Congrats on the great run! On to the sub 2:30 in Faster Quest or the real game runs!

HELL YEAH GLAD YOU COULD BE THERE TO SEE IT LIVE. Sub 2:30 feels doable! I don’t think I need to grind too much on this version anymore before doing runs on vanilla, but we’ll see!

Always love watching your videos and hearing your commentary! Despite how the season looked on paper, there were a ton of close games that could have gone your way. You kept a great attitude throughout and had a cool team with fun comps, so it was a pleasure to watch from this side of the screen! ❤️

This was a victory despite the raw result if I ever saw one. Your build gave you lots of options, you had good awareness throughout the match, and brought each game within rng. I was not able to kill the dang Rhyperior, you did with a frickin Hypno. To more heat in the final week!

It's hard not to feel like I got robbed but that's just how it goes sometimes. Letting my season go down to RNG was never going to be a consistent way to win games. Definitely not going to be buying any lottery tickets anytime soon though....

Also, my thoughts on turn 5 game three: I wanted to make sure I got the special attack boost the turn honchkrow went down, so I needed to gunk shot it first then helping hand it!
@sorax6423
@sorax6423 2 ай бұрын
Yeah I think by then I was too deep into the Sucker Punch mind games because of the speed tiers. I guessed wrong twice in a row when I think the correct play was to protect Honchkrow and setup Trick Room. I think I’d still lose to Clodsire though because Honchkrow was probably not one shotting Lapras anyway, but it would have been much closer that way.

Yeah we saw that Duosion didn't have protect, so doubling it basically always locked g3. ID with Torterra on protect might have as well. Very close games.

SPOILERS ----------------------- For some reason the text didn't render in the video, but Play Rough had an 18% chance to kill Gliscor from from 44% in game 2, so I wouldn't have necessarily won the game if I didn't miss (though when I did finally hit, I hit the roll, and it was 2x as likely for me to hit the range than it was for me to miss once) In game 3, Headlong Rush needed to do 3% more to Probopass so that it would have died to Sucker. 60% was a min roll: 0 Atk Torterra Headlong Rush vs. +2 252 HP / 172 Def Probopass: 100-120 (59.8 - 71.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery It was a 70% chance that it would bring it down to the range I needed, and then Sucker Punch was a max roll (so I used my luck in the wrong place) All that being said, I still could have won G3 if I wasn't dumb and double targeted Duosion on turn 7 to prevent TR since Headlong + Tbolt always killed it and Probopass couldn't really do anything in that position anyway so the Protect should have been obvious. It was a great play from Cannor!

Couple of notes that I forgot to edit in: - I missed that Kilowattrel was Cloak game 1 so I mentioned a couple of other times throughout the set that I wasn't sure where the cloak was (oops) - I did not realize Haxorus was Choice Scarf until the end of the last game - The Samurott Aqua Cutter roll into Kilowattrel game 1 was a 56% chance to kill from that range, so it was a 50/50 slightly in my favor

SORA AND GOOSE! i believe in illumise my tragedy with boulder is that the 120 atk mighty cleave 95 BP is mildly weaker than the Lycanroc Dusk 117 atk stone edge 100 BP, more accurate is good and avoiding protect is amazing... but it's not like I was using Lycanroc Dusk before that. And Accelerock is also REALLY nice, and I STILL wasn't using Duskroc before it. Boulder is a nice marginal improvement on a Pokemon we weren't using anyway.

@sorax6423 8 ай бұрын
Yeah going through Protect is nice and all, but the damage feels underwhelming compared to how hard so many other Pokemon hit right now. I’ve thought about playing around with a Swords Dance set to boost the damage, but at this point I think I’d rather just use a different Pokemon lmao

That's a solid run. GG for the resort demo dash. I am curious to know how often you get that demo on first try? I didn't expect to see a temple B side, but it was a really good one. You went for every single shortcut, which is pretty impressive. While you do suffer from some heavy deaths on large rooms, which adds time to the overall time, you still manage to get a 49 which is very clean imo. I am sure that if you stick to the same routing but improve on execution, you will be able to gain significantly more time. Watching your run makes it feel like sub 45 is actually really close. Actually, even the 40 mins mark is not so much of a stretch. And since you have already implemented temple B side, I have no doubt you will get there in no time. That was a nice run to watch and learn from, thank you :)
@sorax6423
@sorax6423 Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I can usually get the resort demo in 1-3 tries, though this was only the 2nd run where I actually attempted it. This was also only my 2nd run doing the Temple B-Side, I honestly wasn't sure if I should start doing it in runs quite yet since I've still been practicing it, but decided to start trying to go for it now to build the habit. I need to get some more strats for Reflection and Summit since I'm still kind of doing those 2 based on feel/instinct rather than practiced tech. But I'll hopefully iron it out since I have more time now to focus on learning.
