"Important RBY Differences" article nitpicks

[rbyis4ever]

Due to this, there is always an extra 1/256 chance that any "100% accuracy" attack will miss, and that any high CH rate attack will miss (+~0.4%). The only exception is Swift, which does not perform this check, and thus cannot possibly miss.

Swift is not exempt from the 1/256 uncertainty. This was well documented several times over at azure.

Hi Jump Kick and Jump Kick
If it misses, rather than having a recoil damage of 1/8 of what it would have dealt, it only makes you lose 1 HP.

Jump kick will cause 1/8th recoil on a miss. Only Hi Jump Kick does 1 HP recoil on a miss.

Focus Energy
Not only will it not make your Critical Hit Ratio higher it will quarter it instead. Do not use under any circumstance.

Just a slight nitpick on semantics... since the attack works on Stadium, it isn't fair to say you shouldn't use it "under any circumstance".

Excellent. I don't play RBY but I appreciate someone who has an eye for these things like you do. Good job.

Both of these are incorrect statements found at AH. We had a thread about these, and I know from trying them.

So I guess Mr. K was huffing from his Koffing bong then :P

Then I read Nautilators research in 2004, confirming that it was a 100% move.

Does that thread you mentioned still exist somewhere?
