You're my new favorite user now.

I wasn't before?

You've been doing Smashboards wrong, my friend.

I've actually thought about this before, but Fire Emblem, to me at least, doesn't have many characters well suited for the Death Battle format, which takes tangible feats into account and uses real world mathematical application to determine outcomes. This mainly stems from the fact that the vast majority of characters, despite the multitude that exist, are badass normals with little to no confirmed feats. Even the main lords who've killed dragons, gods, or dragon gods mainly did so because their weapons were specifically made to kill that exact being, and not necessarily anything else. Up until relatively recently the games didn't have full-on cutscenes (save only the 3DS and Tellius games) so there wasn't really any visual feat confirmation in the other ten games, or at least not as many that couldn't be written off as "Sprite logic" or similar things.

And even then they don't add a whole lot. Most of the cutscenes aren't full-on fights, and some that are don't showcase the characters doing anything too crazy. Lucina in the Bad Future cutscene didn't do anything too extreme, Alm vs Rudolf was a dream, Celica was

possessed

...

And not to mention their defensive feats are non-existent, since the only cutscenes that show them being struck actually hinder their feats. Looking at you, Chrom, Elise, and Celica. This is especially true when considering me being struck during gameplay is likely just a case of gameplay and story segregation.

So with that said, I could really only see the following as more high-tier picks.

Robin and Celica - Both can utilize lightning and fire due to their magic, which are more tangible and measurable than things like holy light and razor wind, which are much more abstract and harder to calculate for. However, both are disadvantaged a bit since Robin would rely on his tomes (all of which could break, unless they specifically go for his Fates incarnation, though that only applies to Thoron...or unless they give him max Grandmaster stats, Limit Breaker, and Armsthrift, but those aren't canon) and could have them knocked away, while Celica casts from her own health, making her unencumbered, but more squishy.

Roy - Fire is a measurable thing. Might be hindered by lack of true feats by virtue of The Binding Blade's sprite based combat.

Ryoma - Lightning is a measurable thing, unlike Xander's "sword that uses the power of darkness" Siegfried. You could likely calculate his speed and strength from cutscene logic, making him doable.

Chrom and Lucina - Not many feats on their own, but both leaped into the air about three times their body height in the Dual Falchions cutscene, which has to count for something. Also Chrom broke through a stone wall during training, but that doesn't have as much context to go off of.

Corrin - By virtue of versatility due to her draconic powers. They might be able to pull from that.

I haven't played the Tellius games because they're so hard to find, but Ike also gets mentioned a lot, from what I've seen. I can't weigh in too much though.


tl;dr: Fire Emblem, in my opinion, doesn't lend itself well to Who Would Win/Death Battle types of things due to the nature of the series focusing on badass normals strategically striking foes, and most don't have super powers to back them up, or impressive feats that can be used as a basis of measurement, save for the few I mentioned.

Just my take on it.

They may end up taking the other kinds of skills, like luna, lethality, Sol, Astra, and other things like that...

Eh.

We aren't missing much.

As Swamp typed that opinion, he heard a screech behind him. As he turned he saw two red eyes state at him. The creature jumped at Swamp's throat as he screamed to the heavens.

On second thought...

Sumia pls

"Iluminati likes this"
Lmao, this is only more fitting:

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Looks like a pegasus to me.

The breasts are the eyes and the part under looks like a beak to me

Plus with the swirl design on the eye breasts it makes it look like an owl's "horns"

How long did you stare at her chest to notice this?

 

[Deleted member]

I can't believe lewd stuff is being talked about and I'm not around. That's just ridiculous.


Especially when it's about men. That Frederick artwork...

 

[A Distant Demon]

So in the past 4 days i've done a workout 3 times, with the one day i didn't only because I was sore from the first two. 3 more times than normal. Been doing extra reps and higher weights than usual to make sure I get some decent work on as the pasty weakling I am.


And the reason for having motivation is ****ing anime.

I dont know if that's sad or great, all I know is My Hero Academia is making me healthier, plus utlra

 

[praline]

Man now I feel like turning my kart racer into a Pokemon kart racer. lol

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

That Frederick artwork...

Its alright but Its no Niles or Jakob

 

[Deleted member]

True, but I think some of the hunkier men deserve their shot too. They're rather underused.

 

[mario123007]

Yeah it's pretty crazy we're getting new Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Metroid, Splatoon, Star Fox, Kirby, Xenoblade, Pikmin and Fire Emblem games in the same year. As well as a few new IPs.

Round up for the series coming to the Nintendo platforms this year:
Switch: Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Splatoon, Xenoblade and Fire Emblem
3DS: Pokemon, Metroid, Pikmin, Kirby and Fire Emblem
Retro console: Star Fox

So the Japanese list of games is up.
The exclusive ones are:

• The Legend of Mystical Ninja
• Super Soccer
• Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
• Panel de Pon

Meanwhile it's missing

• Earthbound
• Kirby's Dream Course
• Super Castlevania IV
• Super Punch-Out

The Japanese exclusives don't surprise me, but the lack of Earthbound sure does.

Also their box looks better, as usual.

Me and my brothers might be a bit sad that Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War isn't on the Super Famicom Mini. It was the first Fire Emblem game we played. We found it in a yard sale along with the Super Famicom and other games.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Thought it over and decided to take the plunge on the Splatoon 2 Pro Controller.

Good on ya.

Feel like it was the correct call.

It's about buttsex, you puritans.

And in other reasons Swamp is my hero today...

The breasts are the eyes and the part under looks like a beak to me

Plus with the swirl design on the eye breasts it makes it look like an owl's "horns"

So.

What you're saying.

Is Sumia has a pair of -

So I just got to sit down and watch the first part of the Izombie season finale from last week

and....

HOLY **** I did not expect that ending. How are they following that up? That's an insane ending.

 

[Knight Dude]

I was kind of hoping Mega Man X2 would also be in that SNES collection. But Star Fox 2 is a big deal.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

What's wrong with a Vegan Diet?

Vegan diets don't consider that children are still growing and need proteins, not to mention the diets don't have good substitutes. Hell, it's not even possible to give a dog a vegan diet for example, as their digestive systems NEED meat

There's a summer event for FE Heroes involving Frederick, Gaius, Tiki and female Robin coming.

WHAT?! ANOTHER ONE?!?!?! SO SOON?!

Had to use MaG cause this laptop's print/screencapture button don't work.
And it's possibly in the month where I'll be working and away from the Internet for 2/3 of the month....I don't want to miss it!!!!!Why?!?!?!?!?!

 

[FalKoopa]

More seasons = More orbs

And more artwork. Win win.

Aren't links only Orange on SB Dark though?

True.

Too bad I can't play FE: H because my phone has no space.

The artwork is great though.

Whoevevr puts a dog on a vegan diet is an asshole and a dumbass and need to get a butt kicking

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Not justa butt kicking.
Jailtime too

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Not justa butt kicking.

Well Taking a pet away from a person can feel like jail. So I say take their dogs away from them

 

[Blargg888]

>looks down to see what was stepped on

You stepped on Professor Pumpkaboo 's avatar?

You should apologize.

I'm using the dark red theme. So I didn't think about that.

If you force a vegan diet on a pet, you deserve much worse than just losing a pet considering you try to fight a dog's biology

Downloading a couple more demos on the 3DS....

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity...haven't played any mystery dungeon games so let's see what the fuss is all about...and the other demo is Rayman Origins, one again never played any Rayman games so might as well give this free demo a try...

My OG 3DS is pretty much a demo machine at this point...and there's plenty of demos to try out for the time being...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity.

Dont buy this game. Get Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon instead. Its way better

And now, have a ****post before I go to bed

Gates to Infinity is probably the worst PMD game. The Explorers Games, Rescue Team Games, and Super are all better.
