Frickin Crits!: The Warstory

I was playing on Shoddy today with my new team and new account, surreptitiously named darthmeanie, and found a team, while imperfect, that I liked. This was my second match with Benefit; the first one I won.


Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause

MY TEAM:


BENEFIT'S TEAM:


Benefit sent out Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
darthmeanie sent out Weavile (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Weavile is exerting its pressure!

Heatran won't like Brick Break I think to myself. Its banded, but I think I have a shot at outspeeding him.

Heatran used Overheat.
It's super effective!
Weavile lost 100% of its health.
darthmeanie's Weavile fainted.
Heatran's special attack was harshly lowered.
---

... or not. Well I'm actually in a good position now though. I know he's scarfed, which lets me switch in my tentracruel and get free toxic spikes on the obvious switch.


darthmeanie switched in Tentacruel (lvl 100 Tentacruel ?).
Benefit: Do you think the Togekiss/Jirachi wall Combo is cheap ?
darthmeanie: wait, did i just fight you?
Benefit switched in Deoxys-e (lvl 100 Deoxys-e).
Deoxys-e is exerting its pressure!
Tentacruel used Toxic Spikes.
Spikes were scattered everywhere!
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
---

I was pretty sure his Deoxys carried psychic, and since tentacruel could keep some of his pokes at bay...

Benefit: Yes
darthmeanie: i dont consider much to be "cheap"
darthmeanie switched in Wobbuffet (lvl 100 Wobbuffet ?).
Deoxys-e used Psychic.
It's not very effective...
Wobbuffet lost 16% of its health.
Deoxys-e lost 10% of its health.
Wobbuffet's leftovers restored its health a little!

Benefit switched in Weavile (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Weavile is exerting its pressure!
Weavile was poisoned!
Weavile was poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!

Im worried here. If he Night Slashes, It should be a KO. If he pursuits, I kill him. I was thinking I was going to switch for another day and save my 50% or so for another kill when he says.

Benefit: Run like the bitch you are

Now I have been provoked, and he's probably going to get me to switch so he can pursuit. Or maybe thats what he wants me to think. If I switch, I live or die, if I counter, I live or die. To hell with it.

Weavile used Pursuit.
It's super effective!

Blastoise was poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!
Tentacruel used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Blastoise is hurt by poison!
Blastoise lost 12% of its health.
---

I'm pretty sure Tentacruel can take him with a few surfs, but I decide to be cautious. I switch to my lightning fast wall and total hellmaker...

darthmeanie switched in Deoxys-e (lvl 100 Deoxys-e).
Deoxys-e is exerting its pressure!
Blastoise used Mirror Coat.
But it failed!
Blastoise's leftovers restored its health a little!

Blastoise can't use Toxic after the taunt!
Blastoise's leftovers restored its health a little!

Taunt: the penultimate attack for the fastest pokemon in the game. With my 252 HP set, I can freely throw off Cosmic Powers and Recovers until I am nigh indestructible.

Benefit: Ouch
darthmeanie: wobby and wall deoxys-e create a near unstoppable wall
Benefit switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Deoxys-e used Seismic Toss.
Jirachi lost 25% of its health.
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
---

Jirachi, taunt should deal with him. Oh, and the above is true. Besides the occasional ghost, dark, and bug attacks, Deoxys can taunt whatever would taunt Wobbuffet, and wobbuffet makes great set up chances for Deoxys and Tentacruel.

Benefit: When i bord i tend to make gay mistakes
Deoxys-e used Taunt.
Jirachi fell for the taunt!
Jirachi used Body Slam.

Deoxys-e restored 6% of its health.
---

That Hurt. Deoxys is practically useless at this point, since his speed let me fight without really worrying about predicts or taunters. I'm just glad he doesn't pack a Gyarados, he's my best way to stop those things.

darthmeanie: graghh!
darthmeanie switched in Moltres (lvl 100 Moltres).
Moltres is exerting its pressure!
Jirachi used Zen Headbutt.

Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!

---

I tell you, my Deoxys has never been killed by an attack that wasn't a critical hit. Every single match, a crit takes him out. I've been critted by Gastrodons, Lucarios, you name it, it finished me when it shouldn't have. And that crit cost me the game.

darthmeanie: good game
Benefit: yeah gg
Benefit: peace !!!!!!

Okay Final Round!
Props:
===
Wobbuffet for taking out two full health opponents singlehandedly
Tentacruel for being made of awesome
Moltres for doing something with his life despite crits and flinches
My opponent's Heatran for revenge killing the hell out of me

Slops:
===
Weavile for being useful only in setting up toxic spikes
Me for making some stupid mistakes
Deoxys getting paralyzed
That last crit
Steelix for being useless
The fair amount of hax in this game

Im probably going to make a RMT following this as well.

The commentary that was here was well worded, though would have been nice to see some more.

All I can say is that when you run Recover/Cosmic Power/Taunt/S-Toss Deoxys (or any other defensive poke for that matter), expect to be critted eventually. You can't "time" it right forever.
 
That sucks for deoxys, although how did Surf OHKO steelix? With proper special defense and HP EVs a Blastoise Surf should never come close to OHKOing.

The story wasn't bad in itself. However, you're opponent was a bit of a dick and annoying as fuck, which detracted from my enjoyment. Not much you can do about that. Also, predictions weren't awful although could have been better from both players.
 
darthmeanie: in soviet russia hax has YOU

This comment was EPIC! xD.

Great warstory IMO, no matter what other people think. In my head, I could just see you clicking and typing xD. Good going, keep 'em coming.
