On another note here is a recording of Haffi v Pecorine for those that missed it. https://youtube.com/live/a3if3Zvqo54?feature=share our first successful streamed game.

Brb, about to get bodied by Water.

>>59446214
Any suggestions on what to name the streams? I'll try my best to be around for all matches so we have them recorded, but figured it might be worth it to give them proper names or even make each match its own stream by quickly turning the stream on and off.

>>59446430
Wait, isnt this your second match?
Shit i gotta go check when is mine, this is moving a lot faster than i expected.
>>59446523
I mean we are just testing stuff out. Maybe something like M-B Champions vp draft league: X vs X, kind of like the monotype one?
Ill probably do something similar.
Will do a test stream on Thursday or something once i have time, to see the quality.

>>59446541
>round 2 of monotype is vs flying
>bird of rape incoming
Aight fuck me i guess. Why cant i have the water matchup, cmon.

>>59446430
what do i need to do to get commentators for our matches like this

>>59446772
You'd need them to join the stream and get the desktop audio streamed alongside the Switch audio.

>>59446772
Probably setup the stream to discord and have commentators join. I wouldnt mind commentating, but doing it alone seems a bit silly.

>>59446854
>Set Up Stream
>Get commentators in discord
>Stream OBS through discord so commentators don't have a delay
Should be fairly easy. Over phone, no idea.

>>59446886
Its the same, just that instead of OBS, PRISM live handles the game stream. You can duplicate the phone screen to the pc and still have the same experience.
If we are hesitant on discord, something like jitsi also works.

Some math:
>Clamsy is guaranteed to make it to the semifinals (4th seed at worst)
>If Jams wins this week, he'll also guarantee a spot in semis
>If Friday wins this week, he may guarantee a spot in semis depending on how the other matches go

>No one is out of the running for semis, though Haffi can't be 1st seed
>Even if Jams, Friday, or Pecorine lose 2-0 this week, they'll still be in the running next week
>Even if Sneed or Haffi lose 2-1 this week, they'll still be in the running next week. If they lose 2-0, it'll depend on how the other matches go.
Sorry if this is wrong, I didn't show my work.

>>59447596 (Me)
Pecorine and Sneed should also be mentioned in line 3, along with Friday

>>59447596
There is another round of matches after everyone played everyone?

>>59447767

>>59453396
this is choppy as hell,
my fault for using a phone from 2022 then. Ill see if i can get the quality of the stream higher, but i dont think i can get the gameplay to be smoother

>>59453464
why can't you stream on switch?

>>59453535
i guess i could, i just havent attached the thing to twitch. Next time ill see if PRISM live could simulcast to both yt and twitch at the same time

>>59453539
in any case its watchable at least so a choppy recording is better than no recording

>>59453539
>if PRISM live could simulcast to both yt and twitch at the same time
welp cant do that. I have to subscribe to the premium plan to get this, and im not doing that.
I think for the time being it has to be yt

>>59453535
oh Switch, i thought you said Twitch.
that requires a capture card, which i dont have.

FUCK I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE GONE MENTAL HERB

GG my entire plan was around floette and she didn't get to do ANYTHING. how did i pull that off.

I fucking knew fake out intimidate+ trickroom were going to ne tge fucking bane of my existance.
But I had no idea how to.prep around it.

You won that overwhelmingly.

we are currently 2nd on the ladder

>>59459478
100% deserved.
I couldn't do a thing against you.

>>59459491
another week of getting carried by wise gorilla ape. taunt almost completely fucked my gameplan, i was banking on you not trying it because i had mental herb last week.

pecorine should be here in 20 and haffi has gone awol

>>59459500
I was fucked regardless if you did have it, because I can't deal with trick room.
Even on the ladder it is the bane of my existance.
It was either that or make some big ballsy play where I run trick room on whimsi to nullify your trick room, but that wpuld be even more impossible for me to navigate through.

>>59459504
Gonna save some battery and go do something else for now.. I'll be here itt whenever Haffi shows up.

>>59459504
He said PST, not EST. Assuming that wasn't a typo, that's three hours away.

>>59459508
i remember hearing somewhere thats its good draft practice to have many diversified speed tiers for this exact reason. I tried to balance my speed tiers but it's probably on the slower side. Clamsy is probably a better example of balanced speed tiers.

>>59459535
Yeah makes sense now.
That mawile I traded away would have come in real handy in that last match, but I have no decent trickroom setter myself.

>>59459541
whimsicott can fill the role in a pinch, since even if it doesnt benifit from trickroom it can still be useful in it with prankster. I remember using trickroom whimsicott when i first got the game and had 0 mons because it was on one of the starter teams.

>>59459504
I'm here now. Just getting set up.

>>59459550
Prankster doesn't really do much for trickroon.
It just gives +1 priority all non-attacking moves and trick room is -7 so it will still go last.
The +1 priority only really comes into play against shit like roar which is -6.
Unless I'm missing something.

>>59459563
no i mean you still get to do usual prankster bullshit first inside trickroom

>>59459565
Ah yeah makes sense

>Chesnaught
Can outspeed 2Spe Pelipper by not mega evolving.
>Salazzle
Outspeeds non-Timid MegaChu-Y, which also covers Timid Megachu-X and non-mega. The Atk could actually matter for putting Raichu in range of M-Chesnaught Drain Punch, and putting that investment in bulk wouldn't have accomplished anything anyway. Can't touch Chesnaught!Ditto outside of Fake Out and Toxic, but that ended up hurting Ditto instead of me (partially due to me guessing which slot he'd lead Ditto into in game 2; proud of that).
>Cofagrigus
Avoids speed-tying with M-Slowbro. Max SpD isn't for anything in particular, I just didn't have any better ideas. Max HP is all that was needed to take a rain-boosted Wave Crash. Is completely walled by Chesnaught!Ditto.
>Garchomp
Outspeeds non-Jolly M-Pert in rain after a Scale Shot. Peli Weather Ball, M-Pert EQ after a Scale Shot, and (usually) MegaChu-Y Alluring Voice don't KO him after two Life Orb ticks.
>Decidueye
Outspeeds Scarfed Chesnaught!Ditto. Survives a M-Pert Ice Punch, as well as a Dark Pulse into a Zap Cannon. This leaves him with more than enough SpA to OHKO 32HP/2SpD M-Bro, which is good because he'd probably have more SpD than that. Scarf Peli would destroy this, but he's had Scarf on Ditto every week so I figured there was no way.
>Rotom
Outspeeds Peli. Survives a Zap Cannon. Helping Hand lets Salazzle probably OHKO Alcremie, and lets Chesnaught OHKO most anyone.

Now that Chesnaught's had her moment, I've officially brought every member of my draft to at least one game. There's also only one mon remaining who's been brought every single week so far: 2-point Rotom-Fan.

Anyway, my match is in two hours from now. Since Water beat Flying just now, I gotta play against it(I'm Rock).
I don't think it's gonna be a close match.

>>59459832
Im doing the math by shoving the previous matchup reports into an AI, and the match to watch this week is Peco vs Jams. This is do or die for both of them, since the other two matches are most likely not that impactful, depending if Clamsy throws the game or not.
No pressure though :)

>>59462198
Im bug against grass in a bit.
Havent studied their team yet, but if its scovillain in kind of boned. Elsewise, this should be okay, maybe.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2830875314

>>59462330
I'm pretty sure he does; be very careful.

>>59462255
Jams can lose 0-2 and still make it if BOTH Friday and Haffi lose 0-2. But if either get even a single point he will be out so likely he needs to win his match yeah.

I now realize the ordering of when we play matches might be important because the subsequent players will then know what they need to make semis. This is why they play simultaneous games in the final round of groups at the world cup i guess.

>>59462423
>Double rockslide into wide guard
Damn thats tough

Probably not winning game 1 anyways at that point, but yeesh.

yeah idk why its doing that, if its still ded when the site is back online does that mean i have to make a new one? im sure i put it as non expiry

>>59467223
i think pastebin is still fucky.
my pcg op pastebin is also down, but not 404, so i assume its just a regional location thing. who knows though, this is concerning

Just realised there is a chance for 3 way tie cycles. For example player A, B and C all have 5 points but A best B who beat C who beat A. In that case the ordering will be based on points earned against both players in the cycle. Eg, A beat B 2-1, B beat C 2-0 and C beat A 2-0, then B has 3 points against A and C but A and C only 2 points. So the final ordering would be B>C>A. Hopefully that should be enough to settle any tiebreakers. I don't think that's in the Pastebin not that it matters because it's ded currently.

The ladder will be ordered by in the following order:
1. The number of series wins.
2. The number of points
3. Head to head matchups in case of ties.

that was so gay and lame

>>59472068
That's rain for ya.

>there are 200,000+ players in masterball rank
I actually don't believe that. Competitive Pokemon isn't even that popular.

>>59472237
how many were in masterball in reg A before mobile?

>>59472237
That's like less than 1% of the fanbase

What time are the matches at?

>>59473549
im guessing friday and clamsy will play around 8-10 ish? Jams and you mayber after that?. Sneed v haffi whenever haffi wakes up.

Bump
>>59474301
>whenever haffi wakes up
ill try to wake up earlier, it should be 8-10ish also.

>>59474301
>Jams and you mayber after that?
I can play whenever from 6 to 12.

>>59475242
I can do 11pm

>>59476325
So in about 4 hours right?

>Clamsy v Friday
Must win game for Friday with only 1 win but Clamsy has nothing on the line , nothing really to play for. Clamsy also hasn't dropped a single point so far.

>Sneed v Haffi
Both coming off a 2 win streak after losing the first 2. Who's resurgence is greater? Sneed makes it regardless of the result if Friday loses but can put it beyond a doubt with a win. Haffi makes it if both Jams and Clamsy win but can guarantee it with a win.

>Jams v Pecorine
Both coming off 2 and 3 lose streaks respectively. Pecorine can really shake the ladder up with a win, a do or die game for him while Jams can still mathematically make it with a lose it's also a must win game for him to make it.

Who's getting eliminated today?

I'm ready, but wouldn't mind waiting until Haffi's around to stream.

>>59476638
Im around, who else is ready.
I have the phone up for the stream if we are starting

>>59476662
I jam am around

I am also here

>https://www.youtube.com/live/JvNI7aViwBg?si=IIF-dkDFvKKTKPhl
Livestream is up

Ok, get in
2052 0473

Sneed here also. which game should we do first then?

>>59476686
I was thinking following this >>59476538, but could be anticlimactic as you said previously.
Should we start with jams/peco then for the highest stakes?

since the result of the other games doesnt change th reality of the Friday Clamsy match, want to do sneed v haff first?

>>59476698
welp friday and clams is already in,
nvm then

well fuck looks like they are already going

>>59476695
Pecorine said that he wanted to play at 5.
So I assume that he is only available from then on

rootin for you friday.
Hate that worm

will we see mega gyarados?

huge wisp

friday bringing the bird every week it seems

hot damn, someone finally hurt the titan

is he throwing?

Clamsy actually lost?
I can't belueve it

>>59476737
i dont think so.
i do think the speed calcs is a bit wonky though, how was (i assume) scarf garde slower than +1 gyara?

Friday is currently 3rd on the ladder!

>>59476742
wait no 4th sorry, jams has 2 wins

Noooooo, altaria

THAT WORM
HE'S FAST

>>59476747
and haffi, so still 5th

hot damn that is a thicc fan

hes stacking debuffs on you

>>59476758
i assume its maybe garde in the back, so its not safe to switch in anyways

I wanted to say hyper voice would go crazy here, but damn that tailwind won't make it easy.

game 3!

>different leads every time
tricky fights here

Was gonna applaud the rotom for not missing the wisps this game, but my god that garchomp is insane

huge survival

>>59476777
>that garchomp is insane
He isn't the king of the pseudos for nothing

>>59476788
It would be sad if it didn't since it was a crit.
But damn is clamsy going to take his first

okay huge, but please dont be the worm, please dont be the worm

>>59476796
NOOOOO

>>59476796
I knew it was the worm when I saw that Tailwind

no way

GGs

>quick claw procc
>hydro misses
That is fucking painful

>that second last turn

does friday win if he hits that hydro

>>59476813
well probably not.
needs a crit and youd need the 1v1 of altaria vs orthworm

I am amazed I won even one of those, GGs. I thought you might bring Mega Altaria, and I prepped nothing for him.

>>59476813
I don't think so?
That volcarona is pretty bulky and goodra's sp.atk was lowered.
But hard to say.

aight we ready for round 2: sneed vs haffi?

so Friday is officially eliminated and that means Sneed is safe but Haffi isn't.

time to 2-0 Haffi then

oops, i disconnected from the room.
hope this doesnt reflect on the match

Who is up next?

glhf sneed

>No mega on Haffi's side
I'm intrigued

>alolan raichu into delphox and diggersby

>>59476847
I see buff stacking and I'm assuming next mon knows psyche up.
But that encore is unfortunate.

This fight is over.

aww man

no mercy

get cummed on

that was -1 under veil, wtf

IT'S NEVER OVER

Damn I know it's only 50, but I thought a quad effective stab against its weaker sp.def would kill it.

How the fuck did water spout on an 80%+ hp blastoise not kill incin?

omg
well gg, i was on the backfoot all 3 games.
i wanna bring the apple to fight blastoise, but then the niggersby spooks it out.
I have the icecream, but then delphox spooks it out.
I have incin, but then scrafty is there.

GG

>>59476895
it never oneshots it, atleast not with my spread

>>59476891
yeah i always live one hit

>>59476901
the only thing i was really worried about was armarogue clicking trickroom with oceanman ensuring it goes up with a fast fakeout. I thinks its this is a good matchup for me

61 KB MP4

>>59476907
yeah it was.
I was considering trick room somewhat, but i dont think that beats delphox cleanly enough.
Maybe i should have just hard commit with a faster incin for the scrafty so I can trick room with a faster turn 1 fake out.
>>59476841
the two megas i have : gengar and pinsir dont do jack to delphox. I know for a fact delphox was gonna be beside scrafty, so thats why slurpuff is there, but missing the kill on that 4x weakness is my mistake. I wanted to try a slower setup slurpuff with hydrapple to polen puff healing, which is why its special attack is lower. It needs to be fat to click calm mind in the first place, but doing that, as you saw means i lose to encore

with that point Haffi goes up to 3rd. So its now confirmed that the winner of Pecorine and Jams is safe. The only complication is if Pecorine wins 2-1 then Pecorine, Haffi and Jams are all in a 3-way tie and then because Jams got a point hypothetically against Pecorine he would finish 3rd and Haffi 4th because he beat Pecorine head to head. This means Haffi is safe now no matter what and Pecorine needs to win 2-0 to go through

1. Clamsy 5 10
2. Sneed 3 7
3. Haffi 2 5
4. Jams 2 4
5. Friday 1 5
6. Pecorine 1 3 4

>>59476923
>sneed 2nd place
Generational comeback.
From starting out on a losing stream to 2nd place on a strong winstreak.

Yeah I shortly realized after posting it wasn't even the 03 belt that says it's never over.
Anyway it is one of those post series suits.
They usually are more low budget.

one thing i learned this week is that do not sleep on the rotom forms.
If there ever another draft, ill be sure to snag one quick

>>59477014
Maybe it was a mistake to let go of frost, but I could not contain my disgust when I saw the only ice type move it learns was blizzard

Yo peco you ready?

>>59477230
Sorry, been a whirlwind day. Gonna need 15-20 mins

>>59477232
Okay, but I really have a hard limit on 12.
I can go again around 01:30, but I'd rather not

>>59477232
btw results from other games mean you need to 2-0 jams to make it to 4th spot and make semis

>>59477269
Ok I can go now if no stream

>>59477307
90155041
Let's do this quick

with that point, jams has qualified to semis!

>>59477314
Ggs

he held the mega so ditto didnt get it!

>>59477336
GGs bro.
I think this is the most I have prepped for a fight.


>>59477337
I actually didn't plan that.
I just forgot, because I was in a bit of a rush, but wouldn't be the first time a misplay worked out for me.

aww shit i missed it.
How was the fight?

>>59477343
yeah that was brutal, whimsicott completely shut him down

Final standings

wins: points: games played:
1. Clamsy 5 10 5
2. Sneed 3 7 5
3. Jams 3 6 5
4. Haffi 2 5 5
5. Friday 1 5 5
6. Pecorine 1 3 5

that means Clamsy vs Haffi and Sneed vs Jams in the Semi-Finals while Friday and Pecorine are eliminated.

>>59477369
a new look jams side after he made sweeping changes to his team.

Game 1. Renuclus Ariados vs Vileplume Rotom mow leads. Trick room went up but Peco's rotom mow threatened to run away with the game with discharge spam but once pyroar and kinggambit hit the field he had no answer to it

Game 2. Whimsicott Pyroar vs Swampert Pelipper leads, Whimsicott shut down Peco's answer to pyroar with sunnyday and tailwind to take control of the field.

ah man, i forgot that jams have a new set of tools since they burned through all their trades.
wish i was there to stream it.
>>59477376
thanks for friday and pecorine for following us these weeks. hope you can show support on the semis/finals
so now, its standard procedure? we get a weeks prep and then semis, and then one last week for finals/third placements?

I'll just post my team since most people missed it, but it took me hours to decide which mons I should trade after I got cucked so hard by trick room twice.
Was even thinking of trading farig for whimsi, but whimsi was just too good into this match to trade away.

>>59477544
I can give some clarification on my gameplans later if anyone cares, but I think my team is pretty straightforward.

>Chesnaught
Outspeeds Sneasler under Tailwind. Wood Hammer OHKOs 32HP/2Def Rotom, then there's a bit more Atk to reach a jump point in case he's bulkier than that (which he was). Takes a Fake Out + Hydreigon Draco Meteor, or two -1 Dire Claws
>Gyarados
Outspeeds Sneasler at +1. Survives a M-Garde Hyper Voice, and OHKOs max HP M-Garde with +1 Crunch. The rest is dumped into Def to give the Substitute the best chance of taking a -1 Sneasler CC (assuming the Intimidate sticks). Despite being brought to both games back in week 2, this marks the first week that Gyarados has mega evolved and gotten an attack off in a game
>Orthworm
1 point faster than Chesnaught, which lets Coaching go after Shed Tail. Can still Shed Tail after taking a -1 Sneasler CC, or Feint + Hydreigon Heat Wave. The rest was dumped into Atk
>Volcarona
Outspeeds Scarf Hydreigon under Tailwind. Flamethrower OHKOs 32HP/2SpD Gourgeist, which would likely cover M-Skarm as well. Takes a -1 non-Adamant M-Skarm Brave Bird, as well as a non-Adamant Sneasler Rock Tomb. I considered three different resist berries and the sash, and I'm relieved that I went with Passho
>Garchomp
Not much to say about the spread, so instead I'll say that I used to have Poison Jab over Breaking Swipe.
>Rotom
Speedcreeps a Rotom that's trying to speedcreep Jolly Gyarados. Probably takes a Fake Out + Draco. My one regret (other than not taking M-Altaria seriously while prepping) was that I didn't get to use Mold Breaker EQ with both Rotoms on the field and give Fan the validation he's always deserved.

>>59478063
frankly i dont know why didnt friday bring out the heavy hitters like hydreigon.
Scarf Hydreigon threatens chomp and orthworm, takes a gigantic chunk of rotom, and you can just spam dark pulse to eat whatever.

>>59478111
It was my TW setter and Scarf Chomp or Volc would've eviscerated it.

quick bump.

bump

bump again.
i guess ill test out in showdown since we are in maint

>>59482607
I do wondee how useful testing on the ladder actually is when we know what what our opponent is running.
Something that is good against my opponent's team might just get clapped by zard-y

>>59483036
this is why its best if you fight against a friend or something, since you can go back and forth on ideas. all the mons that worked well in ladder were utterly useless when i came rolling up for the week

Rematch prep is weird

>>59483042
But I don't wanna tell my friend I'm on 4chins.

>>59484175
Clamsy and Haffi played week 1, so even tho Clamsy hasn't changed his team, I imagine the lineups they will bring will look very different

Jams and Sneed both made changes since their matchup. Sneed is missing floette and clawitzer which both were used and Jams is missing staraptor, typhlosion and meowscarda which were used. So it's also going to be a very different game.

>>59446203
I am playing now, how do I play?

>>59486010
If you want to join the draft league it's already too late.
You'll have to wait for the next one.

>>59484392
>Muh sekrit club
You could ask someone here to help you practise as well

>>59486010
Well we are ending this draft soon, maybe will open for a season 2, but who knows.
If you want something else to do, there is the gym leader challenge, but its on discord
Tell me you youre interested and ill throw the link, its all for fun there

quick bump

>>59486066
>>59487341
Ok I’m ready to join the next one, also thinking about starting a no rng draft table but idk how do do it, is there a draft tool you use?

>>59488410
We started this draft at the start of regulation B so I used the usage statistics of regulation A to make the draft table and justed guessed at where the new mons would lie strength wise since I had nothing else to go on. You can see the draft board here >>59460242

>>59489088
bump also might as well continue the discussion.
nta but, well we are in a bit of a pickle now. Right now we basically froze the meta for the next few weeks or so until reg-B ends.
If we wanna follow the template right now, we might wait for the newest 'thing' to drop (Z megas, etc) and give it a regulation before continuing a new draft, optimally.
As shown here >>59483012 reg B ends on early September, so that leaves a new draft (if there is interest in it) plans like so
>almost immediately as this one ends
>which is in a week+
I think this is not that good idea since that is just the same draft, but repeated. also with the length that is planned with a battle a week, it overlaps with the start of the new regulation
>at the start of the new reg
>which is september 9th
this one is risky since we dont know what sort of bombs they might drop and we have zero chance to prep. lucario-Z (assuming it comes out) could either flop spectacularly or be ban worthy, hence its near impossible to plan a draft for that.
>following this draft, which is new season + 1 month to give people prep-time
this means the newest draft would be early october, should it come to that, and there is interest in it. it gives the meta time to settle while allowing people to figure out directions as well as the weightage for the draft board points

>>59489974
Drafts are a per regulation thing yeah. We started this draft pretty much as soon as reg B hit and with a shorter season (6 players instead of 8 so 2 less rounds) we are on track to finish very close to the end of reg B. Waiting for the meta to settle runs the risk of them changing the rules mid draft league or potentially removing things from the game. I'm not sure how that would work.
