Ultimate Team War - Ender's Game 3

My opponent seems to base his plan around the idea that Link leaves at T=5. However, I have already specified that Lucas and Link only leave if they can do so before my opponent is done; otherwise, I await six Dragon Dances by Rayquaza. After seeing the lasers, Link concludes that it is not safe to leave yet. Instead, a Naruto clone explodes, revealing absolutely nothing. The real Naruto starts to feel queasy after one of his clones was damaged so badly. Upon hearing and seeing the explosion, Lucas has an idea. He teaches Lapras Substitute to replace Block, and has a Substitute pushed into the Battle Room. A large number of Narutos don't realize that it is a Substitute, and suicide-bomb it. The Narutos then conclude that they cannot explode to create light, leaving them in the dark about Team PRO's strategies. "MEANWHILE, Lucas cannot issue commands while inside the preparation room, as it counts as an 'attack'." Rule 4: " By 'attack,' I mean that neither team may disrupt the other team in any way as long as either team is in the Preparation Room." Commands can be issued; as long as the Pokï¿½mon is outside the Preparation Room while the attack actually occurs, it is by the rules. "At T=12, a Naruto by the portal hears Lucas shout 'Tailwind' and explodes, killing Lucas since he is just a normal human." For one thing, the command can be issued in the Preparation Room. For another, "each Naruto clone grabs a piece of clay and stuffs it into his ears." The Naruto has made himself deaf. He can't hear a command. My opponent continues his argument against Tailwind. I would like to make a quick analogy. Say my opponent decided to use a character that was made of dynamite, exploding when exposed to fire, and say I used Charizard. Nowhere in the games does Flamethrower ever trigger dynamite, as there is no fire-susceptible dynamite in the games, so my opponent would have you conclude that Flamethrower's flames would not trigger the dynamite of his character. However, this assumes a complete lack of compatability between any games whatsoever, and ultimately leads to no possible interactions between characters of different games. Therefore, my opponent's interpretation is false. As for SSBM, see Whispy Woods. (http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com...) My opponent assumes that he can bomb Rayquaza before Surf is unleashed, but there are two problems. One, the Narutos aren't even aware of Surf being unleashed. Two, there's nothing to stop Rayquaza from initiating Surf while in the preparation room, to carry it into the Battle Room to attack Team CON. My opponent plans to evacuate Team CON to the back wall after Surf is unleashed. However, nobody on Team CON can actually evacuate what they are not aware of, and as they can neither see nor hear, they are hopeless against the Surf that they don't even consider the existence of. In fact, among what they know, they know they don't know, and what they don't know they don't know, the looming Surf would fall into the third category. By the time they realize it, it's too late. They've been hit. Should any member of Team CON successfully escape, Rayquaza needs only to let loose another Surf to follow the first, but this time in a more random direction. For my concluding points: 1. As my opponent claims that his suicide bombing will occur before Lucas is out of the prep room, the Narutos will be bombing empty air. 2. Gusty Gus is not a Pokï¿½mon, but it is clear that if any trans-source interaction can ever occur in Ultimate Team War, the intense similarities between the attacks of Gusty Gus and Whispy Woods and Tailwind are too great to ignore. 3. I cited the GameBoy versions? My opponent chooses to a respond to my Round 3 argument, which should have been taken care of in Round 4. "The pokemon move 'gravity' may not necessarily change the actual, physical gravitational force. It may just ground flying types." Again, my opponent chooses to ignore the implications of an attack and assume that the proven effects are the only effects, even if obvious inference shows otherwise. But fear not, I can quote Bulbapedia (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net...(move)): "Gravity is intensified for five turns, making moves involving flying unusable and negating Levitation." Now, to sum it all up: Team CON is completely unaware of what Team PRO does. It relies on sight, but as Midna does not glow, and the laser blasters are inefficient lines of weak light, Team PRO will simply be waiting for what they think they will see, allowing Team PRO to work without Team CON even knowing. They're still waiting to see Midna while Lucas prepares, and Link is still waiting. A few Narutos would be lost with pre-emptive suicide bombing, weakening Naruto greatly. Rayquaza uses Tailwind, then Surf, without any of the Narutos even getting to know that Rayquaza has come out. Rayquaza's invisible Surf first kills all of the Naruto clones directly next to the Team PRO wall. Others soon follow. The invisible Surf completely wipes out Team CON. Any survivors are picked apart by Clawshotting (as explained in earlier rounds), Hyper Beam, and Outrage. That will be all. Thank you for your time, and thank you for this wonderful debate, Kleptin.
