>>16973659If you want to say their 6v6 rules are casual, then you need to say that anything that isn't doubles is casual, despite that being what a majority of players actually play.
Furthermore, your claim of their base being casual because they actually ban shit differently than a nonexistent banlist doesn't make them casuals either.
What would make them casuals would be if 6v6 was a supported format, then refused to play VGC at all.
This is why I made the EDH comparison. The judges are NOT casuals despite having their own different format, because they still have skills in regards to official formats and may in fact participate in them.
>>16973685>Mach punch/Drain punchAnyone who would drain punch is outsped by scarf smeargle, while Mach punch users are predictable. If you're drawing the line of fire towards smeargle, you can toss a switch, have taken the heat off of your setup, and still gotten your free turn. Further, if your opponent is carrying an obvious smeargle counter in their team, you can opt not to run smeargle yourself.
>>16973690Because DARK VOID WAS BANNED. Of course it wouldn't be used in tournaments if it isn't legal in the first place. It's a move that even nintendo admits is too good for their meta.
>>16973709It's called 'you still wasted your turn stopping the smeargle, so now trick room is set up and you're going to fucking die, dipshit.
Doubles is a meta where a SINGLE TURN is all you need to change a game.
