    Sorry, I probably won't be able to. The Switch I play Rocket League on is being commandeered for other games tonight.

    That's fine! I'll wait a bit and see if anyone else is able :)

    Out of curiosity what do all these mega evolutions, gigantamaxing, dynamixing, Z-Moves, G Max Moves etc actually do from a gameplay POV? Is it just the same moves as normal but slightly more powerful attack values or is it more interesting than that?

    I actually heard something interesting about this at the Q&A panel, I say interesting very loosely because it actually makes me feel a bit disappointed, but I'll explain. Paraphrasing btw, but this was the main point:

    "I was fighting Nessa during my demo time with the Pokémon company, who dynamaxed one of her water types. I sent out Yamper because I figured an electric type would do well, and he got destroyed before I could do anything. I think it's very strategic, that you have to essentially decide which Pokémon to send out as a sacrifice."

    Now either he's not very good at battles (or because using weak demo Pokémon, which is fair enough) or my worst assumption is correct: 

    Dynamax is near impossible to overcome without sending out another huge Pokémon of your own. The latter idea irks me ever so much, because I don't like the idea of GameFreak deciding that big Pokémon can only be taken down with OP powerhouses or other Big Pokémon. I also don't think "sacrificing" and "waiting" are particularly strategic things to do... Even if you came up with a way to weather the storm without your Pokémon dying, that's still pretty much a "just don't die 'til Dynamax wears off" strategy. Maybe you could use something like a FEAR strategy on them, but I feel like this new mechanic just limits your options either way. Even if you're the one doing the dynamaxing, it's limiting you to "be big and just nuke the enemy with no careful strategy or planning". Unless you're against another Max, you really don't get to do anything interesting once you pop the enlargement pill.

    I had like 4 games on my initial list before they got replaced by games I remembered going down the list of Wii games. Excuse me while I go cry in the corner.

    I've also edited the opening post with the Top 10 Gamecube Games article.

    I know you have that rule that prevents you posting games you aren't nominating, but I'm curious now. Mind sending me a PM? I already voted and won't be changing my list so it's not cheating, right?

    OK, I've entered. I hope this works. The second non-existant player is with me in the lobby.

    I have it set up so that one goal wins the whole round, and best of three so that me and @Vanilla can both win a round as MVP. if it all works out, 2 goals should be all we need! :D If Nick had entered, we'd stagger the wins so all 3 of us could get it in the same match (best of 3 is great for this), but as that isn't happening, it doesn't matter which order Vanilla and I score in

    @Glen-i I've set up the tournament, I have it set for 7:40PM.

    Tournament is in the 2v2 tab, name is "N-Europe"

    Password for the tournament is "dinner" (all lower case)

    EDIT: I see your party invite, but as you need to enter with a party the correct size, accepting would make us all ineligible for entry :p
