Infernape is an SFMA by today's standards
>this made sinnoh uncs shit their pants in terror in 2007lmao
>>58741825Meanwhile, the BW OU analysis>Lucario is completely unviable and outclassed in the metagame due to its unimpressive Speed, defensive ineptitude, and lack of distinctive advantages over its competition.
What is SFMA mean for non-Smogon folks.
>>58741857It means slow frail mixed attacker, the hoenn special basically.
>>58741857it doesn't mean anything. smogon isn't real. it's just a fan game unrelated to pokemon. off topic posts should be banned
>>58741882Even if its unofficial that doesnt make it off topic.
>>58741857>non-smogonHas nothing to do with smogon, it’s more for comp in general. It means “Slow Frail Mixed Attacker”. Think Cacturne.
>>58741878>>5874189390 speed is decent? That's nowhere near "hit them with a trick room" speed
>>58741886Smogon is off topic.
>>58741780120 is the new base 100
>>58741825>this nuclear holocausted sinnoh uncs in 2006
Gimmick for Infernape when??
>>58741920lol
>>58741921How about Iron Fist and a bunch of punch moves?
>>58741897> 90 speed >decentanon…
>>5874212590 used to be decent, it's just above all those base 80-89 speed mons that are always competitively relevant. The problem with Lucario is that these 80 or something mons are usually bulky and have other qualities that Lucario lacks. So Lucario is basically the worse of both worlds, too slow for a frail mon and frail for a slower mon. And it lacks anything else to be better than other mons.
Pokemon stats need a general rebalancingJust cut the stats of all pokemon in half to start with, making the difference between them smaller.
>kanto uncs trembled with fear seeing this
>>58741825No it wasn't Infernape was merely okay. Its spotlight was being an actual good non legendary Fire-type. The Fighting type everyone shat themselves over was the same as the previous game, the fucking mushroom
>>58742235you have to understand that 110 speed was nasty back then
>>58741780>"faithful recreation" Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl cucked him out of a mega
>>58742310"heckin love letterino' PLAss cucked him into being a wild pokemon
>>58742310>>58742316Are you still mindbroken? Shouldn't you be playing your dream game ZA?
powercreep is one hell of a drug
>>58741882Hey Verlisify
>>58741780'Nape is a jobber through & through, Emboar maybe dogshit but at least they tried something unique with Fire/Fighting instead of blatantly riding on the coattails of BlazikenWASHED
>>58742310saved him from a mega*
>>58742397Really, a lot of it comes down to abilities. Once they started throwing shit like Protean, Grassy Surge, Libero etc on starters is when the creep happened.
>>58742913Gen 4 was the start and arguably the biggest>stealth rock gives offense a much easier time pressuring the slower builds of old>tons of strong moves with negligible drawback like CC, brave bird, U-Turn, Draco, 120BP Outrage>physical/special split buffing a lot of already good mons>choice specs/scarf and life orb take the general power level through the roof
