hehe... o.k. I can hit it but not like on my strong side. On my strong it's illusion after illusion and flip it's only one illusion and after that half a dex and drop :oops: but it's because I've never worked on it :oops:
and it's going to change in two days time!

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
shame on me!! :?

if you want to say that your osis is bad on bothsides

mein osis ist "auf beiden Seiten" sehr schwach

for me:
- flip illusion (but have hit pigbeater, both sides)
- flip flapper
- flip fairy

You guys just reminded me of more simple stuff I suck at.

I can't spin! well.. I can spin, I just can't set the spin.

And symp mirages are really hard too.

I have troubles with flip swirls. I also have troubles with drifter, grifter.

Ducking Dex tricks other than a butterfly are somewhat hard for me too.
