Shooting myself in the foot by saying this, but why exactly is Kyurem banned?

Because I want it, and Elsie is strongly against letting me have things I want.

You still hold that title. Last November's tournament was a themed one. So is this. I don't think anyone really places all that much value on 1st or last place in such tournaments where people are on uneven footing right from the get-go. (See: Lance vs. Koga, Green vs. Will, etc.) Though I must say, there have been some surprising matches so far. Bug Fire ... Bug Steel ... Grass Fire ... I've been quite surprised. Not sure how much of that is to blame on P-O's fickle hax ^^; and how much not, but whatever.

I seem to remember getting down to Kuno's final Dragonite thanks to Skuntank.
In relation to this tourny (videos to come later), I had a clear loss to Dave (Ice vs Poison) and the narrowest of victories over Daisy (Ice vs Bug).

Didn't stop Smogon from making it OU. Actually, I remember people talking about dropping it to UU. Something about a really inopportune speed and poor offensive synergy. I have to say from experience, though, they kick ass on hail teams. And, imop, Ice kinda needs that little extra boost. :/

Confirming win over Concept in a good battle that had me thinking a lot.
Not that that's hard since I suck. |

I MISSED IT!
Also, quinto not leading with T-tar is making me sadface. Why in hell was Deoxys-D and Speed forme banned? They are UU and OU man.

Have to agree with you about Defense Forme, though. |

Lost 0-2 to Yuki in a good battle. My overall squad is pants vs Electric which necessitated using a team that I wouldn't usually run. That said I don't think I did too badly aside from missing that sodding baloon at the start.
GG Yuki. 2-1 now. |

What you guys have to get through your head when you keep bringing up Smogon is, Smogon tiers work when you're playing traditionally. That means ...
But in this tourney, where people don't enjoy all of the freedoms listed above -- where, in effect, you are playing an entirely different metagame -- Smogon rules don't always apply. For instance, because we're type-limited, there's already a huge imbalance between certain ones of the elements. Why?
In hindsight, it probably would have been smart to grant Ice that exception and let it have Kyurem. (Similarly, I don't think that Ghost would have complained about having been allowed Giratina.) But what's done is done and so we'll just have to roll with it. (If you'd like to read more, expand. If not, you're done.) Spoiler: show

@Talon: Fair point.
But I'm still a little confused as to why Defense Forme Deoxys is banned. [/Pointless continuation] EDIT: OH GOD THE CHOICES. Y U SO HARD?!

Honest answer to why defence form Deoxys is banned: I read Smogon's ban list, saw A & S were banned and just figured it was to and whacked it on my list.
Either way, we've started the tournament now so another three pages of moaning about why x/y is/isn't banned is about as useful a syphilis and half as fun. |

Oh lord. I don't know to be honest, seems potentially nasty but not reliable enough to flat out ban...
