anyone want to explain to me why warriors now has costumes that are literally just the characters in their underwear? it seems completely random, but i guess people love fan service so w/e
Because even the edgiest of heroes has to have a designated laundry day. :^)

who do you like the most

imo Mercy's golden shiny has more to offer quantity wise but, like, is super common. If you solo-Moira'd the entire placement I'd say go for her. Gold plated nails are 2sassy2handle4most.

Hello Belda Mains from Belda Social

Well, I summoned a Caeda. I have way too many orbs that I'm doing stupid stuff like this...
4* Caeda: neutral. Finally, one that isn't -Atk or -Spd.

3* Gunter: +Def, -Res.

3* Laslow: +HP, -Res.

4* Olivia: +Spd, -Res.

4* Soren: +Def, -Res.

Sup? :nifty:

Started to do the Crowler event last night, and I do like how Alexis and Bastion both look up to Dr. Crowler; makes me feel bad for Crowler when Jaden, Aster and Chazz just slack off from his classes. smh

Also, I saw Cloud805 destroy DSP in Dragon Ball Fighterz (He deleted the game again. :secretkpop: )

I'm also getting closer to unlocking Celica, I managed to beat the Fates map in History Mode, now all that's left is the Echoes Map. I did manage to beat the one stage with all the Dragons, but now I'll be trying to level up my units a bit, since a few of them are Shadow Duplication (Those stages are a pain in the backside tbh).

It's not bad if you use the orbs to do a full summon during the free redeem. 15 orbs vs 20 orbs for a full summon is kind of a big deal. We're still getting orbs too.

For my free pull + 4 others I got lame gorls. But then Eldigan was the 5th orb. Why does this loser keep popping out of these red orbs when there's like a million 5* reds? Boiiiiii. If you show up again you gonna catch these hands.

All he's good for is Fury 3, so at least I can spare a precious boi Hinata the suffering. BUT STILL omg stop.

tbh it's worth it just to see her gun's owl face in gold. :^)

Well I officially quit CCI if it matters, and I think I'm serious about leaving this time. I'll try again when the new tier list comes out possibly.

Dunno why, but whenever I watch False Swipe Gaming's videos on Pokemon.

I kind of want him to do another series that's on fighting game characters and how good they've been throughout their iterations.
Like Roll in the Vs. Capcom series. :yeahboi:

Roll being a secret character for this game and being the sister to Mega Man, you'd think she'd be good as well right? Well... no.

Roll sits as the worst character in Marvel 1, while she is smaller which makes her harder to hit; many of her moves are unsafe and has poor vitality/health. There's also the fact that she has to get in really close to the opponent just to do any damage something that Mega Man can sort of evade.

Her range is also pretty poor as well, infact; why use Roll when Mega Man already does what she tries to do. Characters like Gambit and Strider just demolish her and easily outrange her. So yeah, don't use Roll, only if you want to use her as a joke.

With the introduction of Marvel 2. You'd think Roll would actually improve and get some good stuff, but nope; she stayed in the exact same place as she did during her debut, maybe even worse.

Roll now sits in her own tier called "Roll Tier", the bottom of the barrel of competitive Marvel 2. With the meta dominated by Sentinel (The best character in the game), Magneto, Storm, Cable, CapCom and Psylocke, it's incredibly hard for Roll to get anything going; despite this, Sentinel helps her out incredibly well with his amazing assist. But...

You're using Roll, a character that only goes even with Servbot, the 2nd worst character in the game! Roll has non-existent results competitively and is not worth running at all; but at least Shoryuken has some very insightful and helpful information how to improve with Roll.

Pick someone else.

Roll actually got some well needed buffs. And thankfully, she's not the worst character in the game now. She sits around the lower tiers, but some have theorized that she could be High Tier.

So what kind of changes did Roll get? Well, her entire moveset was completely overhauled; instead of trying to be like Mega Man, she now has become a Charge character of some sort. With the ability to power up her broom to make her moves more powerful as well, she's quite a force to be reckoned with, her combo game was also greatly buffed as well; being able to do a solid amount of damage, and the burst mechanic helped her tremendously as a get off me tool and even being able to Baroque cancel her moves to allow her to do even more damage.

Her small size again makes her hard to combo (Which she shares with only Viewtiful Joe). The broom gave her a good range buff, solid traps; good OTG options and is a good assist with the water bucket that can cause a stagger or hit low. Her Hypers are decent as well. Speaking of which, her power up special buffs her Broom and Water Bucket; the Water Bucket will instead shoot fullscreen, her charge special will do more damage and her 236 Special also gets a wallbounce when charged up. Her Level 3 is a good combo finisher or if you just need to get raw damage.

If all of this greatly helped her, what's holding her back? It depends on what kind of assist she has that supports her; Casshern and Tekkaman Blade are amazing assist characters for her that help with OTG conversions, crossups and even to an extent, extensions as well. But if those characters are down for the count, Roll is sort of a sitting duck.

Her charge Hyper while good for damage, is unsafe when it OTGs; leaving her open for counterattacks and punishes (As the swing leaves her unsafe). Her Life Pellet Hyper is one of the worst in the game; it leaves her open for punishes, and the opponent can negate the healing by either hitting Roll or getting hit by the pellet itself (Which does pathetic damage).

Despite all this, Roll has seen some decent tournament results more recently, allied with Alex and Frank West. Roll may even improve in the future.

So how good was Roll? Well, first two games she was outright god awful; but in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, she was starting to hold her own and become a pretty decent character. Roll was held back by the strong and high speed metagame that both Marvel games had, but with TvC; she could keep up somewhat with decent combos, damage and being a good assist character as well.

Roll had a rough life cycle in Vs. Capcom, but with how she managed to adapt in TvC and even provide help with whoever she teamed up with, she could be more annoying then previously. Now I just hope they make a TvC2.

I’ve already decided that Ana is going to be my third golden weapon after I get Mercy and Moira’s weapons.

who do you like the most

imo Mercy's golden shiny has more to offer quantity wise but, like, is super common. If you solo-Moira'd the entire placement I'd say go for her. Gold plated nails are 2sassy2handle4most.
Idk Mercy is my original main and I have the most hours on her, but Moira is a ton of fun and her golden nails are so pretty.

I guess I’ll have to really compare the weapons and see which one I like more.


As for FEH, I’m glad that Caeda is on a banner again. I don’t want to use all of my orbs now, especially since we should be getting a trailer tonight for the new units coming on Thursday. Also, there’s that 4* focus banner coming up in March, so I probably should wait to see if Caeda will be a focus on that because it’d be easier to get more copies of her if she were a 4* focus

I traverse my way across Sword Valley and trying to take over bases several times (and failing) until I reach a sort of mechanical area with a tentacle Mechon similar to the one with Juju. I easily defeat it and travel on. I have now realised what was said about Sharla on this social was true:she really is the worst of the party. Riki is a fantastic wall with many status effect moves. Melia is a pretty decent support. Dunban is a killing machine. Reyn is essentially the same with even better defence (albeit less offence) and Shulk makes the difference between winnng and losing a boss battle.
Sharla feels watered down compared to the rest of the party. It feels like she was intended to be stronger. Anyway, we encounter Mumkar again who fights us in his suit along with some Xord clones with him. He defeats me easily. Learning from my mistakes at long last. I seek out to complete side quests and trying to beat the strongest enemies and running when the time is right instead of fighting for too long. I return two levels later and defeat him surprisingly easy. We have a great cutscene with Shulk stopping Dunban from killing Mumkar. Unfortunately, Mumkar attacks only for a giant block to fall on him from collateral damage. As well as severely damaging the Face, it causes the ground to break, making Mumkar fall into the abyss.

My goodness, this game won't stop getting better.

After the fight, I head into the Mechon base, Galahad Fortress. I kicked so much Mechon to the curb here, unfourtantly the stronger ones did the same to me. I need a key to open a lock. After killing enough Mechon, I fight a fairly strong one and claim victory along with the key. Heading down, the gang discovers a way to stop the ether production that strengthens the Mechon. After shutting it down, I encounter a group of incredibly strong one, including a giant one above my level that somehow I defeat on my first try. We then meet Fiora along with a few weaker Mechon. The gang were individually all fighting different Mechon on my first try. The second one is a success which then brings us to another cutscene where Egil appears and weakens the Monado, then demands it, saying it's useless. We then have a boss fight with Egil and Fiora. It was over quickly, since a cutscene interrupts the fight even though Fiora had only lost 1/5 of her health with Egil untouched. Fiora hears a voice telling her to save Shulk and attacks Egil, completely overwhelming him. The ground splits, and Egil retreats with Fiora sliding down into the abyss due to damage done to her. Shulk dives to save her, leaving the rest of the gang behind.

Just use her non-legendary skins with her golden nails. For some reason her golden nails don't fully show on all her legendaries yet. :C

What the literal **** are these new units

Armored green dragon robin lmao

At least Vengeful fighter and Bold Fighter are in the regular summoning pool now

Ward dragons is good too

New GHB is going to be against possessed Takumi. I wonder what Skadi’s effect will be

Also Laevatein’s older sister (?) has now been revealed and she’s a sword wyvern gorl

I am confused as to why they used M!Robin when I thought it was F!Robin who was Grima’s incarnation or whatever

I doubt any of these 3 will get demoted when the banner ends

And here I was saving up orbs for a rainy day and here comes Celica #2!
Well I have 250 orbs and I'm ready to whale.
Also there's 5 Robins now. Robin Emblem has actual options besides 3 blues 1 green.

Oh yeah and my free summon on the new banner was an Azura lol

Well...huh.

I wonder whose datamined dagger that was during the LA update, then?

This is probably a skip for me. Honestly I need new things to get spooked when summoning for things I actually like, and I really don't care about armors.

New GHB is going to be against possessed Takumi. I wonder what Skadi’s effect will be
B E T R A Y E L
E
T
R
A
Y
E
L

But because I don't know how to make that into a skill (take control of a unit you attack and move them 1 square in an some direction or something?), I think either a prf Brave Bow or ranged galeforce.

And here I was saving up orbs for a rainy day and here comes Celica #2!
And Celica #3 is on the way because everyone saw Eirika #2 and thought that was excessive.

At this rate FEH isn't going to have every playable character from the maingames, but you will be able to make a team with nothing but Bartre alts.

The armored dragon is probably the dumbest thing I've seen, but at the same time, we do need more armor users. So w/e. I wonder if his BST will be the highest in all the land.

Hardin = literally who cares bye boy.

It looks like Celica has finally gotten to use her sword, meaning that CYOL Celica won't have to be a sword/red unit to please the angree heauxes. She's another "lol bye 1rko meta" type of unit so that's pretty cool. Hopefully her B skill has an HP requirement so it's not so stupid.

I'm guessing possessed Takumi is free Close Counter fodder for all the gorls since Close Counter is like Distant Counter's garbage meme cousin.

This might be IS's way of saying that even evil gorls will eventually be summonable. Such as Laegjarn as a Legendary Hero. Maybe they dagger is just a really funky looking sword?

Yeah, it doesn't cost as much with the free summon thing, but it's more of me being very bored, having too many orbs, hoping I can get a new unit, and space issues since the new GHB is coming up this week, the new banner is in two days, and there's also the next legendary heroes banner and three heroes quests in March. Neutral Caeda helps to replace my -Atk and -Spd Caedas, but I tend to keep neutral heroes for PvE stuff, so she's probably not going to be promoted. I'd love a +Spd or +Atk Caeda. Wing Sword is great and Caeda's been used in several strategies for the GHB fliers quests, but there's still the remaining year left and the possibility of Aversa or Reina being introduced by then and they would be really, really helpful for those quests. That's pretty much it since Athena and regular Lilina didn't show up and I didn't even get a chance at Hinoka or L'Arachel who apparently rides a blue horse -- it's a reference to her sprite in Sacred Stones. Everything about L'Arachel is so dumb to me and I love it. I'm pretty sure Athena, L'Arachel, and Lilina are the only 4* and under heroes I haven't summoned. Everyone else is 5* or seasonal.

This might be IS's way of saying that even evil gorls will eventually be summonable. Such as Laegjarn as a Legendary Hero. Maybe they dagger is just a really funky looking sword?
This thing that was datamined recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblem...hat_is_this_weapon_in_the_gamepress_datamine/?

It reminds me of a kukri which can range from being knife to machete-sized if I recall correctly. There's also swords like the falcata, kopis, and the yatagan which have forward curving blades, but they're not as extreme as some kukri. Part of me feels like Laegjarn won't be the new summonable legendary hero. It would make sense from an assets point of view of just having her be summonable, but it doesn't make sense from a story point of view, especially without knowing what she's like. I doubt she'd betray her father that easily knowing she could jeopardize her sister's safety with Laevatein being almost like a killing machine rather than a regular person. Laevatein would be, if she's not already one, an easy tool for Surtr to use as he likes and she could easily be cast aside. The other thing would be how dumb it would be if we could summon her: "Oh hi! We almost killed each other, but I'm going to fight for you because video games." At least Gunnthra is an ally even though we haven't actually met her in person. Marth being a legendary hero would make more sense than her which people have been speculating that Marth might get a special CYL2 version despite not ranking first or second in the men's division. Watch it be Reinhardt or Wrys instead as the next legendary hero.

I'm not so sure about the new banner. Other than the spoiler issues of the banner, New Mystery Hardin feels like he should have been the GHB unit since he's a boss unlike his Shadow Dragon self who is an ally, but then you'd run into him being another freebie armor among freebie armors and the second armor with built-in Distant Counter who is also the first lance armor with a Distant Counter weapon. Celica's in a spot of I knew what was going to happen in SoV from the intro cutscene and what Act IV is setting up, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. That, and SoV, like Awakening and Fates, are recent games, so Grima!Robin and possessed Takumi are just weird. They're cool units, but I wished things weren't spoiled so nonchalantly. And except for New Mystery Hardin who just seems mean, they also seem creepy. For practical reasons, I'd like Hardin and Grima!Robin. So, I'm probably just going to do my usual two full summons and stop. Second full summon might not happen immediately because of space issues that I will need to figure out by possessed Takumi's GHB.

I watched the trailer again and noticed that the part where they show Laegjarn, she's holding her sword with the curve going upwards. So, the datamined weapon I might have mistaken for a kukri-like sword instead of something that resembles like a more regular curved sword or that's not even her weapon and it belongs to someone else entirely. I say this since from what little I can see of her sword, it doesn't look like it has the datamined sword's edge thingie where it looks like the edge is on the inner curve and doesn't look "flat" like her sword. Also, the blade looks like it's flush with the hilt rather than having a point sticking out and the other part going towards the hilt. We'll see when the chapter's released, but her sword could just be a regular curved sword instead of a kukri-like sword or her sword's different and the datamined weapon belongs to someone else. The next legendary hero being an ancient Muspell hero would be cool and I could see them being pissed off at what Surtr is doing in Muspell's name.

How's it going Veggie Tale fans? :nifty:

Managed to unlock Celica in Warriors now. Was hoping she'd be unique, but alas found out she's a clone of Marth. smh

I also managed to unlock Dr. Crowler which I'm very happy with. So I now have (as of now) every Duelist available.

Now we wait for maybe Tristan to appear, or it could be Syrus, you never know.

Also, might as well give my thoughts about the Box.

It's a DAMN good Box.

All of the WATER Support makes it worth your while if you plan on running Mako or Bastion.

Legendary Fisherman 2, Citadel Whale, Gishki Support and Ritual Monsters which make it really good. Even giving us a searcher for Legendary Ocean, and an amazing trap that synergizes well with WATER and even can be searched by Citadel Whale.

There's also Alien and Archfiend, honestly; Alien is pretty weak af and Archfiend seems like it's not going to be used as much as the Water Support. Water sure did get power creeped, which I'm very happy with. I think it may be able to go toe to toe with Cyber Angels, due to being able to deny the Ritual Spells easily thanks to CW's effect and that Sea Stealth Attack can protect it from being hit by higher leveled Monsters.

BUT FORGET ABOUT THOSE. WE GOT THE REAL PLAYMAKER IN DUEL LINKS NOW!

MOKEY MOTHERFRICKIN' MOKEY!

Blazblue Tag has a Story Mode revealed called "Episode Mode", where you get to choose from each series and see what kind of adventure they get themselves into. Though I am cautious about it, since from looking at the screens from the Famitsu magazine, it seems like they're going to be using the Illustrations of the characters instead of using different kind of poses for each character, it'll be a letdown if this is 100% true, but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

I already have FEW's game cart, but still need to buy a Switch. idk if she's a clone she will still be more fun to use than Marth. Assuming she has fire magic stuff or whatever.

At least Olivia will be unique when she comes out; I'm doubtful that Tharja will be unique. She'll most likely have Linde's moveset. Also, they'll be missing out if they don't give Tharja a Rhajat costume, since Robin and Corrin have costumes of their other versions.

Gorl when we say that _____ is a clone of _____ in Warriors, we mean that they're full-on clones. Like Marthcina in Sm4sh if Lucina had a tipper and she was 2 pixels taller or w.e. so that she ends up being the same height as Marth. The only differences between clones that matter are that only some characters can use staves (Celica can, Marth can't) and their stats.
And then you look at their stats and see that there's no reason to use Celica because Marth's stats are better in every way. O well.

...one of yew is going to say "but their specials are different!" if I don't so there, but even then specials are really only different visually. Functionally they all have about the same range and damage. The only thing that matters is how likely the special is to crash the game when you use it.

Gorl when we say that _____ is a clone of _____ in Warriors, we mean that they're full-on clones. Like Marthcina in Sm4sh if Lucina had a tipper and she was 2 pixels taller or w.e. so that she ends up being the same height as Marth. The only differences between clones that matter are that only some characters can use staves (Celica can, Marth can't) and their stats.
And then you look at their stats and see that there's no reason to use Celica because Marth's stats are better in every way. O well.

...one of yew is going to say "but their specials are different!" if I don't so there, but even then specials are really only different visually. Functionally they all have about the same range and damage. The only thing that matters is how likely the special is to crash the game when you use it.
Yeah, all of this is why I kinda prefer HW to FEW, even if the gameplay in FEW is better. Everyone and every weapon in HW is unique
I’m also a much bigger nerd for Zelda so that too

Wait, so who are the clones in FEW?

As far as I understand it:

Pegasisters: Hinoka / Cordelia / Caeda (But apparently Caeda's luck stat and prf weapon makes her particularly better?)
Archiest of Archers: Sakura / Takumi / Niles / Anna
Unicorns: Leo and Elise
Big Sis, in the library, with the candleaxe: Minerva and Camilla
WE R FAMILI: Chrom and Lucina
Perfect Hair Forever: Lyn and Navarre
Pole Dancing: Azura and Oboro?
Pinky and the Brain: Celica and Marth
The Royal Banana siblings

Unique:
Lissa
Frederick
Xander
Ryoma
Corrin
Robin
Linde
Tiki

And with Owain, Olivia, and Tharja probably not bringing any new movesets.

...yeah, I should of just waited for Pirate Warriors 3 to come to Switch.

Azura and Oboro are both unique but you got everything else right.
Owain is confirmed to be a Ryoma clone, the other 2 are unknown though.
Caeda is absolutely the best flier. It was sorta arguable before the latest DLC, but the Wingspear is beyond ridiculous.
Best archer is Anna because again, Luck is king. Although Takumi and Sakura still have niches; Takumi as the generally good stats and easy-to-build character, and Sakura for magic damage and healing. Niles is just bad though.
Elise is a tad better than Leo but the difference isn't too significant. Elise is also the character most prone to crashing the game so maybe you should just use Leo.
Minerva is better easily.
Chrom and Lucina have nearly identical stats that it really doesn't matter which one you use, although I think most people choose Lucina as the better one if they were forced to pick 1.
Navarre is better, but his Prf doesn't have Dragonslayer natively (which isn't too big of a loss).
Again, Marth is better.
Rowan is better than Lianna but I'm basically the only person that can stand his voice so everyone else just plays Lianna. Again the difference isn't too dramatic anyways.

Great taste tbh who cares if Perona is trash, I'm still playing her

Excuse you. I type larger walls of text than that. :p

Well, the new units's stats were datamined.


GM!Robin's 48 HP, 40 Atk, 24 Spd, 35 Def, and 27 Res gives him 174 BST. He's literally green armored Tiki with increased stats on top of that. +Atk and +Def would be cool and apparently he does get a super boon with +Atk like Valentine's Hector, but I'd personally go for +Res, -Spd since he would have 30 resistance giving him even better mixed bulk. Trading Expiration for a resistance refined Lightning Breath+ would bump him up to 35/34 defenses at the cost of 4 attack and +1 special cooldown which seems worth it to make him an awesome tank. +Res, -Spd GM!Robin with a resistance refined Lightning Breath+ would end up with 53 HP, 52 Atk, 21 Spd, 35 Def, and 34 Res. 88 total or 62x2 physical and 84 or 61x2 total magical bulk.

New Mystery Hardin's 45 HP, 34 Atk, 28 Spd, 36 Def, and 32 Res gives him 175 BST. His stats resemble winter Lissa the most to me; Hardin has +2 HP, +1 Atk, -2 Spd, +1 Def, and -2 Res compared to winter Lissa. That's a bit fairer than comparing him to Gwendolyn who's more of an enemy phase unit while Hardin can be sort of mixed phase. Maybe not as well as Lissa since his speed is a bit lower, so he'll get doubled by more people than her.

Spoilers Celica's 40 HP, 35 Atk, 35 Spd, 27 Def, and 26 Res gives her 163 BST. Sword Raven with boosted stats mainly in bulk: -1 HP, +1 Atk, +2 Def, and +4 Res. 34/30 neutral defenses when at full health.

Possessed Takumi's 37 HP, 31 Atk, 34 Spd, 25 Def, and 24 Res gives him 151 BST. He is literally Clarisse with 4 more resistance. Compared to regular Takumi, -3 HP, -1 Atk, +1 Spd, and +6 Res. On my side, the irony of it all is if my Takumi was +Res, -HP instead of +Def, -HP, then I'd run into the same situation with my two regular Ikes basically being -Def or -Res compared to vanguard Ike. Skadi's effect is apparently: "Effective against flying foes. Grants Spd+3. At the start of turn 3, foes within 3 columns centered on unit take 10 damage and bonuses on those foes become penalties through their next actions." So, with Skadi's passive speed boost, he's also like +Atk Setsuna with +3 Def and +2 Res. The main effect of the bow is weird. Nobody is sure if it only works on turn 3 or if it continues starting from turn 3. I figure it would be the latter since an effect that only happens once in battle would be pretty crappy. Also, I'm not sure if it's true, but someone said he has Fury and Spd Smoke as his passives.

Edit: Laegjarn's sword, Niu, is the datamined sword. The dialogue box covered the blade's details and it looks like the sprite. Also, seeing her art in full, Laegjarn really does look like a valkyrie to me.
According to gamepedia, Niu's effect is "Grants Spd+3. Adds 50% of total bonuses on foe to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res during combat." It's like a reverse version of Gunnthra's Blizzard tome where instead of taking debuffs, it takes buffs from the enemy to make Laegjarn stronger. I really hope she's not the next legendary hero because I would love to summon her.

Edit 2: Edit Harder: First summon of the Fallen Heroes banner.
4* Klein: +HP, -Spd. Please... leave me alone. I have so many of him that I don't know what to do. There's only so many people who can use Brave Bow, Death Blow, Glacies, and QR before it becomes absurd and I've reached that point already.

4* Mathilda: +HP, -Atk. Ew. I planned on giving Clive Ridersbane+ just for kicks and because he has decent defense, but I'm not so sure since Mathilda hasn't been a common summon for me.

4* Nowi: +Atk, -Spd.

3* Oboro: +Res, -HP.

4* Ogma: +HP, -Res.

Edit 3: Edit with a Vengeance: And mercy killed. Didn't get any new unit at all and I continue to be haunted by Subaki and Sully.
3* F!Corrin: +Spd, -Atk.

4* Merric: +Spd, -Res. This is the second time I've seen him since my first summon on this file.

4* Priscilla: +Def, -HP.

4* Subaki: +HP, -Def.

4* Sully: +Def, -Spd.

How's it going Broly fans? :nifty:

Elise is a tad better than Leo but the difference isn't too significant. Elise is also the character most prone to crashing the game so maybe you should just use Leo.
So I'm guessing Elise crashes the 3DS version? (I did manage to beat the History Mode map Grief; but I did skip over a bunch of fights just to get it over and done with. Plus, Velezark always seems to ruin my chance of getting an S Rank. Always exceed the 15 minute mark. smh)

Anyway, just about to get myself sorted and then eventually going to do some work (Hopefully).

Also, I've managed to get a few more Ultimate Ancient Gear Golems (Now I just need to maybe make a deck focused on Ancient Gears or I can just skip those and go and make a Mako/Bastion deck. :yeahboi: ).

Bardock and Broly also got revealed, though their trailers are incredibly short (Infact, the European versions are even shorter; only sitting at 7 - 8 seconds).

BBTAG also has some new stuff revealed thanks to ArcSys' stream. We got a proper look at story mode; Yang's model looks very nice, there's better quality art as well. Oh, and I'm so glad Cristina Vee and Patrick Seitz are coming back to dub Ragna, Noel and Nu respectively.

Hardin has a real resistance stat.
I repeat, Hardin has a real resistance stat.

Apparently possessed Takumi has Spd Smoke? I really hope that’s true because I’ve really been wanting to give that skill to Belka

These new heroes are stupidly good. I’m glad that I don’t care about them because I have a grand total of 5 orbs right now. +atk FINAL BOSS has 44 atk lmao

I spent 50 orbs on the banner and a +Atk/-HP Ike pity broke me and I almost got upset but then I yolo summoned +HP/-Spd Robin right after and I’m very happy
I would go for Celica but she might be demoted so I’ll hold off I guess. Time to save orbs again

I’m not sure if I should use the new Ike or my original +Atk/-Spd Ike though
