Othin Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This thread's description bugs me. If someone's been hit by at least 100 attacks that have a 1% crit rate, statistically, the expected number of times they would take a 1% crit is at least 1, making this no surprise. It's not really a matter of luck: it's a matter of playing the games enough for something a bit unusual to end up happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irony Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Never happened to me, I am too lucky for that. . Only been criticalled about 10 times? And most of the time the crits don't kill me.

Xiltas Crysten Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My first time on Ephraim's route (so actually my second playthrough of FE8 at all), the chapter when you fight Vigard at the capital of Grado: already restarted various times because of berserk staff or I missed Rennac or chests... I finally made it to Vigarde, got everything I wanted, nearly beat him... when he 1%critted falco knight Vanessa. I was so mad that I decided to just let her die.

Original Alear Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not only has it happened, it's happened a fair number of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) This thread's description bugs me.

It's not really a matter of luck: it's a matter of playing the games enough for something a bit unusual to end up happening. But that's not how it works, statistically. The game first calculates hit before calculating crit, so unless all of the attacks were 100%s, it should not happen in 100 attacks. Also this is assuming the numbers are truly random, which they're not; I suspect the actual chances of getting a 1% crit RN are much lower than the basic odds would tell us.

Noktra Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Can't remember any special 1% crits right now (beside the obligatory arena ones in FE7 lol) but they do happen to me... a lot... One thing I remember very well though... PoR, knight Gatrie blocking the way of one enemy hellebardier enemy had arounf 57% accuracy, 2% crit and was doubling gatrie, but with laughable dmg ... Gatrie would easily survive even a double-critical from the enemy and I was like: lol, 2% crit and a double-crit in one single fight, likely not going to happen... guess what? enemy turn: double-crit! ... I was rather annoyed... then I recognized I couldn't heal Gatrie this round... well Gatrie would survive even one more critical and a normal hit... so... 2% crit? double-crit in one single fight yet again? not very likely.... .... I thought.... >___>; (critted 4 times in a row with 2% chance and around 57 accuracy.... *rage*) I have a rule for myself regarding Fire Emblem games... If the game CAN kill you, it will shit on the odds and DO so.... (I remember my Amelia getting owned by 4 skeletons once... the skeletons had accuracy rates of 3%, 4%, 7% and 11% ... hit ratio - displayed hit! - hit! not crit chance! and they would only kill amelia if all 4 of them would hit.... guess what....)

Shin Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 After all sorts of horrible RNG, you do forget individual instances, I'm still grumpy about Sigurd's death to 1% hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Sage Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 yeah I remember one. RD 4-3 Sage had a 50% to hit Naesala with a 1% crit chance. the sage crits and Naesala dies. ragequit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Haven't seen an enemy crit with a 1% chance, but I've seen my own characters crit with that percentage. In fact, Boyd did in my current playthrough of PoR. :P I've also seen enemies crit with 2% and higher.
