why not Actual reasoning: when looking at what colour schemes other characters have that I was missing, pink/purple is a common one. Halo CE salmon always stuck in my mind for some reason, so that's why I went for it.

Halo was the first game I consistently played when I was young, so it is pretty fun to imagine how he'd translate to a 2D fighting game. I also feel he's a tiny bit more likely than most would believe, but he's a fun pipe dream regardless. Here's a few random thoughts for what I'd do for some...

Simples. Chrom is -Atk +Def, Morgan is +Atk -Spd. Smash 5 is almost certainly a new game, but it would not surprise me if it uses Smash 4 as a foundation. If that is the case, then I can't see characters like Corrin getting the boot.

January and February is usually the coldest month of the year, though winters here are typically more damp than anything, and such low temperatures and snow setting for long periods of time like it did that week is unusual. Made for some nice views though. I'm planning on spending a semester in...

I'll fully admit that I cannot see myself doing an iron man run of a game, so for that I give you a ton of credit. RIP Niles. Chapter 20 If this game was realistic, Ike would have seen a single snowflake on the Crimean border and decide to call it a day. Because seriously why is the heaviest...

No it doesn't. Chapter 18 Nephenee has been a staple unit of mine for most of the game now, but I know next to nothing about her because she hasn't spoken since I broke her out of jail. That I feel is a disadvantage of having small support pools, as if you don't use their partners then you...

Those Valentines units look phenomenal; the only thing stopping me from trying to summon them is that I'm not really familiar with the Elibe games. Maybe in the future. As for mages over sand, I think I'll just accept 'magic' as an explanation. At least the game is self aware about it. Also...

It's time. Chapter 14 I have nothing to say about this one. Chapter 15 I have a lot to say about this one. Gameplay wise, it's a desert map against Laguz who have a resistance to the movement penalty. Desert maps aren't too popular, though this map's pretty simple as it's more about tanking...

Soren 20th and Kaden 19th with only 10 votes separating them? I'm happy with that.

I got Ike on my second roll, and he's +HP - Res. I hope everybody else has similar or even better luck.

I got you. Admittedly, these choices were a bit on-the-fly, but I'm happy with my selections. About my Path of Radiance playthrough; updates on it will be slow for two reasons. One, I want to try and avoid forcing myself to write about chapters I don't have anything to say about. Two, I've...

I have just discovered that America has really odd spines on Gamecube games. Why is the Gamecube logo on the bottom? How has everybody gone this long without questioning this? On topic, I'd personally prefer if CYL was used to add popular minor characters like with the Farfetched Heroes update...

Chapter 13: Replaying this level makes me really wish Path of Radiance was a little more user friendly. That said, I don't think the Tellius duology needs an Echoes-style remake as their actual presentation has held up pretty well; it just needs a few tweaks and it becomes perfect. Despite all...

Chapter 13: Astrid died on the very first turn because despite being recruitable, she cannot tank a paper plane. Thanks Path of Radiance. Round two: Soren died close to the last turn because of a critical. Thanks Path of Radiance. I think I'll finish this level another time.

Ike has an unused sprite where he faces the camera. It's amazing what a small change in perspective can do. Chapter 11: This chapter had me thinking a lot about what I think is Fire Emblem's greatest strength: It's ability to mix high fantasy with the mundane. My favourite characters all tend...
