Weird things that happen to me on reddit.

Yesterday it was someone randomly offering me money for one of my Rosalina mini-figures out of the blue, since they ran into one of my old reddit posts about it, even though I have no intention of selling it.

Today, people have been making little giveaways for Dissidia beta codes on r/finalfantasy. One guy would give one to the first person to guess their favourite Final Fantasy character. I casually made a guess because what are the chances I would guess the correct one out of hundreds of Final Fan- oh I guessed right and they gave me a code, neat. I have 2 now. Both are US though.

Worst comes to worst, I will make a US account and use one of them, while my US friend gets the other. If I get an EU code tomorrow or something, I'll giveaway the extra US code.

Sonic high-fiving the OC to do a super boost while Fist Bump plays is the kind of cheesiness I love from this franchise.

Spoiler: Soul Emblem Roster?

The second names are the player 2 appearance.
1. Marth
2. Ike
3. Chrom/Lucina
4. Roy/Eliwood
5. Lyn
6. Hector
7. Eirika
8. Ephraim
9. Robin/Fem Robin
10. Corrin/Boy Corrin
11. Caeda/Hinoka
12. Camilla
13. Xander
14. Ryoma
15. Takumi
16. Tharja
17. Azura
18. Celica
19. Anna
20. Tiki
21. Leo
22. Black Knight
23. Valter
24. Ashnard
25. Medeus

I could have kept going but I stopped at 25. lol

So I figured I'd map the game-to-character distribution.

Archanea: Marth, Caeda, Tiki (assuming young and not adult), Medeus
Valentia: Celica
Jugdral: N/A
Elibe: Roy, Lyn, Hector (+ Eliwood alt for Roy)
Magvel: Eirika, Ephraim, Valter
Tellius: Ike, Black Knight, Ashnard
Ylisse: Chrom, Robin, Tharja (+ Lucina alt for Chrom, and Tiki if she is an adult)
Fateslandia: Corrin, Azura, Xander, Ryoma, Takumi, Leo, Camilla (+ Hinoka alt for Caeda)
Multiple: Anna

It's honestly really jarring to see most other worlds at three to four characters and then eight for Fates on a roster of 25.

Also Tharja seems REALLY out of place since the rest are either main characters or Anna.

Hey it's a work in progress. Tharja is there cause she's popular and my fave.

Also I just noticed I forgot Alm. lol

I wanted to add all the types of classes btw and Fates has all the popular characters despite the game being a dumpster fire.

If you look at it from an angle of the worlds, it's jarring, but technically the three versions of Fates are different games, so honestly that's always gonna lead to Fates having more characters to rep.

Even then though, assuming you make it like this:

Birthright: Ryoma, Takumi, Hinoka
Conquest: Xander, Leo, Camilla
Revelation: Corrin, Azura

Then that'd mean only one Binding Blade character and zero for both Genealogy and Thracia.


I mean either way though, boiling Fire Emblem down to just 25 characters is tough.

Atleast this is more balanced than FEW...

[Deleted member]

Since we're on the subject, here's a challenge: make a roster for a FE fighting game, HOWEVER, you cannot include any main characters or main villains.
This means none of the characters who cause a Game Over if they die or plot important(Lucina, Tiki, Azura and the Fates siblings).
Main villains include the Big Bad(Nergal, Lyon, Garon, etc.) and really-important-but-still-not-the-main-threat-villains(Black Knight, Arvis, Validar, etc.).
I'm gonna post mine later

It's honestly really jarring to see most other worlds at three to four characters and then eight for Fates on a roster of 25.

Opo, we're getting a game with currently 7 Fates characters, possibly more, and none from more than half of the series.
I'd say his roster is unrealistic because it actually has sensible picks :^)

 

[Opossum]

Atleast this is more balanced than FEW...

Well I mean, honestly the three game focus is a blessing and a curse.

On one hand, less games get represented at launch. On the other hand, had they included a larger swath of games to pick from, they'd undoubtedly be full of almost only main lords, so even relatively-important-to-their-games characters like Frederick may not have gotten in, not even mentioning ones like Cordelia who have little to no plot importance.

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Let's be fair here.





...We'd get Pichu, too.

Stop trying to make the idea sound good.

I'd say the context is different. A game that was advertised from the start as only having Fateswakenadow Dragon characters having seven Fates characters is more understandable than a hypothetical 25-man roster from across the entire series having eight Fates characters. Smaller pool with an even bigger chunk of representation.


I'll post my roster in a bit, but first, is Caeda allowed? You didn't mention her in your list.

When Sonic was telling Knuckles about how he's gonna bust the place up with the Avatar, gets off the radio and says "Right, partner?", I got the biggest smile on my face. Same with all of the banter during the Double Boost.

The game has it's issues, but if nothing else, kids are going to love this. 8 year old me would go crazy playing this.

She isn't story relevant, so yes.
While characters like Marcus, Frederick, Jakob/Felicia, etc. have plot armor and appear in cutscenes, they're not main characters and as relevant to the overall plot.
Basically, it's just to get the usual picks out of the way.

 

[Mythra]

Time to watch more Pokémon Season 1 on TV again, maybe I'll be able to spot all the errors that I ignored as a kid.

*Pikachu knocks out a Marowak with Thunder Shock in the first minutes of the episode*

Well, that was easy.

Strawpoll time for Sonic Heroes

gonna play heroes after dinner, but want to know which im playing next want to end on a high note so i'll play the loser first. AKA, which has the better gameplay

http://www.strawpoll.me/13781464

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

At some point I stopped being good at drawing still designs of a character and started being good at actions pictures.

Which is weird because it used to be the opposite.

I had an idea for a comic that's so stupid it actually might work in parody.

But I realized I needed some practice drawing because I've been so stuck on writing I haven't drawn in a while

I think a lot of Dark's stages are really drawn out. Hardly terrible but when Heroes already has longer than normal levels, well...

Alright here we go, my Zero-Main-Character-by-Decidedly-Shishy-Standards roster.

Archanea: Caeda, Merric, Minerva, Camus
Valentia: Tobin, Mae, Saber
Jugdral: Lewyn
Elibe: Merlinus Lilina, Cecilia, Jaffar, Nino (Add in Ninian if you don't consider her plot crucial but dammit you should)
Magvel: Innes, Ross, xX__L00t__Xx
Tellius: Soren, Ranulf, Sanaki
Awakening: Frederick, Lissa, Virion, Cervantes
Fates: Felicia, Yukimura, Rinkah


Cervantes is the big bad of story mode, where upon defeat he reveals his true identity...

[Coricus]

Sonic Forces may be a little corny, but it has a satisfying amount of heart to it.

That gameplay is something I've missed too. It's been such a long time since I cut my teeth on a boost game, I'm increasingly getting the feeling it's gonna feel great getting back into it.

The way Sonic talks with some random guy he probably just met is just a perfect example of why he has so many friends in the first place: he sees everyone that isn't actively messing up everyone's lives as a friend. Sonic is just the most pure and legitimate bro in existence. I mean, this is the guy that saw a random guy passed out on the ground with amnesia and thought, "hey, instant friend," so it's not exactly new, but it's certainly consistent at this point.

Like, Sonic has got to be one of the best video game characters to hang out with and it's not even because he's cool. He's just incredibly nice and friendly at a level of show-don't-tell that most characters don't reach. The coolness is just a nice supplement.

Voted Team Sonic, their levels have the best pace and flow of all of the teams IMO and they're of a decent but not too overbearing length for most of the game, though the late game can be a bit lengthy even with Team Sonic for first time players.

Team Dark is mostly just Team Sonic's stages except they add more enemies and an extra section at the end, they don't often do something legit interesting to make things more challenging. The levels still aren't bad but they overstay their welcome a bit.

Probably a more honest boxart for FEW.

So, let's do this
Playstyle is listed next to the character
* means I'll elaborate at the end
This is 100% Unbiased™

Spoiler

Akaneia:
Cadea-Lance Pegasus
Jagen-Axe Cavalier
Minerva-Axe Wyvern
Xane*-Mirror Fighter
Camus-Lance Cavalier
Anna*-Multi-weapon moveset

Valentia:
Mae-Recoil Mage

*Googles "relevant but not too much Tellius characters"*
Sothe-Whatever the **** he is
One of those furries-Beaststone
That fat guy @Prince Alucard has a hard on for
Look, I didn't play Tellius, ok? I played myself with this challenge.

Awakening(it's technically Akaneia but who cares tbh):
Virion-Mounted Archer
Nowi-Dragonstone

Iago*-Ailment Dark Mage

Notes:
Xane is a traditional Mirror Fighter, he copies various moved from other characters.
Anna has every physical weapon in her moveset.
Silque is someone I want to elaborate more on: she has Nosferatu which deals small damage and is slow but can heal herself; Entrap which teleport the opponent away or near her; and Illusions which work as most of her moveset.
Lilina is the slow but powerful one while Nino is the faster one.
Both Felicia/Jakob and Kaze can debuff opponents. Also, it's "Felicia/Jakob" because I can't decide in one of them, they're not clones or costumes of one another, I'm just indecisive.
Iago can debuff, Entrap, Freeze and his ultimate is the Hex Rod. You're welcome.

DLC characters:
Wrys-Demon Mode
Wrys releases his power inhibitors and stops holding back.

Silver Sword-Silver Sword
The famous Silver Sword finally makes it's way as a playable character. It'll die in 50 hits but the opponent dies in 2. It can misteriously float in the air.

[Robert of Normandy]

So FE Warrior's roster has come up again, huh.

I'm under the assumption that we'll see a roster or between 20-30 characters at the most. Given that, I can't really say I'm too mad about the direction they chose to go with. Given that size, they realistically have two options to go with for picking who gets in:

1. Have a small number of character each from a large number of games.
2. Have a larger number of characters form a small number of games.

Either way, I think, would leave some people dissatisfied with the final result. With the current option you have people upset that their favorite game isn't represented, while the other way likely would leave a lot of people feeling the roster was a bit same-y.

Though I will admit, their communication about the reasoning for the choices hasn't exactly been stellar.

What fat guy? You haven't even completed Jugdral or Tellius? What?

 

[powerprotoman]

honestly i can see each time period getting 9 characters plus the oc characters for roughly a 30-33 roster(33 is counting skins)

for awakening we have tharja virion and the villain whomever they choose(personally id be down for aversa or walheart)

for fates well see azura and a villain plus a male corrin skin

for shadow dragon we have tikki already announced, draug, ceda, cain(with able as a skin), navare, minerva, merric and a villain


thats how see the final roster shaping up with possible a possible 34th character being the oc villain if darius isnt it

dlc pack i can see being layed out as such 1 character you get at the start (for elibe it would be roy) and 4 characters you earn by doing missions (lyn hector liliana someother not eilwood character...sue perhaps) and so on and so forth

 

[praline]

If Charlotte was in FEW that would be incredible.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yikes the most powerful character in Fusions is definitely SSJ4 Gogeta

But it's kind of hard to actually get him in battle since it requires energy to fuse and you end up having only 4 people in battle as opposed to 5

But he's strong enough to overcome that. By a lot.

Too bad he's slow

 

[Mythra]

If they wanna make FEW interesting, they just need to do a quick google search and add the popular dudes:

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Also SSB Vegito is in the game as well, and SSJ4 Gogeta is stronger than him

So, I'm going to consider that canon

No. 039: SSJ4 Gogeta
Rank: G
Type: Power
Race: Saiyan
Gender: Male
Health: 110377
Melee: 2822
Ki Blast: 2810
Defense: 2083
Luck: 20

DLC No. 007: SSB Vegito
Rank: G
Type: Speed
Race: Saiyan
Gender: Male
Health: 52257
Melee: 1752
Ki Blast: 1678
Defense: 1556
Luck: 30

The advantage of Vegito being he doesn't have to fuse in battle so you can have 5 characters while Gogeta has to fuse in battle

 

[Coricus]

If Charlotte was in FEW that would be incredible.

You know what would do it for me?

Bantu.

Equal parts out of left field and completely awesome, yep that'd do it.

Or I mean. . .Yarne just to watch him flip out, Hayato for an interesting moveset, and Percy for -reasons-.

But y'know, even just the standard Shadow Dragon stuff would be nice. Show me that and I'm game. *Caeda intensifies*

But doesn't that go against what's alrady been established?
Vegito>Gogeta

Celica may be a Priestess, but the Toyota Celica is a Paladin.


After all, look at all the horsepower.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

But doesn't that go against what's alrady been established?
Vegito>Gogeta

Gogeta SHOULD be weaker than Vegito, but has always been shown stronger when he appears.

But SSB and SSJ4 don't exist in the same continuities so I don't think THAT has ever been established

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

So, Warner Bros. is 'underwhelmed by the current script' for the Justice League Dark Movie. Meaning that the scripts it undergoing rewrites.

Justice League Dark by the way is a team that consists of Batman, John Constantine, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Dead man, and more.

Here's the real ****. The one and only Guillermo del Toro pitched the original idea to Warner Bros. in hopes he would be able to direct the movie. They decided to go ahead with his idea but not with him at the helm. Instead they hired another director before he ultimately dropped out. In other words, welcome to another DCEU **** show.
