[I don't play for turns]

Sorry, never 1%. I think my lowest was at most 11% with 76% accuracy.... maybe a 3% once. I did miss once with a 98% chance to hit in the arena causing me to die, if it makes you feel better.

When my 1% cri chance happen, it's always happen when enemy will just die by normal hit.

And when enemy 1% cri chance happen, It will always happen after long chapter to make me to restart the whole chapter.

I wouldn't know, I turn on battle animations and if I'm emulating, throttle through the enemy phase.

No, but I've had Ike die to a Thunder Sage in RD's 3-1 with a 4% chance...

[Quintessence]

Of course. When Radmin crts Sothe in 1-8 with a 1% crt rate, and a 45~ hit rate.

This thread's description bugs me. If someone's been hit by at least 100 attacks that have a 1% crit rate, statistically, the expected number of times they would take a 1% crit is at least 1, making this no surprise. It's not really a matter of luck: it's a matter of playing the games enough for something a bit unusual to end up happening.

Never happened to me, I am too lucky for that. .

Only been criticalled about 10 times? And most of the time the crits don't kill me.

i've been told that it happens everytime you use aran in 1-4

My first time on Ephraim's route (so actually my second playthrough of FE8 at all), the chapter when you fight Vigard at the capital of Grado: already restarted various times because of berserk staff or I missed Rennac or chests... I finally made it to Vigarde, got everything I wanted, nearly beat him... when he 1%critted falco knight Vanessa. I was so mad that I decided to just let her die.

Not only has it happened, it's happened a fair number of times.

But that's not how it works, statistically. The game first calculates hit before calculating crit, so unless all of the attacks were 100%s, it should not happen in 100 attacks.

Also this is assuming the numbers are truly random, which they're not; I suspect the actual chances of getting a 1% crit RN are much lower than the basic odds would tell us.

Can't remember any special 1% crits right now (beside the obligatory arena ones in FE7 lol)
but they do happen to me... a lot...

One thing I remember very well though...
PoR, knight Gatrie blocking the way of one enemy hellebardier
enemy had arounf 57% accuracy, 2% crit and was doubling gatrie, but with laughable dmg
... Gatrie would easily survive even a double-critical from the enemy
and I was like: lol, 2% crit and a double-crit in one single fight, likely not going to happen...
guess what? enemy turn: double-crit!
...
I was rather annoyed... then I recognized I couldn't heal Gatrie this round...
well Gatrie would survive even one more critical and a normal hit...
so... 2% crit? double-crit in one single fight yet again? not very likely....
....
I thought....
>___>;

(critted 4 times in a row with 2% chance and around 57 accuracy.... *rage*)


I have a rule for myself regarding Fire Emblem games...
If the game CAN kill you, it will shit on the odds and DO so....


(I remember my Amelia getting owned by 4 skeletons once...
the skeletons had accuracy rates of 3%, 4%, 7% and 11% ... hit ratio - displayed hit! - hit! not crit chance! and they would only kill amelia if all 4 of them would hit.... guess what....)

[Shin]

After all sorts of horrible RNG, you do forget individual instances, I'm still grumpy about Sigurd's death to 1% hit.

[Ice Sage]

yeah I remember one. RD 4-3 Sage had a 50% to hit Naesala with a 1% crit chance. the sage crits and Naesala dies. ragequit

[Anacybele]

Haven't seen an enemy crit with a 1% chance, but I've seen my own characters crit with that percentage. In fact, Boyd did in my current playthrough of PoR. :P

I've also seen enemies crit with 2% and higher.
