MY OPPONENT'S TEAM

​

 

[Skip Shot]

I'm no expert on logs, but I can give you some helpful advice.

I would recommend splitting each turn into its own little section to keep things from being jumbled up. I would also post a score after a pokemon is KO'ed (i.e. if ur opponent loses their poke first, score should be 6-5 you).

Otherwise... you have a very strange team going on there. Your opponent seemd sort of... noobish. Srsly, who puts Air Slash on a Skarmory? And on Zam vs. Gardy, Shadow Ball would've OHKO;ed Gardy if you had used it.

Otherwise... good showing!

 

[BeachBoy]

Well, I let this go through because you can use the help and suggestions for next time. Obviously your opponent wasn't the best of sorts and many times looked like a deer in the headlights, but regardless, at least you enjoyed the match.

First things first, Times New Roman on everything isn't fun, at least in my eyes. Use the space bar, it's there for a reason! [ READ THIS ] There are also plenty of opportunities to cut down the major size of turns.

Also, you can always give a score bigger than the average text.

---

On more competitive terms, you're setting yourself up for failure trying to achieve a Gyarados sweep turn one, the opponent has 6 Pocket Monsters at that point, plenty of time to shut you down. Mixing Pocket Monsters to rid Gyarados' counters allow him to sweep later will be more effective. :D

I'd go on about more, but I'm sure the gang can push you in the right direction after me~ (I'm tired anyway, so hah ;_;) I think you did an okay job for your first log though, hope you can bring out the real action next time.

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

Yes, I was low on time so I didn't really have the time to make everything incredibly fancy.
Yeah, he did seem rather noobish. >.<
It wasn't Times New Roman; it was Book Antiqua. This is Times New Roman. And I did put spaces, didn't I? My space key is jammed, so that was most likely the reason, considering I have to dig my thumb into it to make spaces. X_X
Sorry about it being rather sloppy. =[
Once again, I was constricted for time.

 

[Lalapizzame]

Surely your opponent can do better next time, I predict. It was a decent battle, but I was dismayed when your opponent used Dream Eater. ?_? Mind you, I feel like nagging about the space bar so it does not really like one big blob of text. Although it's lovely that you enjoyed the battle. =D

(You also don't jam the words after the commas into them, etc example,example. Also used capitalization unlike D_A ololol. xp)

 

[Alex31]

Horrible layout, but not nagging.


Lol though, hopefully you get a better match next time, this one was kinda wtf.

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

I always like getting constructive criticism. =]
