interesting there are 2 images of those 6 promo cards on pokebeachs site and the older one while lower rez and harder to read you can clearly see the victini's have different attacks then the newer pic, also the psychic victini in the older pic was :lightning: weak and :fighting: or :fire: resist while the new one is just :psychic: or :dark: weak
 
A brief descriptions of the different points of worrying about cards, along with a brief description of how mad you seem:

-Worrying when a card starts showing up in every deck, and single handedly dominating the format. (Not mad at all, this is the correct time to worry)

-Worrying when the set scans appear shortly after Prereleases. (A bit silly, until the card receives extensive testing in a lot of decks you can't know how good it'll be, but of course, some just stand out.)

-Worrying as soon as we get translations of a Japanese card. (Quite mad, you have no idea if we are getting the card, or what sort of format we will have if we do get it. Calm down a bit.)

-Worrying when you see a blurry picture of a Japanese card which does what looks like 130 for what seems to be a psychic energy, with what may very well be an additional effect that could be literally anything. (Totally insane. Invest in a straight jacket and a padded room.)

Allow me to add...
Back when HG/SS was announced (the videogames), people were wondering which LV X cards would come with it.
I made a post along the lines of "I expect two waves...first you get the starters/legendaries and such, and then you get the big ones/famous ones. Stuff like Kingdra, Scizor, Steelix, Tyranitar etc for wave 2"

People started to fear Kingdra LVX.
 
It also uses up slots on your bench for Ditto as well. Don't expect to see a ton of Dittos until Cinccino and/or Victini start doing big things. Its cause and effect. Ditto is also an easy prize with Luxray GL still available and Pokemon Catcher coming out. Ditto will only help against Victini if the person using it doesn't anticipate the opponent using cards to stop it. I am pretty sure it will not shut it down completely. Slow it down, yes.
 
Well vinctini can make a quick start but if you have ditto it would screw up there start. You can choose to put ditto on your bench if you want' and you can get ditto out of your discard pile if it is knocked out.

And there is also reshiram or zekrom to counter cinccino or victini.
 
^ Different Victini bro

I'm sure it has to have ome effect that makes it unplayable though.
Let's just wait until we get a full translation

Well my guess for the translation would be discard thirty cards from your deck and it does 150.

Again: the unknown Victini is about flipping coins. Nothing else.



Also, these are decks, not promos. We will be seeing these cards in probably the next English set.

Furthermore, to the person who mentioned the gimmick Tepig: that's only a jumbo, thus not tournament legal anyway.

^Which is great, because it would have been a judging nightmare. XD Does half on count? What if it's only a sliver on? etc.

My guess is the card will say something like "Flip 3 coins. If any off them are tails, this attack fails." Entirely luck based, not broken.

Are you guys literally making up effects for a card you don't even know?

Well, it probably will have something to do with flipping coins, because the deck that it's going to be released in will be called "coin flip Victini deck" or something along those lines.

However what it has to do with coin flipping, or what else it could be is pure speculation.
