Good matches, I’m surprised my banjo could win some. I did get some nice combos though.

Your game is on point though, especially the fludd combos. Thanks for hosting!

I'm going to make an General discussion tornament 2 later so can anyone Record footage on an switch it would be nice if it. Was videoed.

And I just beat the Blue Lions route.

Spoiler

The final battle was fun, Hegemon Edelgard wasn't as fun to fight as Rhea, but she was still a neat boss and like Rhea served as a good climax to the Blue Lions since of the antagonists in the game she's the most thematically fitting for them. I do wonder why she tried to stab Dimitri at the end, she's not shown to be that spiteful in the other routes so it's interesting that here when Dimitri is trying his best to save her that she fundamentally spits in his face like that.

As for the story, I really enjoyed Dimitri's character arc. With most of the other lords, while they endured the same trauma that he does, it's rare that the stories show how much anger and negativity it can instill in a person when you endure that type of loss. The closest I can remember would be Lyn as she hates the bandits and admits that she wants to go off and kill all of them, but it's only touched on in the Wallace support and it's concluded within it. Dimitri is the first that focuses on it in the story and gives depth to it as from the beginning it was pretty clear that there was more to that kind face that he was letting on and as the game goes on it does a pretty good job shedding that face and showing more of that darkness. Once he finally snaps it's easy to see how his character transformed into a wrathful version of himself, and that continues into the timeskip arc where he's making decisions based off of anger then what is better for him and others. His arc where he reverts back is still good, but I do feel there's a couple more holes in it. The first is that I feel that he could've used a chapter between the bridge and his epiphany moment at Gronder Field as you can tell he's starting to snap out of his wrath in the former and he does in the latter, but the in-between doesn't give him a good transition between the two. The second is that they could've done more with the stepmother plot point since it's a major revelation that she had a part in the tragedy, but it doesn't really lead to anything major since she never appears nor is what happened to her explored, so it's an odd loose end since it could've done more for the character (and Edelgard as well, but it's not her arc). Overall, it's still a good character arc and something I'd like to see more of since it plays on the typical tropes that we see in the lords.

As for the rest of the story, I do like that the secondary cast feels more connected. With the Black Eagles and Golden Deers the characters are more like people from separate backgrounds coming together, but with Blue Lions it's more like a group of friends heading off to school and it makes their dynamic interesting to see, particularly in cases like Felix where his brother's death really plays into how he interacts with Dimitri, Sylvain and Ingrid. I also liked how they were connected to the bosses as seeing Ashe's reaction to Lonato's rebellion and Sylvain's reaction to Miklan turning into the Black Beast gave it a bit more of a personal feeling since I'm seeing characters with connections reacting to what's going on in the story. In particular I feel Mercedes had the biggest once since she's related to the Death Knight, and once you get her paralogue you get to see a bit of how her brother's transformation into that villain makes her feel guilt for not coming back for him despite knowing how his father's family was no good for him. It also made the Death Knight a bit more of a character for me as he mostly coasted on cool factor, but after seeing his relationship with Mercedes I started to like him more.

All in all, it's a great route. I'm not quite sure where I'd place it as some of the loose ends like the aforementioned stepmother and TWSITD (they really don't like doing much with them after the timeskip) bug me, but it's still a good arc. As someone said earlier, it's basically a typical FE story with a twist, particularly with the focus on its lord.

Now it's the Church route, I deleted my split file by accident so I have to start from the beginning again, so I'm probably just going to go crazy with the NG+ features and break the game as much as I can.

Thanks for playing! It was a good time, especially because you were giving me a run for my money most of the time.

I think I fish for the spike too often, but it just feels so good to nail those when I do lol.

Yeah the spike was busted out a lot but I was playing banjo who has a shaky and punishable recovery if the opponent times right, so I would have done the same. It was great practice and fun. I’ll have to try and join arenas more often!

you forgot FE= the devil

 

[Knight Dude]

Been getting a lot of practice in. There's some slight improvement, but my issue is still getting color right digitally.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

All the smash day care is, is a person that refuses to eat anything that isnt american

 

[Noipoi]

When Banjo swings the home run bat Kazooie comes out with her wing over her eyes, trying to see how far he hit it.

Cute.

 

[Knight Dude]

Oh, and here's a dope track someone made.

I dunno, something about the SNES soundchips absolutely slap. I wish more indie games copied that rather than 8-Bit.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I highly expect Terry to hold onto his hat as he swings the bat

 

[PsySmasher]

Aw man. Guess I missed out on an Arena. Oh well.

Thanks... college work.

And Switch ordered!

decided to also get both a carrying case and some screen protectors just to be on the safe side

All of it will be here by Wednesday if things go well...

MY FELLAS! IM BOUTTA BLOW THIS POPSICLE STAND WIDE OPEN!

Better prepare yourself my friend.

Cause once you get online (after you unlock some characters), it's gonna be a trial by fire... or water... or mechs... or magic... or blaster... or swords... or aura/psychic energy... or... something.

Psy's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Ok, so like what are these whack a mole things in the first Dark World Dungeon?

Like, I can't get past them.

so, uh.

I’m currently playing through it, and I can’t believe I forgot this in my previous answer:

You just use the mirror the old man gave you to try and get on top of the hill that’s blocking your way to the tower/dungeon. The mirror warps you back into the overworld.

I’m guessing you may have figured this out already, but I didn’t want to leave you hangin’. Maybe there was something else, but I just got the mirror and remembered this much.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’ve been watching too much Steven Universe. I’m obsessed with the concept of characters fusing now. For example, instead of Phoenix Wright vs. Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright + Professor Layton.

Dante + Bayonetta
Mario + Sonic
Lara Croft + Nathan Drake
Mickey Mouse + Bugs Bunny
Rhett + Link
Link + Cloud

So Banjo is a Meme Swordfighter, got it

Steve is an anime swordfighter even when he doesn’t have a sword.

He’s a square with sharp edges, so all he has to do is swing his arm.

Hey; Smash fans complain about sharp poking sticks, so I may as well excuse the annoying anti-Steve trolls’ behavior with this silly and farfetch’d reason.

There goes my sleep for tonight. :'>

But goddamn I love two things

Swing music

And I like this new song

Steven Universe is a neat show. It definitely peaked around seasons 2-possibly 4 with the finale of Season 1 being a great point as well

Also you’re clearly horny if you suggest any character that’s female.

I highly recommend at least watching the movie, although watching/knowing the bigger plots to the show first would greatly enhance your enjoyment if you watch the movie. Either way the movie’s fantastic and the show is great as well.

I actually think it peaked in season 5. The best part about the show was each major story arc became bigger then the last and gave us so much more with character development, lore, and overall quality. The songs are always top notch and the show continues to stay great and become greater.

But with season five all the arcs in the show prior come together in a huge way that results in some of the best moments of the show imo. I really hope we get season 6 soon.

Although I’m betting the show gets rebranded. As for a name, I’m not sure but I could see the word future mixed into to the title based on the movie’s theme of it

That's not true! You forgot the fangirls (and I) with some of the fighters~!

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I was kind of disappointed by the ending to Change Your Mind. It essentially felt like...

Spoiler

"Hug fascist warlords and they'll be good and see the light." I understand Steven Universe as a show champions nonviolent problem solving, but maaaaaaaybe the final boss shouldn't have been alien invaders with a galaxy-spanning empire built on the deaths of countless lives, then Steven splashes around in the water with the people responsible for the bloodshed.

I think Avatar: The Last Airbender did a much better job handling a pacifist message. It championed resolving the conflict without Aang being forced to kill but understood that the people involved needed to face consequences for their actions.

But besides that I love the show and felt that was just a bump in the road.

Lmao I remembered the DLC Spirits, didn't have as hard of a time as I expected, and I cheesed the **** out of the gruntilda spirit without even having poison immunity
