VGC 2015 Road to Ranked #188 - Oh, Heat Wave

Were you live recording when you battled ogloza? It would be fun to see your thought processes during that battle

Published three minutes ago and I'm not even first

Wide guard protects from team damaging moves, if you didn't know this already just a tip to give

glad to see this daily again

Hi! I think I just battled you on bs. My ign is Meghan, and I had a Mega-Gardevior team with volc and lost 3-0. Thank you so much for the great battle! I now know what I need to work on for my team.

I love Pokemon.the godly players always get the Hax.

Nice to see you more active now aaron !

i really like that u never rage :D

Wow, it's sad that with our current meta-game, a team with Breloom is strange.

Good vid, btw what would've happened if you went for the flamethrower or why couldn't you go for it to take out the Heatran in game 2?

I must say that I always love your commentary. Even when battles are haxy.

Hax was too mighty - but sound quality is much better :)

HP ice landorus, tho

that first game was suuuch bull. Both games.

maybe the problem its, anywan knows the mark's team, so to every player its easy to make predictions, not like another teams you used like the hibiki's team, any player knows that team before you show us

Can anyone please add me on the 3DS? Comment Below your friend code, I need more friend safari types.

My friend Code : 1950 - 9616 - 5765

Call me whatever you want

It's pretty incredible to see you react so nonchalantly when you get haxed so badly... You clearly outplayed both players!

I have been playing the TCG for months now so I'm a bit rusty, but these videos man they help keeping up with the Meta.

I'm pretty sure stab earthquake on a shuca still does more than superpower to Heatran

Didn't his landi outspeed his thundurus in the first game, so wouln't that
mean he was scarfed?

+CybertronProductions how do you go from music 9 to music 18 so fast? :P

Hsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Leaf a like

I'm pretty sure No Guard only makes moves that are used by Machamp or against Machamp not miss, not its partner.

so hard to watch 30 minutes episodes drunk. totally worth it. thanks.

Its always a shame to see a player making the correct plays, yet RNG not in the player's favor

The "hssss" cancer has reached even cybertron's channel.

RNG... WTF?!!!

That's why i always run ancient power or hp ground on charizard y
and hp ice on landorus ;)

but in the turn before the last. where you superpowered the heatran instead of earthquaking. So there were no certain targets for eq so it wouldnt do less damage. and even if he had shuckle berry it would do earthquake from 4 times effective to 2 times effective same as superpower.
superpower has 120 base attack and eq only 100. but eq gets the stab boost so you end up beeing at 150.

so what i wanted to say. you lose nothing by clicking eq. if you klick superpower you have absolutely no.chance of ohko ( if it doesnt crit)
but from eq there is a chance.

Actually Lando-T could still miss with Rock Slide even if Machamp was the partner. No Guard is not applied to Machamp's partner, only to Machamp itself.

@cybertronproductions you should try to play more aggressively see how that works out for you. I feel like everyone knows you like to play it safe and they use it against you. Just try something new to keep your opponents off guard.

I feel with your knowledge and experience if you start to change your play style up you would be an even scarier and tougher opponent. I been watching your videos since the beginning. Just a thought as a fellow battler who respect you very much because we are both from the city.

if u skill swap prankster, will tr still go last?

any team in this season is "strong" so,anyone use the lando,thundu and the other legendary zoo

I'm always amazed at how well you predict your opponents. I used to play exclusive doubles and shifted to singles after PBR became obsolete, and now trying to prepare for the spooky cup I'm completely overwhelmed and keep getting outplayed because I just don't know what to expect.

Keep it up aaron please!!

tee hee omg snorlax is so op

woopahking's tram sucks, don't understand why are you using it, it's kind of a bye against kang smeargle / fire type pokemon like arcanine or entei

also woopahking stolen me the eighth place of seniors worlds top cut :( HE SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED NINE, I SHOULD HAVE ARRIVED EIGHTH

why didn't Aaron just use flamethrower or heat wave at the end?

//EDIT: Did not see that Lando was not carrying [protect] until after I wrote this.

I suppose you "slightly misplayed" and did not make the "safest play possible" in the end game of Game 2 (unless below reasoning is flawed, which is totally possible)

(while super insignificant like 99% of the time, I think)– Protecting with Landorus instead of Superpowering the turn you did seems like the correct play "always", in order to guarantee hitting Solarbeam twice (AKA guaranteeing "max damage", given the uncertainty of the opposing Heatran's build and whether or not it had shucaberry)

Since (I think) you had 4 turns of sun left, on the turn you Superpowered—instead:
Turn 1: [flamethrower] KO Conk. + [protect] Lando (-opposing heatwave#1 hits Char. only)
Turn 2: [Solarbeam#1] + [Superpower#1] (-opposing heatwave#2 hits both, burns Lando.)
Turn 3: [Solarbeam(protected)] + (-protect/burn kills lando.)
Turn 4: [Solarbeam#2] (since it looked like 1 more could have KO'd) (-Heatran would have needed 30% double protect to stall out sun)

>Results = 70% chance of winning (bc of double protect)

It looks like this decision making, delaying the burn on Lando until after 1-Solarbeam lands with 1-Superpower seems to be the "safest"—but I could definitely be mistaken and have missed something. Let me know!

Talk about a luck shutdown

Hm. Lots of people have perfect IV variations of Landarus. They all can't be so lucky 😅

I don't think that landorous was banded, he was always faster than his entire team.

This is actually a deja vu from a previous episode where the exact same thing happened.

can you put the team builder plss?!

Why no earthquake though?
