Battle Tower 646 Streak Ends - 1 in 5851 chance

My streak was at 646 when I made a tiny, usually forgivable mistake, but the AI pounces on any opportunity to hax you into oblivion. For a detailed description of everything, read my Smogon post here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2493741&postcount=2138

F**k critical hits. I lost at 314 with my previous team due to 3 crits in a row, and now that happened again at 647 with my 'ultimate' team. This was definitely my last Battle Tower/Frontier run in D/P/Pt. Don't get me started on HG/SS... only if the Pokemon sets are different in that game...

Music used in this video - first song: Shadow Queen battle (final phase) from Paper Mario: TTYD. Second song: Elder Princess Shroob battle (final phase) from Mario & Luigi 2. Nice coincidence with the music...

Also, my videos are now recorded with an HD camera but I decided that a 2D game doesn't really need all that... my future videos may be uploaded in HD.

LOL i just get absol with superluck, scope lens,and night slash LOL Criticall everytime baby

[DrDimentio]

@shinypandahmuffin A 50% crit rate isn't enough, especially when there are defensive Pokemon that can survive a critical Night Slash...

[ChrisTheBest1992]

the AI always cheat...i wonder why the programmers gave fucktons of luck to the AI...

[DrDimentio]

@ChrisTheBest1992 I'm glad to see you take an interest in all my Battle Tower videos! The reason they did that is because artificial intelligence in a game of this kind can't hope to outsmart a human mind, so they rely on luck to offset our advantage. Still, the game developers are evil for causing so much frustration to gamers everywhere...

[ChrisTheBest1992]

@DrDimentio the main reason of my interest in your video is the way you show how much the AI cheat in the BT (and i though i was the only one,if my cartridge was broken,hacked,or whatever it had,etc.).if luck and intelligence "fight" each other,i think we all know who would win....

[DrDimentio]

@ChrisTheBest1992 Yeah, I was dedicated to proving how much the AI cheats with some extreme examples from my own experience.

lol love the college humor reference

[carllito12]

@DrDimentio I knew it. That game was awesome and this music definately works with this video. Good job.

[carllito12]

@DrDimentio Cool, i'll have to check those videos out too

[DrDimentio]

@carllito12 Thanks, and yeah I agree it's a very awesome game (the only flaw being its extreme easiness). Also, you'll find other Paper Mario music on various other videos of mine, as well as music from various other games.

[DrDimentio]

@carllito12 Yep, it is... from the Shadow Queen battle.
