Okay, now that I have time to actually write a decent reply to this...

DL: Not priority in that sense, was refering to what Cnyder said, I'll get to that in a minute.

Oslo: My issue with that whole round is this:

You ignored a Substitution of mine, when it was to clearly be triggered by Cnyder's set of commands. The Attacks themselves are not issued in the middle of the match, they're both revealed during subsequent posts between each Round. And after the second Trainer posts their attacks, then are the Actions tabulated for the round to proceed (because there's really no other way to do this). This is how I view this as a Ref, and how Action Substitutions are supposed to work. Because if they don't work like this.. then having Subs (necessary in this format) are null and void (nightmare for some players out there who sub every freakin thing in the book).

It isn't supposed to be: "oh, attack goes here, but oh, it's so fast he can't use his sub even though he subbed to counter this attack." That's deliberately ignoring a clear substitution against an attack that I know is coming, Susanoo knows is coming, YOU know it's coming and Cnyder knows for SURE it's coming. It really isn't an issue of WHEN once Cnyder's actions are revealed, because then the when is Known to both parties, and thus Substitutions can trump previously selected moves as long as the trigger action is there.

You see, I view these Action posts are like Magic the Gathering's Spell Stack.

I play Extreme Speed, Cnyder in response plays Earthquake, I counterspell my own Extreme Speed with Counter in response to Cnyder playing Earthquake (as I posted originally), then the stack is resolved. My Substitutions trump my selected actions so long as the trigger is there. Which it was. It doesn't matter when the round begins because both sets of actions from both battlers are known, and Substitutions (if any) are exchanged with the Action Slots before the Round even begins. This keeps it fair to both Trainers throughout the Battle, and yes I would argue this even if my opponent didn't get their substitution (I think I have... actually... against Blade <<U... When I beat his Rawk Hawk with Godzilla... *Victory Dance*, if not with him than I have in other matches).

And I can show how there's also a double standard here:

Cnyder posted actions in response to actions I had posted. However, their Tropius has a SPD Stage increase above Susanoo, which means Oashi's actions to counter mine wouldn't happen as written because she'd go BEFORE my moves take place (thanks to the SPD +1). After all, how can she counter the move when (as by your own argument) she wouldn't know the attack is coming?

You see my point?

Cnyder:

Heh, taking advantage of/finding a way around subs is fun. xD
That really wasn't a way of finding a way around a sub. I've done it before, and yes it is fun when you can lock down your opponent thanks to vague Sub combos.

Since Extremespeed's priority means it can't use Counter on that first turn, go for an Earthquake as it gets close.
No, as explained previously. The moment you reveal your commands are the same moment my Substitutions should kick in before the Round starts (Original thought upon reading that comment: Since when?! Subs don't work like that?!)

DL: Also, didn't appreciate this:

(And here I thought Mew was going to fall back on his Spiritomb's trusty Curse + Pain Split strategy...)
While it may be common knowledge, maybe Cnyder didn't know about that combo, or my other combos. But if they didn't, now they do, and almost equates to cheating if this were an official tournament (Poker, Magic, Blackjack, Underwater Basket Weaving). >:/

Mock me anywhere else cept my battle (unless you're reffing, then I expect it).

Cnyder: Also, sorry if I misspelled your name as 'Cnider' I tried to catch them all and fix em. May have missed a few.

Oslo: Will dig up Groudon for ya... Since you want him, and I don't need em, How about I just trade him to ya? He's not really the Legendary I want (wanted Rayquaza)[/notbribeIswearthoughtofitatwork]
