Stat total 680. There was a big huge debate thread a while back about the definition of an über.
They might parse as having a really high attack stat, but that doesn't change that they don't actually have a high stat total. In the real game, not theory given from parsing, you're basically screwed a lot more from having only OHKO attacks as opposed to versatile other attacks. Not to mention that real übers hit so hard they average faster kills regardless.
Each round, your accuracy doesn't change. That is to say, you can expect that, over time, each battle in which you Sheer Cold successively two turns in a row will result in a KO 51% of the time. In an individual battle, this may not occur. But for the sake of argument, let's take a tournament's worth of battling as a statistically significant number of battles, and project that you get a KO in two turns roughly 50% of the time. This means that you're liable to win a match about half the time, assuming your opponents are using high-powered attackers. This isn't a statistic that's overpowering in any sense of the word. That said, how does this compare to a high attack sweeper's power? Do they average a KO in two turns 50% of the time, or does a sufficiently-powered sweeper average a two-turn kill 75% or even 90% of the time? Your table is still incomplete in that regard.
And you've been doing nothing to prevent this from occurring? You've not tried to disrupt their strategy at all? It's a powerful strategy, I admit, but not such an overpowering one that you're dead the moment Umbreon comes out.
Yes.
Yes, this is entirely what I was saying. You'll be "hated on" entirely because German Koffing style elitists only want to lose to things they want to lose to. They don't want to lose to a strategy they see as "cheap" or requiring less skill than they want to project as the game requiring.
But what takes more skill is realizing when to use a complex strategy, and when to use a simpler one.
Several of the German Koffing posters linked to referred to things like Double Team being particularly more potent than average, or OHKOs landing more frequently than statistically average "hax," so you can see where I made this assumption.
The elitists are the one who want to shape the game into their perfect little vision of it, rather than just accept that Gamefreak made a game one way and they'd really rather it be another.
