    Power Pros

    in General

    Posted

    I am actually a huge fan of this series. I played Power Pro Kun Pocket 3 about 10 years ago and was hooked (until I lost it.) MLB Power Pros rekindled my interest and since then I've gotten the first 8 in the series and beaten most of them. (I didn't really like 6. :/)

    Anyway, English information for these games is unfortunately pretty difficult to come by. Your best bet would be to find some English-speaking fans and just message them directly. (Not sure where you would find them.) Another option is Googling the names in Japanese and trying to make sense out of the Google Translate Engrish. I don't know much Japanese myself, but I could probably answer basic information and most gameplay questions. (A lot of trial and error type stuff.)

    It's really a shame there haven't been any more English releases or even any translation patches for games in the series. At least the core game is still pretty enjoyable in spite all of that. (Go Swallows!)

    Rate the Unit, Day 5: Cliff

    ITT Mekkah mixes up the names of Robin and Cliff, driving people crazy. Hilarity ensues.

    Anyway, Cliff has the highest upside of the early non-Alm units easily, if not one of the highest in the game. His strength isn't fantastic, but it is good enough with promotion gains in mind and he can easily be any class you want. Still, he is a crappy villager the early moments of the game and his growths do not really work their magic until at least several levels. Eventually though, his combination of speed and defense will make him one of your go to guys mid-late game. Also, gotta love Excalibur and its ability to actually hit enemies on terrain!

    8.5/10 (0.5 bias)

    Thankfully for Robin, you're only as bad as your class's base stats. Obviously he sucks as a villager, but that's not for very long anyways. As a soldier, Robin will still get the automatic awesome attack and defense that comes with the knight and baron classes, or as an archer can always ping some annoying things at a safe distance. As a mage and mercenary, he could spam thundersword or excalibur somewhat decently, but his durability will get in the way a bit. 10% str and def is so so so horrible, but he can do a lot of different things not very well and can probably contribute somehow. 4.5/10

    They're gone as long as she is dismounted. It's worth noting that characters can still cap their stats to 20 when they are unmounted. But, once their mounted stats reach 20 they will no longer be able to increase their unmounted stats when leveling up mounted iirc.

    Oh hah, didn't know about the again staff being so high. I mean, the legendary weapons are like 12, after all, which is absurdly low for most of the cast not named Doga. Kain can use Gradius at level 9/0 bwahahahaha.

    1. Yes, 20 for every non-HP stat. The 20 weapon level is pointless, but it's possible...

    2. Yes, 52.

    3. Yes, Marth can not promote.

    4. Nah, unmounted promoted units lose their mounted promotion bonuses. Try dismounting Jeigan...he's pretty laughable on foot.

    5. Like HP gains, they are raised to the promoted class's base if they are lower, otherwise they do not rise.

    6. Yes, the level cap is 20 before and after like usual.

    Oh, and here, have a Doga shat sheet. Doga.html I have like 16 of these for Book 1 if that's of any help...

    Lowen, what do you folks think of him?

    in Fire Emblem

    Posted

    I like using him a lot for his awesome class and ability to not die, but sometimes I have to pretend Sain and Kent don't exist. His bases are good enough that his 30% str/spd is bearable, if lacking in breathing room for RNG screwage. A Lowen below average in both strength and speed is pretty miserable...

    Wait, so... No one likes Marth?

    in General Fire Emblem

    Can't say much about his personality, but I thought he always held up pretty decently in all his games. People may cry, "can't promote!", but that was barely noteworthy in FE1, not that unusual in FE3, and not terrible in 11/12 because he still got 10 more levels even though he lacked a promotion boost. His growths and rapier probably would make him worthwhile even if he wasn't required to deploy. Not to mention, his inexplicable thief utility...

    Should I focus more on my Lilina or Lugh?

    in Fire Emblem: Binding Blade

    Posted

    I would stick with Lugh here. His stats are a bit better mostly because of his much higher speed and his higher level means he can promote earlier. You could use Lilina too, but you don't get a third guiding ring until chapter 18 and she would not be too great by then. Don't fret too much about the support with Roy. It's a nice bonus but not exactly a saving grace.

    Does anyone remember this notorious member of FESS?

    in General

    Posted

    Yeah, this guy is pretty difficult to forget. He was still a topic of conversation on FESS even after being banned for ages. Fanatical hatred/love for random game characters and crazy views on life in general does it.

    I hate to see Juigi be put in the same category as him, but his reputation is kind of deserved. About seven years ago, I chatted with him in a Advance Wars community and recognized him for some of the FAQs he wrote. He knew so much about the older Wars games (particularly for Gameboy Wars 3, which he was infamous for being so obsessed with. BATTLECARS!) and also along with FE3Player(or whatever he goes by on Serenes nowadays) kind of opened the doors to the Fire Emblem series for me. It was cool talking to him and learning about older and obscure games and stuff, but he just got into so many arguments that were at least half his fault and just could not see from other people's points of view. He definitely made a lot of people mad, but it was still kind of sad to see what became of him.

    Okay, chapter 15. Since I'm kind of bored and raw stats are probably more helpful than vague reviews, I'll give a more in depth update.

    Marth Level 20 HP 36 Str 18 Skl 12 Wlv 9 Spd 14 Luk 20 Def 10

    He's pretty much the only character I can seriously call powerful.

    Doga Level 16 HP 26 Str 10 Skl 10 Wlv 6 Spd 9 Luk 4 Def 13

    He has had an excellent career in walling enemies I don't feel like dealing with and helping level up some...questionable characters. With maps getting larger and enemies becoming faster he will be on the decline.

    Riff Level 1 HP 16 Str 1 Skl 5 Wlv 3 Spd 7 Luk 1 Def 3

    I haven't really bothered leveling Riff since Maric should take care of healing needs after Maric promotes. Still, you don't really need stats to be a decent healer.

    Oguma Level 20/1 HP 36 Str 10 Skl 14 Wlv 19 Spd 14 Luk 9 Def 8

    He started out good then after a while refused to gain anything except HP and wlv and now is just Astoria with more HP.

    Mattise Level 12 HP 22 Str 9 Skl 4 Wlv 15 Spd 8 Luk 5 Def

    Not much to say really. He's mediocre, even more Mattise. At least he can already use the Gradius...

    Marich Level 10 HP 28 Str 1 Skl 6 Wlv 11 Spd 10 Luk 7 Def 4

    He's about as good as he needs to be. Just about everything gets fried by Excalibur and a promotion to Sage will fix his defense problem.

    Roshe Level 20/1 HP 31 Str 11 Skl 14 Wlv 13 Spd 11 Luk 6 Def 9

    I wanted to get him to 20 fast so he could gain some good strength, then get the auto-11 speed after promotion. Unfortunately, my plan failed when he stopped gaining strength and became speed blessed...

    Zaggaro Level 11 HP 24 Str 10 Skl 5 Wlv 5 Spd 8 Luk 4 Def 5

    He's pretty much what I expected. He rapes flying units and is kind of pitiful against everything else. At least he has GODLY 10 strength.

    Wendell Level 6 HP 26 Str 3 Skl 3 Wlv 14 Spd 15 Luk 1 Def 8

    Wendell is one of my favorite characters since he serves double duty as primary healer, weakener with thunder, or even all out killer with Thorron. I just wish he came with a little more luck (enemy characters join with a random luck base).

    Ricardo Level 1 HP 16 Str 3 Skl 1 Wlv 2 Spd 9 Luk 5 Def 2

    I was thinking of using him but the 2 defense made me reconsider. It's hard to ruin thief utility, so I'll still grateful of having him.

    Tomth Level 4 HP 20 Str 8 Skl 6 Wlv 7 Spd 5 Luk 3 Def 12

    He's pretty much worse in every situation where Doga would be useful, and he hasn't really been making much progress. I guess he could use a bit of love. :(

    Beck Level 1 HP 20 Str 6 Skl 4 Wlv 8 Spd 3 Luk 5 Def 14

    He killed OHKO'd two shooters the chapter he joined, but his movement has been too low to do much else. It doesn't help I accidentally brought Jake on a chapter where he would've been useful. >_>

    Astoria Level 4 HP 26 Str 10 Skl 15 Wlv 10 Spd 14 Luk 4 Def 8

    He's Astoria.

    Katua Level 5 HP 20 Str 6 Skl 7 Wlv 10 Spd 14 Luk 6 Def 8

    Katua hasn't been around too long yet, but she's looking like she'll be the star of the team. Oguma has FAILED me on that role.
