the new new [things I can't say the name of because the word flags the post as spam] don't let you post if you don't [need proof of legitimacy]; it acts like you still need to complete a [rhymes with matcha] but you can't because it says [proof of legitimacy not necessitated]
>>58747801Years of stall has made them think wasting time is intelligent strategy
>>58747801I do this from turn 1 every time I do showdown and it's hilarious
i do this when i know i'm winning to stick it a little further up my opponent's ass
>>58747801they want you to forfeit
Your fault for playing smogon
>no we are not gonna cut down the time to 20 or 30 seconds>we want people to take 2 minutes every turn and use our calculator for every single moveinsane
>>58747867What?
schizo thread
>>58749091i think there's occasionally a ladder for random battles where the move timer is forced on with a 15 second limitimagine if there were blitz formats for metagames with teambuilders
>plays an autistically specific metagame centred around an already particularly virulent, vibrant and vivacious autism magnet>is somehow surprised when spergs he plays against chuck an autist fit because they're no plot-armoured Ash Ketchum, the protagonist and battle savantPlay on cart. Shit, newest games are shaped to buttfuck AFK'er's
>>58747867new captcha works on my machine
>>58749339cart games take 1000 years because of all the animations. damned if you do damned if you dont
>>58749339>an already particularly virulent, vibrant and vivacious autism magnetSomebody's been watching V for Vendetta
>>58749311Does OU Blitz no longer exist?
>>58749311I mostly want blitz because I hate waiting on turns. 15 seconds would be very nice.
>>58749417either you're correct or it's just hidden out of the way enough for OP to need to make this thread to complain about the turn timer on showdown being too long
>>58749576OP here, I play VGC not singles. No idea if blitz exists or not but unless they did one for doubles it wouldn't help regardless

>>58747801They're calculating. You wouldn't get it.
>>58749398Ain't seen that in donkey's years lad, since it came out on DVD I think (good flick as I recall). Nah, I was feeling flowery this morning, saw an opportunity for some alliterative fun and ran with it.
>>58747801>why do they all fucking do this?Mental retardation, anon
>>58750346name one (1) word that does
>>58753092I don't think there's another word that rhymes with captcha unless you have an accent that terminates final-r like some bonglish dialects, where they might pronounce it very similarly to its origin, "capture". "Matcha" on the other end rhymes with "Gotcha". I can't think of anything else that rhymes with it as well.
>>58753105>"Matcha" rhymes with "Gotcha"stopped reading, turned 360 degrees, and walked away from my computer right therehow the fuck does matcha rhyme with gotcha? matcha rhymes with gacha
>>58753134gacha and gotcha are pronounced the same...
>>58753179>gacha and gotcha are pronounced the same...do burgers really?
>>58753092Thatcher.
>glhfAw fuck.
>>58753239?
>>58753239>glhf>they complain when i get good luck
>>58749582>OP here, I play VGC
>>58753185fun fact: the english language has deviated further from its roots in the british isles and australia than it has in some places in the US. Not the broad mid-atlantic accent mind you, but yes.Regardless of this, yeah, as a native speaker of english, the term that's derived from "got" (featuring the cot-caught merger) with an append and the japanese loanword pronounced with some general level of accuracy (not precise but intended to be reminiscent, as is common in loanwords in american accents) resemble one another very closely.
>>58753134>turned 360 degrees, and walked away from my computerBut you just walked INTO your computer
>>58753569holy fucking newfag. somebody purge this entire board.

>>58754519How would you even hack on showdown, isn’t everything server side?
>>58754674They're retarded, you see
>>58747867Maybe you shouldn't post anymore
i like winning with gimmick teamsit doesnt happen a lot, i lose often, but beating people with an all electric team is fun
just had one now. at least he had the decency to DC
>>58758186>at least he had the decency to DChe did that so you'd have to wait an extra minute, lol
>>58758192nah, if you DC when the turn timer is ticking down, you auto lose when the first timer ends
Do compfags unironically calc every move?Seems rude to make your opponent wait.
>>58758369ive been watching some singles shit on youtube and it seems like they do it decently often. the move timer is longer in singles. from my experience (playing ladder vgc) its more normal just to pick up a sense from experience of what does and doesnt kill popular mons in the format. you probably could calc with the 45s window but ive never felt a huge need once im decently comfortable with a team
>>58758369Only for uncommon circumstances or when you're in a corner normally. You get a good sense for common matchups.
Have you ever looked up your username on replays to see everyone who was proud to beat you?
>>58758624>playing back before auto-privating battles was a thing>whoop someone's ass>they make the room private and unlist the replay before forfeitingExtremely satisfying, the seethe was palpable every time
>>58758624Huh, there are quite a lot. People who lost to me, too.
>>58747801to give you more time to enjoy your victory
>>58753187Don't say it with a hard r please
