I Use HYPER BEAM TORNADUS ($1600 Tournament) | Competitive Pokemon Showdown

Not returning the "hf" from your opponent hurts

[@guiaraujo3726]

though it was just me that got really annoyed waiting for him to sent back....

[@Blade.5786]

Some people are pretty serious, especially when there's KZbin or money involved. Others will notice the lack of gl before hf, and take it as an insult

[@grmancool]

@@Blade.5786 I've never seen people mad for a hf without gl. I think it's more likely that he simply didn't notice

[@Blade.5786]

@@grmancool I have seen it several times though, because I usually use hf before battles. In this case it's probably that they didn't notice. But sometimes people have weird reactions

[@Only_Nub]

Wait what does hf mean? In german it stands for "Halt die Fresse" wich is a rude way to say "shut up", so I am kinda confused.

Haven't watched the video yet but I just want so say that I really love that this thumbnail has no obnoxious arrow in it

Speaking of Hyper Beam, it isn't optimal at all, but I used to love using Hyper Beam, especially with Pixilate and those kind of abilities. Just a huge nuke and dip

[@sephikong8323]

Fun thing is, Hyper Beam was legit on Mega Gardevoir in 1v1 as a way to basically summon exodia and obliterate it

[@anujsingh333]

Any mass gaming community online will have its warts, in tandem with lots of great people as well - I personally haven't come across too many of the former and hope it'll diminish for you too!

[@poofyfox6751]

Likely due to getting introduced to pkm showdown by temp6t, maybe I'll give it a try after legends: arceus

[@AlexRiversMusic]

Most of the “toxics” on KZbin are staged for views, I play for hours every day and you only get like 1% chance a of toxic user

[@louc.6735]

My advice for stopping toxic players on showdown is to stop spectators. Your opponent being salty is one thing, but when they invite all their friends to come shit on you to try to tilt you, it's another. So select "do not allow spectators" and look for options that disallow private messaging or challenging. It's what I do when I'm testing the VGC ladder or doing randbats, and it's been overall fine. You get maybe one rager out of 10-20 games, and if they can't get their cronies to gang up on your or contact you after the battle, it's not a huge factor.
