Thanks, Tim! Didn't know you were around! I'm working on a third now, should be done relatively soon. I appreciate the kind comments.

Cloud's pretty good, but his recovery is so bad that I just play him the same way as I play Little Mac; wait for his approach, throw him off stage, and gimp him.
Cloud is much better than Mac, of course, and has a ton of potential, but I think his potential to be gimped is too bad to allow him to be a top tier. Still a character to be prepared for. 33

Update! This topic is now an art dump for all Mega Evolution sprites I will be doing in this style. Added to the collection - Mega Lucario!
![]() After redoing my Mega Blaziken scratch sprite (in the first post!), I was struck with an urge to continue making scratch sprites. This time I chose Mega Lucario. This sprite took a few weeks to go from start to finish, and I'm very proud of the end result. What do you guys think? 34

Defining strongest is hard. Dealing most damage? Taking hits the best? Overall competitive prowess? Ah well, here goes:
Bug: Mega Pinsir Dark: Mega Tyranitar Dragon: Mega Rayquaza (/Mega Salamence) Electric: Fairy: Mega Mawile Fighting: Mega Blaziken Fire: Primal Groudon (/Darmanitan) Flying: Ho-Oh Ghost: Aegislash / Mega Gengar Grass: Ferrothorn Ground: Landorus-Therian (/Garchomp) Ice: Kyurem-White (/Mega Abomasnow) Normal: Mega Kangaskhan Poison: Mega Venusaur Psychic: Mega Mewtwo Y (/Mega Metagross) Rock: Terrakion Steel: Mega Lucario Water: Primal Kyogre (/Azumarill) Welp that took a long time. Non-legendary options in parenthesis. 35
Team Building / Re: Monotype Ground Team - Darude Sandstorm (OU)« on: January 29, 2016, 13:33 »
Timid > Naive on Nidoking, no reason for Naive if you're not running anything physical.
Swords Dance > Shadow Claw on Excadrill, SD allows it to actually sweep while Shadow Claw's coverage is largely unimportant. Mega Camerupt is a pretty poor choice for OU in general. Surprised at the lack of Garchomp, it's easily one of your better options for such a team. This seems to be a heavy offense team, and with the reliance on Sand, MegaChomp could work, but Choice Band is probably more consistent overall. 36

Random Randomness / Re: tell me your secrets [confessions thread]« on: January 29, 2016, 13:22 »
I think competitive Pokemon is very loosely competitive at best.
I kind of miss writing PotW, despite never actually having time to do it and interest being next to non-existent. I wish I handled some things I've done better. Secretly, I'm a little bit naive. I've probably sustained more injuries in my life from playing video games than all of the other injuries combined, both minor and major (I'll thank years of Rock Band for my carpel tunnel syndrome). I've never smoked, drank, or done any drugs in my life, though it's less about a moral high ground than it is a fear of my addictive personality. I have compulsions that if I attempted to explain, would make me sound insane. I've tried hard to be the kind of person I want to be for many years, and failed many times over. I don't expect I'll stop trying, but I felt the need to confess that. I'm extremely fallible. I love competitive Smash 4 to a frankly unhealthy degree, both as a player and spectator. A tin can lid almost cut off my entire pinky finger when I was maybe 5 years old. The scar is very visible, but you'd never notice it unless I pointed it out. I was beaten unconscious and possibly close to death once. I can't swim and have a deep fear of drowning. 38

Funny, I was going to say the same to you, Muhed, but you're really not worth my time. ![]() cool, richard. Ahh, sorry, sylar! D: I'll drop you a message! 41
Random Randomness / 10 years« on: May 19, 2015, 10:28 »Anyway, in my ten years here, I've made many friends and many memories. Without pulling any punches at all, I'm gonna talk about everyone that has made an impact on me. Utack - You get the first spot because meeting you changed my life the most of anyone here. I consider you my best friend, and even now that we both have real jobs and talk once a week if we're lucky, I love you like a brother and I have your back no matter what. Tim - You'll never read this because you flew the coop long ago, but you and I were great friends. Still are, but we just don't have the time anymore. I learned so much from you, and those memories helped shape who I am. Muhed - I sincerely hope you have a great life, and I also never have to deal with you again, so I'm having a great life! I've heard how much you miss me though. ![]() bread - You're cool, man. Keep being you. Claire - Maaan, you're just awesome. I love your art, I love that you love weird, niche things, some of which I appreciate just as much (Link's Awakening!), you're just so cool. You're one of those people I'd love to meet someday, but never actually will. Dragoncat - I didn't get to know you as well as I'd like, but you're a really nice person, and I appreciate your work on PotW a lot more than I ever said. I really hope you see the positives in life more. Life gets better, I swear. If you ever need someone to talk to, just drop me a message, okay? Kay - Nicest person of the year 20+ years in a row. Wish we talked more often, like with many others here, but everyone gets busier as they get older, such is life. Joeno - Honestly, thanks for all your help here. All the stories I was told doesn't really reflect the nice guy I found you to be. I don't know you very well, but I enjoyed doing work for the site. Alex - Haven't spoken to you much in ages, but we had some good talks. Dunno how life is going for you, but I hope you're doing well. Last time we spoke, you seemed to be in better spirits, so I hope you keep your head up through it all. Bluffy - Sorry for some things, not for others, doesn't really matter, we've moved on with life. Aidan - Not sorry, but hope you're doing well. Sam - Hope you're doing well, but also not sorry. JSM - Wish I'd gotten to know you better, but you're by far the best battler I've ever faced on the site. Rex - When the next Zelda comes out (NEXT YEAR ;-; ), I will come to IRC or something and we'll talk for hours! Liam - Stop it, you're supposed to be 12. Paul - Your art is weird, but I get a kick out of it. I'll get you that Shaymin one of these weekends, sorry buddy! SB2K - You annoyed the hell out of me for a while, but I like ya. You remind me a lot of me in many ways, as I've said before. You're a good kid, try to keep the ego in check though. We should play Smash Bros. together more often or something. Dick - DON'T LET THE PEOPLE ON STAGE LEFT KNOW THE SCRIPT! Also, stop falling for Nintendo's freeware games or else I'll find you (But also thanks for letting me know how playable Rumble World is without spending any money). We need to find more time to talk, even though we disagree on everything in life. Sizacu - If I had any time in life anymore, I'd apply those changes to the sprite that you suggested, but I don't, so... that's a shame. You're a brilliant pixel artist, and you always seemed too smart for your age. If I ever do get that time, I'll be sure and show you the remodeled sprite! Well, that's just about everyone. There were a few others that I was friends with, but they're not here anymore. This place played a major part in shaping who I have become over the past ten years, and I appreciate it so much. Ten years provides way too many memories to consolidate into a single post, so let me just say, thanks for the memories! 42

My best buddy Utack turns 24 today! It feels like Utack and I have been friends forever, he's such an awesome dude, and he's always got my back no matter what! ...Unless the Ursaring come, then we're on our own! He isn't getting eaten by any bears, let me tell you!
Utack's a hilarious, witty, charming guy that has a multitude of talents. It seems that once he sets his mind to doing something, nothing will stop him! So wish Utack a happy birthday, and don't make Swampy Mega Evolve and crush you! ...Because Utack doesn't like being reminded of Mega Swampy! (Sorry buddy!) 44

Thanks buddy! As many may (or may not) have realized, I'm no longer an active part of these forums, but this place will always hold a place in my heart. I love this site, and the friends and memories it has given me.
Thank you, Utack, for being a super amazing friend to me, I could certainly never repay everything you've done for me. Thanks everyone here that accepted me and befriended me. ![]() 45
Random Randomness / Re: The three line "How ya doin'" topic« on: February 02, 2015, 15:18 »
I see nothing wrong with expressing disinterest in something I had been only vaguely familiar with until yesterday. I was also forced to be in the same room with it for hours with nothing else to do, so I was mostly venting without expecting a response, which is why my comment was intentionally short and (I thought) unoffensive. I still don't see the problem with my initial statement, but it seems like expressing any kind of opinion here is a bad idea these days.
Calm down SB2K, this'll be the last I say on the matter, and if you feel the need to report it, go on. |
