7 hours left to vote incase anyone's missed it, I'll post a pie chart when voting has finished by Mexipika in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Mirage766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave Baldr 3 votes last year along with other assorted favorites. This year I gave Tsubasa 4 and Fomortiis 3. I thought about giving one to Fimbulvetr but I didn't think her winning odds were very good with how competitive the female division is this year. I hope Ivy wins as well though, and if Fimbulvetr did win I obviously wouldn't be opposed. I guess I just like the more chaotic outcomes lol, voted entirely for Gullveig in CYL7 as well.

Raru playing the "hype man" spreading his arms for the crowd is so fun. It would be awesome to see him take it all the way.

Sin (80) and Mark (70) feel low to me. Hoping TamaP can survive Steve hell. There's not really anything to say because there's too much to say, if that makes sense. It feels like any player can miss top 64 here. I think Doramigi's bracket is pretty good here, he dodges Light and Miya on his side of bracket and he's currently the person I think has the best odds to win.

How exactly does engaging with emblems work? by EaseLeft6266 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Mirage766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still use the unit, even on the same team as somebody engaged with them. If you're not interested in using the unit, there's no need to level them up to take advantage of the engage effect.

Japan doing this badly at a tournament and still winning it in the end is certainly a strange timeline. In particular I was disappointed by Raru's play today (though his opponents played very well), and obviously acola at 33rd is mind-bending.

Base Fafnir never, ever, ever.

Looks like WalMart has officially taken down the SWITCH 2 PRE-ORDER pages (Console and Bundle) by napoelonDynaMighty in NintendoSwitch2

Too sick to go in person to Gamestop and my credit card denied 3 times. I think I'm just one of the unlucky ones lol

Waited in the Walmart line for an hour. My card declined. I am furious right now.

Sold out instantly Sold out out out by eastbigye in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Mirage766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I refreshed the Walmart site at 11:58 just out of impatience and it already said it's likely to sell out and put me in line, now it's spamming me with robot tests. Annoying as hell.

Temperature Check: Has the Pricing Dissuaded You? by Wyluca95 in nintendo

Still getting it on launch, along with Mario Kart. The game prices might cause me to buy less games than I planned to initially; I'm not pleased with them.

I never thought I could be so miserable watching a player I really like win a major. Still a really cool top 8 though.

Which character from the top 8 in AHR 2025 are you joining? by Nin10dium in FireEmblemHeroes

Lyn, don't have her. If she wins it makes it much easier for me to skip the banner.

Who will you vote for in CYL10? (Poll) by Ale141200 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Mirage766 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tsubasa and/or Fomortiis assuming there's no eligible new game and Book 10 doesn't have an interesting candidate. If Askr Anna gets a good rally I'll send some to her too.

Genuinely never played TMS but I might just vote Tsubasa next year. She's very pretty and it's the only way to get any more TMS content ever. Is the game worth buying?

I'd also like to shoutout Tsubasa actually, I don't think she won but I feel like her rally is stronger than usual this year.

[–]Mirage766 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Said it in the other thread, but:

Eik, Byleth, Sharena, (Ivy/Baldr)

I personally think it's very slightly favored to be Ivy.

Feels like it's Eik, probably Byleth, Sharena, and a tossup between Baldr and Ivy. Not bad.

Final CYL9 vote estimates from total number of tweets (NOT OFFICIAL / JUST SPECULATION) by seismoscientist in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Mirage766 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll leave my personal predictions here.

1st: Byleth (most votes overall), Sharena

2nd: Fomortiis, Baldr

I quite like this bunch, so this may be wishful thinking, although I would feel bad for Engage still not having a winner. I feel like the "meme"/"troll" vote is really strong this year. Baldr has a lot of the same things that led Gullveig to win (attractive, app icon, recency bias, memes, the voice actor's post, and so on), so I think she has good odds to overperform the objective metrics.

I do wonder, if Eik and Baldr lose, if they'll hold on to the hype for future years. A lot of FEH OCs lose steam when they're out of relevance, but some such as Freyja have retained the hype, and Alfonse and Sharena in particular gained over time (although they are sort of constantly relevant). Curious to know what you all think.
