The Showdown Replay/Battle Video Thread

[terashards]

feel free to post your showdown replays (or in-game battle videos/recordings) here! for any reason, whether something funny happened or you want advice on what went wrong or you're just proud of how you played. all i ask is that posts are not mean-spirited, as in, please don't make fun of your opponents for playing poorly or riff on beginners. it's fine to be amused by obvious "meme teams" but just remain respectful. all in good fun!

i'll start with a replay from earlier this year when i participated in a gen 5 DOU draft league. it was against a friend of mine that i had lost to early in a tournament years prior, so it was fun to finally rematch him and kinda whoop his butt :3 (warning for potential profanity in the chat. i know i don't cuss a ton on these forums but i'm not so clean elsewhere on the web lol)

when i was able to bluff the scarf on typhlosion (which i had used in every match in the tournament up until this point BTW) and get the ground gem KO off on heatran that i had explicitly prepared for, i practically cheered LOL. thank you!!

These are some of the only draft league replays I have where there’s no reference to anyone’s name so here you go!

Also it’s not a replay but this incredible start to a randubs match:

Fun fact: I almost won this. Somehow.
