woah But is all that really necessary? I thouht it would jus be an earlygame thing. I also like Outlaw a lot more than other bow classes. Bow Knights are boring. >:Ñ

It's always wrong. I feel 5 minutes went by and it says like 15 minutes, or 15 years when it feels like 7-8. Whenever someone says something that happened "10 years ago", it really doesn't feel like it. My life has been better since I stopped caring about "time" so much.

Why do I want to make everyone a Maid/Butler or an Outlaw.

Honestly, this game is really good. I'm a veteran FE player and really enjoyed Awakening (probably 2nd after RD for me). Fates brings so many new things to the table. It's really fun and original, and Conquest is being quite a decent challenge.

How in the world did I miss that. I know it's a blanket statement but it's weird when people say it and they're likely only playing one of them at a time, like me right now.

- Niles is great but why the hell does a Bow user have sub 80s Hitrates on literally the slowest mages. - I always liked Mozume, she's adorbs and I like foot lance units. - Knight/Generals are boring to me but I want to turn Effie into a Maid or something cooler (i.e Spear Fighter). - My Felicia is getting Str blessed but is behind in Spd by like 3 points...still doubles, though. - Don't feel like using Silas, even though I want Sophie. I like Silas, but Cavaliers are also boring to me. - Why do people call it's "Fates". It's literally divided into three games. You can't just say "im playing fates". - Can I S-support this lovely woman:

I like it when people say shields are "bad" in Ultimate, when they're just as good as usual save for not being able to shield drop. I never struggled with shield so much, and it's namely because of how awkward grabbing is in Ultimate. Shield pressure exists, but it's not like it's perfect and free for every single character. In Brawl and Smash 4, I literally just grabbed and that's it.

Rolling is most definitely not a better option to dashing, let alone in Ultimate. I understand what your brother means, but it's also character dependent. He means that dashes are more punishable in this game, but they also have the benefit of "cancelling" into more dashes with little endlag. In like Brawl and Smash 4, only a few charcters had that option to fox throt with little endlag (i.e C.Falcon, Marth, Roy, etc.). Roy's was actually pretty damn demanding, while everyone does this really easily in Ultimate. And another thing this might lead into is running into random Smash attacks or attacks in general if you don't use them as well. I've always had this problem.

I used to play like that, but I don't know if it's just me or my character. Zelda has one of the worst dash > shield in the game, because it ends on Frame 15. Standard characters are about 10-12 frames at worst, meaning something as basic as that makes it really awkward. Doesn't help her grab is also like the slowest (or one of) non-tether grabs. Or maybe I just grew so unaccostumed to it on top of overusing foxthrot that I just ditched that strategy. It was basically a staple back when I used Bowser, and even Corrin in Smash 4 (still has the best dash shield next to Sheik). It's one of the more basic approaches that just works. I also meant that, in general, I could just thrive off of reads, even in neutral. Since everything has so little endlag and you can buffer options, it's a lot harder for me to do that in this game. Even if you do catch something like a roll or an airdodge, they automatically just shield and you get punished for it.

I remember once playing a horrendous online match where this guy kept spamming (and missing) grabs and I literally couldn't even punish it because of lag and he would just do that and Flip Kick. I know wifi is horrendous, but that's a whole other level. Went 5 minutes of constantly whiffing stuff on both ends.

Yeah, that's really well explained. I always played intuitively, and it worked really well for me until Ultimate. Other people make it seem like there's nothing wrong about not being able to react and punish everything, and I think they're crazy. I think it seems that way on the outside, but the more you play it, you realise they're a lot stronge than they look. Maybe you can't do things like shield drop, or things like rolls and spotdodges are "worse" in paper (because of the staling). But in reality, it took me a long time to realise they're just as bad as ever...maybe even worse. Defensive players can get away with alot, since they have so little lag and multiple options to get away. I shouldn't struggle to hit or grab people, but sometimes even that is a lot harder than other games (let alone grabbing). Defensive play starts becoming a lot more relevant at like mid-level, you see it a lot. It's like the easiest way to get better, and Ultimate proves that. I never struggled nearly as much with defensive players as I do here. It just used to be a manner of try to read and react to their options, but here it's a rocket science equation. I once read a guide that said that Ultimate has this things where defensive options were buffed universally, so every character has access to that kind of playstyle.

There's a time in your life where you have to realise, that maybe for once, you aren't the problem. For being the most "balanced" Smash game (competitively), it's poorly designed. I've seen it time and time again. I played competitive Smash for almost 10 years since Brawl, and this game is just a slap in the face and kick in the balls. It's like everything I learned and practiced means very little for the logic of this mess of a game. It makes me very bitter, because it's the only thing I really care about and have invested time into, only expecting it to... work like it's supposed to. And apparently, I'm the crazy guy for expecting something so basic. I survived Brawl as a Bowser player and Diddy Kong/Bayonetta/Cloud in Smash 4 without once having had blamed the game or the characters I used. If it managed to get me to this point, there's obviously something wrong. This isn't even getting started with it's crappy online, which I've given up on a while ago. I'm strictly talking about offline, which is actually very sad.

I don't care about the limit of deployment, but I prefer fielding less units. More characters makes the game more interesting and gives you replay value for future runs.

I wish I could pull that off. I'm also growing my hair, similiar hair length, but mine looks ugly and messy sometimes.

This is literally the polar opposite of people who idolize it and never did it.

In most cases, I'd rather just be myself than put on a fake face or other things. This is just specifically referring to the dumb things my mother berates me for.

jesus I'm not talking about basic social normal cues I mean dumb things like asking others if they want a cup of coffee when I get one or asking other's if they're alright when something like that would never come to my person naturally. I'd rather be me than sound fake for the sake of sounding "considerate". It's not even that I don't care a lot of the time, it's just things that are literally not ingrained into my person. or like something fell I literally didn't see it and she's too damn stubborn to even consider that a possibility and that I literally just left it there.

What is "sad"? I know a lot of other people who've had it and they're still miserable. "sad" is when you think it'll actually make your life better.

wtf

whaaaaaat

I looked up this game's caps and characters reach absurd stat levels, like 70-80s, sometimes even 90s. I wasn't surprised this game would reach at least 3rd tier caps (40, tops), but this is an absurd level of powercreep.

No, it makes sense within this context. Thank you. I'm learning this as an adult, because no one would have thought me that earlier. My whole life, I always thought I was wrong, and everyone else knew better than me. Now, I see it that no one really has the 100% truth or anything of the matter. You are free to decide, and you shouldn't have to be made feel guilty about who you are, unless it's something that's genuinely bad.

naw

My mother always complains to me and berates me on behaviours that I "should" have or feel, with things like gestures. She always criticize me for not acting a certain way or showing certain gestures- gestures of which I never once related to or felt to do naturally, as she would. I am not her. I don't think, feel or express myself in the same way as her. If I happen to overlook something, she takes it as me being "insensitive" and cold. And even if she happens to be right, it's not like I do (or don't do) any of this on purpose. There was a point in my life where I would constantly feel bad about this, but now I'm not having any of it. That never encouraged me to be a better person, it just made me feel worse about myself, like I'm always wrong and there's something wrong with me for not being like she wants me to be.
