Thanks for the feedback. On the Weezing staying in, I think I was predicting a focus punch on the switch in. That turn 1 punch traumatized me so badly I made several suboptimal plays to make sure I didn't fall for it again
Playing around punch was sensible earlier on. In that spot where Slaking only had 1 turn left to live, he had no reason to Punch since Double Edge KO'd everything anyway
@@jimothycool was slak's hp such that it could survive another switch in after focus punching an incoming salamance? in that case the play makes a bit more sense.
23:30 This is hilarious. Jimothy goes on wondering which mon Horace will or should choose to sac, being sure that Weezing would not be an option. Weezing falls, sad music starts and Jimothy is in shock. Fantastic.
Horace Stapleton and his signature Horace Stapleton Weezing classic. Man just cannot be stopped under any circumstances how does he keep getting away with it
A tragedy. I think he's a pretty new player, so honestly super good showing VS one of the strongest players in the tourney. With a very creative team too.
Damn I feel for Horace on that last game. I'm sure all of us have been in a position where you threw away a game from a winnable position, only we didn't have a top player explaining to an audience exactly why we did so. Good showing on both players! As a Weezing fan I appreciate you Horace. o7
I think that the idea behind Blastoise might be that with Slaking, after you throw out your move, you give an opportunity to your opponent to set up, making Phazing more necessary. While you can relegate Phazing to just Skarmory, you put so much pressure on it; being a Physical Wall, your Spikes setter, AND your Phazer, which can lead to Skarmory just crumbling. Splitting up Phazing duties alleviates some pressure off of Skarm to make sure you can get your Spikes up. Speaking on the matter of Spikes, having the option to Roar and rack up Spikes chip is great for Slaking. Slaking sometimes has an issue where it deals like 90% to the things it wants to KO, and can sometimes fall just short of 2HKOing the chunkier Mons of the tier.
I love you But yeah, Stoise is also crucial vs RoarCune, since CM Bliss can't set up on it. Also it spins on motherf***ing ZAPDOS. And it isn't weak to bug, so it can shot an huge torrent pump vs heracross before dying... and the list goes on
This was an amazing set of battles. We all fumble sometimes but like you said he was playing against one of the best players on showdown. Great work to both players
Not to take away from the Gen 3 purity- but Torkoal and Pelliper should get their Drought and Drizzle abilities for a month or two as a check to see what would happen to the meta.
Iirc, they tried something similar before - Groudon and Kyogre in OU... Except theyre restricted to level 50. Turns out endless sun and rain are so powerful that they're still overpowered even with their stats nerfed into oblivion.
I'm zero familiar with pre gen 4 (actually more 5 than 4) metagames but thanks to your channel you're making me want to add gen 3 advanced to my list of OUs dwellings :) Oh and I love the PMD background track, it makes me be even more into the content 👀
The Salamance sac was so free like yeah it's a win con but the Flygon walls it and the only mon it kills is the Skarmory who is already dead essentially. The Houndoom was fine to keep but that Weezing is just a bastard and could've easily won just by walling every mon but Jirachi which Houndoom can handle
Wait a sec, I played against bluesenergy's team just yesterday (likely on an alt account). his team struggled hard against SpD invested roar zapdos and classic skarm (also with roar).

The weezing sack was a tragedy
The throw is a true agency moment
the sad music is timed perfectly for it too lmao
@@陳嘉宇-y4qagency's biggest chocke
He was probably expecting focus punch
@@gameandhike5844sacking salamence would still be better wouldn’t it? And why would he focus punch?
absolutely loving the heel turn between the calm and analytical commentary into
"WELL YOU DONT SACK WEEZING??!"
Weezing won

Wp overall though😊

@@Scepers it died to spikes at 17
@@zinnias114 as it switches in it takes 16%. i think it's ambiguous whether or not it lives another switch-in on 1% without an exact hp number.
Clutching defeat from the jaws of victory 😭
That first game from bluesenergy was a masterpiece

I lost it at “Horace its all going up in flames”
What weezing sack was a betrayal not seen before in a tournament
top 10 anime betrayals of all time
A commentator getting mad at a player during the game is one of the funniest things I've seen
"this might be the oldest smeargle... known."
Horace Stapleton and his signature Horace Stapleton Weezing classic. Man just cannot be stopped under any circumstances how does he keep getting away with it
The timing on the piano music at 23:43 with the Weezing tragedy is cinematic perfection
Tragically beautiful
Truly Kino
Love the calm narration throughout and then the shout at the weezing sack haha
That weezing KO at the end was painful to watch. Truly the greatest tragedy of our time.
The "You don't sack WEEZING!" yell was a jumpscare
No spoilers, but Horace just awakened at the end of game 2, loved to see it and I hope I can play him again some other time. Ggs!
Are a cheater
The way you shouted when Horace sacked the wheezing was the funniest shit ever
The way BlueEnergy outplayed Stapleton was incredible. He was four parallel realities ahead of them.
The legendary Pokémon Jimothy Cool used Revival Blessing on ADV!!
He didn't revive the tier
He kinda did lol
@@raagavanand9006 dunno i think the peak elo going higher than its ever been is a pretty good sign of a lot of new players
@@DkKobaADV
Nah. He wants to Revival Blessing the tier to try to combat Old Money.
So sad to see the Stapleton legacy end like this. Horace Stapleton III must be turning in his grave...
24:13 Wish Salamance would've been crazy there, ngl.
Lol I have never watched gen 3 in my life , I don’t know either of these players but horace has literally ruined my day there.
A tragedy.
I think he's a pretty new player, so honestly super good showing VS one of the strongest players in the tourney. With a very creative team too.
Oh come on, it wasn't so bad 😂
He's new, better misplay now than later. He's got a bright future ahead of him, smart player
Damn I feel for Horace on that last game. I'm sure all of us have been in a position where you threw away a game from a winnable position, only we didn't have a top player explaining to an audience exactly why we did so.
Good showing on both players! As a Weezing fan I appreciate you Horace. o7
12:20 That blastoise switch was 3000 iq.
blues energy is an absolute legend for using transform on smeargle.
Honestly iconic, you know.
Can’t tell if music was intentional but the change when weezing dies in game 2 is hysterical
That weezing sack was what one might call a "horus heracy"
really appreciating seeing a weezing played so well so I know how to play around it.
(also got a shiny ho-oh mid video which was cool)
Has clear dedication to weezung regice, has a weezing endgame, and throws it away. Damn.

Jimothy's dissapointment in horice's weezing sack looool
Weezing has always been my favorite mon. It finally had the chance to carry instead of just blowing up. My lonely heart.
That first game was the most expertly executed game I've ever seen. Perfection.
This was an amazing set of battles. We all fumble sometimes but like you said he was playing against one of the best players on showdown. Great work to both players
Transform Smeargle and Slaking
This is insane (real)
Game 1 was an incredible one from Blues. And Horace played g2 so well only to throw! What a tragedy
Not to take away from the Gen 3 purity- but Torkoal and Pelliper should get their Drought and Drizzle abilities for a month or two as a check to see what would happen to the meta.
Do you mean torkoal?
@@TH-cam_itself yeah

The throw 😢
I need, like, a million more of these videos.
I respect the Maplestory Temple of Time music.
I've also always been a fan of your The Neverhood Gholdengo
Love the coverage of your tournament so far :)
I just learned you see the speed markers for each mon with left overs 😮 somewhat very useful info to have
you can also know it with sand chip, although this was a rare sandless game
The sad music had the most perfect timing lmao

That Game 1 Smeargle was amazing. I was just hoping he would bring it back in to transform into Salamemce 😂
Watching this at double speed was nothing short of entertaining
The sad music after the Weezing sack loooool
Thank you Jimothy, very gaming
Yeah, Horace absolutely threw that game by letting Weezing die. Bummer, would have loved to see a game three
That Smeargle was kickin' ASS! 😅
"horace it's all going up in flames"
I have never heard Jimothy being so not cool, that must be why this is the Jimothy Gaming channel, fantastic.
The Salamance sac was so free like yeah it's a win con but the Flygon walls it and the only mon it kills is the Skarmory who is already dead essentially. The Houndoom was fine to keep but that Weezing is just a bastard and could've easily won just by walling every mon but Jirachi which Houndoom can handle
Horace Stapleton, an incredible Pokémon. The designs really peaked in gen 3 😔
Where can I watch these live
Slateport city slackers
Wait a sec, I played against bluesenergy's team just yesterday (likely on an alt account). his team struggled hard against SpD invested roar zapdos and classic skarm (also with roar).
Could Foresight rapid spin be good on blastoise?
The iconic Horace weezing regice duo.
o7 weezing
Stoise is such a cool innovation
The weezing sack :(
how was smeargle both burned and poisoned? is that a glitch?
BLASTOISE GAMING!!! He has mirror coat at least
Torrent Pert w/speed! I love it
Insane stuff
7:29 Uncalled-for slander! >:O Squirtle Squad 4 Lyfe
i had the same reaction on the weezing
What's the jirachi have?
Regice is good at luring metagross, swampert, and ttar, so the structure isn't super duper weird tbh
I'm loving these games!
The Weezing sac is one of the worst chess blunders of 2023 so far
Regice is immune to freeze like Komala is immune to sleep tbh
who is shodown gaming17? they have an elo of 1897. the next one is blues over 100 points lower.
It's currently a mystery! I think it could be Hclat.
I just noticed there is ANOTHER account there. @@jimothygaming
This is some wild gameplay.
THE WEEZING SAC!
Ffvi comes on and inspires me to like
Dude THIS GAMEPLAY

bro threw his best mon away. Oof
Rip weezing
