VGC Arizona Championship: Xerograde vs Canas

[irishtrash15]

the 3 things all l33t teams have:

1: weather lead (groudon/kyogre etc.)

2. protect

3. weather lead

[TheKeenMind]

@irishtrash15 BULLSHIT. Where the hell does my Dual Screens Azelf fit into that? Psh, weather? Last time I checked, the only weather that poses a threat is in uber, and we all know that that's not real battling. Fun? Yes. Hard? No.

[jhon45664]

lo salvo una tormenta de arena !!

[SeriousGamer2009]

Haha, that last Fling by tyranitar was genius XD

[TheKeenMind]

@SeriousGamer2009 how the hell, I was under the impession fling was a useless move.

[qweboost23]

why do so many ppl have protect for their pokemon battle??

[jmacalangi]

@qweboost23 Look at how he won

[Basket360]

@qweboost23 it wins them fights, like you just saw. It also lets you use moves which hit all.

[Pkftmfw]

[EekWe]

Allowing legendary ruin everything..

[khalid7377]

@EekWe

Lol.Quiet noob , you don't understand.

[EekWe]

@khalid7377 You jelly? Legendary are overpowered, they ruin strategies and everything else...they are just pure brute force.. You're the one you don't understand..

[khalid7377]

@EekWe

Yeah sure I don't understand.Do you even play the game competitively ? Some legendaries are garbage.

Articuno and Entei for example are NU for a reason.Legendaries like Celebi,Shaymin,Jirachi,Heatran­,Azelf are completely fine and not overpowered and are therefore OU.

The fact that you said ' Legendaries shouldn't be allowed' shows that you don't know what you are talking about.

[EekWe]

@khalid7377 Taking out slaking and dragonite, the 15 pokemon with highest average base stats are legendery.. sure act like a nooby and call out the 2 'noob' legenderay pokemon of the slot...

[EekWe]

@khalid7377 Anywhay.. What I mean is that legendary pokemon are averagely better than others. Legendary are the ones that have the best stats out of 'almost' all other pokemon. The 'few' exeption that have (ex) high attack have trash speed or defence or junk abilities such as truant... All legedary pokemon are in top 50 -and there're close of 30 lol..

And the fact is that since 2 legendary are allowed everyone bring 2.. If there was 4 allowed, everyone would bring 4..

And you know it..

[khalid7377]

@EekWe

There are pokes called Uber and then there are pokes called Legendary. Ubers are really powerful pokemon.

That being said Ubers =//= Legendary. You really have no idea what you are talking about.I suggest you play the metagame and then form an opinion about 'Legendary' pokes

I don't deny Legendary pokemon have good stats (that's why they are legendary) but you are saying that they ruin everything because they are too powerful which they are not.The ones that ARE too powerful are banned.

[khalid7377]

@EekWe

Learn the difference between Uber and Legendary.Noobs use the word Legendary.

The 15 most used pokes in OU(where certain legendary pokes are allowed) are : Heatran , Scizor, Gyarados,Tyranitar,Rotom,Starm­ie,Gengar,Jirachi,Infernape,Me­tagross,Swampert,Dragonite,Bli­ssey, Machamp,Lucario and Flygon.

Out of 15 only 2 are Legendary.Please don't try to argue about something which you know nothing about.

[EekWe]

@khalid7377 And once again, I mean legendary, not uber... I don't care of 'uber' non lengendary.. most of them have 1 good stats and other are trash, which make the pokemon bad

But pretty much all legendary are averagely good.

Stop saying I don't know what I'm talking about, you're the one who don't understand what I'm saying..

Once again I mean legendary... not uber..

[EekWe]

@khalid7377 Sorry for the 3 messages at once due to the 500 characters limit..

Anywhay I don't know why I'm arguing with you on first place.. All I'm saying is that legendary shouldn't be allowed in competition.. That's all. Nothing to get mad at... As for other 'strong' non legendary, I couldn't careless.

So let's stop this useless debate

[TheKeenMind]

@EekWe trololololol. You're not serious. Firstly, "all legendary is averagely good."

1. Phione

2. Mesprit

3. Regigiags

4. Regice

5. Uxie

Win a fight with those sorry excuses for pokemon, and I'll consider tyour point.

[Onfire757]

YES!!!!! ANOTHER KYOGRE TOOLBAG TAKEN DOWN =D

[Setosama02]

@ThePocketManster Player who lost didn't make some really good move choices IMO... I remember thinking that when I saw this battle in ARizona... Taking out the Rayquaza when he did was a HUGE mistake which cost him the match.

[instanoodles3956]

why are people all so douchey.. using protect all the time?!

[MoexSho]

Oh hey! I know Canas. :D A bunch of my friends went to that tourney, Great match dudes!

[iZyphur]

WTF, Mewtwo,Palkia,Rayquaza ? lmao.

[pulvirizer]

[Labiec123w]

[gigastrike2]

Ok, that was kinda a pussy end. With just s tiny bit more HP, Palkia would have had that.

[ZenKen6]

@gigastrike2 play to win imo

[gigastrike2]

@ZenKen6 Eh, why not? It's a championship, after all.

[XxSolvexX]

WHat the fuck is this shit??? Who uses fucking legendaries in a battle??

Bunch of noobs

[xravenhaired]

@XxSolvexX Way to completely miss the point.

[NetGuardian]

Only pussies use Legendaries, real players use normal pokemon

[NetGuardian]

Only pussies use Legendaries, real players use normal pokemon

[adambettcher]

@cowb0ysfan9 not mlg but the world championships. pokemonvgc website for info on it. Its not associated with Major League Gaming but it is world wide so the winners of here go to nationals and the winners at nationals go to hawaii to play the top players around the world for the world finals

[cowb0ysfan9]

the views are over 9000!!!

[TheBlackrose64]

why does this have so many views and who are the players?

[Blakblastoise]

@TheBlackrose64 I don't really know the players, and it has lots of views because people want to see what kind of teams make it to the finals.

[Cubalisk]

wow... i thought pros dont use legendaries.

[EmuMan1490]

Is Toxicroak a common sight on VGC rain teams?

[symphonyx64]

Holy fuck.

9000 views in under 24 hours.

[Blakblastoise]

@symphonyx64 That's just how I roll. BlakBlastoise = The next Marriland. lulz

[Zanatrea]

Death by Sandstorm!

[chewymilkybar]

I have no idea what is going on here. I played pokemon yellow when it was new and beat the elite 4 and that was it. I DONT UNDERSTAND

[MoonWaterDrifter]

Yea his online name is Canas

[Borridd]

Pretty boring uber battle tbh..

[benjaminp4]

@Borridd You obviously don't know the VGC metagame.

[stud002]

epic battle! down to the wire at the very end!

[KazoWAR]

cool shit

[XSharinganTobiX]

Wow did they run like 252 hp? Those pokes are bulky as hell.

[GamerBlueX]

Yeah, Canas was amazing.

I can now say that I bought the 2nd place winner hot wings at Hooters, lol.

[Blakblastoise]

@GamerBlueX Is that his name? If it is, i'll put it in the title.

[lezli3]

sick battle

[nharp0386]

GG! This is clearly the direct video from the DS, rather than just someone videotaping the DS while it is playing back the video... did you mod your DS to get A/V out capabilities, or what?

[Blakblastoise]

@nharp0386 Check out my video tutorial on my channel. If you don't want to watch 9 minutes of video the key word is: Flashcart

[hizzlemafizzle]

GG no re

[lpvids]

What did you use to capture video?

[rocketzombieboy]

both of these guys really suck :/

[NinjaDog251]

@rocketzombieboy no, they don't

[crackthecorn]

nice i ran a mewtwo wit ice beam back in pokemon yellow days it was op

[ELMOisINNOCENT]

All these damn protect whores, I don't really like double battles

[XxToXiiKxToNiiKxX]

nice battle

[uniquestyl]

Epic sandstorm ending xD

[Casadorperfect]

That was freaking awesome !

The ending was just perfect !

Sandstorm can be dammed good sometimes and the rain didn't worked out for his opponent due Rayquaza's Ability ^_^

[ZidaneTribal93]

Epic music and epic ending.

[Smogonskarm]

Heh very nicely done xerograde. Very well timed Metagross explosion.

[DEZTRoya]

damn that was a Great game WOOOOO

[blooroo22]

holy crap haha

[OmegasMovie]

Mega Cool ending xD 5/5

[xerograde]

Thanks for posting this. It was a fun battle. :)

[TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Wow. Odd choices on both teams, but I guess it works out in the end. Ancient Power Kyogre, that's pro?...

[DontRunWithScizors]

@TheGuyWhoIsSitting AP is for Shedinja and Abomasnow, but HP Flying is even better hitting Shedinja\Abomasnow\Toxicroak\L­udicolo

[AAmazing0]

That was a very good battle! And it was a very tactical win as well which makes it better! Congrats for jimmy!

[TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

@AAmazing0 "Player defeated Jimmy" You're congratulating Jimmy for losing?

[AAmazing0]

@TheGuyWhoIsSitting Yeah, he did well!

[magikcardman]
