TM Fanfics Index: Recommendations & Discussion. Updates never

[Seika]

Anyway, +1 to If you give this Man a Ride.

I like this person. He has good taste.

While I'm around, +1 to Heldenhaft, which I'm fairly sure I meant to recommend years ago, and apparently just forgot. Minor grammar slips, and Akhilleus' power set is far from how I'd set it up in the Nasuverse, but it's otherwise very much what I want out of a fight 'fic. The tempo is good and varies effectively, the action is strongly informed by the characters of everyone participating, and the emotional work is nicely done. Odysseus and Roland's sections really shine, and Akhilleus is at least adequate.

[Fafnir]

And I think he was the guy who tried arguing that you can dodge TG by tuck and rolling.

TG?

[Meh]

TG?

Tsubame Gaeshi

[Vagrant]

TG?

Aerial Ace.

And everyone knows you can't avoid Aerial Ace. Shit is like Swift, yo.

[Fafnir]

Tsubame Gaeshi

Oh. OH.

Well, maybe if it's conceptual tucking and rolling.

[Leo Novum]

I would like to give a +1 to Saint of Zero for making George seem like a decent character and not having him taking up a Bible and bludgeoning everything within reach.

[Nuclear]

Aerial Ace.

And everyone knows you can't avoid Aerial Ace. Shit is like Swift, yo.

Unless you use Protect or Detect, or are in the semi-invulnerable state of Dive, Fly, or Dig. However, both cases simply mean you are a scrub.

[Kyte]

So Seiba is a scrub? She used Detect, after all.

[Vagrant]

Sure, but Saber didn't have Protect at the time, Shirou was still holding onto the TM to be used at a better time. She did manage to use Detect to avoid Aerial Ace though, this is true.

But we all know that was total bullshit because who runs Detect on a non-Doubles Saber anyway?

So that's what the Edelfelt tactic was.

[Vagrant]

They were into VGC format way before it was cool. The ultimate hipsters.

[Meh]

Well, this is a thing.

[Fafnir]

So, is Shinji the guy who read all his strategies on Smogon, but needs to borrow his sister's Gameboy?

[Vagrant]

He may have read the strategies, but he clearly never EV trained or bred for IVs. His sister's Rider is a much better specimen than his.

[Fafnir]

His Rider is the result of a string of failed IV inheritances. Blame Byakuya.

[Meh]

What's Waver then? The guy who lucked out with a Shiny 6-31IV?

[Fafnir]

What's Waver then? The guy who lucked out with a Shiny 6-31IV?

Waver is the guy who stole a Rider without having the proper level to control it, nor being the original trainer.

All things considered he's been hella lucky.

[Vagrant]

Waver's that dick kid who steals your rare Pokémon in a shitty trade and then claims its his endlessly.

[Meh]

Lucky bastard.

What about Kayneth?

[Vagrant]

Kayneth lost his competitive team just before the tournament because he got careless with the cart he'd saved it on and some punk stole it at school, so he had to hastily breed a new one, and now he's stuck with a Beedrill that knows Twinneedle and Attract, somehow.
