What's wrong with guy?
He isn't unusable by any means, but he has a high capacity to be RNG screwed in strength, and his low con means he'll be weighed down by almost any sword. Honestly, I'd rather him have 25% strength growth, but start with 8 strength, than 30% and 6.
Had to reread your post, I thought you were saying "What's wrong with this guy?", and I was worried haha.

I always wanted to see a +20 crit bonus. 30 was too high, but 15 was too low.
Though the real nerf had always been the trade-off of playable swordmasters from FE6 to 7. Rutger, obviously good, Fir, good if you have time to raise her, and Karel, pretty good if you have an extra unit slot. Then we end up with Guy, usable with issues, Karel, always outclassed by Harken, and Karla, a joke.

The first post has been updated with new rules, for anyone who may have been iffy on the initial post.
Thank you for reading.

Just give him crit bonus like any other non-sniper, single-weapon-locked class. Giving him a new weapon animation would be nice, but he'd also be original in being the only lord with a class-based crit bonus.
Roy has got a ton of problems though. Late promotion, pathetic stat caps, and doesn't even get a new animation for promoting.
But for sake of the question asked, I'd say lances, if for no other reason than our shortage of non-mounted lance wielders.
-
Radiant Dawn for sure. Love those animations. But Fates has nice ones too. Really, the thing that holds back Fates animations, for me at least, is that they always have to return to their own side of the screen. Just personal preference though, I always loved the "slug-fest" in FE4/5.

Final days to buy PoR.
$60 gets you the game.
$80 for the game, controller and memory card.
$90 for the game, a Gamecube with cords, controller and memory card.
First come first served. If no one makes an offer by 12/16/16, I will be trading it in for store-credit to help finish my Christmas shopping.
The pictures are kind of big as you can see, but every picture I thought would be necessary is in the imgur album.
Thank you for reading, if I need to explain anything else, I'll update this post.

Even though the individual frames are a little off, your animations themselves are impressive. The fact that you made the entire spritesheet yourself is ridiculous to me. There's a reason why all I make are portraits, after the one time I Frankensteined a godawful trainee swordsman class.
The only critique I can understand enough to make is to work on the legs. Your legs that are facing away from the screen tend to look skinnier than the leg facing the screen. Maybe try splicing the legs from a preexisting sprite and making the body on top from scratch like you've been doing, since I think the top halves of your sprites sprites look better than the bottoms at the moment.
That way you can focus on improving a single aspect on your sprites rather than having criticism coming from all sides of your sprites.
Though as I said, I'm terrible with battle sprites, that's just how I'd approach it, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
That all said, I hope you keep spriting, because you're definitely good at animating, and once you get the sprites themselves down to a science, I'd expect some really cool stuff to come out of you.
-
Fir. There's no real reason to use her over Rutger, but I love her portrait and pallet.
-
Ooh, that Forde is cool. Might still make a cavalier anyways, if I'm on a roll after Bartre and Karla I may just sprite for sake of spriting, but if I'm proud of any of them I'll send em your way in case they can fill another spot.
I like that the Forde is distinguished, but will most likely still be kind of carefree and flirty.
-
Soren and Calill are probably the easiest to use, but you can use Ilyana fairly easily if you like her. Don't recommend Tormod as he joins underleveled and will be tough to use if you don't save a lot of BEXP for him.
There's no real answer though, but for ease of use, I'd still recommend Soren and Calill.
-
Do it! Tons of untapped potential, Alm and Celica deserve at least as much attention as Sigurd, Celice and Leif. Lots of recruitable characters who had piddling amounts of dialogue that can be fleshed out into real characters. A world map system that would probably look and function great in current gen.
Not to mention awesome music, obviously awesome since they've reused it in subsequent titles. I would love it if a full sound team reorchestrated Gaiden's soundtrack.
At most for avatars, maybe let us make our own villager, but don't let it shoehorn its way into the main plot.
-
Cool. I don't have a lot of work saved anymore, but I may be able to dredge up the last two mugs I made, since I did them at a LAN center, so they're on a USB rather than my deceased laptop. I'll look for the USB so I can send you an example of my work through pm.
I'll try my hand at Bartre and Karla first, but I might mock-up Forde if I have time, just because I like making cavaliers. If Frozen_Blades does one as well, you can feel free to use mine as another character, enemy, npc, or another cavalier if you like, since they did offer to make him first. But of course, I definitely don't expect you to use him if you already have a Forde and don't need mine for anything else.

Would enjoy a future/space-travel setting. Don't necessarily think it would be a good move on their part, but I'd be interested and would definitely try it. Laser oriented melee weapons, rifles in place of bows. Would be fine with magic sticking around. Mounted units would be replaced with some sort of small vehicle, jet bike or hover board, something like that. HP would be represented by an overshield, for sake of explaining how people get hit with lasers and live.
Would be fine with any setting though, I love SRPGs, but FE has my favorite gameplay of all SRPGs.
Now if you'll excuse me, gonna go draft an idea for a futuristic SRPG with FE style gameplay.
-
In your "what I need" section, do you still want edits/assistance on the portraits marked (complete), or only help with the remaining portraits that have no progress yet?
I might have time and access to a computer tonight.
I think someone else said they were doing your Forde replacement, but I was curious if you wanted him to have the same armor as red cavalier, or his own style, similar to Forde's armor compared to Kyle's. Also is it safe to assume that any characters replacing others will have the same class, ie Bartre and Karla's replacements will be a fighter and swordmaster?
-
I don't really like it, but its not the worst thing in the world. Its just me being an old man hating change. There are legitimate things I dislike about the new games, but if I'm being honest, I don't have a legit reason for disliking pairup. Well, Awakening pairup is broken, and its lame that enemies can't use it.
-
I'm available to play most of the week, so if anyone has me as their opponent, pm me if you want to play our round early.
-
Dark Pit appears to be missing. As far as I can see, he's the only one missing.
-
Oh, how embarrassing. My NNID was actually just CornGuy. It had been so long, I thought I used my Melee tag. Now I'm not sure what other games/sites I used CornGuy on.
Edit: Fine with Saturday btw. I probably have the day off, but even if I don't, I'm sure I can squeeze games in either before or after work.
-
I'd like in on this. I'll edit my post with my NNID later. When we're full on entrants, will we use a schedule, play it all in one day, or just advance the bracket when we're able?
Kinda sad we won't use custom moves, but I know the majority doesn't like them.

This may be too much, but I kind of thought non-ballista bows could have WTA against all weapons. Just as a way to make GBA archers worthwhile without just upscaling their stats, and so that warriors have a good reason to actually raise their bow-level, rather than stick to hand-axes.
I like the idea of blending the trinity of magic with the weapon triangle though. I have my complaints about Fates, but I thought what they did with the weapon triangle was good.
-
So do you want user-submitted saiyans? Will there be a weapons system, or will the characters fist-fight? Wouldn't mind making up a character for you, but I'd like a little more info so I know what you're looking for.
Also, will this story be pre-saiyan genocide? An alternate universe? Or will it coincide with DBZ cannon? -
I will proceed to list every game I've finished;
FE4: Arden. Don't think I need to explain, but just in case, worst movement on giant maps, terrible stats until promotion, which he's unlikely to ever reach.
FE6: Sophia. Almost every unit I recruit will attack, heal, or open a chest before I bench them. At least if I'm playing a team of bad characters, Wendy can be spoon-fed some early kills with triangle attack. Sophia will almost definitely require an arena, boss abuse, savestates, or all of the above.
FE7: Tough call, but its either Nino or Dorcas. Might be personal experience/bias talking, but Dorcas has always had a fatal combination of low speed and defense that keep me from ever using him successfully.
FE8: With no grind, Ewan/Amelia. Ross can be leveled somewhat reasonably in the Bazba chapter, but Ewan and Amelia don't have the same luxury. With grind, I'd say Garcia. Bad stats(by FE8 standards), and not great class.
FE9: Probably Lucia or Bastian. Bad stats, weak skills. There may be a better candidate here, but I've never seen success with these two.
FE10: Fiona. Its sad, because its really just wrong place, wrong time. Meg, Lyre and Vika come close, but at least they get a little use on their joining chapters.
FE11/12: Don't remember too well, but Mathis and Vyland were terrible if memory serves.
FE13: Ricken maybe Say'ri. Never really had a serious run at this game, but I recall not using them much.
FE14: Not really sure still. Orochi seems bad at a glance, but I'm sure someone is worse.
Overall, I would say Sophia. Unpromoted at level 1, halfway through the game, why? My suspension of disbelief wouldn't be affected if she were level 15.

Would you mind posting a pic of Garrus? Curious how he looks, I'd think he'd be a tough plush to make. Not to mention he's #1 husband in that game.
Next FE Game: 3DS, Wii U, or NX?
in General Fire Emblem
Posted
3DS for sake of me being a cheapskate, but NX for sake of getting something new. I mean, I'd be thrilled if it were on the Wii U, I want more games on this console. But sadly, I'm pretty sure BotW will be the next and last game I buy for Wii U.
