We have our first look at the new Mega Man cartoon via a film reel.
And some screenshots of it.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
It looks better in motion, but Mega Man's design still feels off to me.
The other Robot Masters look pretty good though.

Sometimes I feel the only one that actually like Knights/Generals. I mean, until FE6, they were pure garbage because Mov was super valuable due to the maps being big(especially in FE4) and lack of Spd aka the best stat in all of FE. But FE7 gave use Oswin and Wallace, and then FE8 gave use Gilliam and, despite many calling her useless, Amelia. Dunno how they did in Tellius but I know Awakening ****ed them up even in their design and the two avaible Knights being the most forgettable characters in their respective generations.
But man, did they make a comeback in Fates, Wary Fighter is the skill that erases their one weakness and Benny can tank for days while Effie OHKOes everything.

Anyways, answering the question: Pegasus Knights
I don't think I ever enjoyed using one of them, high Res is pointless when you can't counterattack Mages, they are all very frail and weak on the physical side, low Con makes their high Spd useless, prone to death by 360 no scopes and Wyverns just do the flying gimmick better. I sometimes even try to use the because the GBA Pegs are all cute girls and to get in my army you need to be cute but I dropped them all after either a stray arrow or having to stick Slim Lances to them that are as effective as me beating a wall with a spoon.
The closest I ever got to it was using Shigure in Fates... as a Kinshi Knight

On the case of units I hate on the enemy side, two words: GBA Heros
Heros are one of the few Jack-of-All-Trades RPG classes that actually manage to become Masters-of-All, unfortunately, that applies to the Red Units as well, which means they have a sturdy, strong, bulky and fast machine of destruction blocking your way to Jaffar before he suicides into Ursula. And for good measure they can also carry Axes and make good use of them because unlike Warriors or Berserkers they can actually see. The only thing you'll see, however, is a shield spinning in the air before a Killer Axe makes you black out
Knights/Generals are actually decent in the telius games, they're very good at doing there job and can easily tank anything. Heck, they're decently fast too and from my experience have gotten 2x over other units. Of course, this depends on which one you're using because they all have different strengths. Except Meg, Meg is the worst one in the entire series and that's saying a lot. Though they're still not one of the better classes because mounted units in general got something that just made them stand out over pretty much any other class.(Being able to move after combating an enemy.) So the best class in those games are definitely Wyvern Riders, Jill(PoR) and Haar(RD) are some of the most powerful units in the series because of not only this, but having great stats/growths. Though there are some terrible units that are mounted anyway(Especially since surprisingly, some are much slower than even generals), but I'm just saying as a class.

Oh, also the Black Knight is a general in that series and he destroys any of your units not named Ike. :p (Which is why you should make Ike as strong as possible, however in Path of Radiance they made it so that you can just skip the entire fight probably so that you don't get stuck if your Ike is too weak.) In fact the black knight is so strong that thanks to his ability Eclipse he can one shot any unit in the series with it.(Not counting Anankos because each part acts as a separate unit.)

Anyway my choice for worst class for me to use is: Snipers/Bow users before fates. The only sniper I even found really good before fates was Shinon, but that was about it, everyone else was okay-terrible. The only use they have is taking out mounted units and picking off weakened units, otherwise if you want some extra range just use a magic user. I never really use them unless I just need to fill in room for my army.


Worst to face against: I have to agree with you and say Heroes. There's a reason why that after the GBA games they made Ike the only Hero.(And even then he's pretty much the strongest lord.) You have to go out of your way to make a bad mercenary/hero in fact, the class is just that good. So the same applies to enemy heroes(and even mercenaries early game), ESPECIALLY when they're a boss one. They're also the best users of axes in the GBA games especially. And Hector is basically like a great combination of Hero and General. The Black Knight who I mentioned earlier is similar, though his class is General/Marshall.(But Hector's class outside of Great Lord is basically General too.)

The only thing killing it for me is Mega Man's face.


Put a paper bag over it and it looks fine though. :p

I'm bored, someone tell me what FE game I should replay.(As long as it's not a NES one because NES games tend to give me a headache.) The problem is I can't make up my mind. :p

FE3

FE3 is always the correct choice
Of course you choose the only game I haven't played aside from Thracia. :p And that includes the remake, I haven't played the remake though I have played Shadow Dragon which was eh. I just know a few things about mystery of the emblem, mainly the music which I only know of because rom hacks of the GBA games tend to use some of it's music.

Really late to the party, but I'm really excited for the Gaiden remake. Out of all the Fire emblem games, I feel that Gaiden was the one that needed a remake the most largely due to its extremely its outdated graphics, sound direction, and UI, in addition to cryptic BS that plagued a majority of NES games. I think this game will end up being pretty good and better than the remake of Shadow Dragon since more of Gaiden's mechanics are up to date with the current installments of Fire emblem (things like branching promotion, infinite weapon durability, fightable enemies in dungeons, etc.) though I am worried that this remake will maintain Gaiden's bad map design like Shadow Dragon and New Mystery did with FE1 and FE3 respectively.

Mega Man looks a little better than the promo for sure. But like you said, a little off. If they made the torso and legs cyan, it'd be better. Fire Man is pretty good though. Not sure why his eyes are brown when he's "normal", but whatever.

I spent too much time on this.
Well, I'm sure we appreciate the effort.

Since I have nothing to do now, I feel like share something here.

So, I have today played ALOT of Resident Evil 5, and for a good reason.

Me and my sister have finished the game yesterday, and thus, we unlocked the infinte ammo....

BUT!...the twist is that, to get the infinite ammo for one weapon, you need first to upgrade that weapon at it's fullest. Then you have to buy the infinite ammo with points, lot's of points.

As of now, we have - not counting the bonus weapon like the Gatling Gun or the Bow that come with infinite weapon the moment you buy them - we have 3 weapons with infinite ammo: the first handgun, shot gun and submachine gun you get in the game.

Yeah, it doesn't sound very great, but I can assure you, it help ALOT!

So, my next goal is to get the infinite ammo for weapons that hit hard. (like the magnum) So that our journey will be easier on harder difficulty.

Man, what a game.

And this shocked 1%of the world
1% of the world sounds tiny until you realise that still some 70 million people. :p

Although yeah, it isn't surprising.

---------------------------

And PokéSun update. I just reached Ula'ula Island.

Current team is Tirtouga, Beltigre Incineroar, Tsareena, Ribombee, Shellgon and Toucannon. (Yeah, I decided to box Pelipper. I wanted more type spread.)

Hau is by far my favourite rival though. I really like his cheerful and energetic nature, not to mention his awesome battle theme that suits his personality very well.

When Smash Switch comes out then it'll be a must buy.

Fire Emblem Warriors, ARMS and Mario Oddesey ain't enough.

We mentioned how dumb Bow units in FE can be, but is there a class you always hate seeing? I personally am not a fan of Knights, they can't move, usually have **** growths, usually have difficulty killing enemies and their only saving grace is lots of Defence. Oops, here comes a mage! Other than Oswin, knights have always been crap from my experience
Enemy sword users. I dread their random crits and they almost never miss. And a lot units can't stand against them either.

Just posting my wants list for upcoming confirmed titles...not restricted to just the Switch...

Definites
Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Super Mario Odyssey

Maybes
Fire Emblem Warriors
Arms
Skyrim
Splatoon 2

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Fire Emblem Echoes... And that's it for me.

I don't plan to get a Switch any time soon.

"Tirtouga expects you to come up with a great strategy"

Sorry to disappoint you. Outside of type matchups and STAB, I don't know much. >_> :p

Though it's pretty incredible that they can overcome status effects on their own at times. Or avoid an attack when the player character shouts at the right time.
Reminds of anime-style comebacks.

I have no such thing as a want list, because I probably won't get the switch due to money issues, especially since I'll be inc olege soon.....

Whatever happened to the Pokemon Bank update anyway? Wasn't it supposed to come out this month? (I mean, there is still about a week and a bit left but still)

Haven't they announced anything yet in regards to that?

Who knows? :3
Somehow, I am not even sure I can wait until E3 for Smash Switch (or a port) to be announced. I'd rather the games be teased at the very least as I've said before to know that something is coming and then have them talk more about it at E3. However, there are three saving graces for the time being. One, the three remaining Smash Amiibo (Cloud, Anime Dragon Corrin, and Bayonetta) have yet to be released. Alongside that, there's also that dutch retailer who put up a Smash Bros. title. Finally, there's the possible hint from Reggie about a new game.

In terms of when I'd like to see this teaser, I am favoring in the weeks leading up to the Switch's release.

I've taken every precaution to a resetting console.

So I know for a damn fact this GTA 5 game is the cause for these restarts. Its the only game that does it.

So I'm either gonna see if updating it fixes the problem. Else I'm returning it.

Why is there no dual audio in BotW? It seems like it wouldn't take long at all to have this as a feature. And I'm sure the extra voices and text would have fit on the game card... At the very least, I want there to be an option to download ones you want as a sort of free dlc update.

My Nintendo wants (assuming I do get the switch)
  • Fire Emblem Warriors
  • Fire Emblem 2018
  • Fire Emblem Heroes
  • Breath of the Wild
  • Dragon Quest XI
Maybe's
  • Pikmin 3DS
  • Mario Odyssey
  • Splatoon 2
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2
  • Dragon Quest Heroes I.II
  • Rayman Legends Definitive Edition
  • Arms
  • Yooka Laylee (dunno if for Switch or Steam yet)

It's not necessarily a case of space, but rights. Nintendo isn't willing to pay all those actors as BotW has like 10 dubs. Having them all available in the same package COULD be a nightmare, but I don't know about hardware. What I DO know is that you'd need to pay royalties for all the other languages

Ah right that makes sense.
Still, wish they could at least have done it with Japanese. :/. Still will be a amazing game playing in English.
