All right, Fjorm it is. :p
I might not use Est for a while after that.
The thing to keep in mind with the tier lists is that they assume each character has their best skills, no matter what needs to be foddered, even if the skill is exceedingly rare. As such, it's not as reliable for a newcomer.

Take Virion, for example. His base kit is atrocious, but he's honestly a solid unit if you put the right skills on him. Mine has S Support with Fjorm, a Water Blessing, is a five star plus four merge, and has a speed refined Clarisse's Bow+, Reposition, Moonbow, Lancebreaker 3, Panic Ploy, and an HP+5 Seal and HP+5 A-Skill to push his HP to absurd levels, ensuring Panic Ploy procs often.

...But that's also a hilariously expensive build and definitely not newcomer friendly.

Yeah about Lara Croft, she has the distinct problem that her gameplay use realistic firearms, Snake was able to get away with explosives and people already covered Bayonetta. And seeing as it seems Sakurai wants Smash to have an E10 rating, Lara will always hit the realistic firearms rule.

However, not all of Lara's gameplay uses her guns, does it? So she does actually have an easy work around, it just depends on how much Sakurai needs to remove her firearms.

Now Jill Valentine on the other hand, she'd have a much harder time, I know Resident Evil doesn't use only stuff like hand guns and stuff that can bought in gun stores, but RE hits the problem of its guns actually being pretty important to the gameplay, where Lara can get away with losing her hand guns I'm sure.
Yeah, now that big deal is her having the bow and arrow in the newer games, they could mess around with that. She's also got that climbing axe now. Though, like a lot of characters, it'd probably be better to use the classic version a lot of people grew up with. I tend to associate Lara Croft with the double pistols and the DJ Jazzy Jeff shades.

Outside the guns, she has things like a grappling hook, grenades/grenade launchers, and in one game, she had this stomp attack. There's also some melee combat to use for her normal attacks. Since Snake could use things like that, it should be fine for her, not that Lara would be top of 3rd parties I'd want, she's more towards the middle.

Bit late to the party, but uh... mains in fighting games.
Typically I tend to play with most of the cast to some degree, but generally I tend to prefer Zoners. Preferably characters that have more than one projectile like Toon Link from Smash, or like Arthur is my anchor in MvC.

Typically I also go speed over power as well. Which usually is a thing with zoning characters.

I myself have a preference for the bulky archetypes. Grapplers are pretty much my favorite class in fighting games.

Oh, that is interesting to point out. :p
Tier Lists are not always reliable, but I use them a lot.
I heard Zelgius is really solid in FEH.

I found something kind of cool. It's the Maximum Carnage Streets of New York stage done in the Mega Man X2 style.

I've tried maining grapplers before, but they just don't click with me.
I'm one of those who like to approach on my own time, rather than approach or be approached. If that makes any sense.

Since you two are very active and are good at FEH, who should I use?
Four-Star Est or Five-Star Fjorm?
I heard Est is better than Fjorm though, but Fjorm is a five-star. :p
Fjorm is great when you first get her. Fjorm already has a good amount of skills that compliment her and she can easily help you through stuff. Meanwhile, Est's skills are not good and don't compliment her. In order to make Est good, she needs heavy Skill Investment from other characters to make her good. So right now, it's best to go with Fjorm.

Anyway, can you show off your Heroes? I want to see which one can work with the Blessing you got with Fjorm.

I have a Zelgius.

Unfortunately, he's -Spd, which hurts him a lot, but still, it's so ****ing fun to play with Warp Powder that I don't even mind.

Brazen Atk/Spd would be amazing on him. Wish I could get one.

I have a hard time with playing rushdown characters in general. I'd say my playstyle is defensive overall even with characters you're supposed to play offensive with.

I'm almost never capable of utilizing set-ups to their fullest. For someone who plays a lot of fighting games I still struggle with the very concept of mind games. Opponents keep reading me like a book.

Check the stats and compare with the wiki.

Since every level up is random as to which skills it gives (but leads to the same end result anyway), only the level 1 and level 40 stats are shown.

With that said, I can already tell you that your Brave Lyn, Vanguard Ike and Fjorm are all neutral. Free units are always neutral.

Shiny summoned his brave lyn I believe so it likely doesn’t have neutral ivs.

It was still there first fighting game so it's still had a lot of pressure to make it and the two developers are from two different companies with two completely different mindsets the comparison is really just another way to say "haha Sony fails where Nintendo didn't" and i am so sick of the crap.
I assure you it's not.

Wasn't even a total failure, really. Game wasn't perfect - super moves to kill was pretty divisive, and I'm personally not a fan of it - but some people liked it.

The reason that we bring up the licensing issue is because the lack of content was one of the most often-repeated criticisms of the game. And one directly leads to the other - whether it's because someone declines a character (i.e. Spyro), can't pay for the rights (i.e. Crash), or executive meddling (i.e. Cloud).

Nintendo has the massive, massive advantage of not having to deal with almost all of that. They have a wide enough stable that they own the rights for, that requires no licensing fees or negotiations. SCE did not.

Didn't help that low sales cut even more content off it - they planned on adding Abe from Oddworld and Dart from Legend of Dragoon, amongst other things, as DLC, but cut them after sales for both the game and existing DLC didn't hit their marks.

But this is just an advantage vs. disadvantage point. And honestly, I think that PSASBR did fine, all considered.

It took risks in gameplay, which is in my opinion admirable. It brought together a roster that - considering everything they had to go through, as above - was massive and unprecedented. And it brought love to a lot of series that influenced Playstation history.

There's things I'll criticize about it, but I ain't gonna hate on it or the team who made it just because it wasn't Smash.

The level ups in between level 1 and level 40 are pseudo-random - you'll get a point here, a point there, but they all start and end at the same values based on their IVs.

So, first thing's first, for a 5*, your unit needs to be either level 1, or level 40. If it's anywhere in between, you're stuck waiting until level 40 to find out.

Second, easiest way to determine it is here:

https://www.fehkeeper.com/

That helps you track units and natures. Lot of data entry, but it'll get you the answers.

That one is always neutral natured.

This caught my attention:

First Question: The hell is being a man anyway?
An ideal that everyone should strive for, but few manage to achieve.

I mean I identify as a man, I'm fairly certain I'm comfortable with being a man. Do I need to jump more hoops? I mean I'm certainly more "effeminate" but I didn't know I had to pass a man exam. A manxam.

Second question: Because I am emotionally vulnerable, prone to cry, and worries about both my future and being isolated constantly, does that make me less of a man? Do I have my supposed man card taken away?
We are born and made imperfect, but we should strive to be as close to perfect as possible. This means recognizing and overcoming our weaknesses, rather than being complacent with them.

Being male =/= being a man. Boys are male too. And there are plenty of adult boys these days, but very few men. Growing into adulthood from puberty doesn't immediately make you man. There's a reason why many cultures have rights of passage for men. Why the "coming of age" story is such a long-lasting, inspiring, and timeless tale. Being a "man" is a title you earn, as there's a certain responsibility that comes with it. These days though, post-modernism has deconstructed the idea of what a man is supposed to be so thoroughly, that it's not only led an entire generation or two of males into confusion and disarray, but has also made absolute mockery of the concept.

Some of your characters are Level 1, so you can check the IVs on them easily. Meanwhile, any 4* or lower characters you've gotten a level for need to wait until 20, then check Unlock Potential, then look at the next stars starting stats. Brave Lyn, Ike and Fjorm are Neutral IVs, since you got them from Free stuff.

Looking at your Heroes, you have some decent characters for your Blessings. Basically, for getting Ike and Fjorm, you've gotten a Earth and Water Blessing respectively. Blessings give a boost to characters when the respective element is affecting a day(shown in the top-left corner) and when a respective Legendary Her(like Vanguard Ike and Fjorm) are on the field with them.
Blessings gives you an HP boost as well as a boost depending on the hero on the field. If Fjorm in on the field with a Water Blessed Hero, they'll get HP+3 and Speed+3. If Vanguard Ike is on the field with an Earth Blessed Hero, they get HP+3 and Attack+2.
So basically, you want to choose characters that can use the Blessing to good affect and is a good teammate for the Legendary Hero. Like you don't want to choose another Lance to go with Fjorm, since that would be 2 Lance characters and less Triangle Advantage coverage. For Ike, a Sword character wouldn't be a good choice for a Earth Blessing right now.

Okay, now for choosing Blessings for your Heroes. For one, Brave Lyn is already a good pick for a Blessing and she can appreciate both the Attack and Speed boost. However, you can only apply 1 Blessing to a Hero, so Lyn can only have either the Water Blessing or the Earth Blessing.
For your non-Lyn characters, all of your characters, except your Staff user Wrys, can use the Earth Blessing well. However, it's preferable to choose one that can go well with Ike. Anna and Hawkeye can work well, as they both have great Resistance and can deal with Blue Mages that endanger Ike. Otherwise, any other character is personal preference, although it's preferable not to use another Red to go with Ike.
For the Water Blessing, it's a bit tougher. If you don't give the Water Blessing to Lyn, Tharja and Soleil are your best picks for the Water Blessing. They both like the Speed boost as it helps them double and be doubled by enemies less. They both can also be protected by Fjorm once Fjorm gets Reposition from a Barst or Selena.

Either way, considering you're new, I suggest giving Lyn one of the Blessings. She likes either of them, so it's up to you to decide whether you want her to have more Attack or Speed. But know that the Blessings' stats won't come up if the Day(in the Top-Left corner) is not attuned to the Blessing. Might be best to do a Water Blessing as next month should be a Water month.

Fair enough, I love how Fat Princess played and really hope at some point we get her game series to come over to Nintendo.

Blessings is a whole section of the game I haven't yet fiddled with, so I'm getting some good notes here too.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Worry about, sure. A good unit with a bad IV is usually still a good unit.

But it's always advantageous to keep it in mind. Good IVs and builds are good basically wherever.

Except maybe stuff like -Atk Reinhardt.
That's still nothing to worry about when you're starting the game, IVs will matter for high tier Arena and specific strats for Infernal GHBs and BHBs.

Also, why do you have loli Medusa as your avatar?

I mainly use the Blessings for the double SP.

But I still make sure to give them a good one. Like how VaLyntine has the Water Blessing.

She's cute.

Here’s something I bet will happen in the star vs finale:
Tom will fight alongside Marco as well as everyone else in the end of the opening. However based on last weeks episode, I bet Tom tries something risky that he thinks will work and make him look better to star. This backfires and ultimately causes Marcos forces to get bodied

Blessings are pretty lame, honestly. I wouldn't worry too much about them unless you're aiming for tier 20 in the arena and need them to boost your score. The only thing I use them for is for double SP, and I give them out based on stuff not really relevant to gameplay, like personalities, stories, or the character's affinity in their original game. With the Blessed Gardens, you might want to make sure you have at least a usable team with each blessing, but even then it's not exactly a huge deal. The whole system feels pretty pointless to me, as it is now.

Likewise for boons and banes/natures/whatever people are calling them now. If you like a character enough, you can make just about anyone work. Even -atk Reinhardt can be made to work, if you explore less obvious alternative builds like Blárraven or Blárowl. At the start, I'd just focus on getting some solid teams together, and worry about that stuff later on.

I don't know... I mean I'm pretty okay with myself as it is.
I mean I can't really fix who I am. It's certainly something I've never been told was a bad thing.
Nor my multiple health problems. Including type 1 diabetes, thyroid issues, anxiety, depression... And a whole host of other things I get to check off at the Doctor's office. Which is a big part of my insecurity and emotional vulnerability. Can't change that. Also why I tend to worry about my future among other health problems. It's certainly something I acknowledge cannot be fixed about me, and will have to acknowledge there are others who are objectively better than I am.

Maybe I wasn't cut out to be what society deems as a true man. Oh well I can settle with being Sub instead. Seems like a lot less hoops.

But that's neither here nor there.

So Hori is releasing an officially licensed left Joy-Con that has a real D-pad coming to Japn in July for about $25.



But it is not without drawbacks (and some pretty bad ones): It's not wireless, no motion controls, and it ONLY works in handheld mode (and no, you can't do the Joy-Con grip)

I'm perfectly happy with what the official Joy-Con has and this just isn't worth it, especially with all its cutbacks.

To be honest I just invested in a Switch Pro Controller.
Yeah it's not the best D-Pad in the world. But at the very least I have buttons that I can press and be happy about pressing.

The Pro Controller is one of my best investments for the system. Once I got it, I NEVER went back to the Joy-Con grip.

But I still do a good bit of handheld mode.

Honestly I haven't had much issues with the left joy con buttons.

For games like Sonic Mania it worked perfect for me.

I recently shared a moveset for Isabelle in the Smash Switch thread.

Once I saw the moveset, I was in awe personally. Isabelle is probably the closest thing we will get to a fighter that is just a cute moe girl doing cute things for combat like in anime. Now I want Isabelle so ****ing bad, my want has jumped through the roof.

I should draw my own movesets for characters that people doubt have moveset potential. But honestly, outside of a Hanafuda character and Tom Nook, there is not a lot of candidates that most people are unconvinced by in moveset potential that I would personally make movesets for. Visual movesets are definitely better than written movesets though, as it gives people an easy way to picture the character in Smash.

I don't know... I mean I'm pretty okay with myself as it is.
I mean I can't really fix who I am. It's certainly something I've never been told was a bad thing.
Nor my multiple health problems. Including type 1 diabetes, thyroid issues, anxiety, depression... And a whole host of other things I get to check off at the Doctor's office. Which is a big part of my insecurity and emotional vulnerability. Can't change that. Also why I tend to worry about my future among other health problems. It's certainly something I acknowledge cannot be fixed about me, and will have to acknowledge there are others who are objectively better than I am.

Maybe I wasn't cut out to be what society deems as a true man. Oh well I can settle with being Sub instead. Seems like a lot less hoops.

But that's neither here nor there.
Well, it's a complicated question, and one not with an easy answer. People who existed well before you or I spent their entire lives trying to answer that question, and a lot of it fundamentally relates back to some of the most elusive questions there are. Such as, "why are we here" "what's the point of life" and "what's our purpose in life."

None of these are questions I can give you an answer to.

All I can tell you is that there are two general ways to approach it. You can either seek Idealism, or Nihilism. Nihilism will fundamentally lead you toward Hedonism and self-indulgence. Imo, and as someone who's experimented with both approaches, I think one should strive for idealism and virtue. Not cause it's the "correct" answer, as that's ultimately subjective, but because it's the answer that's most likely to lead you toward a satisfying and fulfilling life. You can't find long-lasting happiness in the immediate pleasures of life. And humans are complex creatures man, temporary happiness, escapism, and nihilism will ultimately lead your toward depression, and suicidal ideation.

Look toward the past if you want an answer. You're not the first to ponder this question, and you won't be the last.

Human have accomplished great things in the pursuit of Idealism. Magnificent and truly beautiful works of art have been erected in attempts to represent that ideal virtue of what a man is supposed to be:

My two cents.

Being able to even ask this question at all is something that's uniquely human. And imo, that in and of itself a beautiful thing, as it speaks of the depth and complexity that human is capable of.

Blessings is a whole section of the game I haven't yet fiddled with, so I'm getting some good notes here too.

Teamwork makes the dream work.
Yeah, Blessings aren't always the best as depending on the day and month, it changes and sometimes they are not able to be used. For example, it's Fire month right now. And unless you have L.Ephraim, fire blessings aren't going to do anything. If it's a water month next month, Fjorm is available to give bonuses.

And yeah, teamwork is big when blessings are available. And blessings can make a big difference. Like my M!Corrin loves a water blessing.
He is spd+, -res, so he has 35 spd. With a water blessing, he has 38. With Spd+3, he reaches 41. And with Yato and Swift sparrow 2, he has 49 spd when attacking. And he helps compliment Fjorm.
