Best/Worst in the Series: Round 74

[NinjaMonkey]

Please vote for what YOU think is the best AND worst in the series for this round. Failure to vote for both will result in your vote not being counted. 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.

You'll want to fix that, NM...

Anyway...

Best: I'll just say Yumina/Yubello. [/apathy]

Worst: Lethe/Lyre. Dishonorable mention to Lugh/Ray (I think Lugh's all right, but being with Ray drags him down).

Edited January 16, 2011 by Malik Maxwell

[eclipse]

Best: Lugh/Ray

Worst: The Harolds Ephraim/Eirika

Nominate: Best/Worst In-Game Nickname

Edited January 16, 2011 by eclipse

[Silvercrow]

Best: Lakche and Skasaher.

Worst: Eirika and Ephraim.

EDIT: I forgot that Lakche and Skasaher were twins, I thought they were just siblings. Oop.

Edited January 16, 2011 by Silvercrow

[Junkhead]

Best: The hot twins.

Worst: Daniel & Jeorge.

Edited January 16, 2011 by Soul

[Parrhesia]

Latchkey and Skash are the best thing to result from incest. Unquestionably. As for the worst, definitely those idiots from Renais.

[NinjaMonkey]

Worst: Lethe/Lyre.

I know that they are sisters, but twins?

Edited January 16, 2011 by NinjaMonkey

[Junkhead]

But it isn't a product of incest just because Holyn & Ayra share an ancestor. 8[

@NM: Yes, they are.

Edited January 16, 2011 by Soul

[Anouleth]

I know that they are sisters, but twins?

Lethe's younger twin sister, and a subordinate of Ranulf and Kyza. She possesses a straightforward personality, although she is a little spoilt. She is fond of Ranulf, but moreso of her elder sister.

I have no idea how Lyre is supposed to be Lethe's twin and younger than her, though.

[Iris]

List of Twins:

Yumina & Yubello (FE3 & FE12)

Briggid & Adean (FE4)

Skasaher & Lakche (FE4)

Yuria & Yurius (FE4)

Lugh & Ray (FE6)

Ephraim & Eirika (FE8)

Daniel & Jorge (FE9 & FE10)

Lethe & Lyre (FE10)

Am I right? I don't know too much about enemy characters.

Anyways:

Best: Yuria & Yurius. Honorable mentions to Lakche and Skasaher and Lugh and Ray.

Worst: Yumina & Yubello, haven't played FE9 or FE10 too much to judge.

Nominating: Best/Worst Story

[Shadow Mir]

I know that they are sisters, but twins?

According to the character tree in RD, they are. But I'm not sure...

[Junkhead]

I have no idea how Lyre is supposed to be Lethe's twin and younger than her, though.

Twins can be younger or older depending on who is born a few seconds or minutes after or before. :)

[El Rey León]

Best: Lakche & Skasaher, no doubt. Honorable mention to Lugh & Ray, and EPHRAIM & EIRIKA YOU !@#%ING HATERS

Worst: Lethe & Lyre. Dishonorable mention to Daniel & Jorge, and Yumina & Yubello (though I like Yumina, but being paired with Yubello drags her down)

[Radiant Dragon]

Best: Lugh and Ray.

Worst: Paul and Jasmine. They close enough for me. I'll go with Lethe and Lyre if they don't count.

[Galenforcer]

Best: Skasaher and Lakche

Worst: Lugh and Ray

[Narga_Rocks]

I have no idea how Lyre is supposed to be Lethe's twin and younger than her, though.

I know someone answered this for you, but I just have to ask how you expect two people to be born at the exact same time from the same woman. That must have been extremely painful for their mother.

[Anouleth]

Yeah, but even if you're a few minutes apart I wouldn't call that being older or younger.

[Junkhead]

I know someone answered this for you, but I just have to ask how you expect two people to be born at the exact same time from the same woman. That must have been extremely painful for their mother.

I am not 'someone'.

[Thor Odinson]

Best: MY GODDESS and her hot brother Lakche and Skasaher. No competition whatsoever.

Worst: Yumina and Yubello. Same reason as Rey. Yumina's fine. Yubello is... asdf.

[Shadow Mir]

Worst: Yumina and Yubello. Same reason as Rey. Yumina's fine. Yubello is... asdf.

Likewise... For me, Lugh's okay. Ray... Not so much.

[I.M. Gei]

Best: Shashaker/Lakche

Worst: Yumina/Yubello

[Narga_Rocks]

I am not 'someone'.

You think you are nobody? Aw, that's sad. Everyone is someone, Soul. Everyone. Be proud of who you are.

[Junkhead]

You think you are nobody? Aw, that's sad. Everyone is someone, Soul. Everyone. Be proud of who you are.

Well, I am a teenager afterall. :(

[Chalis]

Best: Skasaha x& Lakche

Worst: Lugh & Ray

Nominating Best/Worst body of water.

[Darros]

Best: Briggid and Aideen, theyre . Honourable mention to Yumina and Yubello because Yumina can hold for both of them and she's so and at least Yubello has 50 magic growth.

Worst: Lethe and Lyre.. I guess, I like them all really..
