Recently did a Path of Radiance, and a Radiant Dawn run. Playing Super Metroid currently though! :samus:

Seems like we all love us some Fire Emblem. Which is quite possibly why our debates for this specific series are so heated. :laugh:

What where your best characters in your playthroughs?

In PoR, I used:
Ike, Soren, Boyd, Oscar, Nasir, Mia, Zihark, Nephenee, Ellincia. Didn't raise too many characters, but the first 3 pretty much got ALL their stats maxed. Boyd especially on the earlier levels was UNSTOPABLE. He even had more Speed than Strenght at some point, I had to seriously hold him back lol (wish that also was the case in RD).

In RD, I used:
Ike, Soren (A supports), Boyd, Haar, Nephenee (though I also wanted to use Devdan- but his strenght sucked :c ), Shinon (he's BOSS), Caineghis, Kurtnaga (with Blossom + Paragon), underleveled Sothe and Micaiah (Sanaki was a higher level than them, wanted to try her out), Mia and Ellincia.

Haar was seriously Speed screwed, but he always ends up being irreplaceable. Tried my best raising Callil, Zihark, Jill, Ranulf, but all turned out not so awesome. Sothe had serious good stats, and I pretty much used him all my playthrough untill the later chapters in Part 4. So I feel kinda had I didn't use him so much. Had a bad time raising Boyd, can't stand his base stats. Why is he so slow? His strenght and durability also don't really make up for it, and I don't like RD Oscar. Titania was also raised, but couldn't stand her low HP (also, why the hell did she use swords instead of lances as a second weapon??).

Wanna do a FE4 playthrough soon. Afterwards, FE5 will follow.

And I remember I have an unfinished Sacred Stones file around, but I really dislike Eirika, so am not quite as motivated to finish the game. Seth, however, makes up for it. He's pretty much modern day Sigurd. :rolleyes:

OMG I remembered hating PoR. I was never able to do the triangle attack with Oscar, Rolf and Boyd. 3rd attempt and i was like:

Oh heeeellll no! This is some BULL-5HIT! I'm just gonna finish the game.

All need to use Bows though. lol

Which sucks, cause I wanna use Axes with Oscar.

Also never really had the patience of raising Rolf, but when I did, he was somewhat good. In Radiant Dawn, I usually level him to but always pick Shinon in the end, cause he likes dodging more, and what he lacks in Strenght, BEXP makes up for it. :reverse:

My Faves are Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Mario. I main characters from those games, though in FE's case it was Smash that introduced me to the characters.

EDIT: Dammit, forgot Kirby. <3 me some Kirby.

Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, Zelda and Metroid might've been it for me. Loved Pokemon a lot before Gen 4 came as well, and maybe Mario to. Also played both EarthBound and Mother 3, so maybe I'm a Mother fan to? Dunno. Haven't played a lot of Zeldas and Metroids though (especially Metroid, couldn't even finish Prime 1). So yeah, maybe nowadays you could call me at best a Donkey Kong and Fire Emblem fan. Zelda and Metroid come next, then probably Mother, Mario and Pokemon.

Pokemon and Kirby are my fav franchises in Smash already but that doesn't really effect who i play as. my mains in Brawl are Marth, Toon Link, and Olimar with Samus and PKMN Trainer up there as well. and in Melee it was Sheik and Marth

I hated that I couldn't play my favorite characters effectively in Melee, namely DK and Mewtwo. So recently I switched sides, and took on Ganondorf, Sheik and Marth. Can also play some Link, Samus, and Jigglypuff though. But most effectively would be DK, Ganondorf and Sheik. Learning Marth though.

Am VERY happy that my main in Brawl is so overpowered, and my favorite game character ever though. :awesome: Still, also play DK and Ike occasionally, as well as Ness, Samus and Link.

N64 had Pikachu at the time, and I thought he played awesome, so I always picked him. Heard from peeps I have a wicked DK though. Which is something that always makes me happy.

Pokemon, Red was my first game ever. Zelda, Lttp was my first console game. Kid Icarus, simply because it's still fresh in my mind. I sorta of pick my mains from those. I do like PT, TL, and Pit in Brawl, but those were more coincidences then conscious descisions.

while i like the Kirby series, I'm not very good with the characters in Smash. Pokemon characters im just ok with. Pikachu is probably the one im most comfortable with. i just more or less try everyone out and then decide who i'm most comfortable with.

Someone asked if anyone mained the characters from his/her favorite Nintendo franchise

Anyways for me it's true, I really enjoyed playing as Luigi in the N64 days (in MarioKart 64 specifically), and when I got Smash 64 I used him always. Sometimes using Yoshi and Captain Falcon because they were fun to use. Smash 64 introduced me to Ness, Smash leaded me to play Mother 1, 2 and 3. Then Lucas was confirmed for Brawl and I mained him and Luigi. Also I really liked Pikmin and I use Olimar sometimes in Brawl

Favorite franchises, eh?

Zelda, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus and Pokémon. Not counting Smash, obviously. =P

Besides those four, I also like the Pikmin and the Wario Land series.

Man, I don't know about you guys, but to me the smash series is much more than just a trilogy of games! I have so many fond memories of play all the entries with friends! I mean this whole website is based on a mere 3 games!!! That's some impact you've made Sakurai

Some of favorite franchises:

Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, F-Zero, Star Fox, Wave Race and Smash Bros

Xenoblade is also very awesome

Starting to get in Sin & Punishment and Golden Sun, need to get more into Advance Wars. Other franchises I like too (such as Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Punchout), I am basically into most things Nintendo.

I have been paying attention to everything around here and this place has officially hit rock bottom. Seriously I knew the news drought is bad, but I think we can at least keep our sanity for a little longer.

There's basically nothing to discuss right now, so yeah, I brought up the awesomeness of Blastoise, and Impa, and pitted them against teach other. How you been though bro?

Sheik vs Charizard would never be as awesome as Impa vs Blastoise. Heck, if there was a possibility, I'd do Sheik & Charizard vs Impa & Blastoise. But I doubt soceity is ready for something as awesome as that though.

Same here man. Good to know though.

You should've been there a couple of pages back, it was all about Blastoise back there. Basically everyone agreed he would be the best thing ever. And yeah, after Mewtwo, Blastoise should be in so we can finally settle Charizard vs Blastoise in proper fashion. As stated before: Pokemon mechanics alone aren't enough for this clash of giants.

Thanks btw Phazon, doing my best to keep us (and myself :awesome: ) entertained till Smash gets some information we can actually discuss.

Well for one, I'm not a sucker for nostalgia pandering. I know that Gen 1 is absolutely broken with incredibly lame game design and crippling game balance, and I'm not afraid to express it.

Blastoise in particular is inferior to a lot of water types out there and has extremely few things to brag about. The only niche it can carve out is Rapid Spin + Foresight, which in itself is not enough to cement it as an amazing water type. In fact without Rapid Spin, it's pretty much one of the most painfully average water types out there.
