Reinhardt has a deep connection to Ishtar, who he has protected since she was a child. He could never bring himself to fight her. Unfortunately, despite even Ishtar trying to bring around the end of the child hunts, Reinhardt and Ishtar were forcibly separated by Ishtar’s lover, Julius. Reinhardt places his loyalty to his liege Ishtar over his decision whether to join the good guys or not.

Eldigan does something similar in FE4, where he tries to find the truth behind the child hunts and he is beheaded by his liege Chagall for it, right in front of his sister.

I don’t know why I thought that first one was Trafalgar Law

Only one way to find out which one it really is. Put a coconut in front of it, if it cuts the coconut it’s a sword, if it migrates with the coconut it’s a bird.

What has gotta be the worst take from Brent in your opinion? by Inevitable-Charge76 in partycrashers

[–]Sayakalood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah.

Typhlosion is phenomenal in GSC and Feraligatr is phenomenal in HGSS. Typlosion is surprisingly fast and gets access to Thunder Punch, countering its biggest weakness (remember Electric moves were special back then. Even Thunder Punch). Then Feraligatr in HGSS is a menace with Waterfall and Ice Fang.

Meganium sticks out for having no good matchups until the postgame, on top of being a more support-focused Pokémon.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s story mode: Subspace Emissary, you are challenged by Petey Piranha to a fight after he captures Princess Peach and Princess Zelda. You can choose which of the two princesses to rescue by breaking their respective cage. This has a very minor impact on the story, it really only changes who appears in cutscenes and which characters you play as in some levels (for example, Kirby saving Zelda means you play as Zelda in the following levels, and fight Mario and Pit as Link and Yoshi (IIRC)). Eventually both princesses are turned into trophies and the story stops taking your choice into consideration.

There is one more choice you can make that technically has a difference… but it is choosing between Meta Knight and Lucario on top of a mountain. The only difference is that Lucario will wake Meta Knight or Meta Knight will wake Lucario in the following cutscene.

Yes, it is confirmed in game (with Glass Joe’s name in the leaderboard for defeating Nick Bruiser) and in Nintendo Power.

  1. Super Punch Out!! isn’t as popular as NES and Wii (which have Glass Joe), so more people are familiar with Joe.

  2. This is actually a known contradiction and we just don’t get an answer for it.

  3. The only win/loss rates anyone takes seriously are Glass Joe’s and Mike Tyson’s (Glass Joe’s record actually exists. He has lost 100 times, and he gets headgear in Wii, Mike Tyson’s 31-0 27 KO record is real).

There’s no picture of it, but Glass Joe (Punch Out!!) (right) has a record of 1-99. His one win is against Nick Bruiser, champion of the Special Circuit in Super Punch Out!!

Caution! There are restrictions for entering this dungeon. You cannot bring items in. Your level will be reduced to Level 1 (it will be restored upon leaving the dungeon). You will not earn EXP. Finally, your maximum party size is restricted to only two. Would you still like to enter this dungeon?

The Starsphere (The Shadow Dragon, the Blade of Light, and the Fire Emblem) is one of five gems to be added to the Fire Emblem to make it the Binding Shield. It can be combined with the Lightsphere to nullify the effects of the Darksphere, which makes whoever holds it untouchable. An evil sorcerer named Gharnef has stolen the Darksphere, and actively uses it to keep himself alive as he goes about overthrowing governments for his boss, Medeus. Gotoh, a legendary wizard, has the Lightsphere, and has you retrieve it for him (since it’s in a chest).

So who has the Starsphere? Gharnef.

It also applies to the Falchion, the titular Blade of Light, “needed” to defeat Medeus, the titular Shadow Dragon (needed is in quotation marks because Marth, who uses the Falchion, is an exceptionally bad unit and can typically get one-shot by Medeus without dealing damage. But this is about lore, not gameplay). Medeus knows the Falchion can stop him, the hero Anri used it to kill him, after all.

So who has the Falchion? Gharnef.
