Late update is late. Anyway, here's the last parts of Mega Man:

Either I'm overlooking the past posts or no one has seemed to claimed Blaze Fielding (Streets of Rage), so I'll claim her.

For me, it depends on the situation and the character. If it's one of my absolute favorites or desired unit(s) I seriously want to train for the playthrough, I'll restart. If I'm WAY too far into the chapter, I'll keep going...IF the chapter is too frustrating. I'd even let one of my favorites die on rare occasions if it's that bad. Perfect example: In my recent FE10 HM run, I had no choice but to move on in chapter 3-11 (The great bridge) after Gatrie was mobbed by two Warriors/Halberdiers and then killed right after by a Silver Bow Sniper who landed an 8% critical hit. Why? Everyone and their mama crossed ALL the traps and I was ready to kill the boss/seize and several units nearly got perfect level ups...and I was going to lose all that time and effort if I restarted. As much as I'm not a fan of Armored Knights, Gatrie is an exception...but I had to let him go because not only for the reasons already stated, but it was also my fault for getting cocky with a tank...so I had to suffer for it. So yeah. Summed up: Depends on the situation. But generally, I try to keep everyone alive as much as possible.

Huh...I must have misread 31x for 32x. No wonder something looked a little strange. XD

I understand where you're coming from and I'm fully aware of how great Marcus is (who doesn't?). But it's just the mere fact that you only have about half of the game of how you wanted to play. If I'm not mistaken, it's intended to be a pre-promote 'only'...meaning no matter what, anyone who isn't second class already is banned period, no matter what...no exceptions. Plus, there are more ways other than banning Marcus entirely from early game to make it more challenging later on. Pretty much reverse your idea and rely on him rarely (Or not at all by keeping him not deployed) when you get more pre-promotes until say...BBD or CoD? He could be stripped from his equipment and be used as a rescue bot or something for the duration of his 'chill time'. They get more levels while he sits out and take his break, hopefully long enough for them to catch up or get closer to him statistically. But the run is over and done with anyway (And it was quite enjoying at that), so it's kinda pointless to worry about such things now... XD

If he did that, then there would be no point in doing the run in the first place. Isadora doesn't come around until Ch. 22, which is already mid game. His entire early game would have consisted of non-promoted units, which was one of the restrictions he set for himself. There's not much he can do about Marcus.

Me before watching: Hmm...I don't think it would be that much worse than Friday. Let's see! ... Afterwards: Whyyyyy?! I think my ears blew up....and I didn't think that was even possible.

Chapter 31: (11 / 400) Basically allowed Hector to get a bunch of kills and fight Denning with the Brave Axe. Managed to get all the treasure. Chapter 32: (8 / 408) Serra warped Hector over to the area below Limstella's, which he (and Fiora, who eventually caught up to him) cleared out the enemies blocking the way. Limstella was 4x attacked with Brave Axe because of her tome weighing her down. Hector critical hit killed her on EP, then seized on PP. Chapter 32x: ( 1 / 409) Warped Hector to Kishuna, who got critical killed with the Killer Axe. Final Chapter-1: (7 / 416) Split everyone up and gave them door keys. With everyone split into teams, every morph was killed on turn 6 when Nergal's path was open. Defeated him on turn 7 with Hector getting the kill. Final Chapter-2: (2 / 418) Had to go for a two turn, because I didn't have a thief to steal the fortify staff from the sage by Nergal (Legault can't steal anymore), nor did I make it to the ruins to get Renault in time. Otherwise, I would have allowed everyone to gang up on the Dragon at turn 1. [spoiler=stats] Despite not maxing his level, Hector was useful all the time. Even in some of his unpromoted chapters while everyone was next class. I'd say that I probably got really lucky with most of his level ups. I mean, he basically caught up with blessed Eliwood like it was nothing in speed. My best tank to throw in mobs of enemies while barely taking damage to getting tinked (I'm looking at you, Chapter 31!). I thought he would have capped speed, but I was apparently wrong. Guess I got too confident about his lucky levels. He was an exceptional helper to early game. Nearly useless in mid, then my mounted friend in late game. This is the luckiest Eliwood I've ever had! The goddess on wings. Some of my low turned chapters weren't even possible without her. She's been a constant support ever since I got her, just like Hector was...expect you know, flying. Nothing much to be said here about the killing machine. His stats speak for himself. Dat strength! I thought I wasn't as lucky as I was with her back then, but she turned out amazing again. 11 defense itself was a big leap to above average defense, given the 15% growth. One of my best. I'm actually impressed by how far she made it here at this level. But she turned out the way I figured she would in the last show. She had an S in light, but I didn't need it only for Luce and even that isn't all that good. Still, I needed her always. All I have to say on Legault is that he turned out to be a beast at the end. He was still only a point away from Jaffar's base strength, but that doesn't make much of a difference. Looks like those Afa's drops really did make a difference! She still had ways to go on her magic, but she was strong enough to nearly solo both morph Ursula and Jerme on her own! Can't really say much of what she's done because she came so late... Self-explanatory. Though my TC looks like crap, I had fun overall. That's all that matters anyway.

Gaah...that shit hurts. All my hits came from school. While at P.E. a long time ago, I took a hit from a random basketball when I was chilling on the stands. Why my legs were open wide enough, I have no clue. That happened in like, 9th grade or something. Then there was one time in the same year where these idiots were playing some stupid game where they go around and see how many guys they can hit in the marbles between each other (like a score or something)....and poor ol' defenseless me at the time ('cause I was still small and kind of weak at the time) was one of the victims...twice.

1. Vergil Sparda (Devil May Cry 3 specifically) 2. Guy Cecil (Tales of the Abyss) 3. Ike 4. Zero (Mega Man X) 5. Judith (Tales of Vesperia) If this was a top ten, then this list would have been much less harder to decide. Honorable mentions to: Ryu Hayabusa, Yuri Lowell, Rutger, Sue (FE6), and Asbel Llant.

I like her a lot compared to the other Mages (Though I like Calill more). But all the hate on Ilyana is that she got a big nerf from the previous game. That and out of all the Mages, her speed cap is 30 compared to the others' like 32 (I believe). It may be just two speed, but in a game like FE, those two speed points are still important. Though chances are with the 30% growth, she probably won't even reach her cap. Not to mention Thunder went from the strongest magic type to the weakest. Though it gets a point for Rexbolt, but the only thing I find that useful for it is 4-E-3 (The more power to wreck those dragons the better). Her caps themselves are below the other Mages. 45 HP max to the usual 50 for most characters in general isn't all that good (But chances are, you aren't going to cap most of their HP anyway unless you're lucky). I forgot her defense cap, but that also is lower I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I think Dheg 1HKOs her no matter what without tile/tide bonus. She's got strength to hold tomes over all of them though, so that's plus. Her availability is cool. You have her way longer than most Mages other than Micaiah, but being with the GMs hurts her a bit. By the time she arrives, she's still kind of frail from being with the DB, who has some serious EXP competition. It'll take quite a few chapters with Ike's team for her to step up some more, since she can use Fire/Wind tomes to help with dealing with Thunder's low MT. Her growth rates themselves are actually a slight improvement from her PoR self, but taking the info in account of what I stated above, it kind of doesn't matter. Regardless, I still love using her. What I said above was my unbiased opinion. I like her as a character too. I find the whole 'hungry' thing pretty funny and a bit of relief from the serious setting at times. Some people like it, some don't. But all that's not relevant right now.

Lol, sorry. I generally like any genre (Minus most FPS), so you can go wild on recommendations of any type of game. Though with better detail, I lean a lot on JRPGs, Strategy, Action/Adventure, etc. But all the suggestions so far seem interesting. I'm going to look into them whenever I feel I can spend some more money on games. Me too. :P But your name seems familiar...are you on YouTube?

I mainly got it for Tales of Graces f (Which I already have), but yay! I've been waiting forever to finally afford one. So, any recommendations?

Badaud...I'm gonna love using this. XD

Almost done... Chapter 21: (5 / 262) Managed to get most of the important items, including the Elysian Whip and Wyrmslayer. Overall, rushed Oleg with Raven and Rebecca. Whenever Fiora caught up from shopping, she took the kill. Chapter 22: (6 / 268) With Eubans being in the far right corner this time (That punk), it took a while longer without mounts. Fiora couldn't rush because she didn't have both the strength to solo Eubans nor avoid to dodge arrows from the ballistae. She arrived together with Raven and Rebecca to take the kill. Managed to get all the treasure, plus having Legault steal the thief's Lockpick. Chapter 23: (12 / 280) This was quite hard to clear with a one-digit turn count with my drafted team. Why the heck are both Paul and Jasmine in the corners this time, I'll never know. But it's good that Pent remained completely still and only attacked those who attacked him. Eventually killed both bosses and managed to miraculously dig up everything in the desert in the process. Chapter 23x: (12 / 292) This was quite tricky. First off, I split my powers into Raven, Rebecca, and Legault for the path going downwards and had Fiora, Eliwood, Serra, and Ninian go together to the left. Even though having Serra here altogether is useless, she was useful for item storage, at least. Hector tagged along with Raven's team. By the time I was halfway towards that treasure chest in the far bottom left corner, I realized no one on Eliwood's side had a chest key on them...so I let the Silver Blade go. Chapter 24A: (6 / 298) After letting Fiora (And Rebecca with the ballista) kill off all the Wyvern Riders for about 2 turns, Fiora rescued Raven and they both traveled to where Linus and his two hero friends were. Raven was dropped off to the left of Fiora at the top so the two heroes would suicide on her instead. Then ran up with Raven on turn 5 while throwing what was left on his hand axe at Linus's head so he can take less damage compared to a straight up sword for sword fight (Which chances were if Linus landed two hits with the Silver Blade, Raven would have died). Finished Linus off with Raven on turn 6 with a close up attack, having the WTA when Linus retaliated with his own Hand Axe on EP, but made sure I was done shopping with everyone and visited all houses before dealing the finishing blow. Chapter 25: (5 / 303) Quite easy. Sent Fiora over the lake to destroy all the monks and visited Karla for another Elysian Whip. Sent Legault and Ninian to the far bottom left to pretty much massacre all the pirates, moving Legault instantly to level 19. Then used Rebecca on Ballista to take out the other archers on their ballistae. Eventually after Pascal ran in and nearly died from Raven, Rebecca sniped him. By turn 5, I used Rebecca, Hector and Eliwood to clear the path for Raven to seize the last castle, since he had the best placement to not be hindered by those fortresses. Chapter 26: (11 / 314) Ah, the Vaida chapter. I swear, IS was a troll for placing her over there by the shops in Hector Mode. Either way, I ignored her and the shops. Mostly just racked up EXP for promoted Eliwood. Now that he has a pony, he can help out just a tad more in our TC (Too bad his movement is counted as cavalier instead of Paladin). Chapter 27B: (20 / 334) I hate this chapter so much...but hey. At least I know I was fast enough to have Karel appear, as I opened four doors before turn 10. I managed to get all the treasure (Honestly speaking, it's pretty tough NOT to get all the treasure, seeing as you are technically forced to go in every area with the chests)and everyone got juicy level ups. Managed to get Raven/Rebecca support to B. Same goes for Hector/Eliwood. Chapter 28: (15 / 349) This was quite fun, as I had no idea how anything would turn out from Jaffar charging head-on into a mob of enemies in the far bottom center of the map and having those blasted thieves getting on my nerve. I had split the teams up again. Raven, Rebecca, Serra, and Legault headed to the right side while Hector, Eliwood, Fiora, and Ninian took the left to get to Nino. With Ursula being in the corner this time, I rescued Nino with Fiora and used Eliwood to shield her from the axemen and the other enemies trying to rush up to kill Zephiel. After talking to Jaffar with Nino, as well as getting all the chests, I took the time to chip some promoted enemies for Nino while waiting for the last turn to roll around. During this also, I charged Ursula with Eliwood, as he soloed her. He had to deal with her Elfire though, as she spent it all on missing some of my units (And hitting Merlinus once XD ). But Eli's been super blessed with RES, so he slaughtered her. Chapter 28x: (16 / 365) Annoying as hell. Since I was distracted by all those Wyvern Riders (And Hector was too heavy to pick up with my only flyer, Fiora), I was forced to have everyone suck in the same spot over by those chests until turn 9 (Or was it 10?) for the rest of the platforms appeared. Then I hurried as fast as I could with Eliwood rescuing Hector after everyone cleared the way. Fiora then rescued Raven and placed him a few squares away from Sonia (Who wasted all her Bolting attacks on Hector). Raven then critical hit her right off the bat with the Silver Sword, first attack. Hector eventually seized. Nino also managed to jump from level 7 to 16 here. XD Chapter 29: (11 / 376) Been waiting for this. My favorite chapter (And my favorite enemy boss who uses a sword) I could have cleared in less turns if I was thinking straight. It's was the Wyvern Rider reinforcements that kept coming, as you know it takes forever for them to get to everyone who will most likely either be near Lloyd or fighting off the mounted and armored reinforcements. Nino helped out A LOT here when I promoted her from Level 19. Critical hits back and forth with the Thunder tome. I had Raven and Rebecca fight Lloyd, as their support with each other was all I needed. Raven weakened Lloyd while Rebecca finished him off, as they both capped speed and was able to double him. They are my main attackers along with Fiora, so of course they'd have the highest stats). Chapter 30: (13 / 389) I REALLY should have put those boots on Hector before starting. Since he gets no movement boost from promotion, he'd be the best candidate for it. But I brought Nino and Legault here with him for two reasons: Because they both were the lowest level and they both had enough slots to get the important items in the chests, like the Wolf Beil and the Elixir will come in handy. Not to mention the second Wolf Beil on the fighter. Go to Kaim late, but whatever. [spoiler=Stats] Still has the nice defense, despite being way behind in level by...well everyone. But he's still considered one of the better suited for front lines. Going to have my highest leveled units kick it back for a while until he at least hits over 10 somewhere. ...Wow. He's come out to be one of the best statistically. I doubt he'll cap strength and defense, but I think he'll get speed down. Either way, I'll be having a rather good time with the Fire Dragon this time around. The little one. I threw the robe stolen in 28x on her. While one can ask for better magic, I believe she'll get it up Pent style, since she's only level 7. She's a growth unit, so not much to worry there. Either way, keep at it Nino! I gave Legault the Afa's Drops to help out his strength a bit. Apparently it was worth it. Only 3 points away from Jaffar's base, so he's pretty much settled for the moment. Might get another Killing Edge or two for him in 31x. While 9 resistance suck like all hell, the 17 defense is quite above average, not to mention the defensive/offensive boost from his affinity with his Fire x Ice support with Rebecca. I always expect to have him cap HP (Which sadly was only one point away), Strength and Speed with little effort. I expected speed to cap, but not strength. She's already two levels away from max level, so she's already set for endgame. Same for Raven and Fiora. Speaking of her... I honestly expected her to have the highest level, since she's put to constant work. Though that's because I used her to ferry Raven to get quick boss kills. Either way, sexy stats. I doubt her magic will go any further than 20, but it'll be enough for certain distance staves. I fed her a speedwing in 28x, as well as giving her Isadorable's robe. She's been rocking with those Light tomes, despite them weighting her down significantly.

It's a good thing you can sorta control what actions your allies can do. Otherwise, I will have a tough time on 2-E with Calill only. The Royal Knights take too long to arrive...

Kurth.
