Don't put in some random text thinking it'd count as justification.

Units and Ranking Sigurd: 9.96 Noish: 6.15 Alec: 6.17 DAY 4: ARDAN ___ Oh, Ardan. Where do I start with Ardan? How about the 4 move and joining at the same time as three horseback units? Or how, by the end of the Prologue, he is one of two non-mounted units? Or how he's swordlocked? Or how he has pretty pathetic stats and his only skill is the moderately decent Ambush? Yeah. THAT Ardan. He has great convos but who the hell wants to bother getting them? He can father some tanky kids, but so can Lex. And Lex gives Neir and Elite on top of that. Sorry, Ardan. Try harder. Or get a horse. 1.5/10

That's it for this round; Alec gets a 6.17.

10/10 She flies, she comes early, she is arguably the second best unit in the game (Franz doesn't fly), and she's fabulous. And she has double Anima supports. Even though they can't catch up to her. But still. The thought that counts.

Best: Dorcas kills Natalie. Honorable Mention: Killing Fargus, All deaths involving the Devil Axe and a non-attacking enemy (Kishnua, Snag, Wall0 Worst: Micaiah dying to almost everything in FE10. Dishonorable Mentions: Lyn dying in FE7 Prologue, Roy getting OHKOed by Bolting, Ike losing to the Black Knight in C27, Sigurd dies, Home Castle Seized, FE9 C13 Defend Square seized

Units and Ranking Sigurd: 9.96 Noish: 6.15 DAY 3: ALEC ___ Alec has everything good that Noish lacks. Pursuit, Skill, and Speed. The problem? Noish has what Alec lacks: Strength and good father potential. Alec actually doubles enemies with the ever-broken Pursuit, but really that's all he's got going for him. He won't ORKO like Sigurd, and he doesn't have innate Critical like Noish. At least he has a horse and won't get OHKOed by Horseslayers because lolFE4Nihil. Father wise, he's not that great. He passes down Pursuit, but so do most other fathers. He'd probably be decent for Lachesis' kids because they'd be able to have Pursuit and laugh at Horseslayers, but Lachesis will fuck Beowulf and Fin before Alec. Hell, she'd fuck Dew before Alec. None of the other mothers want him boning her, too. Sylvia is the closest but she has Claude and Levin looking to bone her before Alec does. He's too far behind in the list of potential fathers to be considered. He does have a cool turban, though. 6/10

That's it for this round. Noish gets a 6.147 which rounds to 6.15.

Well I put Noish first but it really doesn't matter for the order of the Chalphy three. I can't see anyone coming close to Sigurd except maybe Lex, Ethlin, or Fury.

Units and Ranking Sigurd: 9.96 DAY 2: Noish __ Noish isn't horrible, by any means. He's mounted in a game where horse means instantly superior, he has Critical, and he's got lots of availability. The issue is, he lacks Pursuit whereas his mounted counterpart Alec does. Even Lex, who joins a turn later, has the Hero Axe in Chapter 1. Noish also lacks evasion and attack speed, so he gets hit. A lot. And because he can't naturally double, he has a much harder time killing mooks than Sigurd, Alec, or Hero Axe!Lex. Noish does, however, come with Charge, which is essentially Pursuit... but for both combatants. I see it more of a strike against Noish because Charge provides more chances for Noish to get hit. Noish does have better father potential over Alec, being one of the best parents for Fury's kids. He also isn't bad for Ayra or Lachesis' kids, but both of them have better options. Hell, even Fury has Levin and Claude, but Noish at least can keep up with her. overall I find Noish to fall behind quickly, and he's really only good for playing backup to Sigurd. While he's mounted, his lack of Pursuit or strong claim for a Hero weapon really hurts him. 5.5/10

Apologies for not getting the voting done earlier, I was out all night. This round's over, I'll have calculations in a sec. EDIT: 9.96 for Sigurd. fuck you darros

Well, obviously we're going to take generation separation into account. It's really the only way. Also, I'm wondering how to rank the children characters. Should it be by father, or overall?

So did not steal this. Okay, I figured we should totally do this for FE4. It's pretty awesome so far, and I figured why not use FE4, which is arguably one of the most well-known and popular games.

Units and Ranking none yet~ DAY 1: SIGURD __ Okay! Let's get the ball rolling. Sigurd is easily defined as the greatest unit ever. He's considered to be the best lord in the series, and has the unique ability of soloing the entire First Generation. He uses Swords and Spears, which means he has a fairly large control of the Weapon Triangle, and he also has the severely broken 9 MOV, which in FE4 means he's automatically Top of God Tier. Sigurd also has Pursuit, the most broken skill in the game, which allows him to double everything. He's also promoted, which makes things better. He has superior growths, and gets a Silver Sword almost exclusively for himself. In fact, most of the Rings, the Light/Thunder Sword, the first Silver Sword, and the Hero Sword should be exclusive. Sigurd then gets Tyrfing and wrecks Chapter 5. Enough said, Sigurd has few flaws. The Horseslayers are annoying, especially in FE4 when they insta-crit, and there are times that Sigurd may need backup. But when you can solo most, if not all, of your generation, you're doing shit right. Oh, and he's walking sex. Too bad he wastes it on Diadora. 10/10

That's because Nils and Ninian are massively superior and assist extremely well in both ranked and efficiency runs.

Merlinus would get 10/10 from most everyone, because of his sheer usefulness and utility.

Not my only point.

Nino also chips, is required for 28x where she can steal a few kills to help move people around faster, and recruits Jaffar.

Ah, FETO. I remember its inception way back when. I never really enjoyed it, and to be honest, I still don't. For some reason I just never got into it. As for Jeff, I didn't even realize his Fire Emblem interest existed outside of Makalov and Oliver anymore. GTS+, and especially GPX+ are taking over his life. Although GPX may take FETO's road soon enough. Raven's gonna kill me.

Nino below Wil is irritating me. Nino at least can become good. Wil can't ever be good.

He's not on a horse which means no 10/10 for him. But he's the first staffbot and one of the best. No AS loss from Elfire is sexy. Moustaches aren't my thing though. But he's extremely useful. 7.5/10 because I like Natasha more.

He's really only good for staffbotting and taking out Nergal and the Dragon. Although Luna is basically exclusive for him, there's not much of a point for him to do anything else. But he can most likely wreck Final on his own. But you probably have enough good people who can also wreck it. 8/10 for being the reason Hector gets Armads and for being that crutch staff user.

Gilliam. What a useless unit. Low movement means hard training. He gets WTC after promotion but who wants to promote him? Franz, Forde, and Kyle all want to promote first. 0.5/10 because he's still better than Amelia. Barely.

Hi, Renault. Give me the Fortify so I can slap it on Priscilla/Serra/Pent/Lucius/Athos. Now go sit on the bench. Or at least snipe a few enemies with loldivine and then go to the bench. 1/10

Predicting Shin has the most curses. He's quite the troll sometimes.

ALLRIGHT. *Cracks Knuckles Best: SethxFranz Yeah. I know. But I've always imagined Franz as having a crush on Seth. So yeah. *shot Honorable Mentions: IkexSoren, IkexRanulf, EphraimxInnes, HeathxLegault, HectorxEliwood, HectorxMatthew, SainxKent, FordexKyle, SigurdxCuan, SigurdxEltshan, SkasaherxShanan, SigurdxAlvis, RossxEwan, CormagxEphraim, SethxGlen, and many many many many more... *shot Worst: MatthewxJaffar Because... it'd be weird.

Coolness: 5/5 Sexiness: 4.25/5 Toughness: 5/5

If Seth could fly, he'd be FE10!Haar. But he can't, but that's okay. Because he's Seth. The only units better than him arguably are FE10!Haar, Sigurd, and Celice after promotion. That... is not a lot. Seth doesn't just rape FE8. He goes out to dinner with it, he slips ruffies into its drink, takes it home, does nasty things, videotapes it, and then throws FE8 in a shopping cart and careens it down a NYC street. THAT is Seth. 10/10
