>He didn't use caith sith as his dedicated mage/summoner memelord
Faggot, bet you even used Barret
>slow and obese
>dies instantly by magic
Really wish I used
My scrub eight year old self relied on Cait Sith's dice to do any real damage since I was too peanut brain to figure out how materia worked or buy new equipment or level up my party (ran from most encounters).
Summons aren't worth it.
Also I spread out my magic, Cloud had all the offensive stuff while Tifa was the healer.
Barret was the tank.
>claims to spread put mag
>relies on basic tank/healer/dps trio
>Spreading out magic when enemy skill exists
You know materia modified your stats right brainlet?
God i hate Cat sith. Literally everything about him is out of place and they should have revealed Reese as him earlier before end of disc 2.
Cloud/Tifa/Cid for me bros
> Why wouldn'CHA play with me?
I always end up using cloud/yuffie/caith
Cloud is the physical attacker, yuffie is the enemy skill memequeen and item user with some situational magic then transitions into a fucking beast when you get her ultimate weapon and x4 attack, caith is the mage healer summoner, altho white wind covers most of the healing.
Cloud
Tifa
Barrett
Why would I use anyone else?
It's the best formation.
I use Enemy Skill as well, but early on when it doesn't have much you rely on regular magic.
But I use her all the time.
Cloud cid barret.
No thots.
fag
This except 90% of characters
Only Glenn, Riddel, Grobyc, Starky, and Ayla's mom ever got played when I could actually choose
Someone did a test where they literally hit just attack over and over for the entire game. Every single battle until half way around Disk 1 was won this manner. That shows all the "strategy" you guys employ is pure meme shit.
except why would you ever pick pathA? fuck kid. let her die.
>posts most likable character from the game
yeah well you have terrible taste
link it, that sounds like horse shit
some fights absolutely require you to heal otherwise you'll just get out damaged
>not just using your favorite party members
Blue magic is broken in this game. You can go 3 DPS party and still win because of big guard and white wind
Nobody ever said the game was hard, but you can still do it faster. Optimizing in itself is fun.
>Cait useless
>Tifa as healer
Never use this bitch in BOF3
>worse magic than any other caster
>worse attack thank any other fighter
He's basically the pacifist who joins up because the universe is going to end and is forced to try and be effective, but fails at it.
I just used Cloud, Red, and Vincent. Like a baller
OP
oi i swear on me mum chu
>Best tier
Cloud Cid Barret
>meh tier
Tifa Aerith
>Shit tier
Yuffie Vincent Cait sith
Cloud/Cid/Barret is objectively the strongest trio. No girls, no furries, no twinks, only raw damage.
>nigger
Fuck off Barret is based
>Cid
Cids shit.
The objectively strongest trio is Cloud/Barett/Yuffie
This. They're only good for stress relief.
>Yuffie
>low damage
>Shit limit breaks
kek
youd die to the first boss if you did this though? "attack while its tail is up"
Most doujins are kinda dark if you think about it, we witness abuse but it as all depicted through the clouded eyes of the abuser
Why do you think I fap to it?
>Yuffie
>low damage
>Shit limit breaks
She doesn't have low damage or shit limit breaks, you can get her to hit 15 times at 7k damage per limits with doom of the living.
>Shit tier
>Yuffie
She's worth it just for full damage Morphing.
>Tifa was the healer.
based benchwarmers
time to take the training wheels off
she's so bad that even the story forgets she exists
>The most dangerous enemy in the next area absorbs fire attacks
>So does the next boss
>His limit makes him spam fire attacks ENDLESSLY
wtf was squeenix thinking
He's a cuck.
>incredibly based
>ridiculously shitty gameplay wise
>Has a level 3 limit on par with or better than other characters' level 4 limits
>Shit
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah, no.
yeah, bullshit
sause
Cait sith looked ugly and jarring as fuck in ffxiv
>benching the biggest damage dealer
retard
They're not bad but why whould you pick them instead of Ayla/Frog/Magus
Not to mention you cant control him once he transforms.
Frog and Marle casting Ice Water carried my ass through the mid-game.
>Buys things instead of stealing them
>Useless in battle
That's not a problem considering the shit Gau and Rinoa can do when doing their berserks. Vincent is just downright horrible.
But RPGs are terrible for any kind of speed/challenge running, which you can do in more interesting ways in any other genre. 'Optimization' is way to vague to mean anything, there's just a billion different way to make things easier
There's no way you got to the gold saucer if you were that dumb.
>Ayla
>Magus
Yeah, very true.
>Frog
Niggah what, he was shit. I mean, as "shit" as anyone was in CT where objectively speaking you could trivially beat everything in the game with absolutely any party you wanted, there were tons of super items and of course tab abuse.
But otherwise Robo was everything frog x10, fucking ludicrous.
>Wanna post a trails character because it's the first series I think of when I think of JRPGs
>Literally every character is useful in combat
>This is even reflected in Sky Third's final dungeon, where you split your 16 total party members into four squads of four, ensuring you use everyone
Feels good to be a kisekichad.
this except frog is still more useful then marle
You're fools if you're not using the best trio of Cloud, Cid, Yuffie.
Yuffie is the fourth strongest party member. Her Doom of the Living hits less times than Ungarmax and Highwind, and as many times as Omnislash but Omnislash also crits with every hit. Yuffie's full damage Morph is great though.
Frankly any combination of Cloud/Barret/Cid/Yuffie is gold.
Cait was my healer/summoner, Red was mage, Cloud did cloud things.
Wished I could use four people so I could take Cid or Vincent as well.
*posts like half of Suikoden II's cast*
But this guy
this guy is the fucking worst
Truly awful.
PHANTASY STAR II
Shir Gold more like sheer SHIT.
Annoyingly she's actually decent but the chance of her deciding to fuck off home every time you go into a shop ranges from irritating to crippling depending on how far from home you are, so you just end up never using her.
>they can't perfectly manipulate slots to get full elixirs and other broken shit at will
Get on my level scrublords
Can you manipulate the slots soemhow?
what about that girl with the gun who's only useful for earth wall?
"Man this guy fucking sucks why would you even use him once you have another party member to replace him"
He's actually legit good.
Vincent is legit ez brainless mode provided you don't use his limit break in Mount Nibel on either Dragons or Materia Keeper. Get Death Gigas ASAP and then use that for the rest of the game till Chaos becomes available.
This faggot. Upgrading him is shit and you get a better tank just after he becomes usable.
Yes, I can't do it myself though I was just bsing
She was my dedicated healer
No one else heals better than her
>Thread is about party members you never use
>Have to use him on Naoya's day 7
Retard
She's actually pretty useful in the late game when a Melia + Riki + Sharla can kill enemies 20 levels higher than them. Allows you to get the best rank VI gems without having to level grind to level 90.
Oh shit I forgot about Josette. She's the least useful but she's still viable enough that if you like her and want to use her she isn't a real drag on the party.
The only game where my favorite character was also the most OP
>Doesn’t use fuel
>Can heal gears with EP instead of frame heals

Nigga, you dumb

>Cloud
>Useless to the story and fucking goofy
Class and style >>>>>>>>>> usefulness
People don't play Xenogears for the gameplay
I 99% agree you with you.... But Bowman is so so much worse!
Bowman doesn't have spells. Bowman's normal attack is slower than Noel's. Poison pills his first attack is semi decent and tri-attack (that's the name I think? It has been years) is okay, but that's his last freaking killer move.
Noel can at least serve as a secondary mage/healer. But when it comes to physical, hell, Ernest is even better than Bowman.
Wrex from ME1. Due to problems with his model he doesn't fire his gun or take cover properly. Of the biotic skills he only has warp, barrier, stasis, and throw. Warp and barrier are good. Throw is only somewhat useful depending on the situation and stasis is only good on Shepard. Even if he does fire his gun he usually just switches to pistol which he doesn't have any bonuses with so his combat stats are entirely durability related and in no way helpful in actually killing shit. And once again - he does not take cover properly from time to time due to model issues so he just stands there and just gets shot to death.
He has a lot of durability if his AI does cooperate but because of everything else listed he tends to be dead weight most of the time and just make things way harder than they need to be if you had used anyone else but him. He also lacks First Aid which can make many missions even harder since you are effectively doing them with only 1 party member meaning you are likely to take more damage since fights go on longer and the ability to heal yourself is also diminished.
Every other character is better than him and honestly none of them are bad - especially when you know how to equip and skill them.
I really wish there was a mod to fix Wrex for ME1.
Lucca never left my party. My main comp was always Crono/Lucca/[mix of Frog/Robo/Magus]
naw
Gabocha has worse stats than he does
>useless in battle
>He hasn't used the transfer sidestep combo
Tatsu is generally better than Morag, may be due to the blades I have on her though
Crono x Lucca is underrated
Best is
Crono x Gina
Momo is better waifu
Gabocha has the benefit of being a cute kobold
Freed is a grown ass man who gets cucked and licks creampies off of his wife. And you're forced to use him for long torturous minutes.
Yeah, but you're not actually gonna go use Gabocha unless you wanna fuck the puppy.
So in the end Freed gets more use than Gabocha ever does, making the latter suit the thread more.
No, you only can have the third form of poppi in super late game and its hard to get and costly to upgrade
redpill me on that guy and his sister
>"kate sith"
"what if that reliable lock-on magic you're used to instead hit a huge fucking aoe, but only in single tiles and COMPLETELY AT FUCKING RANDOM"
Their skills hit multiple times in random tiles of their radius. So they could hit the same target multiple times or just miss all the enemies completely.
Said skills also have shit damage, as if they're designed around not immediately killing someone on multi-hits.
Crono x Lucca is the best ship.
>Minda Sword
The only reason I used marle was because I enjoyed watching her do her little butt spank
You suck at Xenoblade and aren’t playing it right. #NoponMasterRace
>useless
>has Slots, the most broken move in the game
You've probably never played FF7.
Tali is completely fucking useless in combat, needs to be saved in EVERY game, and a dumb teenager with no combat experience needs to NOT be on my elite squad of ultimate badasses flying around in space in my top-of-the-line stealth ship when I'm trying to save the galaxy. It's crazy that in ME1 you can skip Garrus but you can't tell this useless cunt to fuck off. I have NO idea how people have her as their waifu since she's in an unflattering suit either - Miranda and Samara are MUCH better waifus.
I played it on PS1 when I was 7 years old and replayed up to Aerith's death on Switch this year.
>tank healer dps
you're fucking gay, user
gotta go garr and the cat dude bro, also a its a shame not to many people talk about this game. The fishing was fun
>slow swings
>short range swings
>fragile weapons
>useless charge attacks
>not cute
Why
Poppi QT Pi is the best tank or the best damage dealer in the game if you grind Tiger Tiger until your eyes bleed.
There's a lot of useless units in Warcraft 3

You get a nice campfire scene later, but that is literally it. There is no real impact on coarse of the story or the ending since her pendant always saves her. I like Kid, but there is no reason not get Glenn plus you get to avoid the character with the worst speech tick in the game
*Air units you*
Leliana
*laughs in THE END JUSTIFY THE MEANS*
I'm not getting roped into this shitfest of "lol i counter u" "no i counter u"
if you can't recognize the usefulness of spirit walkers you're low tier and don't fucking reply to me
That's not Sten
>worst class
>worst weapon focus for that class
>only gets one specialization when every other character in the game gets two
Only thing I'll say about Cait Sith as far as combat goes is that his limit break sucks dick. You can kill you own people and literally get a game over. Any character with a multi hit limit break is better.
In the story he is pretty bad too. How they tried to sell him as a hero sacrificing himself and not a remote controlled robot in the Temple of Ancients was probably the most heavy handed part of the whole game. They really expected me to forget he was a back stabbing spy and think he was giving his life.
Limit break is mostly the difference factor in ff7 with that in mind, Cait Sith is the outlier and should not be compared with the other characters. You only use cait sith if you want a challenge.
Thief
Gordon
Arc
Edge
Krile
Shadow
Red XIII
Selphie
Amarant
Kimhari
Ashelia
Hope
...
You mean Snow
She did seem super weak, I ended up using Gar and Momo.
Yeah just rolling until you win instead of an actual strategy. Must be how zoomer gacha babbies play these games
>Kimhari
YOU TAKE THAT BACK MOTHERFUCKER
Lmao git gud salty faggot
You can literally beat those bosses without having to press a button. Stay mad gacha shitter
because i'm not a fan of cavewoman and i'm not a fan of cavespeak. Lucca>Ayla any day
Luck is also a skill.
Cyan in ff6 is amazingly bad. Why would you ever wait an hour for his meter to fill to do one attack, allowing the enemies to get more hits in on you while your entire team does nothing because of this?
No.
I only played with this team :
Cloud
Yuffie
Caith sith
Every character that arrive later in the party.
that scene happens before you decide to save her or not.
I can't wait to see more of this robo-cat.
Barret can break the damage cap though, what is this meme?
You're supposed to load materia on one character since it fucks up their stats. Cloud is pretty much the power player so don't fuck him up with materia aside from the obvious 4x attack stuff.
>Have a friend over
>Dicking around and showing him how well Playstation emulation works
>Load up my last FF7 save right outside Junon
>Decide to end the tour by getting obliterated by Emerald Weapon
>Start battle, Air Tam Storm, instant limit break fills
>Use slots
>Somehow get the complete face
>"Game Over" insta-kills Emerald Weapon
I felt completely vindicated for having used Cait Sith the whole game.
>cloud had all the offensive stuff
Do you even read? This is the kind of people who thought ff8 was too hard.
I didn't know this was even possible.
Fuck. Also I preferred cheesing ruby over cheesing emerald. Something about the path to the different cheese routes and the book and the submarine shit. Just never liked emerald.
But he can insta-kill every enemy onscreen lategame.
So can any fool with Ultima, and they do it without waiting all day for that meter
legit question are you retarded?
>Low defense
>Low attack power
>Enemies always target him because of this
>Only good for teaching 3 combo to Seth and Kaim and early spirit magic to Ming and Sara
God I hate Mack
You have to wait on the Bushido screen to charge it in the snes release, user.
The real reason to use him is for the psycho Cyan glitch
What's that do? I never used Cyan if i had the option not to.
youtube.com
a very easy glitch to activate that makes cyan retort his retort over and over until everything is dead
Makes him keep spamming the counter swordtech to the point no one else can perform actions.
I used Cloud, Vincent and Caith Sith
Literally who used this guy
Sadly, her Rico, and Billy
Three favorite characters in the game too
Eruca was worse
>two in the shit tier can 1HKO every enemy in the game
get your head checked
Bowman can shit out ludicrous damage if you play as him and never stop hammering the PEELZ button, since the animation cancels into itself. But he IS absolutely worthless otherwise.
Cloud, Cid, Vincent the chad trio
At least Rapha makes a good item finder due to her low Bravery. Malach is totally worthless.
Cloud, tifa, nanaki gtfo stupid cat puppet
>useless
>Cait Sith
fuck you too then
>Krile
I know you wanted to name a character from every game, but the stat differences between characters in FF5 are completely negligible, and since you'll have almost every Job in the game when she joins your party, she immediately hits the ground running.
this guy gets it
>edge
>worst character
>he doesn't dupe excaliburs to shit out mountains of damage every turn
>furry oc
>good character
replaced instantly dumb furfaggot.
Not too far in the game yet (too lazy to grind) but its sad to hear since characterwise I like her.
>tfw cool robot design but already have a strong team by then and can't squeeze him in
So many SFII characters unfortunately, many join too late to be any use. Skreech, Lemon, Sheela, Claude, Chaz, the other 3 characters you don't get from Creed...
>replaced fast mage cat
Your fucking loss
replace with fucking vincent with d.blow. Do you even know what 255 acc. means?
Granted, you only have the option to use her on-foot like three times in the whole game, and Seibzhein holds his own all the way to the end.
>edgy vampire
No thanks, I have cloud with KOTR triple cut and quad, why do I need anybody but the guy who gives him haste the fastest?
He makes a decent pair of glasses for Lilina, so you only have to worry about her getting speed, and not her shitty skill growth
early game pre disc 2. What? You breed golden chocobo so early in the beggining of disc 2? Do you even want to play the game or just watch cutscenes?
Any characters with butt related moves are top-tier. It's not like Chrono Trigger is hard enough to worry about having one weaker party member in.
I use him but only because no one else does. The party is like a team. Everyone should take one for the team. No exceptions.
>he doesnt breed his gold in disc 2
Leling at your life senpai
"Use" Yuffie? Say that to her face.
is there literally any reason to use her when joshua, gerik, and even fucking colm do everything she can do but better
all she does is give you a shamshir
Colm only ends up 1 str point above her by 20/20 assassin, and Marisa has a much higher skill to help her proc crits and lethality a lot more often.
Then with Joshua she trades about 3 points in str for about 10 points of luck, to make her more reliable at dodging, in exchange for not being as likely to kill.
She gets fucked by all of them save Gerik on availability though
>steam community
peak zoomer ngl tee bee haych my relative. wish I had PlayStation underground scans from like 98 or some shit with this information already in it. I used to hoard gaming magazines for a few decades
>ken and koromaru have weaknesses to instant death spells
>join the party at a time when regular enemies learn and use these spells
yeah you guys arent gonna use up my homunculi
>i'm afraid of technology, the doom boom
nigger the game was made in 1997, if you're still reading fanzines from then for leet strats no wonder you didn't know you could have a shiny gold that early
now get to it
The merchant's final skill is pretty bad too (Bifelgan's Bounty)
nah I mean I played the game in 98 when I was 10.. By age 13 we had all done cheese strats and had begun passing around steve's gameshark and my copy of ff8. Debug menu waals scary uncharted shit around that time.
again though, she's the best runelord, and all of her boosts are going to transferring element runes and sidesteps
That doesn't look like the superior Cloud/Red XIII/Yuffie team
*AHEM AHEM*
I hope you aren't being serious. She's one of the best characters in P3, and absolutely fucking busted in the PQ games.
