LET'S PLAY SOME ADVANCE WARS
>How do I play?
1.- Download and extract www.mediafire.com/download/35cct9gh28jc9qa/
2.- Double click mednafen.bat
or just drag and drop "aw2.gba" into "mednafen.exe"
3.- Press Alt + Shift + 1 to setup your controls. (At every unique button prompt, press the key you want to assign it to TWICE so it moves on towards the next button).
4.- To connect to an active server, press T to type /server IP PORT or /connect IP PORT
5.- So we can tell you apart, press T to type /nick YOURNICKNAME
6.- Play the fucking game.
If you join a session with people on it, ask if there's any available open spots. If so, type:
/dupe 1
to share the control. I know this is 4chan, but don't be a dick and take control or move other people's units when it's not your turn.

>6 fucking FE characters in Smash
>0 AW character
>>320762279
the game apparently accidentally reset. Not sure if others have an ending screenshot.
>>320763132
i know that fee
>>320763145
can you fix this?
>>320763132
literally why aren't there any AW characters in Smash?
>>320763508
>sakurai
>>320763508
IS has forgot the series. It's also not popular, so why waste a slot?
With crossover games like this, you should put a character from AW, for instance, and then if the character got popular, you'd put the game on eShop, and thus get new players for your game, so it's a win-win. But instead they use Smash to just advertise popular games even further, which is kind of meh.
>>320763730
back during melee, no one had heard of the FE characters
Perhaps it's been since then that Sakurai uses Smash to advertise already popular games.
>>320763901
That's only outside in Japan, but you have to keep in mind that most Japanese people care much more about the Japanese audience, and every other audience is not as important by far. At least that is how it usually goes.
WELL LOOKS LIKE THERE IS ROOM FOR SOME ADVANCE WARS TO BE PLAYED ON OMACHI
new stream when!?
>>320765197
stream is ded
Git in here, /v/. We need 2 more for a 2 v 2.
>tfw /v/ doesn't want to play with you ;_;
is this legal?
>>320766232
Busby used SNES!!
>>320766232
super illegal
>>320766232
Who cares? Nintendo would have to acknowledge the property actually exists in order to attack anyone over this.
>>320752160
>Most complete version of the game.
That's not Days of Ruin.
>>320768297
DS has a war room though.
>>320768297
/v/ can barely tread water in AW2. Can you imagine what them playing Days of Ruin would look like?
>>320768643
It's the same game.
>>320763901
FE was pretty popular in Japan though. Japan loves Marth.
>>320769083
They're enormously different in how they handle. Days of Ruin is the Melee of the series, whereas 1/2/DS are more like Brawl/4.
>>320769989
>screencapping and reposting a gamefaqs thread
>>320770326
It's too much hassle to write it out myself every thread.
>>320769989
>everyone plays the same capture phase until you meet in the middle and resolve
Well, yeah, how else would you play the beginning of such a game?
I don't agree with most of that forum post. In AW2 (the game I've played the most), I do notice significant variation between the COs.
As for army composition, of course it should be 2/3 infantry. Do you really want meme COs that just spam one kind of unit other than infantry? Even with Grit, who's gonna build lots of rockets and shit, he's gonna want to obviously make infantry, too. Would you really want him to be able to just make rockets and succeed? That would be a boring game.
>>320771756
This pretty much. COs like Jess and Max would have more direct units, while Sami and Sensei have more mechs, etc.
>>320771756
The guy in the post isn't exactly wrong, but I don't think the problem lies in the COs as much as it does with unit balance in general. Infantry and artillery have time and time again been proven to be the best units in the game because there is very little that can beat a good artillery line. Give people a reason to buy other units and you'll see the gameplay becoming drastically more varied between COs.
Kinda makes me want to hack the game and replace all the current units with DoR units and leave all the COs intact and see how that plays out.I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already done this.
>>320773090
No one buys just infantry and artillery except in memes.
>>320751213
>mediafire
Can someone re upload to firedropper?
It's getting cold, isn't it?
>>320773090
Days of Ruin has the option to play as no CO. It doesn't work out very well. It's the CO system that rewards people for playing aggressively. The units/damage formula/veterancy alone aren't enough to keep it from degenerating into infantry/artillery spam, and because artillery are actually more durable in DoR than in the previous games, it's even harder to break through walls once they're set up properly.
ROLLIN FOR DIAGONAL
