The Dream Is Dead...for now atleast.

Beside that, REX LOOK SO FREAKIN' COOL IN THIS OUTFIT, GOD (or rather, architect), PUT THAT OUTFIT IN SMASH.

Also, Hooded Pyra look so cute. We need her as an alternate costume.

I mean, is it that much different that Firesweep Lances and Swords?

 

[redfeatherraven]

How do you even get so many 5 stars?

Frankly?

Money. I purchased an exorbitant amount of orbs, and I burnt the lot in offering.

I don't know if you'd call me a whale, but I'm definitely a dolphin.

In specific, I love Dragon Emblem. So dropping cash on this, where I could pull on anything but colorless, was a modest ROI. But in general, the idea was to only purchase orbs until I caught up though, and my Arena record suggests that I have.

Since Grima's the unit I lean on the most, I'll probably snipe greens off the dragon banner with the free 20 and anything else I can scrounge up in the next 6 days, see if I can pick up another. But I don't see myself spending any more cash for a while.

Well, Hinoka can be used for hone fliers support, so she can have that use at least. And even then, her attack and speed hasn't been touched, so she can still be useful. And I'd say that Chrom is pretty good, he's going to be slow, but with fury he can reach 40 defense unboosted. Add to that horse buffs and the falchion bonus and there you have it, a tanking machine. And even if he had bad IV's, he has sword valor, which makes him useful to train other sword units.

Neither are hopeless by any stretch, but they're competing with other units unless I double up on colors in my Horse and Flier teams.

Which I might. Hinoka and Morgan would work reasonably well together, and Sigurd can tank the mages that Chrom can't.

Little lame, but 32 DEF isn't straight terrible and the +HP should at least help bring some bulk back.

What was your previous Grima again?

Nah.

Just more of the one.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Little lame, but 32 DEF isn't straight terrible and the +HP should at least help bring some bulk back.

What was your previous Grima again?

I had three Grimas and ended up choosing the -Atk/+Def due to the potential tankiness and the fact that 53 Atk was still pretty goddamn good.

So using him as my main merge source would cost me 6 Def.

Decided to compare the stats I'd get between the two I have with all the merges.

Current (merged with new): 50 HP / 54 Atk / 25 Spd / 39 Def / 28 Res

New (merged with current): 53 HP / 57 Atk / 25 Spd / 33 Def / 28 Res

That should help visualize which one would be the best option for a +3 Grima.

Also, take in mind my Grima has a Close Def 3 seal. Decided to go that way since Expiration affects only ranged units, so I wanted something for the close units.

 

[Deleted member]

I mean, is it that much different that Firesweep Lances and Swords?

Yes because they're ranged. Reinhardt isn't OP because he has a Brave weapon on a horse. He's OP because he has a Brave RANGED weapon on a horse

Oh **** yeah top one wins by a mile. Right call, man.

Hope some of my sniping pays off and I can join you in the +3 Grima Club.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I think the OPness of Reinhardt comes more from three different factors;

• Dire Thunder is a Brave tome, meaning it targets Res instead of Def. Considering how many meta threats have lower Res than Def, this gives Reinhardt the opportunity to dish out a lot of damage against some of the strongest units.
• His speed is so low than the drawback of a Brave weapon is inexistant. As proof of this, Blue Olwen also comes with Dire Thunder and she's not nearly as powerful as Reinhardt with it due to both the lower attack and the fact that her speed is actually decent, so having her default tome hurts that.
• The fact that he's a horse mage because Emblem buffs.

Oh **** yeah top one wins by a mile. Right call, man.

That's what I thought too.

54 Atk is still really damn good, which is why I'm not mad at him being -Atk.

The main reason is still the absurd range with two guaranteed attacks that generally result in death. Brave Lyn with a Brave Bow just isn't as dangerous because she doesn't have as much Atk.
A Red Brave Bow would be an absolute nightmare when paired with the Reinhardt.

Meanwhile, German Reinhardt(that's what I'm calling the new one) only has 1 Rng which means Mages and Archers can get in easily and chip away even if they can't ORKO him.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yokai Watch 4 confirmed for Switch.

Paging BluePikmin11 . Paging BluePikmin11

Not surprised about that, but what I am surprised about is how early a mainline title is and how Level-5 seems to quickly transition into the new platform.

Level-5 is an amazing third-party company for sure. Hopefully, the direction changes in a way that it could appeal to a global audience, especially the U.S. audience.

DC isn't optimal when he should be running his default(bless IS for the maymays) Death Blow.
Even if his German Master Sword works on enemy phase, that's not how anyone will ever use Brave weapons because the goal is to kill everything before they can touch you.

I'm so used to Enemy Phase strats by this point I wouldn't know what to do with a Brave weapon.

I'm just imagining how to make him more terrifying to see in an enemy's Arena team.

I figure that the first collection is a must-have, though I might download it if it doesn't take up much space.

I still have a lot of mixed feelings towards how they're handling this, but at the very least, there seems to be a lot more effort put into these sets than the Classic Collections. I like that they're doing slight face lifts for each of the games and I'm curious to see all of the products they'll include. The Classic Collection really surprised me by having pictures of the Capcom published version of the NA Mega Man 6.

[BluePikmin11]

The new Professor Layton anime was pretty good with Episode 1. It is kinda like a friendlier version of Detective Conan, interesting mysteries with episodic storytelling. I enjoy how energetic Katrielle is in the anime compared to the games. It is not really amazing, but definitely a good time. I could do without the fourth-wall breaking, but I can understand somewhat given the demographic of this anime. Maybe there will be an anime adaptation of the seven original Layton games one day. I am crossing my fingers that this anime helps boosts the sales of Layton's Mystery Journey so that more animated Layton content can be made in the future, much like with Yo-kai Watch.

I figure that the first collection is a must-have, though I might download it if it doesn't take up much space.

X1 - Arguably the best Mega Man game.
X2 - Not as good as X1, but still a lot of fun. Doesn't do much of anything new.
X3 - About on par with X2. Adds more but is a lot harder.
X4 - The best 32 bit Mega Man game and one of the best in the entire series.

X5 - Not bad, but a step down from X4 in terms of overall design. The multiple endings make the plot confusing. It might be worth a playthrough.
X6 - Possibly the worst official 2D Mega Man game and it further messes up the plot. Lots of bad design choices.
X7 - Possibly the Sonic 06 of the Mega Man franchise, though I've heard many prefer it to X6. Lots of bugs, bad VAs, and load times. Plus you have to unlock X as a playable character.
X8 - A huge step in the right direction and is worth a playthrough. 6 playable characters, tag team attacks, item shop, etc.

Based on the extras & X8, your money will probably be better spent on this rather than the PS2/GC collection. You'll only be missing out on the 32 bit version of X3 and not having to import Battle & Chase. Plus the GC version has an awkward control scheme and questionable emulation.
