    The way you came back into the game despite the freeze on ferro was amazing

    • @___Robin___
      @___Robin___ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not really amazing it was his only play and a quite obvious play otherwise he would have straight lost. What else is he supposed to do go to zeraoro and dies instantly stay in with ferro and allows him to get +6, clefable can't touch dragonite, if you go weavile directly you risk being attacked or your opponent roosting therefore ice sharding not doing the job, landorus with toxic could have worked then saccing ferrothorn and getting some intimate and switches but then dnite could roost come back later in and dragapult could pressure more. If future sight + ice shard didn't kill he would have gone lando to toxic stall and sac members but why risk that when future sight and ice shard does the job. His opponent in game 1 and game 2 had a terrible matchup. Game 1 was virtually impossible to win and game 2 all he could have done more was put more pressure with his dragapult by using special attacks rather than u turning and getting lucky with melmetal on switchins cause lando ferro slowbro core was insanely hard for him to break. Overall he didn't make mistakes played it safe knowing he had the insane matchup and got the W I wouldn't call it amazing but he definately played his cards well. I do think it was a very satisfying play to watch, but it definately wasn't a come back when he pretty much was dominating all the time.

    One of the things that makes me want to watch you over other competitive poketubers is that you still explain it to us, even if it's not as thorough as your videos (which duh, I'm aware you don't have a script. Yet you still sound so natural talking about this).
    Also, if you would be a bit more dramatic with how you talk, you'd sound like a clever anime protagonist and I think that would be fun to watch
