Super Smash Bros trailer reveals Captain Falcon and then doesn't showcase any of his moves. I mean, I know he's been in all of the previous games so we should really know what to expect from him, but I still wanted to see him smash something.

*sigh*

Not sure how I feel about Lucina and Robin though. I think I'm just too excited for LITTLE MAC at this point. Hype Hype Hype!

ALSO HAPPY MONDAY. (Although I'm really starting to get the impression here that no one here really likes Mondays.)

Listen. LISTEN.

I know yes we had the cinematic trailer where he was doing stuff, but I wanted him to actually see him in game.

Wave why must you make things hard for me?

Fire Emblem isn't really a tactics game. It is more of a trial and error game where the player faces unforeseeable obstacles and difficulties and the only way to beat the game is through mapping the obstacles after encountering them then start from the beginning all over again.

Don't get me wrong, it is not as bad as some other games (Yggdra Union is far more guilty of this), but to call Fire Emblems a tactics game is a bit far fetched.

People don't really do actual gameplay trailers anymore. It's all either cinematic or heavily scripted to the point of conveying nothing.

Yggdra Union is an Atlus game, which could be considered a genre of its own, lol.

Yggdra Union definitely looks like a tactics game. From the layout, to things like the weapon triangle.

But I feel tactics games should be like puzzles. The player should be given all the information and be asked to solve the problems - instead of showing the player only partial information and smash the player later on with nasty surprises.

Also I feel tactics games should have no critical hits. At least no RNG based crits.

See:

FE: reinforcement mechanics, especially in FE6 and 10
FE: black box stats growth
Yggdra: MVP mechanics and stats cap
Yggdra: critical hits (probably the most bullshit thing I have ever witnessed in a game)

Titan should crush Newbee


It's not like Titan did so much better(1 game), and Newbee destroyed the tiebreaker group, and are a great series team(Xiao8 drafts). Newbee probably going to destroy Titan(game 1 is a devastation as I type this) and NaVi and have a bloodbath series with iG for winner bracket slot.

I'm sorry friend. You guys went so fast in the Off-Topic thread on Sunday going on about fighting game HYPE that I gave up trying to catch up. You guys were too much for me. That and landscaping usually leaves on pretty tired.

But here I am making excuses for myself. If I was a true friend I would dive back into the previous pages of Off-Topic and find those pictures you posted.

This is worse than the time that I said I'd play Dawn of War with Soniv and then I never did. I wonder if he still hates me for that.

I'll make a post once I find those pictures friend.

I'm so glad this gif exists.

@Frudgey - what could there possibly be to make Mondays not suck

edit: I'm not mad at you for not playing DoW2 with me. I played a bit with my friend and remembered why I never really pursued it.

You just sound salty.

This sort of mission surprise is the definition of a tactics RPG and you can see it in other genre titles like FF:Tactics, Valkyria Chronicle, and XCOM.

I guess this is slightly different from a non-RPG pure tactics game, but even Advance Wars had elements of campaign imperfect information.

Perfect information pure tactics games are actually quiet boring; the only exciting one I've played in a while has been Frozen Synapse.

Also the model looks amazing by the way. I'm glad you posted this.
