I remember back when I was like 11 I immediately figured out that No Guard + Dynamic Punch was hax as fuck and I kept pissing off my friends with it, I'm impressed that it took nearly 20 years for it to get banned (just because it threatens another hax mon that even worse anyway lol)

explain to a noob what was hax0r about this

Dynamic punch under normal circumstances is “I have to hit a coin flip, then you have to hit a coin flip!” No guard removes the first part of that to ensure that the opponent has to win a 50/50 to even do anything for as long as machamp is out

To be fair so does confuse ray and it has more pp
>>
>>
>>57222451
I want to be held by Machamp.
>>
>>57224626
Confuse Ray doesn't also hit for 100BP Fighting type damage
Machamp also has no miss Stone Edge and is bulky enough to tank at least one Psychic at full health and kill your psychic type with Payback
>>
>>57225410
I look like this
>>
>>57223316
Dynamicpunch forcing constant coinflips ended up being annoying apparently

"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.

I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I'll suffer through a few more games for them.

One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me.
