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.

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

Never get a critical when i need it.

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.

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.

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.

and mages can actually attack during the enemy phase

>>324121708
just use mages for range, they are literally one man holocaust

>>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.

Arenas if you really want. Don't send in a heavy defense unit unless you want them taking Silver weapons to the face, though.

>>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.

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.

>>324137876

So /v/ which class would you choose upon promotion?

Unless this is a GBA game and the devil axe exists. Axe rank can go fast with that.

Amelia and Ewan are pretty much unusable without some kind of grinding, which makes them both garbage.

the quality gap in map design between the two campaigns is ridiculous. chapter 10 of Nohr was pretty fucking wild; why couldn't they design cool maps like this for the weeb side instead of shitty Awakening 1.5 maps?

the lack of grinding also means they actually had to try balancing it so it wasn't retarded like Awakening Lunatic

In a similar fashion, nothing quite compares to a sweet-spotted, fully-charged Smash attack in Smash Bros. That, or a PK Thunder II into the other three combatants with five seconds left in the match.

>>324140631
I choose the one that most fits the character.

>>324142492
I can concede to Amelia, even though you're still giving up literally the best general.

But Ewan can at least snipe kills from afar, and easily level up that way. Dark magic is strong, and knorr has god awful luck and god awful stats, meaning Ewan is the best druid in the game as well (and literally the only other one)

Jesus fuck. For how often I play and replay these games, I never noticed that they literally spin under the horse. That's sick.

Not really a critical hit, but Paper Jam's new attack's are fucking brutal and satisfying to pull off

I can't find the full animation, but in the Giant Luigi Bro's Move, Luigi runs and hammers the enemies and Mario into the air

And then Mario basically GRINDS THE FUCK OUT OF THEM, to the fucking ground on landing

Fallout 1/2

Spoilers for future units names I guess, but every named unit in the game that isn't a boss is generally recruit able, so not really spoilers

Both Hector and Canas can carry the fuck out of the run, especially on the final level

Since you're new, units that generally turn out great are Sain, Kent, Raven, and Oswin. They're all gonna be very survivable and easy to use.

There are squishier units like all the Pegasus units, Heath, and Guy; though they will take more care to keep safe. If you can get them going they turn out pretty well too.

Pretty much pick anyone you like or who starts getting good levels ups and you'll be fine. Most prepromotes are gonna end up weaker, so it's better if you have units from early on to keep leveling.

Only use Marcus as a lifesaver
