Analysis complete on the The Couch Hosted by Aaron @CybertronVGC Zheng. I hope y’all enjoyed it more than the countdown timer between rounds! Strange Worlds, but it feels an appropriate ending for the 2020-22 VGC season. Fun to finally work with Aaron & hate on Dynamax AV Gordon.

It’s sure been a while, but being Emergency Great Value Aaron Zheng on the VGC stream for the weekend was kinda fun. Wasn’t expecting to do this again, and the 2 days of notice I had was probably a little too obvious, but I think it coulda gone worse! Hope y’all enjoyed the show.

I may have gone like 50/50 on pronouncing Gholdengo correctly this weekend, but I did manage to never refer to Dondozo as Tatsugiri’s Gundam on stream, so I’m giving myself a B for following brand guidelines.

Recommend this. Was expecting a dumb troll reaction video, but Wolfe really flexes the game/community knowledge about what for my money is probably still the most interesting single tournament we've had in VGC. but also 0/10 didnt make use of what was surely amazing commentary

Sure seems to me like a lot of people instigating recent trouble in VGC were pretty obvious repeat offenders. Stop giving them the time of day if they aren't going to treat other people better, regardless of how they treat you, and stand up for the people around you.

Some of the hungrier VGC folk may have noticed this already, but we tried something new for the VGC preview of NAIC, since the Power Rankings thing was sorta not workin for VGC. Let me know what you think (Featuring @CybertronVGC @13Yoshi37 @TBFUnreality )!

Probably the most impressive single Worlds ever by Edu, going undefeated in this era and format with a team that has a lot of clever subtleties. Kinda bad luck for Kasty that the two Worlds he cut had undefeated champs to deal with!

Awesome event—tons of great games and a chaotic metagame despite the centralization on actual usage. That’s my last Reg E event casting, but I’ll be laddering using teams I would not bring to an event (GL to my opponents). Loved getting to do a show with this cast! #PlayPokemon

More productively: I think players who want an friendly, healthy tournament scene should think about who they associate with more carefully. It's not realistic to just hope all of the bad apples get banned or decide to become major Smash Bros community figures or whatever. (1/2)
