Flamethrower vs. Fire Blast

[Six Trails]

Which do you prefer? Power or accuracy?

 

[Southern Gothic]

Going with the power of Fireblast.

There were a few other fire moves that I thought worked as substitutions for flamethrower to some degree. So I could always decide on one of those, and I liked to keep fireblast in my back pocket for bigger battles.

 

[Event Horizon]

Flamethrower, easily. I have a habit of always missing with Fire Blast when I need it to hit the most.
Same with the other moves, Surf over Hydro Pump, Ice Beam over Blizzard and Thunderbolt over Thunder.

 

[SSJ2]

Fire Blast. Missing 15% of the time is too minor for me to worry about.

 

[Kyo]

In Pokemon, 15% is 50%.

Either way, Fire Blast for multiplayer, Flamethrower for singleplayer campaign. Overheat if I'm confident in switching a lot or have a mixed attacker I guess.

Edit: Overheat's also good in singleplayer because of the "would you like to switch" thing.

 

[SSJ2]

Ja, I prefer Overheat over both of these moves.

 

[Doctor Havoc]

You'd think they would do Rng but nah

 

[Super Saiyan Overlord1007]

I'd go with Flamethrower. Unless a move like Sunny Day is in play you'll miss with fire blast a considerable number of times instead of a move with good accuracy like Flamethrower. Besides whenever I play it seems like Flamethrower does more damage than Fire Blast even though Fire Blast is the stronger move

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Flamethrower. Accuracy trumps power for me unless the difference is absolute huge. There's only a 20 power difference between the two iirc.

 

[Uchiha]

Fire blast is better on average.

110 - (110 * .15) = 93.5
90 - (90 * 0) = 90

But I prefer flamethrower because I'm human and RNG hates my guts
