So how Double Duel works is:
Each player picks three characters to take
Each player chooses a team of AI opponents (each with unique rewards); If the choices are different, it is random.
Each player chooses one character from their team to field, like Pokemon
The two players fight together as a Pair. Not in a map, but just a battle (everything is treated as if it has a range of 1)
Host is the primary character and second player is the supporting, then they switch places for each turn
Clear the enemy team, and you win your prize

I can understand why they don't have a real VS mode (even though Shadow Dragon did), though I wish we could at least fight on a map, taking turns controlling our units. I hope online multiplayer is back in FE14. I wouldn't mind a mode where, instead of using your own characters, one player controls an army from the east while another controls an army from the west. A mode where it's not "who has grinded the most wins" kind of thing.

Kinda like this but FE and not a board game?

Sorta-kinda?

I'd be DTF down for that.

Happy late Alentine's Day, tacticians.

So has anyone else tried Double Duel in Awakening? It's actually pretty awful. I hope FE14 has real multiplayer.

I still have just enough people around me with Awakening (i.e. a nonzero number) that I'd like to try sometime. Organizing armies for other players to fight always did seem like the better option to me, though.

I actually did, I did all of them with a friend who plays locally.

It was neat at first, but god damn is it ever shallow.

Alentine's day is truly a magical time...For those who have a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Dammit.

Well I'm back guys, and I'm not too happy with myself. Had a really off day with my Robin and didn't play as well as I could/should have. On one hand I was able to try Robin in doubles for once and had a lot of fun with that. On the other hand, I placed pretty poorly in both singles and doubles and felt that I could have done better. However I'm gonna try to not let this loss affect me too much and try to come back from it, though it still feels bad. I actually did not bother to check my placement for either event but that should be up within the next couple of days so I'll probably let you guys know when I show up even saltier.

Though the whole thing wasn't all bad. Still had a lot of fun and had a decent amount of people acknowledge that my Robin was pretty good. Made some new friends and people liked my outfit. Overall it was an alright time.

Edit: Found the bracket actually. Got 17th out of I think a total of 50 some entrants for singles so I placed a bit better than I thought, but I still could have done better. Got 9th out of 25 in doubles.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Rough homes. You get jitters, or just not your day?

Also, how'd the other experiment go?

AW CRAP. I not only missed out on the Shulk fest, I have also missed out on the Rayman discussion, and I still haven't seen the gameplay video . I not really feeling it......

At least you have the courage to ask a girl out........

 

[Célja]

Well a few johns I have are that I lost to characters I had little to no good matchup experience with like Rob and Lucario. Outside of some of my pool matches, I didn't feel very on point at this tournament. Not sure what might of caused it, but I know there's another one coming up in a few weeks I can always try my luck at.

Other experiment went well. Got a good deal of reactions out of strangers and nice remarks from those who recognized my outfit. all I have to do now is write up my paper which won't be hard at all.

Well, actually, I found a 19 sec video on youtube of someone selceting Rayman on the Character selction, though I don't think I should link the video.

Gods, if Rayman is confirmed DLC, I hope this open's the door for other characters too (like Young Link, Wolf and Snake)

Speaking of Rayman, what are the Rayman thread's like? I have been think about visiting there, I quiet like the limbless man.

 

[AirshBornely]

I've never been able to test that, because there's not many people around I know who owns a 3ds, much less a 3ds+Awakening.

I have the same prob.
It's also rare for me to streetpass with someone with Awakening. I believe I've gotten...4 so far and holy crap were 2 of those ppls avatars OP. (Recruited both...with gold) They probably destroyed my streetpass team, though.

I didn't know a few seconds of the select screen counted as gameplay.

They're pretty quiet for now.

Don't sweat it man, your time'll come. For now just chill and work on yourself; the more awesome you are, the faster it comes.

Worked for me, and I remember being in your shoes.

Blech. That sounds like an unfun setup to begin with. It could be just because I'm a terrible Robin but I can't think of how you'd get in range to get the kill in either of those matchups. Maybe catch them in Arcfire and rush in for damage, repeat? Might work for ROB at least, I'm mostly concerned about what you would be able to do about the Blue Wonder when he's at kill percents and his side-b and all his smash attacks are doing their best Thoron impressions.

Eh. I'm a mediocre strategist, the situation just has me curious.

We all got our off days though. There will always be more ass to kick. Godspeed.

Now...about those photos. Of the experiment.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Late Valentines ya'll... *yawn*

Do some of ya use Smash Ladder? I wonder if to try the whole thing...

 

[redfeatherraven]

I drop by occasionally. Anther's running the joint, I gotta support my pika bro.

Seriously, he's doing solid work to build up a community. Give it a look.

17th place is not bad congratulations, good job representing the Robin mains. I used Anther's Ladder for an online tournament around when Smash 3ds came out but I haven't used it much after that.

I have the opposite problem, I started a lunatic playthrough a few months ago (been playing the game maybe once a week, hence slow progress. Smash takes priority!) and in that time, Ive been to EGX, two big smash tournies and traveled around some large cities and my map is just FLOODED with avatars, and because I havent exactly beaten the game yet, and lunatic buffs them up I cant beat any of them lol, and they all block shops and stuff, and its a right pain lmao.

Also, Hi. Gonna try and post here some more. I got second in a small tourney yesterday, yay. Got half term this week and im gonna be hopefully grinding out with robin.

 

[The_Cardinal]

@ Célja , do you know if any videos of your matches were recorded? If so, sharing them on the Robin video thread and opening yourself to constructive criticism from your fellow tacticians can prove to be very beneficial to you. Which reminds me, I wonder how @timetotipthescales money match went?

 

[Célja]

Sadly I don't think anything was recorded at this tournament. While I forgot to take pictures yesterday, I never bothered to upload some pictures I had taken from the convention a while back. I'll post them up here in a bit as soon as I find the right SD card.

 

[Wintropy]

Totally the perfect way to celebrate if this does indeed turn out to be true.

 

[The_Cardinal]

If I recall correctly, the Rayman trophy was revealed the day of or the day before the Robin and Lucina reveal trailer. So it kinda fits.

It's fake.

The dastard that made it just uploaded a YouTube video that showed how he made it.

You actuallly did pretty well, imo.
You'll be getting first place pretty fast if continue like that <3

Hey :3 Welcome dear
Well, you lucky guy
I can't find anyone at all with awakening. Guess I'm just unlucky.
That's too bad, too. I wanted to test my Lunatic+ team there.

...

It's fake.

The dastard that made it just uploaded a YouTube video that showed how he made it.

I can't say I'm surprised. I had that feeling when the uploader himself took out the video, most probably because he didn't expect it would get that repercussion. That, and because the "leaked" videos got out too fast, as if in sucession.
Also, Nintendo had gotten out of their way to say that they weren't with any other dlc's in mid, besides Mewtwo's, some time ago, that could be debated, though.
That Klonoa video I put here just shows what people can do when they want to "trick" others.

Well, it was fun, and that guy surely has talent for photoshop/whatever program he used
However, I can't really agree with these leaks:

-If it was real, it would just spoil the surprise for Rayman's fans when they showed the dlc.
-If fake, and it is, it's just going to disapoint the fans whom fierciely believed and supported that. We are even finding it to be amusing because we didn't care that much for Rayman in SSB4, but his thread must be in tears right now.

That's why I say: Don't believe on leaks, unless you have gameplay videos or confimation from either Ubisoft or Nintendo.

@Edit: I just noticed it's the same guy who made the fake Klonoa. That guy must have so many haters right now, poor sod.

At this point I firmly believe you can Photoshop gameplay videos.
Also I'm perfectly OK with that guy alot of hatred. Like you do not toy with people's desire to have a character they love into a franchise as awesome as Smash like that twice.

 

[Elezir]

Spoiler

What...what the hell did I just read

 

[Hong]

I shouldn't have doubted Hong...

Of course you should doubt Hong.

You should doubt Hong, and doubt the leak. Deny all that you see and hear, but still see and hear it. Take the information you have received, and internalize it. Formulate your own concepts and thoughts. When someone would benefit from currying your favour, it is always better to doubt than believe. If someone immediately does something unfavourable, believe before doubt. From there, rationalize why it couldn't be, instead of how it can be.

I would never tell people the leak was fake, so much as I would tell everyone how easy it is to create fake materials. At that point, if they don't believe that the generation of the fake media was easy, then they either are not aware of the kind of world we are in, or they've decided on what they want to see and won't believe me because it's unfavourable to their idea.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Coming out and admitting he made the leak and showing how he did it is one thing.

To wait damn near 24 hours to do it instead of right away is another.

I've never played a Rayman game so I can't really call myself a fan of the series, but this was just a colossal jerk move on many levels. Completely uncalled for.

Imagine if the situation was directed at us, and Robin was shown on the CSS in early July complete with his art, and then the guy waited a full day amidst all the hype and then #YOLO'd us with that how-to video. We'd all be pissed off. Rayman fans have every right to be infuriated.

 

[Antonykun]

Any ways segwaying from that heartbreak, here's a fun exercise: make a statistical FEA character!
(This has probaly been done before hasn't it :/)
Give yourself a starting class, two reclass classes, and stat modifiers.
I'll start
Priest/Warrior/Knight
-1 +1 0 -1 0 +2 +2

I strongly disagree. We learn so much more if it is delayed. We can see how fast people will deteriorate and propagate, and the rapid contamination of false truth. Personally I'd have waited at least a week to see anyone who could clearly prove it was fake, and watch how they get stamped out as a heretic. Come out too soon, there's not enough time to see the magic at work. Come out too late, then people will lose interest unless you can sprinkle occasional information. There are really not enough isolated environments where we can witness psychological stimuli such as this in a short time-frame.

All I have is praise for the level of detail on that art and icon, even if Rayman is not the most difficult character to reproduce.

It has been done, but it's long buried in the depths of this thread. Everyone created a class, subclasses, a description of statistics, a backstory, and how they are recruited. Everyone should do it again.
