RPGDL Discussion / Re: Fire Emblem levels in the DL

« on: January 09, 2010, 01:34:46 AM »

I take everyone at the same level (20/20 or ??/20 for FE) If you are going to use a character, if they are underleveled, I tend to let them get kills until they "catch up" to the other party members. I tend to do this for most games out there. Once they catch up, I stop the "favoritism" Even if you dont "use" an FE character, its still pretty easy to calculate average statistics if you know the growths and the system and stuff.

This is the only fair way to take things in the DL to me. The only exceptions are things like Gadwin from Grandia where he starts at level 30 and is a temp, so he is never even leveled with my party. The only FE temp I can recall is the Black Knight, and well... yeah... FE10 might be hard to apply to the even leveling rule, but still, you have bonus experience.

RPGDL Policy Discussion / Re: Should the Main Tournament Shut Down?

« on: January 09, 2010, 01:29:14 AM »

I say do write ups for the duels at least, but only have results written if someone comments on the results. Occasionally I comment on the comments section and that is used for a result. Only use those if they are extremely funny and amusing. I think that we DO need write ups: See what happened to not ranked without write ups, the votes got even less and lots of robs happened that final season.

Fou-Lu (BoF4) vs Mewtwo (Pokemon)- quit robbing people Mewtwo. LOL people voting on outdated mechanics that every other pokemon game doesnt use. If you port a RBY Mewtwo into Gold/Sliver, its the same Mewtwo, but now its using Gold/silver mechanics, thus the RBY mechanics become illegal to me. Fou Lou uses HP= 1 and LOL recover hype.

I just dont have the focus to play Real time strategy games. It is difficult for me to keep track of everything at once. I like to take my time making decisons and stuff. Nothing is "wrong" with Ogre Battle, I just cannot focus on multiple battles at once.

Its like how my friend cannot play even simple action RPG's because of her difficulty with the battles.

Yes, Shadow hearts 2 did have amazing writing.

RPGDL Discussion / Re: Allowing storebought damage magic in the DL

« on: December 17, 2009, 12:02:01 AM »

I allow Grandia Mana Eggs since there are enough to go around even for Sue and each egg does not give the same abilites to others. I allow Asellus Mystic magic since she starts with the gift for it, but no spells. (not that it really makes a difference)

FF1 I allow all storebought magic.

All others games are no's. Except Artea in Lufia 2 gets Zap since he is the only one that can buy it.

I do not like games that are similar to Ogre battle, so add that one as a will not play. (I've tried playing Ogre battle twice, I failed miserably both times. ) Thanks for the quick response!

As a side note, with my vote Pokemon DPP now has 20/30 votes! I'd say thats easily good enough to rank. No Platinum only or aftergame and stuff like that though.

Also, I'm planning on getting either an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3 with my christmas money for Final Fantasy 13. Any ideas of RPG's that have even a chance of getting ranked on those? I want some insight as to which one to buy. Leaning Xbox right now, but still a bit alarmed with the red ring of death.

A new Arc the lad game

« on: December 12, 2009, 06:06:37 PM »

Fou-Lu (BoF4) vs Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde (WA1)
Kyogre (PKMN) vs Mewtwo (PKMN)- force Mewtwo to the special split and the other games mechanics. (since RBY's mechanics are the only different ones, its easier to compare pokemon this way). So he doesnt have game best Special Def for me. Kyogre's awesome attack is special. FRLG's Mewtwo's special def isnt that good. Sure there is Amnesia, but It wastes a turn he could use to attack.

Maya Amano (Pers2) vs Billy Lee Black (XG)
Kanon (WA2) vs Alys Brangwin (PS4)- PC Kanon

 my voting prowess fails this week

Kyogre (PKMN) vs Royce (Lunar:SSSC)- LOL slaughter
Mewtwo (PKMN) vs False Althena (Lunar:EBC)- force Mewtwo to the special split. so he doesnt have super high special resisitance

Heavy

Pamela Ibis (MK) vs Maya Amano (Pers2)- Can Pamela even damage her?
Sasarai (S3) vs Billy Lee Black (XG)
Kanon (WA2) vs Tosh (AtLC)- I think? I didnt finish WA2 because my game stopped working, but I did get Kanon in my party.
Gau (FF6) vs Alys Brangwin (PS4)- DIE in a fire Gau.

Middle

Seifer Almasy (FF8) vs Max (SF1)
Oswin (FE7) vs Wiegraf Folles (FFT)
Lyon (FE8) vs Ivan (GS)- neither of the two should even be here! If Saturos can two hit KO Ivan (this is from my personal experience playing the game, I had Ivan in his DL class), Lyon most certainly can. And I have no Lyon respect either


Light

Garcia (FE8) vs Thomas (S3)
Black Wizard (FF1) vs Tim Rhymeless (WA2)- see Kanon on WA2. Played it, got Tim, but wasnt able to finish due to the game suddenly not working. I think its my PS2.

Prier (La Pucelle: Tactics) vs Etna (Disgaea Series)

Gordin (Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon) vs Wil (Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword) - Edit: Just looked up stats. Wil somehow doesnt double. He's still faster, so Wil goes first, and thus wins.

Doglikes:
Elc (Arc the lad collection)
Fou Lu (Breath of fire 4)
Celes Chere (FF6)
Ellen Kirashima (soley for the fact that she can beat Myria!)
Millenia

Heavies:
Ness (get back to Godlike Ness!)
Luc (My favorite character EVER!)
Feena
Sasarai (Him and Luc are so hot)
Zidane (not really a heavy, but thats where he is currently)

Middles:
Poo (get back up to Heavy poo! Starstorm + full healing is too good for middle)
Peppita
Rikku (fun if you allow her common steals!)
Sara (Breath of fire) She has my name
Sarah (Suikoden 3) Luc fangirl like me. Also has my name but with an h!

Lights:
Shabon: fun and quirky dueller too good for light
Soren: Awesome light. Reminds me of Luc.
Nina 3: Not really as bad as most people say. Her damage is decent at least!
Connie: Because every list needs a suikoden Dog.
Mint/Shiho/Mariel: Puny damage! Awesome Healing! These 3 are kind of the same dueller anyway.

Fighters that will never be ranked:
Liza (Saga Frontier)- Dream super combo is awesome. Also, why is fuse ranked and not her?
Lena (PS3)- My favorite Puny of all time. I'm the only person that liked PS3.
Aima (Lufia 3)- Someone else has played this? Aima is a great heavy.
Slime (Dragon Quest 5)- is either puny or heavy depending on how you take its moveset. Gains awesome moves at levels 77 and 99! Plus its a Slime!
Levin/Sety (Fire Emblem 4)- Holsety in the DL. If you dont understand why thats awesome, you havent played FE4. Plus FE needs more godlikes (Eirika doesnt count peoples, Tiby and Nasaela do).

Championships:
Arc/Elc champing Heavy. Great duellers from obscure games getting respect.
Asellus champing Heavy. Never thought I would see that.
Menardi champing middle.
Worker 8 champing middle. Cooker 8 LOL at the write ups. How was he even IN Middle?
Rutee champing middle. Nice seeing her get respect.

Duellers you love to see lose:
Ghaleon
Myria
Edge Eblan (I dont allow status claws so he wins many matchs he shouldnt to me!)
Nash (Lunar)
Cait Sith- I hate Status whores, I hate Cait sith as a character. Die Cait sith.

Spoiler matches.
Not really sure what this means really.
Worker 8 beating Indalecio is the only one I can really think of that amuses me.

I allow Asch's first fight its not too hard to win. *flees and gets a flame shield*
I also allow Kratos 2nd fight), as I didnt know that fight was loseable where you didnt get game over! I won it all three times. (Kratos 1st fight was a pretty obvious lose situation though)
I also allowed Dario when he was ranked. (he was booted for being optional. I voted to keep him)
I still allow Brahms 1, especially since I cannot vote on Brahms 2 because I got to chapter 3 in VP2 and hated the battle system.

Probably would allow Margulis if I had played that game if its not too hard to win.

oh votes:

FA beats VP1 Brahms. This doesnt matter either way. Yay first time champ!
Lyon beats Edge. Though I personally think neither should be here, glad Edge doesnt champ. Do not allow stat claws. (I allow elemental ones since you can buy them)
Cannot vote on the next two fights since I havent played MMXCM. Elly Champing is funny though.

Ken vs Nanaki

Shabon vs Soren- Hit rates for status in FE are res based. LOL Shabon's ID hitting Soren's res. Soren probably can pull out the win.
Karyl vs Melville- I think?
