It should be taught to Flareon since we need Pidgeot to have a lot of HP.

 

[LordGouda]

How so? Are people subscribing?

Yep. There are people with the Subscriber Symbol. It's not as common, but it still means they could get in trouble with Nintendo. It's weird because being a subscriber means nothing:

Subscribers

Subscribers do not get to bypass the slow mode restrictions on chat. The reason for this is because unlike most Twitch streams the chat is an critical component of the content. I think it's best if everyone has the same capacity of input.

I've previously considered enabling sub-only mode for short moments to overcome difficult sections but I've cooled off on that idea and doubt I will consider it again.

Please don't subscribe with the expectation of special treatment.

Are you serious? We cant heal unless we die, which loses tons of our money. And we will die much faster if our top mons are recoiling themselves to death.

I was thinking too competitively

Everyone might as well listen to a superior version of the hideout theme.

Maybe it will overwrite dig.

TM 10 Get!

I don't even remember what that does!

Double-Edge. That thing would be deadly on Flareon with its massive attack stat.

 

[cHinzo]

No, if he learns a move then we will end up skipping over ember. Right now if he levels up he will get quick attack and then ember.

Or we'll get Ember instead of Tackle if we're really lucky.

You know what I think is even more amazing that there is an entire new internet/gaming sub culture born with its own language and meme's websites fanart etc etc etc.

IN 4 DAYS !!!

Truly insane truly an amazing time we live in right now.

 

[Anustart]

How would this get them in trouble with nintendo?

This is no different than a streamer taking advice on what to do next.

 

[The Technomancer]

OMFZ! How did they get out of the arrows maze?? I though that they will be stuck for an hour at least!

Nah you gotta keep in mind that the number of options at any section of the maze is severely limited. While its possible they could have been trapped in a loop for hours, I suspected they'd get through it relatively quickly because the possibility space is so much smaller.

 

[Rapstah]

Well look at what we have here: http://75.101.189.40/tpp.html

Found it posted on Reddit.

It shows who the spammers are.

:lol at "downbot" pressing down 105 times. That could just be a bot.

Cease and desist order from Nintendo/GameFreak confirmed.

Twitch would fight it. If they give in to that sort of thing their business is basically gone. I know LoL and other big games have agreements and everything else but the masses of smaller streams are a huge part of the site as well.

It would be the end of almost all popular speedrunning channels. Siglemic, Cosmo, Werster being the obvious casualties but probably hundreds more with Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon and Mario being the most popular titles to play. Twitch would have to step up and defend that.

Youtube has to be more pro-active in copyright claims since the core business could be at major risk after DMCA provisions on hosting sites seems to have taken a hit after MegaUpload and Torrent hosting sites have been taken to task by the authorities. Plus Youtube is looking at more content deals so they have to play ball with content creators to try and grow into a bigger business. If Gaming happens to be a casualty it is no real harm to Youtube. The big stars like TotalBiscuit and PewdiePie need Youtube more than YT needs them

Wow, the stream itself looks like crap. The original is so crisp in comparison.

We use up all our lucky use trying to cut down trees. We dont have any to spare on correct tm usage.

Interesting, but it's not chaotic at all which kills some of the amusement. There are also only ~250 viewers.

I like that implementation a lot better. But it's too late, the charm and originality of the concept have pretty much worn off (as has been said). Original is the only one I'll follow with any persistence.

Hey this is fun.
the delay timer and impact of seeing everyones inputs is fun, works a lot better sure its less crazy also but its manageable.

Yeah, you could be right about that.

I thought it was a legit one, but nope. Just a copy-cat.

I WAKE UP and Abby's gone. We actually lost a potential Charizard...

Man, Junichi Masuda composed a crazy-good soundtrack. The Rocket Hideout music is an example of that.

Love the concept more, however, Twitch delay fucking kills it.

 

[Toxi]

Yeah, as tempting as it is to teach Double Edge to Flareon (Or Pidgeot if it can learn it), we REALLY don't want Flareon to learn another move before level 31. After that, fair game.

In other news, I suck at MS Paint.

 

[CassSept]

The future is weirder than anyone anticipated.

There are thousands of people missing Jay Leno the Ratatta. Think about it. It's truly a brave new world.

 

[HK-47]

I dunno. I keep the blue stream up because its nice to see cooperation. Obviously the red stream is hilarious. I'm just waiting for the blue stream to get ahead of them so maybe there will be more cross stream pollenation.

Also because its Helix vs Dome.

Anything that undermines this run is not cool right now. I just want this to finish and do the Gold/Silver marathon.

 

[LordGouda]

The soundtrack in Pokemon has always been good. Though, because how disharmonious the chat is; the music ends up messing up, causing me to just cringe.

There's no point in doing this if you're refining how it controls to get it as close to normal as possible.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Basically this. That concept combined with a reduced delay would be semi-playable and would be finished relatively fast.

 

[TedNindo]

Kind of what I proposed. But better to do it every certain number of inputs and every second. Every second alone slows it down quite a bit.

I don't think it's an obvious/unavoidable consequence...

- this stream works on an emulator, even if you could do it without one (PC > microcontroller > GBPlayer in SNES or Gamecube > capture card > Twitch) which can be a specific "problem"

- I think the fact that the twitch visitors can issue commands is a bit different than looking a broadcast.


In fact, if this becomes allowed, that means that anyone could be running a Playstation-now-like service via Twitch, the ONLY think preventing it would be the (currently) big lag. I could understant why editors wouldn't want this to be allowed.

Such a stream should be safe, though, although I think they should have avoided paying suscribers (could they disable it?)
