  1. I'm thinking about getting a new 3DS and getting a Capture Card for my current one. However, I'm not 100% sure what it does, or what it costs for that matter. Is it true that the Capture Card allows you to stream to your computer from your 3DS and take screenshots? If so, that's what I'm looking for.

  2. In that thread someone linked a cleaner version. I like how they filled in some of the holes and fixed inconsistencies in coloring and tiles between the maps. Props to the creator, it looks like it could have taken a long time to recolor the maps. New update coming your way tonight, school internet is slow today.

  3. Alright, if the run's that optimised, then RIP, but at least it's nice for a safety strat I suppose. I doubt Awakening would ever get into GDQ though, it's a very uninteresting speedrun to actually watch if you're unfamiliar with it due to the enemy phase skipping (no offence).

    I suppose so. I think that an Awakening run in that category would be more of a showcase, so rather than skipping enemy movements, just speed them to max?

    Smaller marathons are cropping up every day, though, so maybe someone will run it in one of those?

    Maybe, I'd love to show off this game some day on a bigger stage than Twitch someday.

  4. Unless I've misunderstood the routing, the entire run ends if Anna doesn't spawn with a Second Seal by a certain point no? I don't know how competitive the time is on this category right now, but is it really so optimised that the possible time spent on a single spotpass map in order to guarantee the seal after chapter 4 completely removes any chance of achieving a WR?

    It very likely does. I didn't know about the renown gains until now, thanks Kuroi, but I suppose that an extra tome purchase and whalloping a weak Spotpass team could secure a run in a no-reset situation like GDQ.

  5. Not sure what you mean about the Renown thing, but for this category I think it's better just to reset until a favorable Anna appears. Otherwise, 1 hour plus is likely your time.

    While you're here, why not give me another Avatar to trauma- er, run with?

  6. Did you happen to learn it from Indy Kenobi? I tend to watch his runs from time to time (although, he's been on break from it since getting that sub-37). The reason I usually tack on "No Extras" when I'm talking about it is to preempt people from asking about DLC or Renown (which, despite you guys putting it under New Game+, other people won't necessarily know, especially given that I've seen people come into the stream and ask about exactly those things).

    And yeah, now that I know what you're running, I guess Javelins wouldn't be very viable (I may also have some bias for putting extra stock in it since it gets me past Aegis+), especially since I don't think I've ever seen him reset over having too low Mag.

    Yes, I did. I followed every FE game on Twitch and that's how I ran into him. Since at this point I'm not timing myself, I'll take the Renown Second Seal so I can practice the route if a favorable Anna doesn't show.

    Having too low MAG is easily fixed. Hope for a Spirit Dust Anna, use Magic Tonics, or Second Seal back to Lv. 1 DF. Your run won't be very good if you have to resort to that, though.

    Renown isn't NG+ though, the lower levels of Renown are accessible on your first run due to the low amounts you need in order to obtain those items. 5 maps guarantees a Glass Sword. 10 guarantees a Second Seal.

    I suppose so, but unless the runner uses a fresh cartridge, Renown will be carried over.. It simply wouldn't be worth the time invested in 5 maps for the free Second Seal.

  7. STR is only needed for Chapters 7 and 8 in this run. Every other chapter in the game requires as much MAG as possible, partially for tome conservation, and especially earlygame and for Grima. I'm doing Any% no Extras Normal/Classic). It's usually stylized as Any% Normal, since using Renown, as far as I know, would go under New Game+, and the Classic/Casual choice means nothing. I, as well as the speedrunner I learned the route from, go for Classic so it looks more legit, I guess. I might do some New Game+ at some point, but it requires nothing but Renown grinding to max on one file and BSing your way through Ch. 3. After that, you can buy DLC Micaiah, and that'd be game over. Hard and Lunatic any% would probably be what I'd look into next for Awakening, though I'd like to stream something. Since my 3DS hasn't been modified, I'd likely go for Thracia because it looks interesting, or one of the GBA ones for practicality.

    /end ramble

  8. It's not a reskin, they have to be separate classes in the game data for it to work. Sharing a lot of resources is still possible, though- a lot of classes share animations.

    Ah, yeah. Iirc Anna has a pot on her head like Donnel, so that's sort of what tipped me off.

    Sorry, Forceman! I misunderstood your question. Hacking FE13's code hasn't progressed very much yet, so we don't really know.

    I suppose this will be a question for Vincent to answer once he's gotten deeper into the code. Thanks anyway!
