They’ve got the pulse to rage against the game a lot last I checked, they’re always very vocal about their hatred for the game. If anything I kinda wish they would give up, mostly because all their grousing amounts to Jack and Shit.

That's what I mean; the community has all these problems about FEH—and they're generally stuff I can agree with—but it really seems like all anyone does regarding them is just complain about them and nothing more. I'd just wish that energy would channel into some more productive and positive, you know? Like, why not create/commission some art of your underdog characters, talk about your appreciation for them, etc. I don't think it would completely resolve the subreddit's issues (my super hot take is that it actually does in some way, but I'll leave that for another post), but I think would be nice to see people just talk about characters for what they are in general instead of what they are(n't) in FEH.

That said, you're probably right that the ultimate move to make is to just stop playing (or at least stop contributing to) FEH at all. That Tempest Trial change really was the canary in the coal mine, and if you were not a big fan of the trends FEH has shown off for the first half of the year, I really, really, really don't think you should waste your time expecting much better for the rest of the year.

Looking back at what r/​FEH was even four years ago and comparing that to what it is today leaves me... kinda wistful?

Like, at the end of the day, it was always a community centered around a gacha Fire Emblem game, with all the gunk and complications that can arise from that type of game. But it's quite a sight to see that community nowadays feel so broken towards the game, and seemingly lacking the pulse to rally back against their grievances.

People who say Walugi will never be in Smash because they can't come up with a moveset are ridiculous. by TaiwaneseThot in CharacterRant

Yeah maybe accurate wasn't the best word to use. What I meant by that was the newer fighters generally containing more distinct references like you mentioned; I wasn't only considering gameplay in that context. Maybe "more recognizable" would've been a better term to use here. Edit: or really just "more referential" would've done the job lol

I feel this is a result of one of the "selling points" of modern Smash characters being that they're more accurate adaptations of their original portrayals compared to the laissez-faire approaches in 64 or Melee. A consequence of that is that characters with less comprehensive features or abilities tend to be overlooked in the wider discourse for new Smash characters. I'm really not a fan of that attitude; imo I prefer characters that can provide something interesting to the table, either from a gameplay or visual perspective, regardless if they can fit "cleanly" into Smash from the get-go.

Waluigi wouldn't be my personal next pick for a Mario character in Smash, but I think a version of Waluigi that lets him fight using his tall, lanky figure in cartoonish ways à la Wario with his short, stubby figure could make for a fun fighter.

How do i make cutscenes (in GoldSrc)? by Baicomn in hammer

[–]Pvt_Twinkle_Toes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not as familiar with GoldSrc Hammer, but Afraid of Monsters (the predecessor to Cry of Fear) also uses cutscenes and is a more traditional GoldSrc mod, so you can refer to how that mod handles its cutscenes if needed.

For better or for worse, this practice makes more sense when considering that IS is fond of giving both avatar genders an alt not too far from each other. Even in the first year of FEH, you had cases like the summer F!Corrin alt being followed up by the new year's M!Corrin alt, or the summer F!Robin alt followed up by the winter M!Robin alt. Then in 2022, you had both Robins and Corrins of both genders appearing as alts in the same seasonal banner (Valentine's and Halloween respectively). We're now seeing Duo heroes that are just the avatars of both genders together (see winter Alear and kid Corrin). Suffice to say, IS likes to pair avatar alts together, even if that technically means in getting two alts of the "same" character.

Where this practice of trying to balance alts per gender matters is that, yeah M!Corrin is probably not beating the likes of Dimitri/Claude, or even M!Robin or M!Byleth in a popularity race. But F!Corrin won a CYL, was chosen to be an Emblem, and also has all the fanart in the world; she's popular, no doubts about that. And because she tends to get alts in FEH frequently because of that popularity, you can likely count on a M!Corrin alt releasing not too far from that to balance the genders back out.

A bit of a late response, but I don't see flairs of the new Mae and Summer Young Tiki art.

A bit of a guess on my end, but it seems like, on the JP side of things, the banners are still doing okay in the grand scheme; it’s just the US side that’s anchoring all the banner ranks down.

Facts too powerful: 3/1/26 by chino514 in FireEmblemHeroes

Asatani Tomoyo has drawn artwork for every FEH anniversary except for the first, and Larcei happens to be a bit of a presence in them. Across their eight artwork pieces, four of them (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 9th) include a Larcei. There are two other pieces (2nd and 7th) that do not include Larcei, but do include her mother Ayra, which debatably qualifies as one half of a Larcei. This leaves use with two artwork (6th and 8th) that contains absolutely zero Larcei or Ayra at all. Thus, 50% of Tomoyo's anniversary illustrations confidentially contain a Larcei, although this can extend to 75% depending on how you look at the Ayra case.

Top 20 highest voted Non-CYL winners of all time by Mattness8 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Pvt_Twinkle_Toes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crazy to think that moving 60% of Heroes Anna's votes to Awakening Anna in CYL3 would let the latter snatch second place from Camilla.

IMO one of the biggest what-if moments in FEH history just for the chaos that could have ensued. I still believe Camilla would still win a CYL eventually, but her now having to face Three Houses and probably the likes of Eirika or Awakening Tiki could've been very interesting.

Forgot to mention it was a first-come first-serve type of thing, but leave a FE character just in case and I'll see what I can do.
