I reuploaded because the original g80 vs. goof battle has some slurs in it that needed to be edited out. if you're fine with that and want to watch the original video, here it is: th-cam.com/video/xkUciMjZD4k/w-d-xo.html
@@Ravenstorm163 I have no real clue about Gen 8 Metas, but isn't there a point were people say "screw it, hazards aren't worth it"? And drop them along with boots?
@@nbr6116 People still run rocks because some mons just can't afford giving up their offensive pressure or lefties in returm for being immune to rocks. Such as Specs Dragapult
It still angers me to this day that stealth rocks isn’t “spikes that only hit flying types and levitate mons” instead of hitting everything to varying degrees.
@Pissed Off White Guy Honestly I'd be okay with Stealth Rocks hitting everything if it only did 12% to everything. I'm just glad that the new Defog and now Heavy Duty Boots are in the game, I hated spinning (and spinblocking) so much lmao
If they can nerf things such as Burn Damage, Terrain Effects and Sucker Punch, why couldnt they nerf the characteristics of Stealth Rocks, directly as opposed to indirectly by virtue of Defog and Boots.
Oh, I’m real. Real enough to defeat YOU! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I’ll give them heroics. I’ll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone’s ever seen! And when I’m old and I’ve had my fun, I’ll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. EVERYONE can be a super!
Hey BKC, just wanted to thank you for making this video. It inspired me to make a superman team with mixmence and Celebi and I've been having a lot of fun with it on ladder, looking forward to seeing how high I can get with it!
Your channel has helped me out so much as a player. Got into the top 20 in adv ou once watching your channel and having a smart friend to bounce ideas off of. Trying to get back up there now
Holy crap, NBS. Haven’t seen that overlay in a LOOOOOOONG time. Thanks for the nostalgia trip there, BKC! Great video, as always, very informative, and a cool look into how even old school strats can stay fresh over time.
Long time listener, first time caring to make a long comment on a BKC video. I was mainly a Gen 6, 7 and 8 player...basically mained in whatever tier Flygon ended up in (see profile pic). I had my fun in those gens and since gen 9's new dawn, have lost interest because my boy isn't in the games anymore. Naturally I've kinda stopped playing (mainly due to personal reasons), but Flygons departure didn't help retain my desire to keep playing. But this video OTOH, ngl, is resparking never-before- felt interest in old gens specifically where it all started with the OG sand dragon. Superman, as an archetype seems like a great place to start learning ADV OU in general since it sounds like it's good in the long run to enable growth for a new player like myself, for the reasons mentioned. Plus, I've always leaned toward building BO teams so this kinda aligns with that idea. I guess all this to say, thanks BKC for teaching this old dog, new tricks!
So, when you say Rest Talk was "good" before it was "nerfed", do you mean that sims used incorrect mechanics that were updated when new info was found in the official games, or just that it was _thought_ to be good before the finding (and people, idk didn't notice)? Anyway always glad to see more ADV breakdowns, keep em coming.
List of all daddy Kevin's podcast like videos th-cam.com/play/PLfzZRttG03XZn-tppj6_RwHVsBtMQ0HQX.html Do I just keep plugging the playlist every video or do I stop?
I wonder if you could use bulky wish Mence in the Blissey/Jirachi/Swampert slot to keep that recovery for your teammates like T-Tar but fit in a fifth spike immunity? I could see the issues of not having a dedicated special wall unless you made Zapdos Sp Def to compensate? This calls for some experimenting
Still trying to figure this meta out. It's very hard and sometimes it makes me real mad, but I do want to figure it out. Making a good superman team is on my bucket list
Forgive me if this is a dumb question: instead of crafting an entire team around ignoring spikes, why not just slap on magnezone and deal with having only 1 layer all game.
Basically, Magneton doesn’t fit on just any team, it is only on specific team structures. Also, even if you have magneton, if your opponent plays carefully with his skarm, you’re not guaranteed to limit hazards to only 1 spike. Also 1 spike can be more important than it seems
@@matuga1006 does Magneton fit on any team that is walled by skarmory? And I don’t play ADV, but unless you double with skarmory to scout in the beginning, won’t you get trapped? And I guess same with rapid spin blockers and pursuit mons
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 Skarm can whirlwind if they expect an unrevealed mag switch, and doubling mag in isn't always doable. As for where Magneton fits, physical offense (by far the worst archetype against skarm) basically always has Mag since their only other option is exploding with CB Metagross, which needs perfect timing, can be scouted, and means you don't have a Metagross. As for other team styles that want Skarm gone (such as TSS), it's not that Magneton can't fit in the last slot, more so that Mag doesn't do much outside of trapping (some) steels and maybe t waving something.

Just watched the video, and yikey zikey have times changed
We've come a long way in the past 10 years
Thank you, nothing ruins my day faster than seeing slurs when I'm trying to relax online
Good times
Meanwhile, in SS OU, every team is a superman team
#heavydutyboots
True heavy duty boots spam is broken and I have to play against but love using it
@@Ravenstorm163 I have no real clue about Gen 8 Metas, but isn't there a point were people say "screw it, hazards aren't worth it"? And drop them along with boots?
@@nbr6116 yeah hazards are less prevalent due to boots I think

yeah it wouldve been best if it hit neutral to grounded and 25% to airborne pokemon since there can only be 1 layer

@@butteredsalmonella cause rocks are irrelevant in VGC and thats what GF cares about
@@haruharudude I think they care at least a tiny bit cause of boots
Gen 8 heavy dooty boots: and when everyone is super! No one will be 😠
I mean once stealth rocks were introduced for a while no one was super
Oh, I’m real. Real enough to defeat YOU! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I’ll give them heroics. I’ll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone’s ever seen!

Finally, I’ve always wanted to know what this is after hearing the legends of this term.
Another cool video where it’s talked about for a bit is False swipe gaming’s video on the competitive history of flygon, BKC also writes for him!
Every time one of your videos pops back up on my recommended I feel a tinge of melancholy during this brief hiatus.
Hope you're doing well man.
Gen 8 Superman is Heavy Duty Boots Blissey 🥴🥴
Imagine Blissey flying around, going so fast that it's just a pink blur😳😳
I can hear it now "it's a bird, no it's a plane. No it's...." *Annoying Blissey cry*

not yet, I will

I played ADV some years ago, thelinearcurve and Smurfer were my main nightmare.. Greetings if they are watching this video
*a video that includes Pokemon Netbattle*
Holy. Shit. Talk about a nostalgia trip.
the netbattle layout gives me so much nostalgia
Now with 100% more editing
So, when you say Rest Talk was "good" before it was "nerfed", do you mean that sims used incorrect mechanics that were updated when new info was found in the official games, or just that it was _thought_ to be good before the finding (and people, idk didn't notice)?

the former, yeah
Gen III was when hazards really started to kick off.
the knowledge imbued into me by BKC makes me feel like superman.
I've wanted this for so long.

up to you my man

But on the other hand if I keep commenting I can help you become the youtube superstar you deserve to be.

Will you ever touch upon gen 3 ubers? Gen 2 ubers is barely a thing and you did a great video in gen 4 ubers. Would be cool to see the trio completed
still waiting for that and the smogon analyses are making progress right now!
I love it when you talk about ADV for an hout keep it up
I think this team is the reason stealth rocks exist
excellent video!
Spikes weak, Sand affected Pokemon. You better have instant recovery. There you go, I gave it away.
Ha… Celebi
Blissey…
superman gaming (mantine)
hi kuma:)
Superman has the same vibe as BW DragMag: a team style made by a 5-year-old that should be garbage but somehow works
I wonder if you could use bulky wish Mence in the Blissey/Jirachi/Swampert slot to keep that recovery for your teammates like T-Tar but fit in a fifth spike immunity? I could see the issues of not having a dedicated special wall unless you made Zapdos Sp Def to compensate? This calls for some experimenting
Evwn though this man talks about this team as an Adv ou style im trying it and possibly failing it in SS Ou.
Without boots
woah this pokemon guy I like to listen to likes one of my favorite bands as well :) :)
I played casual Advanced lol, sadly didn't care about competitive at the time. This is all news to me, good news that is
Still trying to figure this meta out. It's very hard and sometimes it makes me real mad, but I do want to figure it out. Making a good superman team is on my bucket list
Lets goo back up again
Bro is that pokemon online I haven't thought about it for some time
netbattle
Never clicked faster in my life
I saw the notification, and thought I'll watch it in a while, and then it was gone. Time to chill for the next hour now...
why did the screen go black? did the gamers do something bad?
You have good taste in music, mvb is great
FYI I’m getting a 404 when I click your Patreon link. Not sure if it’s just me!

because sometimes you cant lol
