    Revisiting ADV UU

    Crap, you’re really gonna change things so I can’t just show up and randomly play in Adv UU tours once or twice a year without paying attention to the overall meta, aren’t you? So like, the problem with doing any tiering at all in Adv UU is that its original tiering process was so outdated and...

    Finals Smogon Premier League XIII - Finals [Won by Team Raiders]

    I find it hard to even imagine what an SPL without reyscarface would look like. Thirteen years of SPL including what despite the lack of a trophy is arguably the strongest streak in all of SPL history is nothing to sneeze at. Sad that you couldn't claim the red for your final season but there's...

    Tournament NU Team Tournament II Format Discussion [ DONE ]

    Following up on this, a couple of questions have been asked multiple times, so I think it makes sense to answer them here for everyone. Also tagging in power, who worked with me in figuring these rules out and writing them up. Why does the winner pay the second-highest bid amount, rather than...

    Tournament NU Team Tournament II Format Discussion [ DONE ]

    Probably not going to play so no real input on what y'all choose but just posting to say that if anyone has any questions about the particulars of the blind auction format I wrote up, please feel free to ask! I think it's a pretty cool option that I'd love to see in practice. C/Ping the full...

    Smogon Champions League I - Week 5

    Are you sure it was a TD decision and not a host decision? I know there's some overlap but it might not be fair to blame the whole TD team for the incorrect initial decision + failed implementation of the (incorrect) recreate. Not sure how the current team handles things, but at least previously...

     np: SS UU Stage 10 - Airplanes (Latias Retest)

    I figured Latias was due a chance back in UU given that we got Slowking back (basically the most consistent Lati pivot when it was here previously), plus added on the new arrival of Mandibuzz and the existence of Aegislash, who wasn’t around previously. I also thought that there was a chance...

    Tournament UU World Cup II - Finals [Won by Europe]

    Good luck to all. My East Coast upbringing demands I root for East, but I think Europe has been amazing and in any other circumstance I'd be cheering them on. Should be a fun series either way.

    Metagame SCL I UU Predicts (won by pif!)

    Oh lord I went like 0-5 last week, I am bad, but let’s try this again: umbry vs Accel - I keep finding reasons to bold against Accel and he keeps finding reasons to make me regret that choice, but I’m not quite ready to hop off the umbry hype train just yet. Adaam vs Bushtush - Bolding Dadaam...
