Sooo I got into speed running

Back in the 90s I would try to beat Sonic the Hedgehog as fast as I could, I had no idea speed running was a thing till about 2009 and I didn't care to try till this year. My first game will be a very nostalgic game for me, Kick Master. This was one of those late released NES games that came out during the SNES release period , I remember my cousins were living with me while they were in between moving homes, they rented this for one weekend, fast forward 20 something years and I see this being ran by Zrye at SGDQ 2014 it looked so fun I had to run it as my first game since its not incredibly hard and little to no glitches to master. I've had the game for a few years now and I just need to replace the pins in my NES before I can start running. I know this is pretty different from my regular fighting games but look for that on my stream soon....

POKEMON TCG: DECK LIST - POLI'S WRATH!

The water/fighting angry frog from generation one tcg base set has always been one of my favorite cards. The Ken Sugomori water color art depicting Poliwrath bulked up in the swirling dark blue whirlpool in the background was really striking. Poliwrath's main attack Whirlpool cost 3 water energy for 80 damage, thats not great at all for a stage 2 Pokemon with 140HP, in today's format thats horrible actually. The bright side of the Whirlpool attack is its effect to force your opponent to discard any type of energy card! That includes special energy such as Double Colorless and Double Dragon which is featured in a lot of decks, this could potentially keep your opponent energy starved when you throw in item cards such as Crushing Hammer and Enhanced Hammer, throw in a Team Flare Grunt or two for good measure and I feel as long as you can get Poliwrath within the first 3 turns you can keep them starved for energy and they wont be able to hit
you. This definitley wont beat a speedy top tier deck but this will for sure be a fun one!

4x Poliwrath EVO #25
