Funny Addition to this video that makes it even better: Dataminers recently found that, due to a quirk of the way growths are decided on during a level up, every Growth Rate in the game is exactly 1% less than its supposed to be. Which means... Barth actually has a 1% chance to increase Resistance when he levels up. ... A growth that you procced multiple times. Wow.

Alexander Cobra I've only done sacred stones but it seems you have sort of an RNG "deck". It seem to checks the next "card" every time you have to roll an attack and then when you subsequently level.

"A lot of people hate armoured knights on Fire Emblem, and it's not difficult to see why" Oswin has a few words with you,sir.

[@whoisthisgit]

Oswin is probably the reason why most other knights don't seem that good to me, since FE7 was my first FE game. Gatrie and Brom from FE9/10 were pretty good as well, but given the choice between a strong General or a Paladin, I'd pick the Paladin every time.

[@manuunam23]

whoisthisgit general all the way... except vs a heavy magic user army, the general almost always wins against all other classes (taking special weapons out of consideration)

[@manuunam23]

movement won't save you from getting outdamaged by the general. Again, only mage users have a natural advantage over Generals. A paladin is just too wimpy to compare, combatwise, against a General. Paladins have only two real tactical uses: rescuing and taking out sniping/soft units, like mages and archers.

[@manuunam23]

***** I can't consider speedruns = hardcore, sorry. Just considering stat growth potential/ base stats and weapon diversity General kicks ass. Paladin is arguably, in almost all hard runs, (without any RNG control, just normal playing) inferior to a General, in those departments, and yes, though the paladin is superior in skill, speed and resistance to a General, it is inferior in anything else. Yes, the paladin has more movibility, but in a tbs it has little effect to move more, you will actually get surrounded in the next turn and get owned (if not playing an easy/normal run, of course). On your RGN (sain and kent being badass): I congratulate you, in my runs both paladins and generals are quite good, but Oswin never gets a scratch in his armor and Kent and Sain have got to be careful to not get surrounded and die. Also, I'm no casual, don't use that condescending tone... it's not necessary

[@AlexisSnyders]

I actually don't mind him because as long as you keep away from magic users his defense is good enough to be incredibly useful.

[@KittysLand]

"I sure do want to Barf right about now" Don't ya mean... Barth? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-no.

[@BonkHazard]

Honestly, I wish there was a game like Fire Emblem, but in addition to promotions doing what they do, they affect stat growths and let you decide how you want it to affect them: Wanna double down on what a unit is already great at? Go the specialist route and further push those high growth rates. Wanna work on mitigating their weaknesses? Take the alternative, the primary growth rates remain the same, but the lower secondary ones start growing as reliably as the primaries. So you could have a Mega Knight, like Barth here, taking little to no physical damage at the cost of still hitting like a wet noodle. Or you could get a Bruiser Knight, who can dish out what he takes and even double some classes beyond the fodder and other knights.

[@kreo45]

"hes better at barth than i am" fire emblem producer admits

[@daringspino3446]

11:04 the fact that the enemy loses is just laughable, his stats are way better than Barth and still...

[@Jadanbr]

that 2% growth actually indicates that he would get a res point in 50 levels in average, and the max number of times he can lvl up is only 30

[@mikesharpmni4264]

7:26 Skip to the last 2 lines if you don't care about statistics jargon. Null Hypothesis: Barth's resistance levels up 2% of the time. Alternative Hypothesis: Barth's resistance levels up more than 2% of the time We have a random sample, and these 30 level ups are less than 10% of all of Barth's level ups. We don't have 5 successes, but since we have more than 5 failures, I will proceed with caution. I will use a 1 proportion z test with an alpha value of .05, which means there is a 5% chance that I will be incorrect if I say Barth levels up more than 2% of the time Expected Proportion: 0.02 Successes: 2 Trials: 30 Test will be performed on a TI-84 calculator p-value = .0339, which means that if Barth's stat growth is 2%, there is a 3.39% of him leveling resistance twice Because the p-value is less than .05, I reject the null hypothesis. I have enough evidence to say that Barth's stat growth is greater than 2%

[@luckyc4t110]

60% chance of gaining one resistance point. 30% chance of gaining two. 0.00000000357627869% chance of completing challenge. (Math could be off, but you get the idea.)

[@smaragdchaos]

Is it seriously that low?

[@JR384]

Considering the developer of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia commented that he'd want to remake FE6 next...I really...REALLY hope they improve... like, everyone. Not just Barth, but Barth especially.

[@Prodawg]

How do you make god better than he already is?

[@blunderbus2695]

I'd just like to point out that with a 2% growth Barth has about a 60% chance of getting a single point of Res after training him fully. Amazing. What I'm trying to say here is that your Barth got seriously blessed with Res.

[@shellpoptheepicswordmaster755]

its a good thing we have oswin in Fire Emblem the Blazing blade instead of barth

[@Elalmadebudin]

Your chance of getting all the res without any cheat or luck manipulation is 0.00000000000000000000000000000000033554432%

[@lasumexaranethon7230]

If the only thing he couldve been useful for was Defence and he still takes up to 18 damage, TWICE.

[@croissantthedragmire6779]

'a serial adulterer' you fucking killed me XD

[@brazencoronet17]

Try and picture this Barth tries to outrun Galeem's light

[@TytoAlpha]

"More misses than a serial adulterer" is going criminally under-appreciated in these comments

[@the_real_c14yt0n]

I didn't know there was a secret shop! Which Chapter is it in?

[@Shirley4Vaga]

i think you meant you want to barth now

[@jpham1026]

Really only used Barth for the triangle attacks with the other knights. Yes, I've trained up the knights and my god the rng god blessed me with surprisingly fast knights.

[@romualdgarcia7236]

10:25 When Barth really wants his resistance point

[@lokikai2047]

Imagine trying to beat the games with having all three Knights and Sophia that is what I did as a challenge

[@Frikiman_H]

Hah! And people complains about Gonzalez's resistance...

[@jiaheliu6965]

the probability that this happens is sum_(n=21)^(39) (0.02^n * 0.98^(39-n) * 39 choose n) ~ 9.245e-26

[@smaragdchaos]

What if the name "Barth" is a mistranslation of "Barf"?

[@penguinemperor2077]

The funniest part is that the crit at the end had the same chance as Barth actually getting a res point. Overall, Generals have been among my favorite units to use, but maybe I'm just weird. Of course I also may have been spoiled by the likes of Amelia... the General who dodges like a swordmaster...

[@bigchunguslover467]

0:48 Sacred Stones. Amelia. Trust me, it works (Anyways Cavalier is far better)

[@ametaslave7314]

I love Armor Knights, but they're usually terrible, but I still love them. Gatrie and Gwendolyn and Gilliam are my favorite units from their respective games. I just like the clunkiness and bulk, but I like Gatrie because he's clunky and fast at the same time. Gwendolyn is sort of like that, but not quite.

[@AFPgamer]

I love knights but god FE6's knights are just... underwhelming to me. Maybe it's because Daddy Oswin carried me through my first fire emblem game and he's the best knight of all time, but I've played the most of other fire emblem games since then and man... FE6's knights just feel terrible.

[@thesoradog]

Lol, I actually tend to love knights and am using Barth in my playhrough even if he is indeed depressing. Armor Knight Sedgar from FE11, Xavier and Dalsin from FE5, Oswin from FE7, Gilliam from FE8, Gatrie from FE 9 and 10 and Benny from FE 14 are all staples of my playthroughs. Though it is true they are never the MVP of any playthrough, except maybe Sedgar.
