So does this mean Horace has to attack again with Cordelia in our match?

Seems to be the case.

[Nintales]

Who wants to host for Anon vs the fox called Me?

I think I can handle hosting one more game! It's FE9 right?

[Elieson]

FE8, averages, boosters. Sound good?

okidoki

That's what I'm thinking too. Being forced to act again can be disadvantageous at times and makes Vengeance+Galeforce less broken than it currently is. It's kinda the only nerf that's necessary to make for Vengeance, and it's all within the boundaries of common sense + how things work in-game.

Also, does everyone agree we should start showing attacker's skill activation rates alongside hit/crit digits? It's how we'd done it before, and it really makes sense for non-PavGis/Miracle skill (which you can easily tell are being rolled for on the defender's turn).

I support forced action wrt Galeforce. You took the skill, you gon' use it.

I always have been...have people not been showing proc rates?

[Nintales]

Yeah, it is!

Once I've done my team, I'll PM you.

Are we going on averages or max stats?

I'll rather like averages imo. That +cut supports and weapons. Just like the tournament, you know!

Does anyone want to play FE9 averages with boosters but without cut supports?

[Quintessence]

I think Espi means showing Activation Skill % (offensive) in the same way people show skill% in FE4 and 5

Like

Atk - 21 [x4]

Hit - 51%

Crit - 39%

Skill - 98%

[General Horace]

Yeah. See no reason to keep it hidden. I dunno why we stopped in the first place tbh.

[Espinosa]

Yeah, or, with my format, ...96% Vengeance 24% Aether.

Idk, I would hide it to 'not spoil'. Because you would know from anticipated that X unit has vengeance so the player might say 'leave him to the end' or sonething.

I'm with this;

Matching up against Robins and knowing if they have Luna or Vengeance really impacts how I would approach them.

in FE9/10, seeing a skill proc fail could mean like, Adept or Sol or w/e else

[Espinosa]

Vengeance activates so often that it's really easy to know whether somebody has it - it's gonna activate more often than not when its user acts. I suppose we could hide all info, including % "skill" in the forecast.

Also Elie, in PoR we always announced what skills the active units would have ahead of time. The only unannounced skill was, I think, Miracle (and Cancel? but there's no reason for Tibarn to not carry one), assuming it fails to proc, but that's a given. We never did play FE10 as of yet.

[General Horace]

I don't think we should hide it. We never hid it in FE9, why hide it here?

[Espinosa]

You still don't see it before the character in question fights back; I'd say that's good enough to keep the initial "mystery" intact.

[Quintessence]

Well that's true. I mostly display the basic Hit, Dmg and Crit as combat stats because that's what the game shows, hence why I omit Skl%.

Btw, what about having a standard format to post rounds? Edit: like showing just the basics? If the host wants to color or post extra images or gifs, that's different.

I would just propose the one I've been always using since day one, but I'm all ears if anyone can offer ideas about improving that format.

It's a useful idea for the upcoming tourney considering some standardisation makes things more stable, if there's one framework everyone follows that's easily recognisable and read. Also helpful if hosts change within one match (as it happened a few times during the first tournament).

People seem to be having fun just doing whatever with their format, adding more pictures and whatnot.

Speaking of which, it couldn't hurt if all the critical/skill activation animations were readily available in a SF forum post somewhere. In fact, I'm going to do precisely that right now.

Ah thanks, add it to the fe13 faq post. It'd be nice!

[Espinosa]

Is it just me or are we missing animations for RobinF/M?

[Nintales]

I have issues choosing my characters, so Anon, don't expect the match coming up soon. =(

Alright, I shall have patience. Take your time sir. I'm using my most OP team.

Oh, Elie, we still need a host for FE8.

[General Horace]

yeah, turns out they're not there. Odd they'd include both Morgans and not the Robins.

[Jedi]

So when would these tournaments be?

[AnonymousSpeed]

So when would these tournaments be?

...August 21st?

[Espinosa]

I'll be posting the FE13 tourney signups tomorrow, I think.
