BY AN APE!

Post game: I thought we both played really clean games and it's a shame 2 people who know what they're doing ended up playing in rd 1. I made good predictions all game but the early hole was just a little too deep to climb out of. A miss with Stone Edge could have made things pretty interesting, as that pretty much creates a 1-0 in most scenarios in my head. As to who wins that scenario, we'll never know! I love this Crobat so far though :)

Chongo's channel: You can find him in the TPX chatroom and he seems like a pretty chill guy also. He has ~500 videos so give him a check ;)
