Best/Worst in series: Round 42

[NinjaMonkey]

Please vote for what YOU think is the best/worst in the series for this round. The round will last for about a week or so, after which I will tally the votes, and will add the top three to a list in the opening post of the next topic.

It would be nice if you nominate ideas for when I'm out of them. I'll keep track of the nominations. Please nominate only once a round. You may nominate for idea that have already been nominated.

Please remember to nominate. Also, if your vote is not for one person/thing/etc, it will be thrown out. Your vote will also be thrown out if the FE game it is from is not stated if it is needed. This is mainly to avoid confusion.

If you excessively complain about the results of previous rounds, you will not be allowed to vote in these topics for a period of time that will be determined later. A list will be kept of those who will not be allowed to vote, and how many rounds until they can vote again.

Best: Pugo (FE10)

Worst: Greil (FE9)

[Integrity]

Ooh, my my my.

Best would have to be FE8's O'Neill. He's got the balls to attack SETH, for fuck's sake.

Worst is FE9's Greil. You beat him with a wooden sword after he kicks your ass anyway.

[riariadne]

ROUND 42

I have to say best is FE9 Greil. Yeah, I know, he just owned you, but he lost to prove a point.

Worst is FE8 O'Neil. He cheats by making Seth not double him in the pre-rendered Easy Mode cutscene.

[Krad]

Best: Damas (FE6).

Worst: Lawrence (FE3 Book 2).

[Life]

Best: Wire (FE7). Guy has the balls to attack Hector while our hero has an armourslaying weapon with WTA on him. That takes balls.

Worst: DiMaggio (FE4). Even fucking Ardan can beat him.

[El Rey León]

Best: Batta the Beast Iunno... O'Neill, I guess

Worst: Lawrence.

You don't even fight him! He just gives some exposition and explodes. =p

[AstraLunaSol]

Best: Lawrence FE3, He fucking EXPLODES

That is manliness

Worst:...Yeah FE9 Greil

Isn't the first boss in FE7 Batta the Beast?

[Shadow Mir]

Isn't the first boss in FE7 Batta the Beast?

He's the first boss in the tutorial.

Best: Lawrence FE3. He EXPLODES. The ultimate in manliness.

Worst: O'Neill.

[Emblem Lugh]

Best: Lawrence Wiseman (FE5)

Worst: Greil (FE9)

[Methan0n]

Best: Lawrence, because manly explosion wins.

Worst: O'Neil

[El Rey León]

I'm sorry, how is exploding manly? He has a broken weapon so he can't provide a challenge if you choose to fight him. When you talk to him and he reveals he was wtfpwned, tells asks you to protect Yumina and Yubello, than explodes. For no reason. Lawrence isn't a man. He's a miserable pile of secrets.

[Parrhesia]

BEST; Groznyi. Awesome name, more awesome beard.

WORST; Greil. He is an embarrasment to Heroes everywhere.

[Methan0n]

I'm sorry, how is exploding manly?

There's your answer. Who cares he got curbstomped, he FUCKING EXPLODES

[AstraLunaSol]

Actions count too, by exploding he's giving FE3 THAT much more depth in story, than if he is normally killed. stat whore.

Plus he has a beard.

Edited June 6, 2010 by AstraLunaSol

[Killer Poleax]

best: the first boss in FE10. it takes 3 unpromoted units to kill him

worst: FE8 first boss cause Seth can own him easily and Eirika can kill him easily too

[Mikethfc]

Best: Greil

Worst: O' Neil

Honourable mention to Lorenz and not just because he looks just like Big Boss/Solidus

Edited June 6, 2010 by mikethfc

[Ϲharlie]

Best: Lawrence. Fuck the stupid exploding, Lawrence fought to better his country and continued to do so even after he lost his allies. Hell, the man is extremely old (older than Jeigan I think), wounded, and fighting with a broken weapon.

Worst: Batta the bitch. He gets beaten up by Lyn.

[Zkirsche]

Best: Greil. Remember folks, he had disclipline on ;)

Worst: FE10 Pugo. Generic bandit with a genereic name.

[Deliriyum]

Best: FE11 Gazzak

Worst: FE9 Greil

[Rewjeo]

Best: Lawrence

Worst: SD Prologue boss. He doesn't even get a name and fails pitifully to Marth. Even after he's cut through all his buddies without a chance to heal.

[Biabarr]

Best: Lawrence the exploding old dude

Worst: O'Neil

[BrightBow]

Round 42? Yay!

Best: O'Neill (FE8)

"Do you think you can take me, wretched lording? Come! It's time you high-and-mighty knights learned to respect a true warrior!" *attacks Seth*

Worst: Lawrence (FE3, Book2)

Using a broken lance in battle might not be such a good idea.

Edited June 7, 2010 by BrightBow-User

[Moss-Head]

Best: FE8. He attacked Seth! OMG!

Worst: FE10. He doesn't even have a name! (Snicker)

[NinjaMonkey]

Worst: FE10. He doesn't even have a name! (Snicker)

You mean Pugo?
