Fire Emblem Speed Upgrades (Other than the GBA titles)

We could use the average height of a 15 year old female

 

[Miles_Romero12]

Indeed. 15 is the canon age.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, 15 is Lyn's canon age with Sain and Kent saying Madelyn eloped 16 years ago. Also, in a support conversation with Wallace, Kent mentioned Madelyn eloped 17 years ago, meaning Lyn would be 16 by Hector/Eliwood's story. Also, Eliwood and Hector were confirmed to be 17 during the game in their first support conversation. It was mentioned that they've been sparring every 2 months since they were 12 years old. And that their were 30 matches total. 30*2 = 60 months. 60/12 = 5 years, 12 + 5 = 17 years.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Just gonna give this a bump, to bring more input

 

[Miles_Romero12]

Why dont we just implement this already?

Bolting literally acts like a normal thunder.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

The distance moved needs to be calced I think

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

The distance moved needs to be calced I think

Indeed it does; also, how are we going to handle that the dodges are mostly based on rng?

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

It could just be their peak, but Bolting is dodged most of the time, meaning that it's very easy for them to dodge

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Everything in this game is determined by RNG, but the subsonic rating was originally for dodging arrows, which is also determined by RNG

 

[Reppuzan]

The problem is determining an accurate way to pixel-scale them given that dodging animations and sprites all vary.

The Hero class raises a shield, Swordmasters step to the side, Eliwood's horse moves its neck sideways...

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Could we just make it to where they just barely dodge?

 

[Reppuzan]

@JustSomeWeirdo

No. As part of our Lightning Dodging Feats rules, we need to be able to measure the distance they traveled before the attack hit in order to get a proper reading.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Well, we could just scale with Lyn or Hector and just use the average height for their age and scale it to everyone

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

I'd pixel scale myself, but I have no experience in it and I don't have a device that I could do it on

 

[Miles_Romero12]

Use...Erm...Paint.

 

[Lina_Shields]

Before the calc can be done, we need to know specifically if characters dodging meteors and other things are in-game play, or game mechanics.

Once we get that settled, we can do the calculation, and we can rest easy.

However, we do see the said characters in the game dodge incoming attacks [as they are shown in the game, I think], so it shouldn't matter if the dodges were based on RNG, as the character in question was shown to have dodged that said attack anyways.

 

[Reppuzan]

Ursula, a fairly important character who the heroes canonically fight during the story, used Bolting against the heroes while they raided the royal palace.

Sonia, an even more powerful character, did the same in her stage in the same story.

 

[Miles_Romero12]

I HATE when people easly dismiss plot-important feats because they are "outliers" or "game mechanics" in their opinions.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Well, PoR and Radiant Dawn both had meteors, and when characters appear in a sequel, they are confirmed alive

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

Also, Hector was in Sword of Seals, meaning he had to dodge Bolting in Blazing Sword, as well as the other characters who canonically survives

 

[Miles_Romero12]

Pretty much

dont forget cecilia survived being struck by a holy weapon while fightning zephiel. So, every FE6 character after that has At least high 6-A durability
