3H really is getting crushed, damn

Don't reaaally care about FF7 but I like Tifa a Lot so sure. I voted for Raven x Lucius because that's some good shit. But Mark and Lyn is good too. Rip Ferdie and Hubie, we barely knew ye...

Who won the best girl contest?

I agree!! I really need to get in on this FE10 action, damn we're getting crushed.

I wanted really badly not to flyskip it, but after several failed attempts I decided to just try the fly-skipping. I got it on the first try. Oboro was tough but I was able to box my sorcerers behind my frontline units and smash her. Takumi went down easy to my Keaton, who I'm pretty sure is pushing 40 STR at this point. It wasn't very EXP efficient but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Getting through a few rounds of Boo Camp isn't that time consuming. I just had a string of horrible luck during chapter 24. I made it all the way to Hinoka. Xander missed a 96% hit against an onmyoji which... is par for the course at this point, thanks Xander. Most of my units had a 50-60% chance to hit against Hinoka, so I figured I'd ignore the extra pegasus units she summoned and just rush her. God, did that turn out to be an awful idea. Keaton must have missed four or five times, I send Odin in with a Hunter's Knife and a 75% hit rate to finish her off, miss. I dance and make him try again, miss. Neither of my generals could touch her. Xander has fallen off in usefulness these last few chapters very hard. But I think getting through Chapter 23 was a huge morale boost for me. I'm trying to marathon all three games and I'm getting very close to hour 100, so I'll take the morale where I can get it! Thanks for your guys' help! It's nice to have a place to just talk about the game, haha.

Edelgard hot that is all

Ferdinand x Hubert f!Byleth x Edelgard What can I say? I'm a Black Eagle through and through.

Congrats Seteth, good show Higsby. A final three that we can all be proud of.

Hoo boy I gotta say I HATED chapter 19, I cheesed the Heck out of that one. My Benny is built like a brick shithouse so I gave him a Beast Killer and let him go to town. I didn't have that much of a problem with chapter 17, but I did let Saizo go and kill himself. Didn't bother keeping him alive for the reward. I did pair nearly Everybody up in chapter 21, but I had to put Azura in a lot of danger in a few situations. I mostly had it under control. It really only took 5 REs from basically blind. I just loved that stop mechanic! Planning on when I was going to use the Dragon Vein and when I was going to tough it out for just one more turn was fun. I just hit Chapter 23 and everything about it scares me. Right now I'm kind of just planning on having Camilla ferry people over the gap because I do NOT want to deal with Hinata whilst getting rained on by Takumi. Any tips?

Did someone say meme power?

If anything is true, Tidus does NOT deserve the title of second best boy. We can do better than this! Rig the election!

I'm sorry Higsby! You can be second best boy!

This competition is tearing me apart!

[Seteth is losing] come on guys, OoT Link isn't even peak Link. Seteth deserves to lose to an actual Best Boy, Twilight Princess Link. also I wouldn't have the heart to choose if it came to Higsby vs. Seteth. Think of the drama.

WOW. Mad props. That takes patience and fortitude. Good luck on your runs! I'll be lurking in the background, plus you picked almost Exactly the units I would have picked so I'm rooting for you 👀 I can definitely see that being an issue. Old habits die hard and all that. I definitely support creativity in these runs, and, as a fan of speedrunning, I love that moment when lady luck smiles and you get a great run. These games are like 1000x deeper than I ever played them so I love that people really dig in here. In other news, I beat Chapter 21 tonight and had basically ONLY blessed RNG. 10% crits procing left and right (At LEAST two from Niles and one from Xander, not to mention Sorcerer!Leo and Sorcerer!Ophelia carrying their weight) and some CHOICE enemy misses made for smooth sailing. I was forced to put Silas in sacrificial range but RNG decided he was allowed to live another chapter. I loved the freezing mechanic, too. Chapter 21 is super fun.

OUCH. That HURTS. What would the real to hit be for that? 99.5 or something? *takes careful notes* I feel like that will be useful for the Takumi fights in these last chapters, though I feel like a ORKO against him is really my only chance of survival lmao I SHOULD have done that for Xander!! I tried to do that for Niles but fucking SILAS had too little movement to rush in and save the day. This has become the "Silas is painfully average" thread, throw the man away I never thought that drafts/"competitive" challenge runs were for me because the scoring depends on a low turn count and I take my sweet, sweet time on these maps most of the time. Do your strategies really rely that much on luck? How long does it take you to get through a chapter with your desired turn count? Sorry y'all, I'm not a newbie to FE but I am a newbie to these advanced strategies and this shit is Fascinating

That 3-way Dimitri/Tidus/Meta Knight tie though. Who will win??

That is extremely hardcore and I respect what you do fully. Geez. It's my dream to do challenge runs one day--but I'm trying to get through my backlog first, haha. I have an awful habit of playing about 75% of a game and then dropping it, so I have a pretty big pile of games to play. It's funny that Shigure and Midori are units that you don't use often - they were two of my favorite units during my Birthright run (Shigure especially). I'm using Paladin Silas right now but I don't like it -- I'm kind of finding him to be painfully average. I'm going to drop him as soon as I recruit Soleil, though I don't know how much better she'll be. I went for Azura!Soleil because I thought she looked cute with the blue hair. Shows you how strategic I am. I need to learn to fear 5% crit rates more 😬 Do Bronze Axes really nullify all crits? I really need to keep that tip in my back pocket. Might save me. I actually finished the chapter this morning! I had an Extremely close call with Niles in an uncannily similar situation with what happened to my Xander, but my Niles has almost 30 Res and is extremely dodgy. It was still a close shave (1 HP!), but I did it! Ophelia ended up ORKOing Fuga. Best girl.

I support floppy haired anime boys regardless of whether I know who they are or not.

God that pitch sold me so hard when I was playing Birthright. What a great basis for a story. I love all the Nohrian characters, I'm so excited to see them struggle with their loyalties-- Oh, we're just going to Hoshido to sit on the magic mcguffin chair? Okay. I guess that works too. we literally all ate dinner together in Izumo why didn't we mention this to the Hoshidan royalty it would have made things so much EASIER

I'm playing Conquest on Hard/Classic for the first time and hoooooo boy is it ROUGH. (Context: I'm bad at these games.) Chapter 20. The chapter with the wind bullshit. I've been chipping away at this for the past few days and I finally decide I'm going to finish it tonight. Did a couple of runs. Bad starts. Lost someone early. Reset and move on. But then I hit on something that actually might be going somewhere. I'm advancing carefully. I control the wind. I am the wind. I have one scare with Camilla, but like an angel on high, she dodges an arrow that might have killed her. 66% hit chance. Booyah. I do lose Shura. I don't know what I was thinking. He was left out in the middle of nowhere and assassinated by one of the fliers. 50% hit chance. A coin flip. A blow, but no big deal. I like Shura, but I can live without Shura. Keep moving. Finally, I'm in the home stretch. There are no units left on the field except for Fuga and the two Shrine Maidens, one with Freeze and one with Wane. I lead with Xander because this guy is going to carry me to victory. I am unstoppable. I am the wind. Bow down before me, Wind Tribe! Xander gets hit with Freeze. That's when I notice that two of the reinforcements are Spear Masters (no Swordcatchers, I check), but one of them is an Onmyoji. Rabbit Spirit. Yikes. Okay, okay. This is fine. Xander can't retreat, but he should be able to stand up to one onmyoji and a couple of Spear Masters. I have them bottlenecked and my entire army is behind him. We'll be able to blast this guy and finish this chapter next turn. Enemy phase. The onmyoji moves. Big yikes. 19x2?! 80 to hit? What? My Xander is certainly dead. Certainly. There's no way, he only has 30 HP right now, I'm going to lose to a couple of last round reinforcements?! HE DODGES! I almost cheer out loud. He can take the second hit, no big deal. It's just Spear Masters! I have 11 HP! Hell yes! The Spear Master moves. 7x2. 100% hit rate. Well, screw you too, Conquest. Anyway, tell me about some times that Conquest screwed you over so I don't feel so bad about myself over here.

We stan. Glory to Adrestia!

Thank you thank you! Currently enjoying a nice day off. Doing pretty good, yourself?

I'll join you but I have noodle arms so I'll do squats.
