Who the hell am I?... and is he a cool character?
You're Inigo from FE Awakening. He's a womanizer with a dancer for a mother and a tragic past. He is one of the most popular Awakening characters, so I guess he's cool. I mean, I like him. His class is a Mercenary; they carry around big swords.

At least I got that cool Marth nendoroid. Screw it, I'm probably throwing it back on once April Fools is over and the rest of my account is fixed.

I'll post again once I can have a good Fire Emblem lord in my mains again LOL.
Edit: All is well. I got Roy and Robin, so two of them. No complaints.

Dude. I seriously want the staff to give us the option of turning Smashboards into Emblem Boards as like an option or something. This is so hilarious. Makes the inner FE nerd in me happy.

The funny thing about Smash Bros is that all of my favorite series have been accused of having too many reps. Kirby, Mario, Pokemon, and now Fire Emblem. I must be lucky that my favorite franchises get this much love in the character department :p

Anywhoo, I'm getting close to finished with my Eliwood plush:

I KINDA don't like how the face looks, but I think the outfit and all is fine. All I need to do is add a cape, shoulder pads, and detail to the boots and I'm finished. I'm also gonna see if I can trim some of the access parts of his robe, so it could fit around his body more.

Hey guys I got a question

Would it better to have the c stick set to tilts or smash for Roy?

I just really want to try and improve my Roy play and want to find ways I can do that. Like, if I set it to tilts, will it make doing attacks off Perfect Pivot easier?

Cstick on attack gives you access to pp dtilt, which is amazing as a spacing option and to make it difficult for certain characters/players to approach, and you open up pp utilt as a kill option to better space its weird hitboxes. With ftilt, you can already pivot it, so pp ftilt isn't much of an addition.

I still use smashes with my cstick instead because I feel like they benefit me more as a player. I feel like one of Roy's most needed things from seeing sets and my own gameplay is closing out stocks better, and I feel smashes are best for that as a cstick option because I do things like use usmash for tech chasing and spacing fsmash in certain occasions. I like how easy it is to utilize frame 6 dsmash with the cstick, even if I'm not the biggest fan of how weak the initial swing often is. I still get what I need out of pp jab, pp shield, and just moving back a bit to do whatever.
I play default controls, so I never need to set tags :p

I've always been off-and-on about investing in pp tilts and that control scheme, and I'm still questioning heavily if I want to invest in bidou or not.

After the 9th and 10th is when I'll sit down with control schemes and what I still need to learn fundamentally and Roy-wise, then probably make a decision. The biggest barrier for me learning bidou is how fickle the cstick already is online, I wouldn't mind investing otherwise. Most likely I'll stick with default controls as always, but learning bidou despite potential frustration with it randomly not working online is still really, really tempting....

Yeah, I was wondering what the advantages are. I'm curious, can you still perform pp Dtilt and pp Utilt without the Cstick set to tilts.

Yeah, I have the same feeling. I think it's better for Roy if he has his Cstick set to Smash attacks.

Though I still need to master PP and Extended Dash Dancing, so I cause I will have to wait to see if my opinion changes.

Oh, I can't play with Tap jump on at all, so I have a tag always.

Unfortunately, you can but with the tradeoff of either carpal tunnel or arthritis :/ you have to move your left thumb left, then right, then down in pretty much an instant, with zero leniency. My thumb can't move fast enough to make that as good as cstick tilt and it hurts without a control scheme for it, so I just don't bother with the option when I have cstick smash. That's why I only bother with pp outside of tilts with my control scheme.

EDD is something you can learn on any control scheme, so imo that should be a priority over pp'ing.

True true. I mean, I can still get a lot out of PP jab i reckon. And if I feel like it, I can easily learn to adjust my play style with tilts to Cstick.

Yeah, I mean, I can Fox trot mostly and can perform EDD once. My problem continue it and maintain it after doing it once.

You should practice doing it a certain amount of times in a row. Do EDD to change direction 5 times in a row, start over if you fail. Then pp five times in a row, start over if you fail. Mix in some other movement options or narrow it to EDD if you'd like. After you get 5 of all of them in a row, move to 10. Increase numbers until it's something you get pretty much every time, then just practice each in the lab a bit each day or a few times a week.

Thanks!
Probably the best piece of advice i can get. I guess my problem is that I'm really impatient, so if I can't get something down, a can often just stop trying.
Bad habit, i know.

Has anyone seen any Eliwoods or Lewyns/Levins?
Nope.

I think the only characters that got avatars are as follows:
Micaiah
Edward
Leonardo
Corrin M/F
Robin M/F
Roy x 3
Marth x 2?
Lucia
Ephraim
Legault
Igrene
Raven
Ike
Lucina
Owain
Odin
Inigo
Cynthia
Tharja
Rhajat
Kagero
Selkie
Cordelia
Chrom (Maybe)
Gaius
Matthew
Donnel
Olivia

and that's all I've seen for like the past few threads I've been on. If I haven't seen an Eliwood or Lewyn then, then they probably don't exist at this point. :X

Being the curious idiot I am, I stumbled across the Competitive boards once again. There was Roy discussion but like always it was discussion on his weaknesses. I found a new "weakness" for him, and apparently it's his disadvantage state? I know you guys are sick of hearing this, but is his disadvantage state really that bad? How can you fix his disadvantage state? Bleh, I'm a noob. I can't help but to be curious about these sort of things. Competitive discussion is like a light and I'm the moth. I become attracted to it and get zapped, falling to my doom.

I am yet to see Corrin. Or Robin

Here's what I do have to say. Roy does have weakness and yes maybe they have lead too his "Disadvantage State" but you know what?

Name me 1 character who doesn't have a ****ing weakness?!

Really bugs me now how much people see to emphasis on Roy's weakness and no one else!!!!

Devil's Advocate here:

Yes, every character has a weakness. For example, Sheik has a hard time getting kills, and Cloud has an awful recovery. However, despite some of these flaws, their strengths are so big, that they are easily capable of covering such weaknesses.
