I got washed as fuck today LOL oh my godddd this was the worst. i CANNOT play this meta without my queen BD slurpuff :pirate:

I could waste my time writing a large essay about how much I agree with you, but it would be pointless. So instead, I am going to directly attack the ones in charge of this apocalypse in order to make a point, as I am done being nice. I will say it without beating around the bush, the RU council is simply incompetent and I am more convinced than ever before.

Let me explain myself. The people currently on the RU council are in my opinion clueless, because the good majority of them don't even play the tier. How can you be expected to provide an educated opinion on the tier if you don't even play it? How do I know that? Well, just look at the council members and tell me which one of them played RU in SPL or in any tournament recently. Also, why do I only see the same exact council members talking? Where is the other 1/3? Are they okay or they on the verge of retirement? I would like to hear more opinions other than Feliburn's. This is the reason behind the lack of proactiveness on the tier. I remember at some point, my main tier BW, was more frequently tiered than SM RU and that says it all.
this is a joke post i promise LOL

Ok here it goes...

After two attempts, Sensei Axew finally manages to defeat his demon Expulso and move on through the Mountain for the first time, also defeating gate guardian Mavis in the process. However, Sensei only had one more loss before he would be sent back to the beginning, and was on very thin ice.

Sensei challenged the third gate guardian, banks, and while he started off holding his own, bank's Salazzle was able to easily sweep after Sensei's Vaporeon was weakened.

THEREFORE:

banks gave Sensei the boot, sending him tumbling down the Mountain that he'd only just started to climb earlier that day.

After falling almost a mile and getting knocked out, Sensei woke up to a familiar face...

"WELCOME BACK!" yelled Expulso...


EDIT: by the way to be more specific the boot smelled so bad that Sensei got knocked unconscious and fell

atomicllamas steps up to the plate to try and challenge RUgged mountain. As a former tier leader he thinks he has a good chance!

atomicllamas and Expulso had a nail biter match, involving Hurricane Whimsicott on a sun team, Body Press Steelix vs Chople DD Scrafty, and fish

...a LOT of fish

Expulso emerged victorious in the end, unfortunately...

...wait

...wait wait...

using G&W's frame 3 Up B oos against atomicllamas's attempted climb up the dangerous RUgged Mountain, stopping him in his tracks like G&W does to normally safe on shield moves.

Banned deucer.
after a rough day of sleeping in really weird positions, getting hit in the head by an bunch of empty boxes, and taking challengers, the sky queen has finished her challenges for the day

brief rundown of how the games went for your amusement

umbra soul completely shittered me in like every way known to man and I think I she'd a few tears

SectoniaServant just barely lost after my lastpoke passi beat down his banded bewear after taking 97% from a close combat

diogo got bruised around a little by my scrafty and eventually forfeitted saying he'd be back to beat me later

datsplashtho also got mauled by scrafty so that's cool

at some pt early during the day I also got my ass handed to me by GW, prompting me to make a secondary version of my snorlax team but with scrafty that ended up going 3-1 for the day
