Super Ricochet: Wonderland (The Finale is here! Who won?!)

[Fire Emblemier]

EBWOP:

When Fire Emblemier said that Hector was the scummiest lord to use in a confirming post I realized he and i will never get along and we've been bitter rivals since. He doesn't know it yet so this post will be a fun surprise for him.

Scummiest Lord during that game. Though, I stand by the fact that Micaiah is always scum and you should always vote her day 1.

 

[Moydow]

Corn space oddity uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm cool vote for me

Two out of three ain't bad... but too bad, I expect perfection.

 

[giraffelasergun]

I think Birthright is the best of the Fates games, and if you're only going to play one I think it should be that one, but that's somewhat of an unpopular opinion. I don't really get a lot of the praise Conquest gets, really. Its map design is okay, but that's about it; in terms of stuff like having an actual difficulty curve where earlier chapters are easier than later ones, it's a complete mess.

Conquest does have Forrest in its favour though, which is really a very significant point in its favour since Forrest is by miles the best thing to come out of Fates.

I think there’s this idea that harder games are better games and so since conquest is harder it gets to be better? I heard it’s story was better than birthright as well, but not that it matters since the third route is apparently the best?

Fair, lyns story line is very much just “we have to save my grandfather!!!!” Which how can you fault someone for that?

Who wants me to be thier best friend this game?

I could be your friend if you wanted.

Is this voting thing just going to end up with pairs of people all voting for each other, until we end up with a 12-way tie?

@thread: Tell me why I should vote for you. Bonus points for gratuitous Etrian Odyssey, Fire Emblem, and/or David Bowie references.

I won't win the vote but FE fangirl here and I enjoy EO although I haven't played eo too much (gotten deep into eo 2 but I didn't beat it.) Mia is probably my favorite character of FE but I enjoy so many of them. I've played FE 7-9, Awakening, and Echoes. I need to play more of 6 but its enemy deployment and then attack you stuff made me stop for a bit xD I'm also pretty deep into FEH too, although I feel bad how much I've invested into it because of its gacha nature.

I love how I managed to turn this into an FE thread, one more step on my path to conquering this site

All three stories are pretty bad, but for me Birthright at least made some amount of sense and wasn't completely full of Corrin making bad decision after bad decision. Conquest's story is more interesting in concept, but in execution isn't done so well.

the third route is apparently the best?

ahahahahahahaha
Nah, Revelation is pretty bad in all areas. It's by far the least polished of the three, its maps are full of gimmicks that could have been interesting with a bit more work but ended up just being frustrating to play with, and its story makes the least amount of sense. Only good thing about it is that you get to recruit most of the characters from both sides (but you don't actually get to have everyone because of reasons).

Same-turn reinforcements are laaaaaaame. Mia is pretty cool, though.

Vote: Moydow

Dual Shot isn't even that scary of an item, plus I don't mind supporting a fellow FE fan~

 

[Fire Emblemier]

Conquest is the best route overall in my opinion as honestly all three routes suffer from the plot being dumb, so it was easy for me to overlook it for Conquest save for the really bad plot point that was revealed in chapter 15 and made sure the plot couldn't be taken seriously for the rest of the game. I enjoyed it for the maps, music, and overall interesting aesthetic, that east vs west culture clash is appealing.

Clarity:

Using an item on a player (or giving them gold) is anonymous. However, the player that is targeted with the item or gold is made known in the thread.

Funky town. :3

 

[BarDulL]

Oh yeah. Item purchases were supposed to lock in at 7:00pm CST, but I am just going to lock them in at 8:00pm CST alongside Standard Actions and Item Actions.

Therefore yes, it is fine if you queue up an item purchase AND use it on the same night. Oh yeah, and just one more time:

ACTIONS LOCK IN AT 8:00PM CST, WHICH IS IN 1 HOUR AND 7 MINUTES! DEFAULT ACTION IS SHOOTING AIR AND NOTHING ELSE!

(I know it's silly to state someone received health anonymously and then state that they gained a health point, but it's not hard to do the math anyway lul).

Edit: removed an error from item actions.

 

[Pokechu]

It has been requested that I provide a visual of ~THE UNHOLY HAND GRENADE OF DOOM~. Unfortunately I do not have one off-hand, but I do have a picture of his cousin Bobert the Bomb, who looks strikingly similar:

Chapter 1 - Battle Royale

Walking into the coliseum got me...queasy, for lack of a better term. Like walking into a situation where you just know, somehow, some way, something terrible is about to happen. Like Buckner walking into Shea, as the Americans would say. Call it a premonition; I'm no prophet, I just play video games and forum mafia, am I really that suspicious?

Alright, maybe I know a little bit more than I'm letting on. Sue me.

As I entered the inner combatant circle, 11 others were already waiting there. One of them immediately caught my eye; he looked eerily like Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. His mannerisms didn't quite fit the bill, but that was to be expected; after all, Solid Snake is made up of polygons. Isn't that right?

"Snake" looked at me and tutted, then continued smoking his already lit cigarette. No surprises there. He was in the dark about the situation, just like everyone else. Warped here by some peculiar blue portal for reasons by which we should all be unfamiliar.

The coliseum was par the course: archaic and large, certainly not built in a day. An exact replica of Rome's, except the inner circle has been cleaned out; the footing was much more pleasant than modern day as it was mostly dirt and some sand, and there were no obstructions. Aside from that, the only thing notable, as well as the only thing catering to our vision, was a mysterious blue light directly above the coliseum's center. How enigmatic.

Suddenly, a familiar voice, his voice, rang out.

"Greetings, chosen 12! I see you have all finally arrived. I am Ramuh, God of Thunder."

Right on schedule, the proclaimed god of thunder abruptly manifested in the blue night sky and "graced us" with his presence. I mean, sure, there were some minor differences here and there; I can't say I expected this many residents of NZone castle, but it all felt the same. I appreciate the different spices of life.

I'll skip the drama; thunder goose is going to tell us that we've all been invited to compete with each other to attain the ultimate prize. He claims that this is a ritual that occurs every thousand years or so. Sounds like hogwash, right? Doesn't matter what it sounds like though. What matters is that the geezer is presumably our only way back home and that we must fight to the very end.

Or so he thinks.

You're fun to talk to. Maybe I'll let you in on a little something as the fighting goes on.

Honestly I imagine it's probably really hard to write a game with three different plots that all use the same characters and are cohesive. They can't have you hate the villains because they're the allies in the other games it's just a mess. Good idea in theory though.

Thinking about picking up birthright on Black Friday though, have to see what kind of 3DS sales are out there. Also might get detective pikachu for the lulz.

You have to play EO5 to completion and name at least three characters after me, and ensure that those characters never get killed at any point.

Okay, I have a Pigtail shaman named Moy Moy, a straight haired Harbringer named Moydoom, and a Roid Rage Pugilist named Moy(knock)dow(n)

He's lying, the character limit doesn't allow for "Moy(knock)dow(n)"

I'm not lying I definitely pulled out my 3ds and Purchased Etrian Odyssey 5 from the eshop, downloaded the game, and named 3 characters in the 10 minute period between when moy and I posted. I'm on the first floor of Tutelary Forest now.

Cool, post pics when you're done beating the final boss, and then we can talk votes.

Hi dudes. You know the drill.

DEADLINE IS IN 2 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES! :3

Also, I updated the Phase 1 end post. Forgot to include Ura. Ura shot air.

 

[Alice Phantasma]

I'm a bit surprised at all the silliness considering the holy hand grenade can one shot someone.

 

[BarDulL]

Yeah I know, it's a shocker. It doesn't even replace the gun. It's an Item Action and not a Standard action, meaning you can shoot and throw it.

I know, I'm a crazy goose.

People should vote for someone other than Moy shish or fire to get it

 

[Alice Phantasma]

You worried Moy, Shish, or Fire will kill you?

I promise i won't abuse my power. Knowing my luck I'll throw it at someone shooting themselves leading to my own ironic demise.

 

[Moydow]

If I get the grenade, I promise to use it on Bard and nobody else. We must unite to end his tyranny!
