What vidya has the most satisfying Critical Attack?
>>324117368
Such a good game, there was something about the archers critical that i always loved too.
>>324117368
>start to get pissed
>about to burst when you realise your unit could die in the next battle
>pulls off a satisfying killer critical hit and survives the chapter
Feels soooo good.
I was just thinking about going back to play this again.
There's something appealing about the old FE art style.
>>324117368
the gba Fire Emblem games were amazing. Still the most satisfying combat animations.
Ys Memories of Celceta had these two features that felt so satisfying to pull off:
>block at the very last splitsecond and you do a flash guard, completely negating damage while the camera zooms in a little. If you keep blocking an ongoing attack (like a laser beam or an enemy attacking you with a string of quick attacks) you keep doing flash guards and you feel like Daigo doing Evo moment 37.
>dodge at the very last splitsecond and you do a flash move, where time slows down for 4 seconds while you move at double speed and do 100% critical rate attacks
>>324117368
Critical hits in Fire Emblem serve only to anger me at least two thirds of the time. I could be the one who gets crit, which sucks. I could crit and be safe because of it, which is nice although it feels like a cop out. However, the most frequent occurrence is scoring a crit for a kill on the defensive phase such that whoever got the crit now has to endure another strong attack and more often than not this results in me resetting.
>>324118026
>just started the game again
>Manage to get lyn and guy in a corner with several Bandits
>Both of them decide "maybe ill let this less than 30% to hit bandit put an axe in my head"
Never get a critical when i need it.

>>324117368
Crono landing a crit is a great feeling
Probably because of the sound effect
>>324118169
I think flash move does not give you crits, just slow motion, but the guard does give you guaranteed crits for like 3 seconds. I've been playing this game the past couple of weeks and I'm pretty certain of this. It's also why I only use flash guard.
>>324117368
Either Swordmaster or Berserker since they get them all the time. Although I also liked Fae's crit
>tfw Rutger gets 100%+ crit chance
>>324118202
Or
>crit when a normal attack would have killed them anyway
>>324118360
you may be right, I was a little iffy on the details since I haven't played it in over a year.
How does Banner Saga stack up against Fire Emblem in terms of mechanics?
I mean pre-Awakening stuff, I didn't care for the support based "character creation" stuff with passing down skills with certain pairings.
More like, in terms of things like class variety, etc.
I know the combat system in general is a lot different. There's an armor system and your HP is also tied to your strength and there are active skills.
>>324117368
Is this the crit with the boob jiggle or the other one?

>>324117887
the way they spin the arrow before putting in on the string and letting it go like it was piss easy? I love them
>>324117887
I think it's the pause/focus. Druid crit gets no love for being menacing as fuck, sadly.
>>324118545
The narrator makes it 100x better.
This Tigrex has 3 more seconds to live.
I like this one

Forgot about druid, that was great too.
>>324118697

I freakin' love the nomad sword crit
>>324118849
which class is that? Doesn't look familiar
>>324118985
Amelia, trainee
>>324118482
Personally, I thought Banner Saga was boring and the combat was uninteresting
There are a bunch of different classes and skills but only a small handful are any fun, the combat just consists of plinking everything to death and your choices don't matter
>>324118985
it's Amelia from Sacred Stones, one of the rookie classes
>>324118975
nicely animated, but cringefest nonetheless
Top 3 crit aninations
1. Sage
2. Bandit
3. Mercenary
Golden Sun, I love how heavy the attacks are in that game
Too bad they ruined the feeling in the DS sequel
>>324118975
Some of these fanmade animations are cool. Who here's hyped for Midnight Sun and Bloodlines?
I always liked the ones in FF VIII.

but my favorite part was the fucking excellent boss fights
Tf2 has the best crits hands down
Fallout 4 :^)
Koromaru's critical hit animation from Persona 3 has always been one of my favorites
https://youtu.be/Hc470x0y5OU?t=1m25s
>>324119493
Something about the sound and the golden slice animation is way too satisfying.
>>324119626
Axe is way more satisfying
>>324118849
Ooooo
This might seem like a weird choice to some but I really like the way Fire Pro does it. A big flash across the screen and then the dude is just completely out.

Actually just started FE7. Never played a FE game. Is there any characters I really should look out for? Only just at Chapter 3 after I got the sword so I'm still really early on but worry about permadeath.
>>324119107
That fucking Jotaro point
>>324119757
Everything looks like trash in the 3DS version though. Even though the 3DS is an undercharged Gamecube, they somehow look like polished N64 models.
>>324120117

sick of this meme
there is nothing impressive about vanillaware's animation
>>324120369
PoR is pretty decent. I've heard RD goes full retard on the story and drops supports, but has some of the best gameplay of the series (perhaps barring Fates, but I haven't heard any direct comparisons).

I just started today as well. Only now finished the fifth chapter.
Word of advice from someone who is bad: the next character you get is frail as hell. Do not let her fight anyone unless you're sure it's a one-hit-kill.
>>324120652
>>324120663
I never said it's bad, it's just that people herald it as "amazing animation" when it's the same tricks canadian flash cartoons use to make shit cheap. It's just easier to mask with pixels.
The visuals themselves are great though.

>>324120592
I played the first 8 or so chapters and dropped I learned it didn't have real supports. I'm considering playing through PoR again and continuing through RD sometime soon.
Thanks for your concern, though.
>>324120825
I have been searching for years for the edit where he just helicopters out of the frame

>>324120686
Yeah heard about the pegasus knight being weak. Think it's worth leveling her up? If it wasn't for the permadeath I would gladly go blind but that shit is scary.
>>324120881
peg knights become gods when they promote
>>324120881
Flying units are very useful once they have a few levels under their belt

>>324119757
The Knights in Fates look cool as fuck at least.
Cool armor, and their crit is a shield bash followed by a stab.
>>324120758
Not him but I still think it should be talked about happily. What's sad is that there were people at Nintendo that needed to be taught how to do pixel art for Mario Maker because a lot of them came to them after they stopped doing it with the DS.

>>324120924

Alright. Are there any classes I should avoid?
i'm about to play FE 6, any good units to look for/use?
We can all agree that wyverns > pegasi, right?
>>324120870
No, I found that one on the fuckhuge archive with official sprites only.
>>324121146
arguably archers
but every class has its place
>>324121112
>>324121019
I have no clue, it looks fine in my folder. This only happens when I post it here. Maybe it's because of 4chan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2afH5wYR4BY
>>324121195
Obviously, but here's the real question:
Wyvern knights or paladins?
>>324120758
Great animation does not preclude artists from using any specific set of materials or styles. The reason why people think Flash animation sucks is because there was so much cheap shit that used zips from pose to pose and didn't use even half of the assets that Momohime's sprite sheet has.
>>324120117Avoid killing Dart at all cost.
>>324121195
>implying
Wyverns are too fat and slow
Warrior crit with axe always looked satisfying as fuck.
>>324121195
Sorry, i like pegasus more. But that is just my opinion.
>>324121337When does he show up?
Damn it now I'm scared about ever person I see. I know if it has a picture they can be recruited but I also hear about how they love walking into enemy bases and die fast.
>>324121285
well, you see, Wyvern Riders are riding on wyverns. This makes them the best class by default.
>>324121146
le arrow man is shit unless mounted
>>324121224
>>324121627
Is there not lot of enemies that use flying mounts? Heard that's what they are most useful against.
>>324121497
Just play and fail without fear, my first time i lost like 4 units and Athos in the last chapter.
I also relied on Marcus untill the end.
>>324121708
sure, but you can kill those with mages too
and mages can actually attack during the enemy phase
>>324121708
just use mages for range, they are literally one man holocaust
>>324121851
Mages can wreck wyverns and viceversa.
But pegasi resist magic unless is wind.
>>324121927
Just use the weapon triangle against them. They have shit for defense anyway
>>324121851
>>324121921
Cool. Alright guess I'll go back and hope for the best. Is there a place to grind if need be or I just have to deal the EXP it gives me.
>>324122010
You're playing 7 right? There are arenas in certain missions that you can gamble moneyand your characters' livesin, but other than that no
>>324122010
just play the game, geez
>>324121497
You can use pretty much any units you come to like and you'll be fine. FE7 isn't difficult. Hard Mode only has 2 or 3 chapters that may be troublesome.
>>324122010
Arenas if you really want. Don't send in a heavy defense unit unless you want them taking Silver weapons to the face, though.
>still have my 7 and 8 carts and a GBA
Fuck you guys for making me want to play this again
>>324121285
Depends on the game to me. 9 times out of 10 i'll take the paladin for the not horrible res
>>324121497
He's in an optional side mission. You can play normally, you will know it when you see him.
Not to be the dota tard but Phantom Assassins crits are fantastic
>>324122269
9 times out of 10 I'll take the wyvern because they can fucking fly
>>324120981
This one is top FE crit in my opinion. The afterimages leaving afterimages is fucking radical.
>>324121994
But dem speed.
>>324122267
It always felt like such shit to promote thieves into Assassins, forcing them to give up what made them unique in the first place. Too bad Rogues suck.
So what was the best critical you've ever gotten in FE
>Sacred Stones
>Set up all units to fight final boss
>Ross gets a 1% critical
>>324119129
Whoa there, is Roy doing the JoJo pose?
>>324122327

>>324119107

>>324117368

Man pixel Fire Emblems had the best sprites.

Raven left such a good impression on me because of that critical animation. It's a shame he couldn't romance with Rebecca because of his butt buddy Lucius

>>324119256
You had to go all the way north until you reach a cave, on the other side there was a town under heavy snow and a serie of quest to get the potion needed to heal that fucking cunt of a tree.

That's about it.
>>324119227
Wait a sec crits are x2 damage...this is impossible
>>324126372
Awakening's animations in general were pretty bland and generic. Even the crits.
At least Fates stepped up its game in that department. It's still not GBA levels of flashy, but some of the animations are pretty neat.
>>324119776
Pretty sure it was the stupid uncool looking armor

>>324120758
and yet people praise it and not canadian cartoon. That proof its good
>>324134940
L'Arachel is such a great character and a great unit
She can level up fast because of endless healing, and then promote and wreck shit up as a Mage Knight (or Valkyre who cares)
>>324132967
Oh god
What's the best way to play these games? My autism prevents me from having anyone die in battle and carrying on.
This nigga and his double magic attacks. Saved my ass many times.
>>324135332
You can either reset when someone dies like pretty much everyone does outside of a Ironman run or pick up one of the titles where you can turn permadeath off. Awakening and Fates are the most recent titles where you can turn permadeath off. Fates even added a Phoenix Mode where units will revive on the next turn if you're truly fucking terrible at the game.
>>324134940
I don't get it.
>>324135658
>Defeat evil
>Only has a healing stave, a healing item and a gem that you can sell for some money
>Her class is a pure healer class
>>324135332
Embrace your autism. Leave no one behind. Bait enemies (always check their attack range and move someone tanky just outside of it) and then follow up with a stronger unit. Basics.
Also, instead of thinking you need to level everyone, focus instead on Lords first, then a small select few to build an unstoppable army.
Also learn how to rescue juggle to save someone in trouble. Marcus is really good for this early game. Later on when you have flying units can fly over water making enemy melee units unable to attack them.
Most levels have a boss and you need to defeat him to advance. He awards a shit ton of experience. Have a weaker unit deliver the finishing blow. Also, if he doesn't have a ranged weapon equipped, take him out with archers or magic.
>>324134940

>>324121497
You'll know him when you see him. Don't try to recruit him, he'll join you automatically if he survives.
>>324118516
It's the other jumping animation that has Lyn's delicious 15-year old boobie jiggle.
>>324126372
The first two GBA games went out of their way to be colorful and flash to compensate for the original GBA's poor backlight.
You can see the different in the very next game, Sacred Stones, which is somewhat more mundane in its new animations and especially its color palette.
Since 3DS already has decent lighting, they don't need to bother making them flashy.
