uu > ss2 > dpp > sv4
1v1 gets more fun when you introduce more metas so i put uu first, and sv needs a lot more work than just archaludon. the ss2 player pool is probably better than the dpp one due to more people combing their teams meaning they are on average bringing not bad stuff to battle...

ggs frosmoths
super tough to lose this way - on a sunnier day jacob hits his blast burn and i dont get ~10% haxed twice in a row lol. i guess i coulda minimized my odds by winning g1 but it does suck to be on a hot streak and it fizzles out just like that, happens. otherwise wp to the frosmoths...
