Olivia x Gregor would be worse, I thought.
Also Stahl x Miriel
Ricken x Maribelle
Also there is no such thing as a worst pairing for Nah. Manakates are gods that will make do with anything. Nowi's usually my throw away mother if I'm giving out skills to other kids.

Um no. You've spread your fanatical hatred around tumblr, spat in the face of someone on miiverse who found their S support cute by saying it's a terrible pairing, and you're forcing your opinions on Gaia Online in the same way. I have two messages in my inbox about you being so fanatical. You're infamous on Gamefaqs for the same vitriol. And lastly there's even a troll post on tumblr about Gerome/Lucina because your hatred is that infamous. So butt out of other people's shipping preferences and grow up.
The only ship that matters is MorganXCynthiaAnyway, how did that disagree with what he said, and not only boiled down to, "Stop hating what others like?" He has the right to voice criticism just as much as you have the right to voice praise. For anything. No matter how stern it may be.
I suppose that might be a problem, although truth be told I cannot quite imagine Kjelle running away from a bug and telling Lucina to kill it for her. I can, however, see Laurent "experimenting" with the Falchion and Lucina being upset because "YOU'RE DISRESPECTING THE WEAPON THAT BUILT YOUR HOMELAND AND THE MEMENTO OF OUR FATHER!"
Yeah, didn't imagine Brady acting that way either. I don't think Lucina's Sibling-Support should stand in the way of anything.

I've only played the ones released in America and Genealogy, but from what I've seen, the writing has most certainly improved....

Good luck making it past Ch. 2 with +SPD/-LCK.
Speed asset, luck flaw is probably one of the easier set ups for me...

I would like to personally thank Lunatic+ for showing me how beautiful of a song "Farewell...my friends...." is. And I thought Steel Weapons during the first Paralouge was bad.

^No, Chrom and Sully are equal.
From their A Support:
Chrom: Yes, we've come a long way, Sully, and yet we're still evenly matched.
Using supports only, but then again Supports says Stahl would be better than Sully, thus both. I'm trying to factor some of the story into this too. Also, Supports aren't always the most reliable place for information. All kinds of things come into play when facing someone you know personally and have feelings of any type, hate included, towards.
That's right I forgot that Lucina beat Lon'qu easily before the start of the Feroxi tournament. I meant "stronger" in a general sense (A beats B in combat). Game stats don't show it but I think Gregor (maybe Chrom) is the strongest in the Shepherds which made me think who the OP characters might be if Awakening was a fighting-type game. (A non-SRPG FE game? Cut that crap out.)
Donnel is the strongest Shepard using stats, though.:P
Also, Lucina only wins because Lon'qu realizes that she is a woman. Bassilo thinks that they are evenly matched.
-
Hmm, good to know, guess its just the RNG.
And a random story speculation question. Based on the story and supports (not classes/stats), would this be the (hypothetical) order of strongest warriors?
Walhart > Basilio = Gregor > Lon'qu > Frederick > Chrom = Sully > Vaike
Those are the characters I remember that have multiple mentions of sparring/being competitive/fighting each other.
Depends on what you mean by strength. Walhart is obviously beaten despite physical strength twice, both times by Chrom, story wise at least. Lon'qu isn't really better than Frederick I would say, and more on par with Chrom and Lucina, as stated in game. Finally, I'd say Vaike and Sully are about the same, and that Chrom is better than both, if only slightly.Sparing isn't exactly a measure of combat ability either.

I wish Google Translate actually worked so I could understand any of this conversation about localization.

Okay, I hope you didn't just post that to annoy me. :/ This isn't a shipping war thread.
No offense, but you, or anyone else here I don't know, are hardly worth the effort of annoying. My point is, we can go back in forth exchanging opinions all day. What does it really mean my insulting arbitrary video game pairings.(I for one agree, but that hardly has anything to do with the topic.)
-
If you really want to learn how to play, I'd advice playing Hard Casual. Normal doesn't get you ready for anything except Normal.

Way better than Chrom x Female Avatar, I can give it that much.
Not that I care much for this support in anyway beyond making the game incredibly easier than it already was, what I had inserted these words here:
Way better than Frederick x Female Avatar
Tbh, don't really care for Chrom in any capacity in any of his support lines, but that's just me. Don't know if i would ever think of Sumia being in any support with him other than getting Chrom!Cynthia. Not that any of this has anything to do with this thread.
-
Because he knows he's too average to be Cynthia's heroic father. -
The only unit that required a lot of grinding for me was Olivia, and only when she was married to Chrom, and only because I already knew which chapter Lucina joined in. Otherwise, I only did it a few times every five chapters.

Well, here's some perspective: to you, everyone on this forum is also just words and pixels. It's probably safe to assume that there are people on the other end making those words and pixels, but you never see them- just the words and pixels. So do you see them as people, or as words and pixels?
Lulz, I'm going to respond to this seriously against my better judgement, I said Sumia is only words and pixels. Considering that everyone on this forum can respond to something I say, they obviously aren't just words and pixels. Sumia is, as stated, bound by predetermined behavior. But enough of that.
The other one has plot holes, but this is Awakening so that's nothing new: Basically, Chrom can only marry women who are present in his party at the time to mother Future Lucina. Panne won't join in Cht.6 because Emmeryn won't be there to convince her to, Tharja and Nowi won't join because Chrom will never head to Plegia on his rescue mission (while he'll probably invade at some point, it will be later), Basilio wouldn't have given Olivia because Ferox's circumstances could have been different if Lon'qu beat Chrom, and Miriel... Idunno, maybe Chrom has a phobia of units who can reclass to DM. Call this grasping at straws if you like, but since IS didn't give a better explanation there's no reason why I can't make my own.
Oh, and from an in-game perspective Chrom can only marry one wife per file so he may not even be aware of his limitation.
Dunno. Olivia can still somehow marry Chrom though. I'm guessing that the khans intervene no matter what however, Bassilio still goes to war against Valm, for instance with Chrom's help. Of course the war is extended most likely. I'm guessing that Emmeryn's sacrifice is what shortens the Plagian War in the current timeline. Also, Lucina knows Panne, who is there for some reason. Plus the other children still know Lucina, so they obviously stayed in Ylisse.
Really though, it could just be down to Chrom's preferences 'cause you know reasons.

Well I'm not going to deny that, I don't know her as I said, but saying, "You said this," and, "You meant this," are different. Either way, her reasons for hating a character are irrelevant, and no one should take it as proof that she's any of the much more hurtful things used to describe her in this tread. Yeah, her way of acting is childish and very immature, but when people say things like some is too far gone, or that they have said some of the worst things they have read in a long time because they said few people would want to marry someone like that, it's time to stop, I think, and reflect because that too is crossing the line, is all I'm saying. As to how someone feels when another character is insulted, I don't think you should get thicker skin, I think you should ignore it because it doesn't matter at all to anyone unless you let it. Feel insulted all you want, but letting how they feel about something make you feel a certain way, especially someone you always think is being muhahahahahturrible on the interwebz is just....silly. I think anyway.
I think Sumia is a great character, despite her quarks, hell...for her quarks, and very deserving of love from anyone, and I've already expressed my own doubts that it has anything to do with how men may or may not feel about her. Someone making yet another comment about how awful they are is ignoble at worst should be ignored. Don't need to write out an essay of how they are hellspawn.
As to her take on friendship, not touching that, because I know nothing about friendship.

The only thing that bothers me about shipping is when certain fans are so insecure that they attack the hell out of everything that could possibly "interfere" with their pairing, attack the fans who ship pairings that they don't like, or act like their preferred pairing is just so much more meaningful and canon that it's better than everyone else's. Other than that, ship what you like, I don't care.
Yeah, although taking any of the pairing seriously is something I never understood. Until it actually mattered for optimization, I usually just flipped a coin a few times and laughed about the support I read to get to it.

It's not a matter of being "too thin-skinned" when a fictional character is inappropriately insulted. We relate to and feel close to fictional characters because they're a reflection of ourselves. And when bullshit like "lol sumia is just too stupid and clumsy to attract a man" is said, it feels like a general statement, that ALL "clumsy and stupid" women aren't loveable. Hearing things like that in real life hurts; why shouldn't it also hurt when reading it online? And really, Ana, who is one of Sumia's marriage companions? Your precious Freddy Bear. Clearly Frederick is a better man, willing to see past Sumia's flaws and love her as she is; he finds her endearing and helps her try and become a better person. Seriously, it feels like you irrationally hate Sumia because of Frederick.
But she didn't even say those things. I don't know her, but you commenting on how you think she feels passed on past experiences using a current comment is hardly fair, now is it? First, she never said Sumia couldn't attract anyone, she said FEW, emphasis on few because that doesn't mean none in the slightest, in fact it probably means less than otherwise if anything, would want to marry, which last I checked doesn't equal love in the slightest, you can most certainly love someone with all of your heart and not want to marry them. Don't really know here, but from what I've read, she's pretty...vocal. However, responding just as extreme as she does, doesn't make the situation any better, responding worse doesn't either.
I get identifying with a character as well. Still, they aren't reflections of you, I'm sorry to say. They are reflections of ideas that IS thought people would like. IS wasn't thinking of how you felt and said, "Yep, there's a character." When the day is done, these aren't real people, and they will never be as complicated as real people, nor will they hold a similar meaning when being discussed as real people. Sumia is two things, words and triangles. She doesn't represent anything more than words and triangles, and she does not stand for anything more than words and triangles. She will always be words and triangles; do not take such things personally. It's okay to dislike how a character is designed. I think it's irrational, but I'm not going to pretend that someone should feel bad when they don't like a fictional idea.
And finally to the Fredrick thing,
I was actually thinking of saying something similar until I came back to all of these responses. -
The only part of the fanbase that really annoys me are the Chrom x Avatar and Chrom/Lucina fanboys. They like to go on about how Chrom x Female Avatar is canon and no other pairings matter and shit like that. Or if it's about Chrom and Lucina individually, they say they should replace Marth and Ike in Smash Bros. or something dumb like that. I'm not saying ALL fans are like that, but a lot of fans have made it very hard for me to see what's so great about them, Lucina and Chrom paired with Female Avatar especially. Chrom by himself though, not quite as hard because he's managed to entertain me a few times, but still.
It's bound to happen when a game becomes more popular, the amount of newer fans will start to even out with the older ones. Chrom's the protagonist and the only guaranteed character throughout the story, so he'll have more story time than anyone else. Lucina, as Chrom junior, will always be there once she's introduced. More content, higher chance for appeal. Just sort of have to live with it.

You guys do realize what Ana said was pretty fucking insensitive, right? It wasn't about what she said about Sumia at all. It was the fact she said women with klutzy tendencies and aren't the smartest people around aren't desirable in any way possible.
I was responding to what someone said, not to Ana herself. I don't think anyone denied that it was insensitive, especially considering I said it was insensitive. Either way, she's already clarified herself, and she most certainly did not even start saying the they were desirable in no way possible. She said to few at first, which is not true, but still. She meant to the extreme,
/nitpicking because everyone else is
Personally I find klutzy/ditzy girls appealing.So do I, but I'd think twice about someone who handed me a beehive. Even with that, I don't have a problem with Sumia. -
The real reason that Sumia has limited supports is because the developers wanted her to; whether it's because they wanted to encourage players to pair her with Chrom or whatever, the reasons have nothing to do with Sumia herself, so disparaging her for something she doesn't have control over is stupid.
I'm relatively new to Awakening, and new to these boards, but I was under the impression that this was a video game. Using this logic, we can't hate or like anything because no one controls themselves out of what IS gave them. I doubt it has anything to do with Sumia being attractive to the other male characters, but it most certainly has everything to do with Sumia herself, since it's about Sumia herself. Anacybele doesn't like her, who cares why? We can go into all kind of social implications, but in the end, you attacking her for her statements about how she finds a video game character insulting, is pointless, even if there seems to be a game made out of this here, I've seen. Her comment was insensitive, sure, but I guess I'm among the few people here that doesn't find broad generalizations with video game characters worthy of saying anything more than don't make a broad generalization about real life. If this is the worst thing you've read in a while, then you're missing a great big world out there.
As for the actual topic: Chrom and Tharja wouldn't work because Tharja discovers the affair between him and the MU that is present across all playthroughs. Chrom and Miriel wouldn't work because Chrom's ability to somehow fly defies all the laws of logic in the universe.
Why can't Chrom pair with Miriel and Tharja

Ships are srs bsns to some people. That always slips the mind. Still, no one should feel bad for someone hating a pairing. It's just strange for me to considering taking that as anything worth pondering or feeling hurt over.
Ditto for that concerning her mothers too. Like the entire conversation arc except the A Support really.
