The ping-pong'ing isn't looking so good though :(

Still hoping Ike pulls through but if he loses I'll jump to either Fjorm or Gunnthra. If they lose? Robin.

Join us, and lay waste to the world with the Fell Dragon. *laughs maniacally*

Actually, based on the score predictor, Ike might actually win. Unless Robin pulls ahead just a bit faster so he gets the multiplier so that Robin can get it.

Honestly I really love Fem!Grima's design (not surprising considering her artist) and she's a great unit. I'm supporting Ike mostly for Tellius rep honestly. So far the only Tellius units I don't have are Sothe (*cries*) and the new Bridal Sanaki, so I'm hoping that supporting Ike will convince them to put more Tellius into the game :)

I will join her if she wins...but only if she shows up when I go to pull again. So in other words, I won't be joining her next round.

[Anacybele]

I do think Tellius is still under-repped in this game. Tellius has like, the biggest cast in the series, I think. And even if it didn't, it's still missing a lot of notable characters, like the remaining Greil Mercs, Crimean knights, Marcia, Jill, Haar, the laguz, etc.

Glad Ike's got a chance here though! Come on, Ike, we have to fight for our friends harder than ever now!

I haven't gotten her either. But I won't try to pull for her. Because I am scared to waste all my orbs. Let's face it, trying to go for more than one is dangerous. Especially in a legends banner. For me at least. 

But I am really hoping that Grima manages to win. Ike is basically her biggest competition. @Anacybele actually mentioned to me that Ike and Robin would have the biggest teams. Strange how they never bothered to have them be on opposite sides in the chart, but face off in the very first round.

That sort of fails when we remember this is the RD Ike, and the PoR version felt more like the fighting for friends.

I actually managed to pull her yesterday finally! After more than a month of not getting any 5* yesterday pulled through for me! In 25 orbs I got Fem!Grima, Winter Robin, and Lute. I was beginning to get worried about my luck after over a month with mostly 3*...

But! I think the reason for that might be that they wanted to give another character a chance? Put the two biggest or most popular characters against each other early and maybe another character will be able to pull through. That's what I think anyway. Of course it's likely that whichever of the two wins this round will win it all.

Fjorm is pretty much guaranteed round 2 slot so you can go there in case Gunnthrá though I hope she pulls through same for Robin their my favorite girls here!

I find it more strange that every single matchup here seems to have pretty evenly sized teams. No one team is much bigger than the other in any of them. xP

I feel like RD Ike is just more mature and knows better when to not let his emotions get in the way or anything. He still cares a lot for his friends. If he talks to Sothe during that one battle against Micaiah's party where you're playing Ike's side, Ike tells Sothe they can stop fighting right now and find a different way out of this mess, probably because Ike considers Sothe a friend and knows Sothe admired him. This was showing that Ike really did not want to fight against former comrades. But he was forced to anyway. I felt like he was less willing to than Sothe was. Also, he made no hesitation to protect Elincia when she disarmed herself against Valtome.

I'm mostly on team Ike for Tellius rep. I want more Tellius characters in the game darn it! xD But if Gunnthra makes it through I'll probably go for her, then Fjorm since I doubt Gunnthra will win against Robin (wouldn't they be the next matchup? Gunnthra vs Robin if Robin wins?)

You know, those mid-battle conversations tended to tell us more about the characters involved than anything else. I would've liked more of them and way more base conversations honestly, they were all really good.

I was focusing on trying to get either Sigurd or Young Tiki, since I wanted to merge the former, and finally get the latter. Spent about 80 orbs and got the latter, though bad IVs. But even though I still have 100+ orbs, I won't try to get anymore. Too risky. 

But when either Grima or Ike loses, the people there will be scattered, so its a question on how the teams will function at that point. Ike or Robin might end up with even bigger teams at the end.

That is true. Very interesting coincidence there.

More mature, but the case of saying he fights for his friends isn't as truthful anymore since his fight with Zelgius made it clear that he's grown bored of other kinds of fights and has grown to love the idea of fighting strong opponents. Sure, he still cares for and would protect them, but now that he's forced to fight against friends, he shows the ability to not hesitate in killing them, since he tells Sothe twice that he's going to kill Sothe.

The battle conversations is one of my most favorite things about the Tellius series. Wrote a thread about it in reddit.

I've told you already that I don't really agree with this. And just because Ike says he's going to do that doesn't mean he actually wants to. It's because he has to and circumstances pitted the two against each other.

I still think it's as truthful as before, Ike just doesn't show it as much and certain circumstances forced him to fight old comrades.

Yeah, they were nice.

And we're still in same hell after the score update. Darn it, if the next multipliers, if any, come at the wrong time, we're doomed. And we need one at the right time to win...

I don't think the VG means more reps based on a winner its more just a contest.

I mean, can you say that it's as truthful as before when you also express how you think his leaving is completely out of character? 

Ike not showing as much is not just a sign of maturity, but also of how he's begun to change. We are talking about a 3-year gap. Plenty of people can change in that time.

I really want Sigurd! But I have like..... 3 orbs now xD Maybe someday.
Oooh could you link me to that? I'd enjoy reading it :)

I'm afraid I won't be too much help anymore, I'm out of flags. But I can still help out some by battling I suppose xD

Well no, but it might lead to more popularity which can lead to more Tellius to be included. It's just an off chance but one I'm happy to help along in case it does :)

Honestly, we need more Awakening characters too. Not variations, but actually new ones. Where's Sumia? Libra? Gregor? Seriously, they completely left those out for us.

Yeah, sure. I don't see how those statements contradict each other. I don't think RD Ike's writing is as good as it could've been, but I also don't think it's as bad as some people think.

Hey, you never know what might make a difference. Summer Freddy would've beaten Summer Gaius in that summer gauntlet last year if he'd had two more active players drop 400 flags that hour. ;_;

[Momentai~]

I ultimately want to support Ike but I figured that could wait until the final round because the multipliers on team Ike would likely be few and far between. I expected that Ike would have a much larger team than Grima, what with Ike being a free unit and also being, well, Ike.

Well shoot, I guess i'm being punished for thinking of feathers before muscles. Victory feathers would be a nice consolation prize to make up for the less than expected amount of multiplier hours. Oh well, if Ike makes it to the next round I'm joining him. If anyone would like to add me then I am happy to accept. My ID is 9346382259. Please let me know if you send a request so I can know you're from here. I pretty much always have Barst as my lead but I can send out other colors if needed. Good luck everyone!

Same boat! Tellius rep is the reason, I'll always back a Tellius character no matter what. Also because I tend to love most of them.

Team Ike has a slight chance of winning considering we under performs in the second to third last hour to score a multiplier in the last one. Here hoping, Come on Ike...

Thank you much, I enjoyed that! :) The boss conversations are great and now I'm reading through them again xD And yeah, that's really my biggest issue with alts, they're taking up spaces that new characters from the games could be getting. I mean I don't really mind alts, I just wish they'd fill out the roster more before bombarding us with alts..

Good! We might given how things are going... It looks like we'd need a big final hour multiplier to win now. But if we're still stuck in same hell the whole way through, or Grima Robin gets that final hour multiplier instead, we're definitely not going anywhere.

It looks like the predictor is broken.  I still have 400 Flags, assuming we get another bonus hour.
