Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Critical Hit Collection 60 FPS

[@Niloc624]

True fact: Spinning your weapon will greatly increase the damage of your next attack, even if you don't do anything with its momentum

[@blazingkite8983]

Soap at least mercenary uses the momentum... Kinda.

[@niconicokms1424]

Soap except if you’re a myrmidon or swordmaster, then you go so fast you leave after images and slash so damn fast it’s visible in the air, probably through a sonic boom.

[@nd35780]

Or if you're an Assassin that moves so fast that you occasionally create a _reverse_ sonic boom, thus resulting in a silent kill.

[@lollerboller343]

Or if you're a paladin who has a horse that moves so fast he created a quantum time stop where he charges all his power and crushes enemies.And all of that without your enemy knowing your horse even charged at all.

[@jericreynaldo4293]

Spinning your weapon shows confidence that your attack will kill in one or two hits, i think.

[@syndixel9857]

To me, criticals are the most satisfying thing in Fire Emblem. Nothing says "ah" than watching those beautiful animations unfold and the enemy be decimated.

That moment you get a crit and it doesn't kill. I cri everytime

critical hit animations and sfx on the GBA is the most satisfying thing of all time

[@UnusuallyLargeCrab]

They really are masterfully done, there's a short telegraph that lets the player stop clenching their butthole and let out the air in their lungs when they needed that crit to survive, and then the character EXPLODES into action in a single frame and before you can blink their weapon is six inches in the enemy's head. I've been playing Awakening and while the cut in frames and voice lines on crit are cool, it's no where near as satisfying as it was back on the GBA and the updated graphics just feel a bit lazy in comparison to the artistry of the sprites.

Man I can't wait to see the critical animations in the future with better graphics and hardware. Fire emblem Awakening - Three houses *Quotes* ...wow

[@TheHeavyModd]

They really did their best there didn't they! /s

[@earlpayud3222]

the Swordsmaster Crits are what we can (almost) always see, it increases when holding a Killing Edge and weapons that increases Crit Rates, the animation for the Crits are cool too, but the swordsmaster crit is what i like the most, having struck 5 times at the enemy must be a good thing to feel when defeating one.

Crit

[@Arcanyum]

it always get on my nerves to see that people only knows to compare the new games to the old ones instead of seeing them as games of their own

[@the.hex_x]

2:53 OH YEAH! THAT WAS SO CLEAN

Beyblade fatality

[@just-mees]

Animation in fire emblem hit a peak on the gba Also what about the ranged sword animations?

[@Mr.Pallanza]

Bosses: "Noooo, you cant just toss and spin your axe in the air and then decimate me with criticals" Dozla: *_BRRRRRR FLYING SPINNING AXE GO ZOOM_*

[@fannyfannyshi2816]

JOSHUAAAAAAA! also I love Paladin & Wyvern Knight's strike pose, cool!

[@KratosAurionPlays]

The hero critical is my favorite. Just throws the shield up in the air and catches it after the kill XD By the way is there any special benefit to having more than 100% criticals? Like at 3:18

[@stylishgaby]

Kratos Aurion Plays no but you can have more than 100% in game thanks to "Thor's Ire"

[@strinkfamily1940]

If you could Overcrit with +100% chance that'd be hilarious

[@GrassPokeKing]

Nothing besides flexing on the enemies with your chad-like levels of crit.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

In FE8 Ross having more than 100% is normal. He's OP as fuck
