We all know the glitch that makes Hugh really strong for no reason, that was introduced by Feditor back in the day(for reference, it really only occurs in the english version.) The glitch has the weird status of being a completely unpredictable beast that has completely random effects on Hughs stats, but...it kinda is not. Like, not at all. It always happens in the same way and it always has the same effects. It happens after Hugh gets his stats reduced at least two times. After that, the player can suspend and reload the quicksave to get a halfway okay unit for basically free. 2 statreductions always mess with his attackstat and 3 reductions always mess with the attack and the skill-stat. I will attach a picture that shows the "unused behavior"(because it is impossible to occur without hacks) when his stats are lowered by 4 points(or more), which is just that each of his stats that get lowered, except luck and HP for some reason, get affected! I have no idea what is actually happening in the game, but I wanted to clear up some misinformation regarding the topic(there were two prior topics about it that literally just said "Hey, it exists. can someone explain?") and want to explain what is happening and when it happens, so that maybe someone who can actually deal with code, unlike me, might be able to look into it. Since nobody knew the scope before appearently and thus it was unclear what to look out for. I appologise if the Information presented by me was already some common Knowledge around here. (Just for reference, appearently the lowest his stats after the suspend can be is 32, which is 1 more than the maximum value that can be saved, if the individual stat is 0 after the statreduction. Just in case that is somehow relevant to finding out what is going on)

So on my first run through this game (on a reproduction cartridge, not emulator) I got a glitched Hugh? Mind you this did happen over a year ago, just curious about this. I only realized he had glitched stats when I checked him on chapter 19B. His Magic and Skill stats were both maxed out, but all of his other bases were normal for the price I bought him for, which was the lowest possible. Of course I used him from that point on, especially after figuring out he was Canas' son. But just wondering if this is a common glitch, or if anyone else had similar experiences.

Due to some reasons, the FE6 MANLY RUN had to be cancelled. Fortunately, after some planning, we have decided to restart the run. This means that I LOSE ALL MY SHITTY LEVEL UPS!!! Oh well, I'll probably get them all back anyway. Rules are the same as last time. 1. Obviously Men only (Elphin is a guy) 2. Women can be moved, but other than that only used for recruitment (Sadly, Echidna is a woman) 3. Elphin or Echidna Route doesn't matter at all 4. Same with Ilia or Sacae 5. Normal Mode, because the lack of healers earlygame will make it nearly unbearable (Also because I'm a coward) 6. Just gonna throw out a swearing warning, if anyone actually cares As Marquess unfortunately left us, a new person will be taking his place. The manliest of men have facial hair, and who did that? He is experienced in the art of manly runs. He is myth. He is legend. He is probably going to get much better levels than me. The FE6 MANLY RUN will now feature... DODGEDUSK!!! That is all. Here's chapter one. [spoiler=Chapter One] IT RETURNS PLOT You bet your ass it was, cause this! Is! ELIBE!!! Oh wait... It says Pherae doh RAT FACE KID Let's not A moment of silence for the item in that village We will never know what it is What? Villagers? You think I give a shit about villagers?
