Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[AN(M)ist]

Aether (Noun)

1) A medium that was once supposed to fill all space and to support the propagation of electromagnetic*waves

2) Personification of the sky or upper air breathed by the Olympians; son of Erebus and night or of Chaos and darkness



..So Ike doing all the jump-to-whirl-to-slam-on-the-ground thing and calling it aether is completely irrelevant what aether is terminologically. It might give you a feeling that Ike shoots for the sky (hence aether) but then slams back down and does a back-flip. Hence, I don't think calling this move of Ike's as 'aether' is covering all grounds.

sequel hasnt hit europe yet. imad

Not in America, either. Emulation all day, son. =)

 

[Heartstring]

oh...my computer cant emulate, not even NES stuff XD

 

[san.]

Berserker, I acquired it, but the english patch wasn't english enough, so I couldn't play lol.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

That's why you learn Japanese like I am. =) And still skip through half of the dialogue because you don't want to actually translate/get the gist of the conversation. The only thing I 100% understood about the game is that Marth is a wimp, and Ogma turns emo.

 

[disasterABDUL]

Lyn, Hector, and Eliwood game, Shadow Dragon, Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, and Radiant Dawn.

I'll tell you this: I'm a master at rage-resetting after one of my characters die. That line of games filled me up with too much sodium chloride.

SO MANY TIMES THIS
i recently restarted the lyn and hector one and I really hate the chapters where its really foggy and you can't see unless you use a torch or move a character.

 

[san.]

Fog of War dissuades me from playing a lot of games.

Although.. It was done pretty well in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

 

[Ussi]

fog of war is supposed to be annoying, i'm not not gonna play the game cause of it unless its like that always. Its only some chapters so its fine to me, just a few more ragequits till i memorize the level. Nothing different since i have to memorize the RNG to maximize not missing and stat growths

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

That's what thieves are for, guys. You got no excuses once you get Legault. >_>

 

[Ussi]

I use matthew + torch for the beauty of 13 blocks view


Also rage incoming:

stupid dumb florina deciding its a good time to crit a mage when if ya didn't it woulda lives thus blocking off the mage behind him from attacking her blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!


Also Raven keeps leveling up and getting only +1 HP -_-;;

I had to prepromote Guy just to beat level 19x x.x

 

[-RedX-]

I'm currently playing the old FE games on the SNES. I finished FE4, almost done with FE3 and gonna start Thracia 776 soon. I've heard that the game is a bit difficult compared to the other games though. :l

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I think I'll actually get to those games myself now. I'll look for english patches for a little bit, but don't feel like wasting a bunch of time doing so.

 

[Ussi]

Difficult cause some units are unusable

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Difficult cause some units are unusable

I'm pretty sure that award goes to FE6 Hard Mode, since 90% of the characters in that game suck.

 

[Heartstring]

Difficult cause some units are unusable

surely this is the case for most characters. anything pre promoted is terrible...right?

 

[Napos]

This is kinda a long shot but have any of you guys played Delta Force: Land Warrior? That was my first Multiplayer game

 

[Zatchiel]

I just noticed I trip at the worst and best possible moments sometimes. I trip before about 70% of my pivot grabs that I KNOW would have went through if I hadn't tripped, lol. Then again, it saved me from certain turmoil in many situations.

I think I should stand around more, rather than shield dashing so much.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

It doesn't matter. As a byproduct of tripping 1240195091 times a match, I jump so often without even realizing what I'm doing. Still trip just as often. Nothing you can do will stifle the tripping. NOTHING. NOTHINNNNNGGGGGGGGGG-

>_>

This. Holms and I loved how they made Fog Of War in Days of Ruin. Just a question: did Days of Ruin come out before Radiant Dawn? Nope, it didn't. 'Would've been nice to have that game's mechanics...

 

[san.]

Maybe I should go back and actually BEAT the game.. I got near the end and wanted to do all the side missions in the past.

 

[Ussi]

Most pre-promotes are good to use in FE7 HHM since they save you funds from promoting and are decent enough to fight the enemies.




Just reached living legend. Why oh why did they convert it to a fog of war T_T

Ace attorney!

OBJECTION!

As of August 12th 2008, a no tripping code was posted in Smash World Forum which wholly cancelled the tripping mechanics in Brawl. The thread in which this post was posted has been up since then right HERE.

You, sir, are proven guilty of conveying false information to general public and thereby creating flimsy accusations for otherwise a veritably entertaining Wii game.

Just felt like going Phoenix Wright dude. No hard feelings right

 

[Ussi]

Gameplay hacks are banned from competitive play

 

[AN(M)ist]

True, but the point being made here is that there isn't nothing that counters tripping.

 

[Ussi]

Tell me that after losing a set because i got punished by mk's dsmash cause i tripped instead of dash shielded

That was hypotechical

But i saw a video of a guy tripping into a Snake utilt when he was 120% and Snake was 160%, last stock, game 3

 

[san.]

I tripped into Raz3r's fsmash at Apex crews which led to me getting damaged up to like 80% but still ended up winning somehow.

Counter counters tripping.
Oh wait.

 

[Ussi]

It was 2 stock to 3 stock, but you managed to only lose 1 stock. You probably might have not lost a stock if you didn't trip

 

[Mr. Doom]

I air trip with MK. 'See if you can make sense of that.

 

[Ussi]

You got high on air? Making you tripping and all

Agreed times 1000000000000

EDIT: I read through the Ike profile thread. Where'd metroid go? I miss him.

 

[Ussi]

He plays melee

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

So in other words.... he betrayed us. Except not really. I guess.

 

[Ussi]

I enjoy melee over brawl even on the casual level.

L canceling is one of the greatest smash innovations there was. If we had l canceling in brawl, my god everyone would be happy and can be aggresive since their aerials are now safe on shield. We'd be sooo amazing~


More HHM ranting:

Efing Kent can't ever stay alive! I wish i used Lowen instead with his amazing defense growth that Kent so desperately needs -_-;; wyhern riders just my bane... They always hitting me with their 30 accuracy blaaaaaah!! Why did i use mostly sword users ._. i have no axe users cause Hector is sitting at level 20 and the rest of them SUCK to raise when you get them ._. maybeh i shoulda used dorkus in lyndis mode .-.;;


Siiiiigh chapter 23 only took 7 resets, but 6 out of 7 was cause i was trying to force a +str for Guy.

 

[Heartstring]

l cancelling is good if you can do it consistently, ive been trying to teach myself. but its hard when you lose your memory card with melee data on it XD

 

[Mr. Doom]

You got high on air? Making you tripping and all

No, not at all. You know how you want to keep jumping with characters who have multiple jumps and a glide? Well, sometimes the game thinks you're holding the jump button, making you glide. I think, even with tap-jump off, if you hold up while jumping, you'll proceed to glide.

 

[Ussi]

Oh no wonder i get so many glide suicides trying uair all day xD

 

[disasterABDUL]

so am I really bad or is Radiant Dawn really hard? I remember some girl telling me she didn't think it was
but most of your starting characters aren't that good =/

random question: does anyone here know what would cause pokemon changes with PT to last longer with hacks?

 

[Teh Brettster]

Radant Dawn is a lot harder than Path of Radiance, yeah. The Dawn Brigade is full of low levels that don't get really good until part 4 of the game (out of 4 parts).

But then you get to part 4 of the game, when you've had enough time to level them up from tier 1 to tier 2 to tier 3, and suddenly you like them a lot better.

The Greil Mercenaries are just good anyway. From the get-go.


As to the other question-- I don't know, but I'm not the guy to ask.

 

[san.]

When I used codes in Pokemon Heart Gold version, there was a level modifier to pokemon you meet in the wild.
I set it to my team's highest level.

If possible, set all enemy IVs to 31 to make for tougher fights (think it applied to trainer pokemon also). I think I also had their Attack and speed EVs maxed too.


It made it much more fun, especially since I made my own custom team to level through, no need to deal with the crap pokemon.

edit: I've become a lot less tolerant of grinding.
The way I set up the game, by the time I reached Red, I was level 65 with hardly any grinding.
