As long as you don't lose a speed tie and get hit by Spore from your opponent's Electrode, that should be enough to wipe out an opponent team.

If you give Mew Agility and Spore, nothing except Quick Attack can hit you due to how sleep mechanics work. Although, Mewtwo would still do it better due to higher speed.

tag just in case allen or tre provides literally any explanation as to why nothing has been done regarding numerous reports of harassment and impersonation from fake preston

I wasn't the mod that handled any of those marks so I don't even know which posts or PMs were reported let alone whether the correct action was taken.

IIRC the evidence for impersonation was along the lines of the new person acting differently and not knowing small details the original should have known. Maybe there was more evidence uncovered since then but I think my impression at the time was the evidence wasn't strong enough to ban the account. It might have been different if I remembered the original but I barely interacted with the person and don't really remember them at all.

...Isn't Porygon also its Japanese name

I think Porygon and Polygon would both be written as in Japanese. With that said, I don't recall how Japanese Pokemon merchandise or websites would romanize the name.

The top of the list doesn't really change that much other than Marth no longer getting screwed.

The halfway results just screwed Marth even more. Even when Marth fans rallied behind FE1 Marth, FE1 Marth stayed in 3rd place. However, this tanked FE3 Marth's support and pushed him out of Top 10 male side by 100 votes.

Speaking of vote totals:
CYL1 - 1,279,158
CYL2 - 1,146,842

It only went down a little bit despite the poll only be 7 days long instead of 13. Voting intake will go down each day but I think CYL2 was easily on pace to out do CYL1 if it was 13 days long. We apparently picked up way more new FEH players as voters than the number of casual FE fans we lost.

I don't think they can really do anything else for banners. The announced a new Hero Fest and Legendary Hero banner. We already know when the next new hero banner is from the calendar and its a bit early to show off the Valentines heroes. I guess they could have created a fourth kind of special banner.

Maybe we'll get the CYL results along with it. I wonder if the split votes will have screwed over Marth.

CYL results is a possibility. Vote counting is automatic so they should already have the results. It's really just a matter of timing for releasing them. But I imagine they record these things a bit in advance so maybe they didn't have the results in time.

180 Orbs to get Myrrh which is pretty bad for a 3 character banner where I am sniping on green. It mostly evens out the good luck I had with Micaiah. Unfortunately, Myrrh is -Def. I guess I got 2 Mage Eirika and a Zelgius with good Natures but Myrrh was pretty much the reason I came back. >_>

There's a funny spoiler in this game where you learn that Delta is Zero's real name long before you learn that he's been following around Q Team, so it's easy to trigger that ending in Triangle and greatly confuse yourself. That's what I did anyway.

This happened to me as well. I was not happy when it happened since I was just randomly guessing names at that time and didn't actually have anything figured out.

I remember watching a speed run of F-Zero GX during one of the GDQs. The runner was playing Story Mode on Very Hard using speed techniques the developers probably didn't know about and still only had a few seconds left on the clock when completing some chapters. They then said something along the lines of "if you can beat Very Hard, you aren't a casual". The game doesn't mess around with some of its challenges.

If CYL1 is representative:

Male Side rankings:
0 - 3rd + 9th - 39219
1 - Ike - 33871
3 - Hector - 26557
9 - Takumi - 12662

Female Side rankings:
1 - Lyn - 49917
1.5 - 3rd + 9th - 43031
2 - Lucina - 42875

Marth is getting screwed so badly here. Ike fans are lucky that Ike was ridiculously popular and overcame the self LFF.

Myrrh's art didn't come out until the start of the 3rd day of voting and her stats didn't come out until the start of the 4th day of voting. That's why I said I wasn't sure why Myrrh did so well. She either did quite well on the first two days under her own power or she's going to shoot even higher over the next few days.

Overall, I think I'm really happy with the CYL2 results. Nino making 8th female side is better than I expected. She really might get a Brave variant in a few years. I have no idea how Myrrh went for 122nd overall to 18th female side. Ninian went from 100th over all the 17th female side. Lilina breaks into the Top 20. Micaiah manages to hang on to a Top 10 female side position. Mia hangs on to Top 20 with only her Radiant Dawn votes. Celica is also a strong choice for a Brave variant. Hopefully, things don't change too much over the back half of the voting period.

It's actually hard to say. Ike took first Male side despite the split vote so it didn't matter. For Farfetched Heroes, the top 4 characters were the same regardless of if you combined characters or not. Mia's position would move up among the 4 but that doesn't change the top 4. For the CYL Voting Gauntlet, Marth was snubbed for Chrom despite combined Marth having more votes than Chrom so that's not a good sign.

I have no idea why Intelligent Systems wants to sabotage the face of Fire Emblem but they seem to be intent on doing that.

And I'm on the next/final chapter and the very last NPC I talked to with new text may have done it again! Maybe. I'm not sure. It could be a translation error or I interpreted him wrong. Ah, whatever. This one seems far less important anyway if I'm right about it.

What did they say? Chapter 8 is around where I stopped doing world tours and started focusing on the plot so I'm not really familiar with some of the NPC text changes.

"Trainee boost" is the dumbest thing ever btw since leveling in this game is so trivial.

The Veteran penalty is also kinda silly. Although, unlike the Trainee boost, the Veteran penalty was only given to characters that were in the game from the start.

Even if they wanted to keep things consistent due to Fae, Young Tiki and Nowi getting Trainee status, they could have artificially removed the generic recent unit buff that Myrrh got.
