Agreed that the momentum shift was really unexpected, looked like you were winning to me
GGs, unfortunate how quickly he turned it around, but that's the power of Palafin. I think in retrospect, your play was to terastalize Sinistcha on the Palafin. Weavile, if he did the calcs, would know that Wave Crash isn't guaranteed to kill, which forces him into clicking Ice Punch. You can then either Matcha Gotcha for the kill, or Strength Sap to heal back to full.
100% correct, I had no reason not to tera. In mocks Ice Punch wasnt really coming so I expected Wave Crash there but I should've known he didnt have it since he didnt click it before ever.
The breakdown was super good. I just started watching draft league videos and i really like this game
The music you chose is so fire!
AH I love this comment! Audio design is my like favourite thing to do so im glad you appreciate the music choice
7:32 I think going Keldeo on this turn might've been good to basically force a K.O, I feel like staying in with Uxie just to get 1 T-bolt off just doesn't give you as much.
That being said, I definitely don't think you played this game poorly by any means. Still plenty of time to bounce back! 😊
After watching the game back and a few days passing, I think I misplayed the game in more then 1 occasion really
You played a great match JRicky!! Good luck in next week's battle!!
Palafin just doing Palafin things I think you played the game well, gg
Oh noo! You got this @jricky!!! Just thrown off by that dark horse or dark wolf in this case 🐺!
Iron moth chipping sinistcha was where I felt things got away from you
Yeah i should've calm minded in front of the Florges. At +4 I can ohko Iron Moth and avoid taking 2 Fiery Dance
18:26, I think I go Meowscarada and click triple axel instead of rotom but I don’t know the calcs (not back seating, you asked 😂) GG, still more than enough time to make playoffs!
Still time to make playoffs for sure, just cant afford many more losses tbh
Great game JRicky! I didn’t expect my Ena to come because it seems like such a bad pic into a team with Haryiama and Keldeo
That was a good game, only thing I would say is once palafin was in on sinistcha (of course you dont wanna switch when you have so many boosts) i would’ve saved sinistcha especially bc if palafin ever came back and locks into jet punch, it was a free strength sap back to full.
I probably should've just tera'd in front of it and gotten all my HP back with strength sap or matcha gotcha
Close game! I think the only thing I spotted was you should’ve brought in Keldeo to Surf after Palafin picked off Sinistcha with Ice Punch. That positioning wouldnt have given him free rocks, and likely gave you a free kill on Palossand/Corv
After watching back the game and thinking about it, there were many plays I did wrong. I think I had that game wrapped up in various different situations but misplayed. To be honest, once Uxie and Sinistcha went down, I felt very lost and couldnt see my winning the game so I grossly misplayed those later turns as well
GGz. great match. Personally I think not having a real plan for Iron Treads was your biggest mistake. Even in the you said "Im not expecting much from it this week" and my 1st thought was "Then why bring it?".
It was sort of the 6th mon. Nothing looked particularly great in this match up but Treads could set up rocks if needed
When you calced that only Ice Punch or Wave Crash could have killed the Sinistcha, I think you should have tera'd and strength sapped- either way, if he clicked the right button or got the right role on crash you were dead, but at least that would have resulted in you winning the game from that point on.
Only you could lose the game from such a good position smh
Imo the mistake was not clicking tera on palafin/ maybe getting sinvhesta too low vs moth?
I should've Calm Minded more the Florges since there was absolutely nothing it could to do me. At +4 I OHKO the Moth and then Palafin cant kill me. I should've also tera'd in front of Palafin. I misplayed this game in more then 1 way
@jricky8 in hindsight it is a big 50/50 on the tera on palafin and its hard to cm against the moth, florg fs coulda Been used as set up fodder tho I feel so it's good that u identified that
